Says that the EQ is boost only. All the other reviews I've seen say it's boost and cut. I shall have more of a play tomorrow. 1 Quote

Yes, it's boost/cut, just doesn't have a centre detente. As bass amps all have their own characteristic pre-baked EQ curves, centre detentes are a bit meaningless anyway. I think the reviewer doesn't understand the MID controls - the manual explains it, very briefly. It's a sweepable mid, with a MID FREQ control to set the frequency to cut/boost (200Hz to 2kHz) and a MID control to do the cutting/boosting. 1 Quote
misterdistortion Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Finally got to put the wee beastie through some of it's paces with the Jazz Bass this afternoon and I'm rather impressed. As a practice mini bass amp it's very good indeed. At first I thought the compressor wasn't working until I realised it works more like a limiter to tame transient notes rather than obviously squashing the sound and adding sustain.. Quote

I found that set about 3 o'clock I got a brilliant funk sound that made even my slapping sound half decent. Quote

MacDaddy Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago It would be nice to move away from headphones for home practice, so one of these could be ideal. How could I play along to songs I'm learning with it? Quote
crazycloud Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Has anyone with one of these used it as a guitar amp? Looking at maybe the Joyo + battery pack or Headrush FRFR Go to play either guitar or bass on the beach, for practice. The Joyo would be the cheaper option by a bit, when it's available down here.
