If someone else has used it before you, do you put paper down on it first or do you just hover over it? Make sure you wash your hands after touching it too!
Both the MXR vintage bass octave and bass octave deluxe have been rock solid for me on passive P and J basses right down to low F on a four string. I’ve not tried them on five string as I don’t play one.
I agree, the digital one are reliable but I’ve yet to find one whose sound I prefer over my favourite analogue ones.
Young Jedi, you are quite mistaken. As with all these things, you have the option for the messages to be latching or momentary as you desire. You’ll have to try harder to be awkward. 😆
