The G2M sucked for me, even when playing straight into a hardware synth. Just too much latency. Industrial Radio is the lowest latency possible. The Imprint software takes the string energy information and imprints it into the MIDI signals so that one gets a more nuanced and bass-guitar-like feel, though this needs to be done via something like Ableton Live. I’m still considering going down this route. There’s the Meris Enzo which sounds good but I haven’t tried. Envelope options are a bit limited but seems capable of some great sounds and is polyphonic. I didn’t like the Boss SY-300. The oscillators sounded a bit crap and editing was a pain on the tiny screen. Octavius Squeezer sounds fantastic. Rare, though there’s a used one on eBay right now. Editing is pretty cumbersome to say the least though. The Future Impact is very good. I just bought one after renting one last year. It’s much better than I remember. Perhaps tracking is better on my Precision bass (I only tried it with a Sterling and Jazz last time). Some patches track better than others but it’s pretty satisfying. Patch creation has to be done on a PC or Mac and loaded onto the pedal. One can coarsely (settings of 1-9) tweak a few parameters of any given on the pedal itself; these are attack, decay, envelope depth, dynamics (envelope follower sensitivity), filter cutoff, resonance, balance (between synth and bass), level and effect level. I’d still recommend buying a synth too though. There are some great and cheap analogue synths our there for under £400, some under £200. Check out Novation Bass Station II, Korg Monologue and Minilogue, ARP Odyssey, Behringer Model D, Roland SE-02. A used Moog Sub Phatty or Little/Slim Phatty can be had in the same price bracket. I’m still getting some great synth-type sounds from my Octabvre, Mastotron, Manta and Enigma together. Also, Source Audio are working on a pair of pedals which cover octave, filter and synth oscillators and that ought to be pretty good.

Above link is to the whole album. There are a couple of interesting Led Zep reimaginings. The standout original track is this: Also worth checking out is his previous album with a great Jeff Buckley cover and some more amazing originals with throbbing OC-2-type bass on some tracks. Full album: Buckley cover:

SE-02 is only £349 at Wunjo. That’s a damn good price. I’ve seen them go used for that money.

Sonic Couture are having a sale in some of their plugins.

Some great deals on today: https://www.andertons.co.uk/b-stock-%3A-nord-piano-3-88-triple-switch-grand-weighted-hammer-action-78593 https://www.andertons.co.uk/roland-se-02-boutique-studio-electronics-analog-synthesizer https://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/product/korg_prologue-16_polyphonic_analogue_synthesizer/ session.de is also doing 10% off everything.

That’s a feature from the BOD and is quite useful.

I’m definitely interested in this. If it has the same great tracking of the MXR BOD with the sound of the OC-2, then along with the lovely blue livery and a small package, what’s not to like? Also, more headroom than original I’m hoping will translate into more gain on tap.

Where? And any other bass clips that the first one that was on TB?

I definitely felt it, more so when anchoring my thumb on the E string and playing the G string. I have shortish fingers.

Sterlings actually have a slightly narrower string spacing at the bridge (1/16” less) than Stingrays according to the EBMM specs. I found the difference a plus when I compared.

It looks visually similar to the Memorymoog. I’ve watched all the Moog live-streams and it does sound great and the architecture is well thought-out. I like the fact that all editing is possible without recourse to a PC editor program.
