I'd prefer a single better quality bass, however I'm of the view that anyone gigging ought to have spares so that would force me to the Harley Bentons.

When I had a Super Twin I always ran a HPF to get rid of some low end.

I went for 10s but with the added Tweeter option.

Smartphone? Theres loads of silly noise generator apps, many free.

there's a million ways to get the right tone. Probably thousands of ways to get the same tone. I like what the BF 10 inch cabs do to my tone, but I also really like the DI from my Mark Bass head, just with a load of compression on it too. To my ears, Ashdowns and Ampegs need the cab to sound right to me. Mark Bass sound right to me without a cab at all. It's all good. I both want a Three10T and also want to not need it!

Nice!

I have a Catalinbread SFT already and it's nearly exactly what I want. It's so close that I'd describe it as a meal that has 1 ingredient in slightly the wrong quantity, particularly at very low gain levels. I'm hoping the Jive will sort that. I also have the T21 Paradriver which I can dial in closer, but the layout is very annoying for my tiny gigging pedalboard so it stays on my larger home & silly noises board instead. Hopefully my Jive will arrive next week sometime.

If I didn't already have the Waza-Air I'd be all over these!

Foot control.

From the demos I'm expecting to like the option with the switches all off just to add a little something. I often like a p bass with flats, but with some mid range nasal nastiness - like John Deacon's 'Live at Wembley' tone - that just seems to bump the harmonic content a little bit. Sounds a bit rubbish on it's own but nice and fat when the rest of the band are playing. I will be trying the synthy suggestion though. I do like noises like that. I've tried lots of synth pedals and I either come back to separate pedals working together, or the good old Digitech BSW.

I've ordered one. Thomann have silver editions done for their 70th anniversary at a bargain £299 including Vat and shipping. Also comes with a £50 tone pack. Should be with me middle of next week with a bit of luck. I'm initially going to use it as an all instruments lounge rig with a single powered monitor. And then I'll take it from there.

I emailed Chris to ask him. I got a 1 line reply "They all work together but you would just hear the strongest one." That's interesting to me as the 'scope trace shows a difference when more than 1 switch is active, but Chris does not expect it to be audible. I wonder why he went with 3 separate switches rather than a rotary or other single switch. I also wonder why on his website the graphic demo app-thingy shows 2 being engaged for a particular sound. I'm beginning to think he's taken a leaf out of Lee Sklar's book about switches!

I view stack / no stack as an electrical question not an audio one. The circuit shows that the switchable components can be in the circuit at the same time. Thus, electrically they stack. Whether that is audible or not is irrelevant to that issue. Audibility would be in a separate column regarding actual benefit or not / audible by humans or not of the stacking. Semantics are important to me even when they annoy others. Sorry.

To be fair, you did say they do not stack - not that you just couldn't hear a difference. I might not hear any difference either, but my ears aren't as good as a 'scope. I do wonder if the changes would be more obvious with different signal chains / instruments. That might be a fun thing to do when mine arrives. Compare guitar and bass use and maybe even a keyboard too.

Here's a video using a 'scope At 7mins it shows that they do stack - it's subtle, but there's a trace change. JPTR Jive - Soaking your Sound in Saucy Saturation (youtube.com) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJKWkaD7Mxc&ab_channel=StompboxBreakdown Also - if that circuit is accurate - then it shows that the diodes are able to run together.

If that was the case - why does the demo on their site show 2 switches activated for some of the sounds?

Ooo! I have a shipping email! Assuming Germany to UK is as efficient as ever these days I might get it next week!

That’s Gross. No idea what his overheads are.

Leave it on then! 🤣

The Tonex captures of the Noble are supposed to be very good. I’m thinking of getting one even though I usually use a T21 Paradriver for a DI.

Be aware that the neck J pickup is not in the same place as a P pickup would be.

OC-5 It’s ace.

I ordered on Monday and haven’t had a “shipped” note yet.
