I had a GT6B and it did the same thing. It was fine in stomp box mode, but no good in patch mode.

I love that sound. What is this pearce bc1? I can't find much online.

Maybe a standalone synth pedal would be more appropriate? If you're only using synth sounds, and you're still not happy (you want a blender) then it could be the best bet. The ME50B (I think) has a reputation for small silent gaps when switching patches, but if you use it in "stomp box mode" it'll be fine.

I always got the soundman to mic my amp(s) in addition to his DI straight from the bass. I would politely ask that he just use the DI for the low end, and most of them seemed to oblige.

I tried it again last night, this time at a proper volume. When set to "unity gain" the OD side does work, but it's very weird. It sounds like a battery is dying in my bass or something, but then on the fuzz mode it sounds great. There isn't a gate or anything in the OD side is there?

[quote name='Doctor J' post='1101000' date='Jan 24 2011, 04:39 PM']The Holy Bible is one of the greatest albums ever written. Saying that though, I can understand why it's not to everyone's taste, especially people who can find merit in the later stuff [/quote] I did go to see them last year with my mate who's a bit obsessed with them (as a result of the holy bible) and they were pretty good. I could listen to some of the later pop stuff, it's not bad, it's just not The Holy Bible. JDB's solo album is allright as well. We saw him play that in Stoke. Such a powerful voice. I swear at one point during an acoustic one they turned the PA down and you couldn't tell. But yeh, it's the weird, dark production of effects and samples, the unusual almost a-tonal riffs, and most of all the lyrics.

The first two albums are deffinitely JDB playing bass. Whether or not he played on the holy bible...?

I think it sounds like the work of another band![/quote] Ahhhh, so refreshing! Normally people like the later stuff and not the holy bible. It's a work of art. No idea about the basses, but are you sure Nicky played his own parts on this one?

I'm going to have to play a bit more with the drive side! I might put the BBM in the lo pass side of my board to fatten things up without the mental top end from the fuzz.

I have to say I tried it next to the BBM and I did prefer it. The Big Muff is best for mental fuzz though, where as I normally like just a bit of of crunch. The Dry outputs on these pedals makes them ace for recording, but on my pedalboard I use one blender for all my dirt pedals.

[quote name='willyf87' post='1100597' date='Jan 24 2011, 11:36 AM']My OD side does barely nothing anyway, seem's the same on every review on you tube as well, and one's I've read. I think it's just the way its made not a fault![/quote] really?!?!? In that case maybe I had my "amp" set too low (I was just recording into the PC).

It's nothing to do with the polarity. The bass big muff has the same polarity and that will work fine on my daisy chain.

I tried my blogger last night with an individual psu and it worked for the first time! I was very pleased. However, the OD side isn't working, it just gives a very low output clean sound, compared to the fuzz side which is very high output fuzz. With the gain rolled back it sounded quite nice.

Your post did make me chuckle though.[/quote] Is that a status 6 string fretless? Do you still have it? I love that. I think I bought my little rack off you dude, but that's for studio gear, not a bass rig

I've had trouble with mine. I can't find anything searching the EHX forums for blogger. I think I may have fried it anyway.

No one has mentioned Timmy C!!!

Fair enough. My band don't like it, so for rough demos we do just use the PA, but when i'm trying to get a "proffessional" sound I force them to wear headphones. The review was great by the way!

Maybe you should be practising with just headphones for everyone? No PA?

You use a line-out from a CD player to drive the unit? If so, just use a line-out from your mixer.

I suppose you're thinking that you might have different pedals on the effect out from the big muff? The Y setting on the morley pedal isn't really a mixer, it just splits the signal. I would have thought it'd work to be fair but obviously there's an issue. I used to get cross talk when using the same pedal to switch between (and both) two guitar amps. Using an LS-2 which has an active mixer eliminated all that. Do you have two inputs on your amp? You could send the two outputs from the muff to the two inputs on your amp?

Si can't you get trigger type things that stick on to the skin? Or would that not be appropriate for feeding the sidechain?

You're not going to use the mic so it can sound awful. It's just to feed the side-chain. You should be able to find some crap mic for £10 or less off ebay.

I don't know if there is a pedal compressor with a side-chain input. I think you're probably looking for a rack unit. You could have a footswitch on the kick drum mic so that when you don't want the compression, you just remove the input from the side-chain.

You could get a little clip on mic or trigger type thing to add to the kick drum when you get to a gig, seperate to the soundman's mic.
