For octave down, the OC-2 is about as popular as it gets. For filters, there must be 1000 different kinds and there's only one way to find out your favorite...

I like the new shape, nice!

oooo, sounds ace!

Yeh, Phil is right. My mate had a similar problem with his Zoom B2.1U recently - he set up all his patches on headphones, and then wondered why they sounded so sh*t through an amp.

So sometimes you set it up and it's fine, others it just doesn't turn on? That's a weird one. When it wont work, does the PSU get warm? I suppose it's worth trying another PSU. You might have a mate or a local shop with one, but then if it's such an intermittent fault it might work for half an hour in the shop, and then stop working at home with your new PSU.

My barge concepts blender has a switch for the blend on/off as well as loop bypass.

you could get some sort of expression controller built into the bass. Like the zvex proximity plate on matt bellamy's guitar.

The blogger is only 100Ma

Have you tried the new Zoom units? They're pretty quiet. If the M13 is rediculous, I think the M9 is smaller?

When you say it's cutting out, do you mean it keeps turning off? You can tell by the power light. If it's not turning off, there's no reason to think it would be the PSU. Is it related to movement at all IE does this happen when you're rocking the whammy?

When I tried the blogger I tried it daisy chained on my Godlyke Powerall, which i'm pretty sure should be able to handle it. I swapped one analog dirt pedal out for the blogger, and it wouldn't work. I don't think it consumes that much power?

I often wonder why people bother with reverb pedals. Are you playing in a really dry room? Or is it for some sort of "special effect"? A really cheap and very fun addition to any board is a feedback loop.

yeh, i've never bothered with the blue light 'cos I have bulbs in my studio

zoom patch switching is barely noticable, far far better than the boss units i've tried.

What a head f***. Why wouldn't you just have a whole seperate rig for guitar? Sorry, that's not very helpful. Seeing as you're taking up a channel for the guitar mic, and then a channel for bass DI, maybe asking for an extra mic for bass would be pushing it, in which case a DI with some sort of amp sim that resembles the colouration of your bass rig is what you need. Having said that, it sounds like your band is so big that one extra mic wouldn't hurt!

Although Jennifer's comments are perfectly valid, and probably represent a more mature attitude, I have found myself banging my head against the proverbial brick wall on a couple of occasions. Once a soundman said "you're not using THAT EQ" and then started to mess with the EQ on my amp. Another guy wouldn't let me use my rig at all. I think they're both pretty unreasonable situations and i'm sure there are many more examples.

They're used to dealing with a DI straight from a bass, which as we all know needs EQing to sound good. I don't see why it'd be different coming from your board? They have an EQ strip instead of an amp sim. As I said in the other thread, I used to DI but get the engineer to lo pass that and mic the cab(s). I think that'd work great for your situation?

I think there have been loads of suggestions on how to get a good sound, and that's because there are loads of ways to do it. Discuss it with the soundman and i'm sure you'll sort it.

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?
