I don't have this problem with my boss digital effects (Slicer and DD-20) on a daisy chain, but then my PSU can do up to 3amps.

I've been trying to figure out how to say wonkyily for 10 minutes now. I'm a FAILURE Learning to play everything in standard tuning is probably what proper musicians do, but I found the capo fit nicely with my dullard style

Going through the whole frequency range would not be a bad idea! you never know how the EQ is going to interact with your bass, amp, cab, and any other pedals you might have. Having said that... lows are 50-150Hz, low mids are after that up to 400Hzish, high mids are up to 2.5Khz then after that it's highs Lows are what you can feel vibrating you (or not) low mids can be muddy or boomy or tight high mids can be honky or cutting or growly or smooth Highs are "sizzle" etc For a "tight" sound, you probably want less lows and controlled low mids, so a bit of compression and a subtle high pass filter. It's very difficult to figure out what you mean though. Anyway, on my parametric EQ I have it set to boost 800Hz to give me a nasty gnarly sound for certain sections of songs

I used to tune down and then use a capo Pitch pedals can be great (I have a couple) but they'll never feel the same IMO

I would say I'd want the frequency to be adjustable, as well as the Q. So, it'd be gain, freq, q, blend, volume. I wouldn't mind if the volume was a tiny little pot on the back next to the jacks, kind of like on my XP-100 I'd love to have such a pedal but no doubt wouldn't afford the price of one of your finished units, sorry!

Sorry to hear this Pete, I hope it works out for your return!

sorry, I don't think you have many options. It's a shame because it's a great mic, I use mine loads

Sorry, I know the basic questions are annoying. So it's definitely a problem at the mic end as you've ruled out the pre-amp, phantom power, and cables. However, your techy guy says the mic is fine I guess temperature/humidity will have an effect on the diaphragm, but nothing significant. I have the same mic and it never cuts in and out, no matter what the weather. I guess you can try a different techy, or skip it

Do you have another mixer or preamp with phantom power you can test it on? Just to eliminate the focusrite unit

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1412160075' post='2566210'] You started it. [/quote] Surely there's a gif for this thread?

you need a boss LS-2 or similar ...but I think there are units designed for this specific application. I don't play double bass but I'm sure I've seen them around. Like a Fishman box with an input for both pups, blend controls, EQ, DI and amp outputs

haha, yeh, it's not that simple. If the drummer is ahead of the beat, it could sound like he's trying to push the tempo faster. I guess it comes down to learning how to play together as a rhythm section

I use effects for all sorts. Sometimes it's just to go from a nice mellow sound to a horrible nasty spikey sound. Sometimes it's to create mental sound scapes. What I particularly like to do is use a whammy and digital delay in a feedback loop to create crazy high pitched sounds

(as a drummer) In my folk band, the bassist dictates the "feel" and I just stick with him. It's not something we consciously decided to do, but it works very well. Some songs are lazy, laid back and "on the back of the beat" where as some songs are pretty frantic and constantly in front of the beat. There are a couple of songs which I would describe as "dead on the beat" but obviously I'm not a virtuoso or a machine! In my reggae band I just try to do my best to ignore the rhythm of what everyone else is doing. It's a bit of a nightmare. Whenever the bassist is on the back, the rhythm guitarist is on the front, and vice verse. I don't know how they manage this but they've been doing it for 15 years. I'm a relative newcomer so I just play loud and hope they're playing to my "groove". It makes for some interesting rhythmic combinations!

I didn't really understand this until I started playing drums to a click. Where we'd previously sped up, we were now "ahead" and where we'd slowed down, we were now "behind". It sounds a lot tighter than actually speeding up and slowing down!

confirmed, we have tickets for Manchester! I'm looking forward to it

I wouldn't say I prefer one or the other. I have 50+ single pedals, but I also have a few multi-effects too I started on a Zoom GFX707 when I was a teenager and played with it almost every night for about a year (and the pedal ) and this taught me how to shape sounds, and which control changes what on which effect etc.

I'm not a big fan of the band but I love The Holy Bible

haha, can't be that hard to get rid of them on here but you do have to pay subs (not much) The BDI21 in particular won't hang around, but then you won't get that much for it, maybe £20 at best. Thomann have the B3 at £105 plus shipping. Amazing value for what you get

digital and analogue delay too on a serious note, if you've never played much with pedals, I'd get a multi effects like a Zoom B2.1U or B3. Then you can use this to find the effcts you like. You may be happy with the sounds you can get from the unit, or you might decide to replace it with other pedals, but at least you'll know which effects you like.

Don't know, I left it in my mate's hands, hopefully we have tickets for Manchester!

shhhh, we can buy them all used when he gets bored!

the Boss SD-2 is a great pedal, but I do like a bit of a clean-blend on it with bass. There are a few different ways to do this but the LS-2 is most common
