in my head a lot of digital effects have a kinda sound signature - which goes from raw harsh organicness (Source Audio) through to Slick smooth polished studio type sounds (Eventide) - my inexpert opinion having not played as much gear as other folk on the thread, but for bass, esp live, the polished sound doesn't work as well as rawer sounds.
Obviously that's not always the case, music style varies, what you're running before it matters, and where it is in the chain too...
This sounds like the polished end of things.
