wow - what is the fretboard on the Ritter neck? I have a significant birthday coming up but I'm pretty sure I won't get a bass!

Brilliant pedals these, I'm already regetting selling mine.

Might have been cool to change the 2 pot to a filter, or add a dry on/off stomp switch there.
I was thinking about a switch for turning dry off, not enough space for a stomp switch.
I looked into a filter - that was the plan originally - but unlike the boss this is a fraction bigger than 1590a and the parts you would need to hack into are smd parts under the jacks - so way too much dissasembly and risk of messing it up!

No , I can take a snap if you like ? But to me it feels louder than the Oc10 on minus 1 without dry
if you dont mind it would be interesting to see!

Man I love them Oc10's 💪 .
They don't make them anymore , apparently sonicake bought them out... I use their sonicake Octaver, exactly the same imo and a stupidly cheap price. I bloody love it
I know - was a bit scary modding it as if I broke it they aren’t super easy to find any more! Comparing it to Jim’s octave collection was interesting, it was most similar to the OC2 but slightly different voicing….
You ever looked inside the sonicake?

Bass players are supposed to like octave right?
but through the old zoom multifx I had I was always non plusesed, I liked it even less when I had a hx stomp… and my idea of a SA C4 synth pedal as the be all and end all of effects on my board came unstuck when I couldn’t get a oc2 sound I liked out of it. Don’t get me wrong, recorded and listening back it sounded great - but it felt wrong, it was something about the attack and maybe a slight latency that made things feel really staccato or something.
which is fine, I don’t like octaves. I’m not mad on jazz basses either - but we are all different and like different things and that’s ok.
then my friend @jimbobothy admits to being a pedal addict. Now maybe there is support groups for this but the nice thing is he’s let me try a ton of analogue octaves over the years from the first markbass raw I tried which seemed nicer than what I was getting with the C4 … and mxr vintage bass octave which I hated- but they sounded different to the digital versions…
then unexpectedly won this on eBay - and it’s amazing, it sounds pretty much the same but I prefer it to the oc2 I’ve tried, it’s maybe more low mids focused, warm sounding, tracks to low D on a 5 string (!) and just lovely.
and like an OC-2 - just not quite loud enough - so treating it like an oc2 I took the -2 pot off, and tied the output to ground [note if you try this the input is on the wiper, not the output like a oc2) and it’s awesome - mid point on the direct level is now unity, the -1 is louder and … well who ever uses -2 with bass anyway?!

Okay so my Mvave chocolate plus came - and as is usually the case, there are issues (with my C4, I think) 🤦♂️
When it's set in PC mode, it goes through the presets brilliantly, with 0-3 corresponding to 1-4 on the pedal etc...
Issue is, for some reason number 4 and a couple of other random numbers seem to bypass the pedal when they switch the preset. The controller DOESNT do this to my ultrawave though and pocket midi also does the same thing to the C4 from my PC. Any ideas anyone? 😫
I've tried factory resetting the C4, and uinstalled and reinstalled neuro 3 too...
you can set per preset if they should be on or off when scrolled too. check in the app

The middle aisle of pedals.
I bet it sounds almost identical - I think it would be as harder to design your own pedal with similar features than do a direct copy

I'm not sure it would be an improvement on my current cab which goes to 35Hz?
If that is your current cab I’m not sure @Bill Fitzmaurice would recomend. Also it’s -10dB at 35Hz

There’s a new batch and they’ve added an internal switch to choose between true bypass and having the drive still active.
and fixed the slight LED noise bug

Why do the power supplies need to be isolated? You could easily split the Stomp power supply by getting 5.5/2.5mm male and female connectors and a 5.5/2.1mm male connector and connecting them up as a daisy chain but they wouldn't be isolated from each other.
because some digital effects have dirty earths and/or effect each other to pull the switching noise above the audio band down into the audio band... which can then get into your audio signal

Had you calibrated your scales before the weigh-in?
Reason I ask is though the T-series are frequently cited as heavy, that's down to the hardware. I had 2 T-40s from 1978 and 1 from 1979, all were 12.5lb. Stripped for cleaning, just neck/body/neck plate, they were a bawhair over 5lb.
By 1981, Peavey were looking at ways to lighten the basses. One change was to the pickup, the blades are lighter.
T-45s have 1 pickup, 1 pot, 1 knob weighing 1oz, and a scratchplate needing about 40 screws less than a T-40.
You are right - I had a T40 not T45. Picking it up wasn’t fun, but once strapped on it was glorious.
my main bass at the time was a Warwick in the 7lb range…-

Yeah, it’s a fair point about isolating the tuner. I just figured that as both pedals are digital, it would be preferable.I already have a Pedalnetic foot switch extension for the Stomp, but would like to try and retain 5 switches for fx blocks rather than lose one on the tuner, hence a separate tuner.
The gigrig isolator would be great, but each output only gives 100mA.
Si
I was thinking a wee 3 footswitch midi controller - giving you 5 on/off per patch, patch up and down and tuner - midi expression socket too

This looks to have the longer screw thread https://northwestguitars.co.uk/products/dpdt-on-on-mini-toggle-guitar-switch-for-coil-tapping-phase-switching?currency=GBP&variant=44780380094738&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&stkn=adf9520837bc&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADh7zofznsnNpIJdudkhZ3nxj5_vP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwm5e5BhCWARIsANwm06iV5WmtJUOjqwklFny1tWscfKlrOxpmgtKIz3PZ3fDFy0JQhrxSqLUaAltrEALw_wcB

Much of a muchness I think - if a cheap on lasts 5 years and the expensive one 7 it’s a quick enough fix - the main thing will be getting that longer thread yours has
so check measurements- something like this maybe

Not sure I like the new aesthetic as much as V1. I always liked the rubber knobs on aggie stuff.
I think the graphic designer got sacked when Aguilar got bought out... I imagine Korg are giving the design to their work experience interns? 😶
What other reason is there for putting the drive control, light and footswitch at different corners of the pedal?!

My old t45 was 14.5lb - so yours is a nice weight there

Do they need to be isolated? Typically when the tuner is on it will be muting the signal too…?
otherwise a gig rig isolator or the mooer version?
an alternative would be to build a wee midi footswitch the size of thr space with 3 foot switches on for stomps tuner and two for whatever else you want … would still need isolated power…

thats the bass in mind version or something? Not that I know what it means but I think it means it's better!
