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!

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!

if you dont mind it would be interesting to see!

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?! these things are mint!

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

How much?

If that is your current cab I’m not sure @Bill Fitzmaurice would recomend. Also it’s -10dB at 35Hz

sooo good! I must admit I did scan through to see if you had the one I'm thinking of making next sushi box top left?

and fixed the slight LED noise bug

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

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…

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 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362622196914?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-ktJ_5BeSB-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=g-S2GOEbSbm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

2pole double throw on-on switch

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
