OK you had me tapping my feet to that. But still, it's a bit like tomato sauce on cornflakes.

Can anyone explain the notch filter please and thank you.

Not for me I'm afraid! Each to their own of course, but disco reggae is clearly too refined a taste for my palate.

True but it would have sounded sh1te if you couldn't compress your bass properly

Four years of lusting ends in sadness.

I have an SVT which I keep planning to sell. Then I look at it, and recall the experience of playing through it, that wonderful room filling bass sound, and I don't list it. It can't be that heavy really can it? Then I try to lift it to find it must have been bolted to the floor. There's nothing like it and I have owned it and gigged it. Box ticked, now it's time for a younger bassist. -
I do love a good compression thread. Apart from the obvious trolling, some excellent contributions here. My first experience was a button on a Carlsboro head way back when. I pressed it my bass lost everything I liked so I turned it off and swore off compression for life. Waded through a couple of threads on Basschat many years later and decided to investigate further. My advice is to try as many pedals as you can, learn, and I mean really learn what is happening with each of the settings, try it first last and in the middle, before and after different effects until you find what works for you. I now own several compressors and limiters and have at least a rudimentary understanding of how they work. It's like everything in life, you have to put the work in.

Cheapest I could find on ebay. 15 quid came with velcro and cable ties. I joined them underneath with battens.

I was amazed when I saw a Bruce Thomas Profile for sale 'upgraded' recently. Simply because I can't think of a single way to to improve the stock model. I do appreciate personal taste comes into the equation, of course. However for sheer sound quality, playability, balance, weight and reliability I've never owned nor played better in 40+ years as a bassist.

Been a bit rough lately, but I'll survive! Love that Jackie Mitoo track so much. The bassline is a lesson in hypnotic simplicity

Can I slip bit of Studio One ska in here?
-
I mean it could be... All I know is that when I mirrored the settings with those on a YouTube review of the P&C it sounded identical.

Shekshy!

I did not. It was assembled by another Basschatter, I bought it from him.

Just finished this board. 'clean' signal is tuner > octave > chorus > Freeze > limiter. Into this can be mixed three loops. 1 = the Yerasov board + Prunes and Custard clone. 2 = two envelope filters. 3 = the Littlebox. It's flexible and sounds killer. Mostly I just keep the Yerasov gain and preamp on and use octave for a couple of tunes played up the dusty end and the envelope filters for some funky soul. The P&C is utterly filthy and pretty amazing. It's hard to hold back on it! The rest I shove in here and there when I feel like it. Power from two rechargeable packs or two 9v wall warts.

Bought a pedal from @Eater_of_Birds when I took a punt on an old advert and it transpired still to be available. Utterly painless transaction, with prompt, polite communication and a well packaged pedal which perfectly finished my board. Deal with absolute confidence.

I suspect the reason digital multi effects come out 'incomplete' is as @itu suggests. Better get it out, ASAP, then release bug fixes, firmware updates as and when. The customer is effectively buying an unfinished product then gives the company kudos for updating it!

I made the last of my last Harley Benton patch cables last night. There were tears.

@paul_5 has two feedback threads. I am posting in each of them because he is two times better than the most imaginably amazing Basschatter. I've bought pedals from him which he has made himself, one of which he practically made to order in under a week and I literally had to over pay him and still got a crazy bargain. Top, top class Basschattery from a super top class Basschatter. Thank you.
