I can only say good things about the Fat General clone... After all I built it! But it kicked the Cali76 Compact Bass off my board (before the whole board was replaced by Ander's Alpha Omega Photon!). It's a FANTASTIC compressor.
Except there are no retention slots for the saddle screws on the bridge so the bridge pieces will get pulled all over the place.
It's a fix that shouldn't be necessary anyway
Bargain. Best basses I've ever owned. My Excess 5 string blows me away every time I play it.
I'd have had this if I didn't already have a Roger Glover signature...
I believe you can load whatever IRs you want using the Darkglass Suite. I never needed to for my purposes.
EDIT: Website confirms that 3rd party IRs can be loaded onto the Element using the desktop version of the Darkglass Suite
Just received an HX Stomp XL from S'manth who responded to my wanted ad. Smooth throughout and I'm very pleased. Sort of deal that makes basschat what it is!
