  1. So I found a setting that works for me with my BB1025X. Reduce the treble, bump up the mids (shift switch out) and bass, compression just below noon, gain around 3 o’clock with the gain switch off (clean/bass channel clips otherwise). Sounds great in the mix in a heavy rock setting. Play lightly and all you can hear is clean bass, dig in and it can get very grindy indeed. One thing that felt odd was playing high up on the D & G strings with a decent amount of compression and hearing a low end thump as if an octaver was switched on! With this setting, turn off the mix to get a clean tone and it sounds terrible as the EQ settings were tweaked for the other channel. So I would’ve preferred this switch did something else or wasn’t there to make the pedal smaller!
  2. You could switch between them, but you wouldn't be able to mix them!
  3. Mine's here, cheers Tony the Tiger. It's grrreat! Just gave it a quick blast through headphones. Main out is noticeable brighter than the XLR, thankfully a XLR to jack cable in conjunction with the ground lift button means I can use the XLR into my headphone amp. Yes it has a headphone amp on board, but this is the same brighter sound as the main jack plus there's no aux in and I don't knoiw where my mini-to-big jack adaptor is! I will reserve judgement until I've put it through its paces! Oh and if anyone wants to sell me a BDDI v2 give me a shout as I'd love to compare them!
  4. I don't know, I just twiddle the knobs until it sounds the bestest. I tried all the Toneprints and preferred the stock setting. I think they dialed they one in just right!
  5. Try a compressor. Can't recommend the TC Spectracomp highly enough, a bargain of a pedal. With a suitably long attack time, the compressor lets the note attack through untouched, then clamps down on the volume. The overall volume is then boosted to compensate for this. End result is the attack of each note really pops, yet your overall dynamic range is smooth and controlled.
  6. Another good clip here, even if it does sound a little bit like the theme tune to Inspector Gadget: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bik1QdqlAPd
  7. Sounds good to me! @Cuzzie would say otherwise and that it sounds like a Bontempi organ though!
  8. Not sure why you'd want to intentionally replicate his tone either if this is representative of it:
  9. Got an Octamizer a little while ago... I really like the tilt EQ control on the clean channel, I wasn't expecting it to be as useful as it is. If you have your octaver early in the chain, adding the extra subs can end up feeding too much signal into dirt pedals, driving them pretty hard. By rolling off a bit of low end from your dry signal, you ease up on the amount of bass going into the rest of the chain which makes things sound much clearer and tighter as a result.
  10. Hopefully he is too busy licking stamps to affix to DP3X boxes to read this!
  11. And you will need it for now as the pitch shift is not as good as the Tender! However there was heavy hinting on a TB thread that Line6 have hired people that worked on the POG algorithms so a decent polyphonic octaver should be in the pipeline!
  12. The Teemah is comparable to the Rumble. I couldn't get a muff sound that responded well with my bass from the new selection but the legacy one worked much better for me. Don't be afraid to dig into the older effects thinking that all the new ones must be better - you need to dig into the legacy selection to get a decent octaver for one!
  13. Depends what kind of drive you're after, but the B7K sim is pretty much bang on and the Teemah (Timmy) has decent low end and sounds very nice also, either for a woolly vintage Motown type tone or something more aggressive.
  14. I was assuming 2 days also, otherwise I will not be a happy bunny!
  15. You might be pleasantly surprised by the drives in the HX and not necessarily need an outboard one. Most of them are guitar oriented, but since you have the ability to clean blend or even split the signal with crossover, you can work around those issues.
  16. If you end up using just the Rumble amp sim, may as well save money and just get the Rumble V3! However the SVT and Bassman models sounded pretty damn good to me in the demos.
  17. If this pedal will achieve anything, it will bring this young 'rapper' with his fistful of $1 bills a few more hits on his Youtube channel!
  18. Another pedal that some of you synth crowd will be into: https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/downer/
  19. I was looking around for a garden office recently and came across these guys, they have examples of sound proofed studios too: http://www.boothsgardenstudios.co.uk
  20. Looks like a iRig Stomp but with Mac/PC compatibility. Could be pretty nifty when paired with a micro PC like the GPD Pocket. You could even run Helix Native or the Darkglass plugins on it. Edit: looks like there's a new version from IK Multimedia that looks even more flexible: http://www.ikmultimedia.com/mobile/products/irigstompio/
  21. No I have a 1025X but sorely tempted to add a 735A to the stable!
