Byo

Shame it's been cancelled. Currently watching Janek Gwizdala's latest video regarding the cancellation and the fact that him and Ian Martin Allison are still looking at doing something in London. I hope they do manage to put something together, I would definitely get a ticket to see them both.

Curious to try out LUNA. I have been hesitant about it as I have been on Logic for years (and ProTools way before, I learned on ProTools 7/8 many moons ago).

Option paralysis is definitely a thing when you have a generous amount of UAD plugins. I also do try to limit myself, and try to build a channel strip for each instrument/vocal going in. Funny enough, I have also upgraded my rig with an 8-channel ADAT as my 2-channel Apollo was not enough in some scenarios. I do like the fact that you can still load plugins onto the ADAT channels and get a flavour out of them too. In today's "in the box" workflow, I do like to commit to tape sometimes (with a separate clean DI tone as a backup) as it makes things more interesting when committing to a sound.

Option paralysis for sure! Haven't had the chance to use the Avalon yet, will put it on my wishlist ☺️

Hi there! I have been using the UAD Apollo ecosystem for a few years and wondered what other bassists like using in their digital signal flow. I have had great results running my P-basses through my A-Designs REDDI and then into the Apollo, using the industry-standard Neve 1073 plugin and then into the DBX 160 or the 1176 compressor emulation for a great all-round sound. I do like other preamp and eq options within the UAD range too. The amp simulations are also pretty good for in-the-box production, and I do not need to piss the neighbours off late at night if I want to get an Ampeg 8x10 sound onto a track 🤣 What are your favourite signal chains? Would love to see what everyone else is doing 🤘

Very interesting pedal. Amos' NAMM demo was great. It's great to see another bass player bringing out their own parallel Octave + Drive unit 🤘 I had Tom over at COG Effects build me a custom parallel Octave/Drive unit over a decade ago called the Octagrit. https://www.cogeffects.co.uk/octagrit.php

Sounded great on Zack's video, looking forward to hearing what other bass players do with it.

Nice one! At one point, I was also using a similar setup with The Accountant always on, feeding a Darkglass B3K!

Thanks Terocious, already have an Accountant. Great little pedal, with lots of character. Love it with a P-Bass and a pick!

Based on what I've heard over the past few days, the Trondheim seems way more versatile than what it seems. Keep us posted @A.G.E.N.T.E.!

Yup! It's on my list 🤘

Completely forgot about these EBS pedals! Thanks Jasper!

If only Jackson Audio made a bass version of the Bloom... with the correct frequencies and a drive stage instead of the Bloom option. That would be a killer pedal. One that resonates a little with what I need is the Trondheim Audio Devices SkarBassOne. Never tried one, but the drive section seems to be geared towards more metal and harder bass tones and not an all-rounder drive.

Thanks for the suggestion! 🤘 I did try one years ago, when it came out, and although the cleans were nice I was never amazed by the drive sound. I might need to revisit the pedal, as I am sure there are way more Toneprints available nowadays. From memory, the Spectra Drive is too big for what I am looking for (it's a pretty tight fit).

Hi all, I am currently building a pretty tight Nano board for some potential fly dates, and wanted to check within the community if you know of a compact Compressor + Drive pedal out there that could do the job (I have been thinking of getting something custom made at some point). The board size I am working with is of the same footprint of the Origin Effect Compact Bass, and it would be an awesome bonus to be able to control on/off each effect independently and north-facing jacks (am I asking for too much? 🤣). Thanks in advance! Byron

I also agree that the Ampeg flavour will suit your sound best, based on your description. I have both and use different basses with each, and the Super Vintage is the one I use the most with my P-Bass and drive pedals. The Black Face sounds great too, I love it equally, but you cannot go wrong with that Ampeg tone and the 8x10 cab emulation if you like drive.
