Practicing my galloping basslines 😁 -
Shall I move this to effects? -
You could get about six Sweepers in the space one of the Russians takes up. Maybe I should try it!! I keep thinking about making a mini board as an excuse to buy one 😂

Same, I had one (actually the USA version) and a mini Q tron. I think I didn't use them properly at the time, relying on them to make cool noises for me without appreciating how to ‘play’ the pedal, so I’ve come back to both and appreciate them anew. I didn't know about the adjustment either until I saw a mod where someone added external pots to adjust in the fly (a cool feature of the little Mooer Sweeper as mentioned by @Jean-Luc Pickguard). Judicious use and experimentation can yield results way beyond the factory settings, which I tend to find lean too much towards the top end and the bass end of the filter can slam open and whistle in response to a bass input)

Thanks! It’s a really flexible pedal actually, it responds very differently to dynamics - even more so than a conventional filter I think because the actual envelope control is only half the story; the distortion (more like a croak) adds another element which responds dynamically. Generally I like to use it palm muted and open up for certain notes or accents. I use it in one song where it goes under a keyboard and playing long notes which sound like a fretless!

I just found a pretty rare version of the Bassballs - this came directly after the (very limited) run of green ones - it's the same tall box as the green one but has the circular graphic in blue, and the big chunky switch before they changed it for a smaller one (then reduced the height of the box). It has a more conventional footswitch. After tinkering with it last night (adjusting the two filter sweeps by opening up the case) I have found it's sweet spot. It sounds quite different to the other; slightly more raspy and less punch, so like the filters are moving more slowly. Sounds great for synthy lines. I don't think it'll fit on my pedalboard though, which only has four pedals on it but they're all huge!

Sounds amazing by the way, I had the pleasure of trying it a while back. -
Micro Pedal Clearout - bargain entry level fun!

I just bought one of these tuners (wish I’d bought yours instead!) so I thought I’d just mention that they’re great. It was the only size that would fit on my pedalboard so I thought I’d give it a try. I was fully expecting to send it back but it’s super fast and stable. Much prefer it to my TU-2. Bargain for the price! -
The Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST200 takes batts and doesn’t drain when not engaged, even with a cable inserted. Maybe worth a look. Wish more pedals did that. -

Are short scale basses really as bad as they say?
ped replied to Cheeto726's topic in General Discussion
They often get pigeon holed as 'dead' and 'muddy' or lacking sustain, clarity - not always detrimentally. However I have found that my Mustang with rounds sounds super 'alive', piano-like, with tremendous clarity and punch. I sold a Celinder J-Update because of how much I like mine. They're cool. I think the neck on mine is fantastic, and although the lighter weight is welcome on my (perfectly fine) left shoulder, my right shoulder does have some nerve damage and I think the smaller body and hand position is more comfortable. -
I wish Roland would do away with the Katana moniker, even Boss is a dilution IMO. Don’t really understand why they do that. Amp looks great though, possibly a tuner will be added with a firmware update?

Cheers they’re Elixir 45-105 steels. Bass is in drop D tuning. Should point out that it’s not a standard mustang though (full story here if you haven’t seen it! https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/471651-modding-a-66-mustang-really-really/page/5/ -

Thanks! I'm dragging at the start but I'll spend longer on it at the weekend and do a better one.
