I'm of an apparently rare disposition in finding Dylan's All Along the Watchtower to be far better than Jimi's, mainly on account of the interplay between Bob's lyrics, simple arrangement and less-than-perfect vocals. Having said that, I realise I may well be a 'covers purist' anyway, in as far as believing an original track is, by definition, 'better' (at least in terms of being true to its essence).

Couldn't agree more.

Quite.

This is really helpful. Thanks Al. Tobie

Cheers for this. I'm looking for a pedalboard-friendly option for live stuff really, so think I'm going to see how I get on with an OC-2. I've got a B1on, so will faff about with that a bit at home.

Really sad news and a true loss for the UK bass scene.

You're right - those octaves are taxing, but I suppose I've found that my satisfaction in playing covers comes from trying to emulate the nuances of the original. I try and avoid 'interpreting' unless it's essential, for whatever reason. Not perhaps the most pragmatic approach to covers material, but it irritates me doing otherwise. Thanks for the heads up on the Arturia too - I'll check it out.

You're right - the Panda Audio looks promising, but is a bit spendy(!) and it's unclear from that demo what it can actually do.

Thanks Al. I find this pretty hard to believe - There's a whole host of esoteric/unusable synth sounds available in pedal form. Why isn't this base (pun intended), which has obvious applications, covered? Perplexing!

Looking for these synth sounds in a pedal. Can get in the ball park with drives and filters, but obviously whiffs of drives and filters! Please help! Tobie
