Thanks for the input! I've had to keep hold of my C4 and OC-5 as I don't think it quite covers what they do yet - so I'm currently running those with a powerpack and using the Anagrams stock PSU. I just haven't got faith in it but nervous about going all battery for something so high powered when playing 2 hours+. How did you find the NAM? I'm tempted to do this with my Tone Hammer but seems a bit above my technical abilities...

Long time lurker - first time poster after buying a shiny new Anagram earlier this week! Loving it so far, but the drives sounded a bit "dull" through my amp, fine through IEMS (I use backline and FOH) - any pointers for this? Also, the PSU seems a bit flimsy, especially for the cost... anyone had any joy powering with a power bank? There's some stuff on talkbass but nothing I can see that mentions real world use...

I'm painfully stuck between one of these (or the other Bassrigs but seem to be leaning towards the fifteen with all the comments of how well it sits in the mix) and an Anagram - I know they're two totally different bits of kit, but I like shiny new stuff! I was sold on the Anagram but everyone seems to mention the "feel" element of the Origin Effects stuff and that's huge to me, I can't imagine anything digital replicating that. My two concerns though - firstly, I spend half of my set using either a solo'd octave or C4 with some gnarly synth patches and I'm concerned the cab sim will cause issues with these, but I'd be reluctant to turn it off if it adds to the feel element.. Second, Headphone practice and C4 patch creation are a big thing for me and I'd need FOH sound available for headphone use when making C4 patches - anyone doing anything similar? I know this box is ticked off easily with the Anagram.. Sorry for the lengthy post, especially on an appreciation thread! Any input would be massively helpful though as hoping to order next week...

A Angled headphone adapter is an excellent idea!

Love this board! How do you find the octabvbre and Fifteen play together? I've always found cab sims take away everything I love from my Octave pedals...

Update: Mine has come off my board and may end up on the F/S section (Little one got hold of the registration card and decided it'd look better creased and torn so can't send it back under 30 days anymore)... Honestly a great sounding pedal and I'd recommend to anyone after an amp sim. My only issue is my band runs everything through an RCF Evox 12 system with no backline. The details of the amp sims are completely lost on it as it's not the best PA; so I may as well stick with my old school Tone Hammer V1

Software is awful - packaging says it comes with ToneX SE but it actually comes with ToneX CS which is an inferior product and limits what can be downloaded from Tonenet. The standard ToneX one comes with ToneX SE. I'd have sent it back for this alone if my youngest hadn't damaged the packaging. Some of the captures are great - for what I do the clean mix is a godsend as I'm not a fan of Cab IRs without a blend. There's a night and day feel difference between this and standard modellers though. I saw great reviews about the SVT models but it's the Aguilar and GK Fusion models that have impressed me. Some of the stompbox drive options are good too. Hope this helps... any more info needed let me know!

Unfortunately I lost my battle with GAS and mr DPD delivered the ToneX one bass edition on Saturday... Set up was every bit as convoluted as people say and I'm still finding my way around the software now but there are some great things in there!

Excellent review... they've certainly done well with the OC-5. I definitely remember there being a difference in the immediacy of my Octabvre Mini and the OC-5 (I was really rooting for the OC-5 aswell). Based on your review I may pick one up and give it another go...

Sure the bass pack is £99 though - so if not an existing user the bass edition is definitely better value

Can't bring myself to buy the new ToneX one Bass as don't really need it but it's actually painful how interested I am in them... anyone pulled the trigger yet?

Mind if I ask what your experience has been with the Twonotes opus? I'm not even sure if I need cab emulation but it's something I keep being drawn to...

Well spotted! It was the Hotone Patch Kommander (post corrected). It was an excellent bit of kit, really intuitive to use and really really handy when trying to prevent tap dancing. Couple of niggles that lead to it getting moved on: Jacks were too close to each other (too close to make angled cables easy but straight cables too space consuming) You couldn't amend pedal order - if more than one switch engaged it stacked from 1-4, no option for parallel or changing stack order Other than that though, well built and easy to use analogue option!

While these lists are massively impressive - I'm just as impressed that you've all managed to remember them in alphabetical order! Here's mine - I've starred stuff currently still owned and tallied stuff I've bought multiple times! It's nowhere near as organised as alot of these lists, or as extensive - but there's some stuff on there I'm really sad to have moved on. 3Leaf Audio Octabvre Mini Aguilar AG Preamp Aguilar Tonehammer Preamp* Ampeg Optocomp Ampeg SGT-DI Ashdown James Lomenzo hyperdrive Ashdown Bass tuner Aphex Bass Exciter Boss OC-2 Octave Boss OC-3 Octave Boss OC-5 Octave Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion Boss LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer Celebrity Pedals Taylor Shift* Cog T16 (II) Darkglass Alpha Omicron Demonfx Call76 compressor Digitech Whammy IV DopeFX Earth Dweller Dirty Haggard Audio Broken Dunlop Crybaby Wah EHX Bassballs EHX Bass Soul Food EHX Bass Big Muff EXH Double Muff EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff EHX Hot Wax (II) EHX Green Russian Big Muff (II) EHX Sovtek Deluxe (II) Hotone Ampero II Stomp Hotone Patch Kommander Hotone Soul Press II IK Multimedia ToneX one Jam Bass Rattler Mk2 * Jam Dynassor Joyo Monomyth Joyo Orthoros* Joyo Tidal Wave Joyo Ultimate Drive* JPTRFX Jive (II) Korg Pitchblack Custom* Laney Digbeth Preamp Line 6 HX Stomp (II) Line 6 HX One* Mark Bass Vintage Preamp Malekko Diabolic Marshall Jackhammer Mooer Fog Bass Fuzz MXR M88 Octave MXR Bass Envelope Filter NUX MLD Bass Preamp Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor Source Audio Aftershock (III) Source Audio C4 * Source Audio Bass OFD Source Audio Ultrawave Bass* (II) Source Audio Bass Zio SushiboxFX Spaceheater* TC Electronic Spectracomp (II) TC Electronic Sub 'n' up TC Electronic Sub 'n' up mini TC Electronic Corona mini TC Electronic Mojomojo TC Electronic Spark Mini booster Tech21 Sansamp bass driver Tech21 Sansamp VTDI Two Notes Le Bass (II) Way Huge Pork & Pickle (III) XVive Bass Squeezer Zoom 506II Bass Zoom MS60B (II) Zvex Mastotron (II)
