Agreed - which ties into the school of thought that says give the filter pedal the most complex input signal you can to filter i.e. pretty much at the end of the signal chain. In which case you would then put your compressor or limiter (to tame unwanted spikes) after it, if you're using one.
-
That pretty much exactly summarises my journey, too. Except I went one step further and got a set of Nux 5.8 Ghz wireless having tried the Lekato - the Nux are more on a par with the Boss in terms of both price and quality IMO.

@Jakester "I have a pedalboard setup that I'm happy with" I think you've answered your question 😊 If, however, you fancy spending a lot of time getting up to speed on a multi-fx and tweaking it so that it gets close to your dedicated pedals with your specific rig, so that you're equally happy with your Stomp well that's an entirely different matter - crack on!
-
Well if it's good enough for Mohini Dey 😁...apparently one of just two pedals on her board she has gone and bought herself. The rest were given to her. Maybe a smart move for Andras to pop a V4 in the post to her along with your manual and get her to record a demo for you? Just a thought!
-
Turns out that Mohini Dey is a bit of an FI fan!

That's another thumbs up for this new A&H range and a cumulative GAS leak into our collective consciousness! Being digital can you can tailor whatever fx you want to each channel? Unlike a lot of analogue desks where the fx choice is global and either apply it or not is then the only option, so ends up being reverb for vox and off for the rest of the band. Please talk us through the key benefits of the Double Tracker for your set up?
-
That's the one! Simon's in-depth knowledge about compression is pretty much unrivalled.
-
Out of interest, which parameters would you look to control on drive and EQ? Just checked my three fuzz pedals and none of them have expression input options. One of my two filter pedals does (but not the other).

Yamaha BB 2005 - Reduced to £1,095 ONO - *SOLD*

Hi Jeff - 18mm spacing (with individual bridge saddles). I think it was made in Taiwan. -
Seriously tasty Spector, Lee! -
He does go on (and on!) about where to put this pedal in the chain - overthinking things, lol! But finally says something useful at 2.40 when he comments "currently, as far as the actual models themselves go, I'm a lot more impressed with this than I was the MS-50G" So to answer his question, I'd maybe suggest that's why this pedal exists 😅
-
If the new '+' models have an upgraded chip set, that extra DSP is going to win through in the end. There's been very few times when older processing related hardware has held it's own against more modern kit.

Yamaha BB2005 - really loved this bass and it's the most weight-balanced of any in my herd, with zero neck dive, which makes it very comfortable to play. Lovely natural finish which shows off the layered neck through construction. In really good condition, given it's age. 34" scale 24 frets 3 band EQ, vol and pick up knobs, active / passive switch 4.5kg / 9.9lbs Pre-amp recently upgraded with a new Aguilar OBP-3 to provide full 3 band EQ and has been set up to reassign the old NE1 switch to be an active/passive switch for peace of mind during gigs. As part of having this fitted, the bass was professionally set up with new strings and fret dressed. The Yamaha stock pre-amp (which was mid-cut only) will be included with the bass. Has not been getting too much use from me this passed 12 months so I'm thinking it's time to move it on.

Does the 70CDR crack the filter and synth sounds that e.g. Helix struggles with, and does more on that score than the MS-60B? If so, definitely be worth checking out the 70CDR+ ! I've never been too fussed about bass amp / cab sims - a decent EQ set up gets me most of the way there on that score.
-
Is there any difference in the pitch they are centred on for tracking purposes? I know with the Boss OC-5 octaver and Boss SY-1 synth (but interestingly not the Boss SY-200) pedals have a bass/guitar selector switch to optimise the pedal for whichever you're playing.
-
That's a chunky price - hoping it will be closer to around £130 when the MS-60B+ lands here in the UK.

+1^^ In case you've not seen - this is quite a comprehensive thread: Which wireless? - Accessories and Misc - Basschat

Schecter Stiletto Studio-8 with Schecter hard case. 8 string bass (E, A, D, G plus octave up) recently professionally set up with new strings and is in a lovely condition - I've not seen too many of these come up for sale. The bass is very comfortable to play and delivers a warm, rich tone. Has barely been used since I acquired it and deserves to find its way to another home where it will be put through its paces! Happy to meet half way within a reasonable distance of East London or can arrange a courier within the UK (P&P extra). Specs: EMG pick-ups 34" scale 24 frets 3 band EQ, volume and pick-up selector knobs weight: 4.1kg / 9.0 lbs -
Thanks gents. Pulling that together: Pre-order price of the unit €299.00 (I see this has already been reduced from €359.00) £1 GBP = €1.1346 EUR (current for Paypal) Add taxes of 22.5% & £12 admin fee Cost of a new Mk4 can be expected to be around £335 delivered to your door in the UK.
-
So what's the cost of a new FI Mk4 going to be delivered to our door with taxes, import duties etc. added on?
-
How are you getting on with the B1-4? I suspect to @tauzero's shock, I will say that if there's one niggle I have with the Zoom B1-4, it's that it's a noisier than I would like with one of my gigging basses and I end up using a "Motown" patch with a cut at 1.6kHz and 3.2kHz plus the Zoom noise reduction sim on all of my patches as standard. But given the flexibility it offers elsewhere for its ridiculously low price point, I've been able to live with that work around. Don't know if other B1-4 users have had a similar issue? I'm hoping that the MS-60B+ with its improved chip set will be less noisy.

I don't follow. If Panda Audio are not making enough sales to be registered for VAT then they don't need to charge VAT. And even if they are registered for VAT then there is zero VAT on exports by them, but we add VAT on when it comes into the UK. Either way I don't see how it differs from a US seller really? Paging @Steve Browning who, unlike me, knows what he's talking about when it comes to VAT!
-
I guess if Panda are not VAT registered, then I could see it making a difference. Need someone above my pay grade on VAT issues to explain it better though! No different to importing kit from the USA, Japan, Korea, Indonesia or China though?
-
But wasn't that always the case on new gear? My point is that hasn't changed, we've always had to pay VAT on new kit whether from home or abroad - shouldn't be a surprise?
-
Has that changed for new bits of kit compared to what it was before? (I'm aware there is now VAT to pay on used kit).
