All mine are run serial, and only one at a time (plus BDDI on with a low blend). Sounds ok until the band start playing. Will be experiment more next rehearsal.

Thats me then lol.

I had the choice of buying that or the BB800. Went for the BB800 because it was cheaper and came with a bag. Not sure i made the right choice in hindsight.

Well the Spectradrive has a very nice DI (XLR) out, and IMO will make for a better choice if you dont need other effects. Not as extensive as the Zooms, but quieter and more accessible. I guess budget comes in to play as well.

Haha, i too have footswitches, but its nice to do it all with one box.

Yeah, i was talking about my HX FX. None of my amps have anything more than two gain stage channels, so very basic, but i can see there is more to it than that for the more versatile heads.

I'm with you there. I totally appreciate what i hear at home is not what i will hear at louder volumes, but ive also never had to change EQ when using effects. I could go with your idea but ive just realised i might have the mix too low on some of them, think ill up those at the next rehearsal first. I don’t like the effect to be over powering but maybe I'm diluting it a bit too much. Ive also been struggling with a Quilter head recently, and while I'm not knocking the head, I didn't have this issue with my GK head. Probably because it is brighter. I do love how versatile the Hleix is though, and i know my tone is in there.

Ive got a B1-on, B1-Four, 60-B and B3n. Also a G1-On and 50-G (i tihnk that's what its called). Not sure i really need all those, but too lazy to sell anything. The guitar stuff is my sons anyway. B1-Four is my fav and ill be using that again.

Sorry, i meant to type wouldn't use it live. When i get rid of my Helix Stomp ill be going back to the B1 for home practising.

Ive got a few Zoom boxes (had the B3, but now B3n). Ive also got a Spectradrive (my second). If i had to chose one to play live with it would be the Spectradrive. It has a really nice solid tone, and i love the EQ. (This spurred me on to get a BH800). The comp in the SD is of course very good, but i agree with DB that the drive side is quite poor. It does have a good tone print that works as a boost though. The only TP i use in that slot. Again, like DB i dont really get on with the Zoom menus. I can get through them, but just never found them to be well thought out. I do love my B1-Four, but I wouldn't use it like. I haven't touched my B3n for a couple of years.

Having the same issue. Can hardly hear the effects at rehearsals, cant hear them at all on the recordings from the rehearsals. Thought it was just me.

Its getting to a point where i genuinely do want a 435 now, and yes, if it matches the P34 the GF will never know we have new addition (plus i have an empty bass case that needs filling).

Worse if my drummer starts it, i then have to wait for the guitar to come in before i can identify the song 🤣Same goes for the drummer.....🤣

Damn, I got my 425 out this evening and i too want a P35 now. Such an easy instrument to play, and all the notes seem so even. This certainly rivals my old Lakland as far as playability and all round workhorse goes. I know there is one for sale on here, but I'd need to sell my P34 first and, well I'd miss it if i did,

Who needs 128 presets? If you do then why not get a Stomp or Helix HX FX for a lot less and get a lot more. I have a feeling Tech 21 are seeing that people will pay more and are trying it on. Still, like the SH-1, it could be a RRP, and street price could be lower.

Ive got one as well, best OD ive ever had, mainly for the two gain/volume stages. I love how you can have mild dirt, then more of the same without the tone changing. Very much like an amp. Of course all that changed when i got my Helix. now i cant see me needing any other pedal.

I sold my BB800 yesterday. I really wasn’t getting on with it. I’ve got a fender Rumble 800 head coming this week, or possibly a Genzler Magellan 800

Come to your senses.....😁

Never played a Ray 5, but i know they are quite narrow. I have a 425 and its the nicest 5 string (to play) that ive ever owned. Very easy to play.

Save time, get the BBP35 if you don’t want active. Save money, get the 735 if you want active. The 435 is a great bass by all accounts, but the fact that you are asking about the higher end seems to indicate you aren't put off by the higher cost, so........
