Probably your poor relative lol.

Must admit ive had my Markbass F1 head for as long as I can remember. Although this have a GK MB800 as well its the F1 that gets used.

Well my Aftershock has nailed the coffin shut on my Pork Loin. I cant imagine I’d give up using the Q/strip on my board, but when have any of us kept soemthing that works for too long.

Anytime, although my video experience is quite limited.

Not video, but i have about £7000 worth of camera gear and plan on buying more this year :-(

Oh dear, now the GAS has been turned up a good few notches. I feel i could use only this pedal and not miss any of the others. Ive not experienced TC’s OD/distorting boxes before, but as my needs are always modest and mainstream, i bet this could replace my whole pedal board if i had ot use just one box. In the past my BDDI or VTBass DI has worked well, but lacking a compressor. Not that I need one, but I’m loving what the Spectracomp does to my tone at the moment.

It seems to tick every box i could imagine, other than not being battery powered. Thats understandable though. My pedal board, and ipad in to this is all ill need.

I only really want this to simplify home practice. I’m sure there are cheaper alternatives to my B3n, but so far ive not found something that i feel can replace my B3n. Even though dood almost sold me on the B1on. Bass, combined with camera gear is a GAS heaven.......or hell. You should stop watcing those YT videos lol.

Good man, although in this case i think ill get it anyway. I have the Spectracomp and Q/strip because of your wonderful reviews (im sure there was one or two other things as well). Im glad you dont review camera gear :-)

ive never got in to programming these things (i have a Spectracomp and Corona mini), the software seems very complicated unless you liek that sort of thing, but beaming the ready made tone prints across to them from a phone is very easy. Takes just seconds.

I wasn't having a go, just pointing it out. At least it now has its own post. Cant wait for @dood to review this. I always buy what he reviews lol. This thing might even make it on to my pedal board. I could take off the Spectracomp and replace it with this, so wouldn't loose anything. Damn, its going to be a long wait i expect.

Ive started using my Spectracomp in front of my B3n at home (i dont use the B3n live), and i only use one basic patch on the B3n anyway. Its more the ability to mix in my ipad with my bass/guitar, and feed them both to headphones that i use the B3n for, so this new box seems ideal. I like that it also has a speaker emulator as well. By the way, the official video was in the second link i posted.

Bugger. Just when i thought i was all settled as far as pedals go, this comes along. This might be replacing my Zoom B3n. Aux in, headphones out and tone print enabled. . https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Bass/Stompboxes/SPECTRADRIVE/p/P0D9D https://www.musicradar.com/news/tc-electronic-debuts-feature-loaded-ultra-flexible-spectradrive-bass-preamp-and-line-driver-pedal

I think the mods need to gather all the compressor threads and compress them in to one mega thread...........and then lock it

Haha, sorry, i meant Aftershock (AS). i was typing very fast in case my boss caught me :-)

Yeah, you can load in all the AO settings. its just the default sounds that are different, which of course can be overwritten. I was tempted but i really like the colour of the AO.

Sorry, i meant in hindsight. The Cioks is a really nice PSU and its not going anywhere. its under the board and, well, just does its job. The 1Spot is only the wall wart one, with a 5 or 2 outlet cable. I do have it for when i need to only power one or two boxes (normally if i cant take my pedal board) but is quite a messy affair for more than a couple. The AO just arrived. considering it was sold as a return its mark free. Very surprised at how small it is, especially compared to the PL. Good times ahead :-)

Mine is due today. Cant wait. I love the idea of it, i just hope i dont get too preoccupied with it. Its funny but at the start of the year i HAD to get a Cioks DC-5 as i needed 18v (for the Cali), and also for the. Now i dont need 18v for anything. Could have stuck with the 1 Spot.

Yes, i had this issue when trying to rum my B3n off my 1Spot PSU with another pedal, either my BDDI, or just line6 receiver. I got a high pitched whine.

I like the PL, especially after doing the cap mod, but its not quite what im looking for now. I have a feeling the P&P will just be more of the same. i have no need of the fuzz side at the moment.

Ah right, good luck. just wanted to add that my comment about my PL wasn’t an open invite to buy mine, just making a one time gesture. I will be placing a for sale ad for it once I get my AS.

Cheers. im sure this must be 'the one'. With all that control i must be able to find something i can use.

My PL :-)

I know people in the USA have them, but as with most things like this we have to wait a bit longer. I just ordered an AS. Although i could wait for the WH pedal to become available, i have a feeling that even if it does sound as good as the PL (and there is no reason to think otherwise) i will find the AO a bit more versatile, and maybe even find the tone ive been looking for. Its hard to find that when you dont know what it is in the first place lol. I dont want or need fuzz at all, but as with my Zoom pedals it will be nice to try different dirt engines out without breaking the bank.

Glad it fits ;-)
