Yeah from my experience with the FI I definitely agree with all of that, especially the muting part, makes you aware of tidily you're playing/need to play.
-
Urm well I've basically just watched some of the first demoes that came up on Youtube, Nathan Navarro for example. It's not so much that specific patches or sounds I heard were better, but the overall general character of the patches shown made me think that it might suit what I go for more (which is often a more simple Moog-like tone, something thick and warm often with a quick attack, like anything on Kaytranada's album '99.9%') Sometimes I find the most basic synth sounds the hardest to recreate/emulate with the FI. I'm generally very happy with my own patches but there just seems to be a little something missing from the more basic ones no matter how much I tweak the settings/EQ. Maybe it's my programming.

Hmm ok interesting. If shops weren't shut I'd just go and test out the C4 myself to see! Just for the record, I don't usually have any major tracking issues with the FI, it just doesn't seem to like certain specific movements or quick jumps at times, but I've yet to find myself unable to play certain songs or lines.

@CameronJ @Quatschmacher thanks for the responses guys. What I meant by organic is hard to explain, but based on demoes I've watched the C4 just seems to sound more alive and warm than the FI. In terms of programming, I'm very familiar with the interface but no wizard as you've probably gathered from the many questions I've asked in your FI thread over the last year or so. In terms of tracking, I only really have issues if I want to play something like, going from a root to a 5th and switching strings. you have to make sure your playing is uber clean and almost have to pause between notes, it can be tricky to move up and down strings without glitching which makes playing some fast lines a bit tricky, but not always. Whereas the C4 doesn't seem to ever glitch and I've seen people fly around the neck in ways the FI could never handle (not that I'm aiming to do much crazy playing but it's nice to have the freedom) I have seen players use both, such as Dishan Abrahams, maybe that's the answer...

I personally just use brand velcro to attach my power supply to the underneath of my pedaltrain classic JR, never comes loose at all. In terms of raising the pedalboard, I used to own a pedaltrain metro and my power supply didn't fit underneath, so I built something to raise the board a bit at the back. I just got a rectangle of wood (~1inch in thickness) the length of the board, sanded it down, painted it black, screwed some rubber feet in it and attached it underneath the board at the back using velcro (detachable if need be), this gave me enough space to attach my power supply underneath ! Ended up being almost unnoticeable! Not a pro option lol but did the job!

Janek Gwizdala posted a good demo the other day. The -1 octave sounds very similar to the OC2 imo, and maybe has a tiny bit more punch, but I'm not a huge fan of the +1 octave, that typical cold/sterile +1 sound you get from most pedals like POGs etc. As he put it, it feels more like a guitar pedal than a bass pedal.. It looks like a good pedal for sure, but I wouldn't replace my OC2 with one tbh, not when I only use it for the -1 octave anyway. EDIT: I see the Janek demo was posted here 30mins ago ^^^ check it out for sure
-
Anyone got/tried both and have any opinions? I have had a Future Impact for about 2 years and it's really amazing, but I'm starting to consider replacing it with a Source Audio C4 Synth based on it sounding a bit more ''organic'' to my ears and the tracking seeming a bit better.

How long do Fender typically keep models in production?
I'm really interested in getting hold of a ultra jazz bass V in mocha burst in the next year or so but not sure if they'll still be manufacturing them.- Show previous comments 5 more

@ead unfortunate but true. I remember my mate had a MIM jazz when we were younger and it was a great bass, but I got one recently and didn't like it at all. Ended up trading it.

I had MIM Fender Jazz 5-string which I wasn't getting on with, so I traded it for an ATK305 and it's now my go-to bass at the moment for a lot of things. Super versatile, the active EQ is really quite powerful!
-
I do use both, I have a Tone hammer at the end of my signal chain and I make use of the onboard EQ per patch, but I'm constantly tweaking and adjusting to balance things
-
Interesting idea, I'll try that out. Sometimes the issue I find is that a patch will sound fine when comparing with my clean tone etc when playing solo. then if playing with others/along to any music then the levels are clearly not the same, the patch is too boomy/thin or isn't cutting through etc.
-
Any advice on getting patches the same volume? Constantly having to hook up the pedal to adjust patches volume/EQ because they're not balanced in volume or bass etc Also the volume control on the pedal is painfully sensitive, and the knobs have almost 0 resistance... You move it 1mm and the volume boost/drop is pretty big... Wish the dials had a bit more resistance like say, the Tone Hammer controls.
-
I've only owned it since 2016 but didn't know how old it was until now. The dry output doesn't work so I need to get that fixed, but tbh I mostly only use it for the -1 octave anyway!
-
I've had my MM Stingray for 10 years now... The old sunburst finish was covered in dings and dents, so my friend and I stripped it down! Pretty happy with the results!!
-
To my OC2! 😯 How old is yours? https://serial-number-decoder.co.uk/boss/boss.htm
-
Yeah I do remember him mentioning using Ableton live (and in this clip) so yeah could be plug ins, although I know he has a fairly comprehensive board which he runs guitar/bass through. Could be either here, not sure.
-
On the guitar at the start yeah, but I don't think so for the bass part at 1:16.
-
That's what I thought when I first heard it, but then I kept hearing some kind move 'movement' of the notes and couldn't help wondering if there was some kind of vibrato/chorus added as well
-
MXR Analog Chorus, ProCo Rat 2 (SOLD)
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Effects For Sale
bump! open to reasonable offers -
At 1:16 the bass comes in, but for some reason I cannot place my fingers on the effects being used. There are no shots/descriptions of gear used. Sounds like some kind of vibrato/pitch shift but I'm really not sure, if anyone has any ideas let me know!
-
ProCo Rat 2 - SOLD Classic distortion pedal MXR Analog Chorus - SOLD High and Low filters are very useful for having total control over how much modulation is added to your treble/bass.
-
But if you're just looking for black/plain coloured flats, I'm fairly sure La Bella Deep Talking Flats have black silk wrapping on them
-
Haha that thread... I ended up ignoring replies after a while, seem to remember getting some stick from people for 'caring too much' or whatever. Can't help liking things a certain way! 🤷♂️ I don't mind the sight of silks, I just hate when they're badly misaligned, can deal with a few mm or whatever but sometimes you get one, (Often the E string) that doesn't line up and it bugs me haha. Last time I got my bass setup they put some flats on and they were all aligned perfectly, but people on here seem to think it's impossible to do every time...

Always annoying that at least one section of the velcro that comes with Pedaltrain boards has loads of creases that never come out..
