@mcnach Seriously I don’t need egging on (!) and keep looking at the Stingray specials from their new line.
I remember trying out their range At the London Bass Guitar show a few years ago and was underwhelmed massively having almost been a dead very for a Caprice and Cutlass - fast forward now - and it’s hard, very hard to resist.
Anout the only thing stopping me (money aside which is a big stumbling block!) is being able to just about approximately get the ‘Ray’ sound with what I have and preamps etc.
But please keep poking the bear!!
Garageband is very underrated- great for playing along with, and of course free.
I used the iRigHD as well but just recently picked up the Focusrite iTrack One Pre - with this little fella it’s even better as you get a better sound before the preamp distorts
In the studio effects part the vintage tube effect does a pretty good job for a nice tone to play along with
They come with a multi function plug with different country adapters, so you can slide the ones on and off you need - that’s pretty good and universal.
As for a power socket near where you play - they can’t quite think of everything
The Tech21 ‘Signature’ pedals are basically a box to achieve that person’s sound, but each of them do so much more.
Incredibly well made, flexible and great sounding machines
Not sure what’s worse here, his playing or the fact that they canned the demo i did for them in favour of this, saying this was better.............
I blame the cheap guitar as normally I sound excellent the more expensive the kit I use
Well is it because I believe what they say and hear a perceived difference or is there an actual difference when I play through the Barefaced One10 range vs the Supertwin?
When I listen to a bass through a Tube amp vs a class D one with tube emulation type drive sounds be it analogue or digital again is the weight of opinion for one vs the other swaying my view.
Probably to a degree, but whatever it is I’ll prefer one to the other and go with what I like
