Can I ask how were those fx? I’m far more interested in the modelled rig/box of tone but some usable fx here and there is always a nice addition

Have you tried running the spark into the Beta and by having both, having 3 awesome sounds?

Finally I’m excited about something. XLR out is the win for me over other similar units

I’m a big fan of the mud 😅

Does the following mean I can load fancy amp profiles on this thing? *52 amp models created with MNRS technology + 10 GNR slots to store simulation files downloaded from the cloud *25 cab sim models + 10 GIR slots to store simulation files downloaded from the cloud or third-party IR files

Seems this slipped under the radar https://www.mooeraudio.com/products/1164587355420454912.html I love the idea of this product, I’d love to carry around essentially an fx brain that I can hook up to different things in different scenarios but the P1 seemed to have a fixed fx chain (Ala 90s multis) and there never seems to be any octavers available.

I only tried my jive in a loud band situation so haven’t had time to really evaluate. Oddly really didn’t like the spark but still love the mojomojo. When I get chance to meet up with a friend I’ll finally get the Tone Factor Cream Pie back just debating having a W&C Phat Phuk (for the 3rd time) to try it against 😅

Bought a Hofner Violin bass off Ash, great guy to deal with, very communicative and understanding when I was running late.

For an all in one you might want to give the Aguilar Tonehammer a look. Just don’t think of it as a 2 channel preamp, it’s a preamp with 2 different sounds that you switch with a footswitch. Therefore the hugely different volumes, tone, eq centres etc don’t bother you so much you just like the option. Also it’ll run on batteries and phantom

Don’t know if this recognition is a good thing

Shameless plug Just use the connections on the back, set the gain accordingly

Try backing the volume off one of the pickups ever so slightly, this has been my go to Ric tone for years as they essentially shunt each other. Might help with the hum, but I’ve never had that problem with fuzz’s and the ric. Else a softly gated fuzz might help or switch to a muff emulation in something like a Zoom MS60B or Helix

So my understanding with the Spark, Mojomojo and Dark Matter is they are all the same pedal with different ranges on the gain knob. Given my experience I GREATLY prefer the mojomojo to the Spark. But essentially it’s something like if the spark is at 3 o clock, the mojo is at 12 o clock and the dark matter is at 9 o clock. Tonally the Mojo had more colour/warmth for me, I found the Spark quite flat. The mojo around 9/10 o clock was just golden for me. Capo was the best I had in this area, else I’ll soon be getting an old Tone Factor Cream Pie back which was my fav many many years ago but what I’ve found is many many years ago I was dumber. Another thing I’ve found that works quite well is GE based fuzz pedals with the gain all the way off, this gives me a far more vintage and wooly sound than all the overdrive pedals I’ve tried in the past. Did you know the MXR Distortion + is a GE based version of the Dod 250 🤷‍♂️, I have an old Tone Factor Huckleberry for this which is a hybrid and sounds great. Muffs don’t work (but they’re also not GE based) I also have a Jive which I’ve not been able to try yet. The online demos the RC boost sounds better to me than the BB Boost. Everything except the Capo I really felt the pedal in the tone, whereas the Capo elevated it. Generally though I’m trying to avoid anything with eq, it’s too heavy on the sound, coloured boosts I like but seem to subtle for me to keep and I just go round this endless cycle that ends with me going bass into a nice DI (of which I also have too many) Then finally, almost all my basses have flats on them and have for years, this coincides with my slow tapering interest in pedals because basically flats make pedals suck. All that high end content that makes things really sound different disappears.

Unused paint brush. Also… isn’t it a shame the Stanley Clarke model doesn’t have a tuner.
