It's a shame the Unibass doesn't sound natural (and I hear it cannot be powered off a standard power supply - this makes it pretty much a no-go), but again it is relatively old. The micro POG, on the other hand, seems to be more recent. I might be completely wrong here, though. The Foxrox sounds like it could be good - a quick skim didn't show up any bass examples; I'll carry on looking, even though the price tag puts it [i]way[/i] out of my reach. Any POG owners here who use it in a similar way and are able to comment? I hear mixed reviews...some that it is excellent and tracks really well, others that it tracks so-so and sounds fake.[/quote] There are bass examples of the Octron in the Talkbass Effects Wiki

Pog's don't sound natural, best bet is something with Eventide written on it. The Foxrox octron is not a clean octave up nor is the Unibass but they do sound pretty guitar like. Other option is play higher and get an octave down which is much easier to get natural sounding.

When you want to use the wah, do you have to press the switch to activate it on the M9 first before moving your foot to the expression pedal? Or is there some way that it self-activates when the expression pedal has movement and switches off after it's still or something like that (like the 105q)?[/quote] You could potentially have the mix low in the heel position so that when u nmove it forward it increases the mix but this will be linear, however you would want to have almost all those wah's mix anyway non are ideal for bass without the blend. Cheers

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='918160' date='Aug 7 2010, 05:24 PM']thanks, thought that might have been a botty burp! but I guess the key point is if you're going to use a volume pedal for expression, make sure you know whether the frequency/impedance/whatever of your volume pedal matches the requirements of the effect pedal to be expressed upon.[/quote] Yep and also know whether it's cv or not as then you need a completely different expression pedal.

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='918004' date='Aug 7 2010, 02:38 PM']Actually I believe this isn't necessarily so; but I am no expert. However I am awaiting a custom ring mod build, for which i am told I will be able to use one channel of my high gain 250k stereo EB volume pedal, with a Y-cable, for expression control. I think I was told by both Mario at Robot Factory and by Adam at CoPilotFX that it all depends what the frequency range is of the pedal to be expressed upon. Someone please correct me if I'm talking out of my bottom. ta[/quote] You are wrong, I'm not saying 250k won't work with other pedals but for the M9/M13 you need the 25k EB or the boss ones that work at 10k

[quote name='0175westwood29' post='917352' date='Aug 6 2010, 08:01 PM']well here goes, from the vids ive seen you can only save one sound per an effect at a time, compared to 4 on my fm4 and 3 on the dl4, also i would only use it for the fm and dl functions, so i know that those two pedals together plus my distortions and tuner take up more room but i just feel that its better for me. does that make sense? andy[/quote] You are mistaken on the M9 you can have 6 sounds saved with a further 5 more scenes each with another 6 fx saved. The m9 can do 3 fx at a time with the 6 to choose from and use the looper all at the same time. The dl4 and fm4 can do 2 sounds at the same time (between the 2 pedals) with 7 sounds to choose from (4 on the fm4 and 3 on the dl4) and you can only use the looper with a basic echo. I'm not trying to force the m9 down your throat but its so much better than the xx4 range and for about the same as 2 new xx4 pedals. As for the boss it's very good but I've never got on with anything that was a dedicated looper, they tend to lack loop manipulation functions. The smmh is a great example of much you can mess with a loop, pitch and tempo shifting all with analog quirk and glitchyness. Hope this helps Oh and for those that don't know looperlative are doing a pedal that will be dl4 sized, it look pretty feature heavy.

[quote name='0175westwood29' post='917110' date='Aug 6 2010, 04:24 PM']anyone here got a dl4? how are they on bass just got the fm4 and that works well. also what people views on the boss loop station? andy[/quote] DL4 is fine with bass but again the M9 is a much better purchase as it would replace the FM4 and DL4 and offer more flexability Also the DL4 doesn't have undo which really, is a must unless you are the bass playing terminator known as Dood

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' post='917032' date='Aug 6 2010, 02:52 PM']Hi Dood, How are you getting on with this? -- I too am one the edge of "going loopy" Does the jamman do half-speed & backwards like the M/13 - M/9? I think I would use those & have been considering the M/13 but like you I already have most of the line6 effects in other stuff programmed the way I like it. Does anyone know what other loopers do half-speed & reverse? Brendan[/quote] DL4 and SMMH to a degree

Needs to be the 25k version to work Cheers

Before you buy any more of the 4 series pedals check the M9 and M13 out
