[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505653610' post='3373354'] So MXR is band pass, whereas SA Manta, Aggie FT (and 3 Leaf Proton) are all all low pass? Or am I simplifying things too much here?! [/quote] As a general rule assume that, if bass players use it, it's running in low pass. The MXR is a fairly uncommon exception to that rule. Some are switchable low/band pass which gives you the choice.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505649298' post='3373312'] Sounds like a perfect time to have a compressor (or limiter) in the chain (probably after the filter pedal) then to protect the cabs against volume spikes? Was this just an issue on the MXR or have you found it on other filters as well? I'm guessing probably not an issue on the more "polite" Aggie FT [/quote] It can be a problem on pretty much any analogue filter pedal to be honest. My Fwonkbeta can put out huge peaks, especially with the "Fwonk" knob turned up. I've just found the Filter Twin to be one of the most well behaved filters I've come across in this regard. A compressor will definitely help.

I should add that the Filter Twin compared to the MXR could be seen as more "polite" sounding. On the MXR you can definitely get more of a punch/snap which at certain settings can really pound your speakers with its massive volume spikes. Filter Twin - warmer, smoother MXR - brighter, peakier

Do it Peter, FXPedalRental have one in stock... [quote name='foxyFuze' timestamp='1505572161' post='3372938'] Bloody hell, something else I need to buy! Does it actually track well down to the low E?? [/quote] It seems to track a low E, but I can't reeeeally tell at that pitch as my headphones are just producing an I distinct rumble. Anything but the meatiest of PAs would struggle to produce that properly. I wish your cabs good luck! Starts to glitch out on sustained notes at that pitch which is to be expected but it'll take the low E for staccato notes. Even when it glitches it seems to do so in a fairly smooth way which doesn't sound as harsh as some other octavers. It may well be the best tracking analog octave pedal in my arsenal - and I have about 5 of them at the moment!

Brilliant.

[quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1505545919' post='3372667'] The manta has no threshold so was difficult to dial in with different basses and just never sounded as fat as I'd like. [/quote] True, the lack of threshold could be an issue for certain basses. I only tend to use it with one of mine so I hadn't actually noticed the lack of threshold control until you said it! And I do agree to an extent re: fatness. My analog filters are much fatter but the Manta does nice things to the highs and mids which make it react in a lovely way with my Bass Chorus Deluxe running after it in crossover mode.

Either that or your luthier is better than photoshop

Actually, running the MXR before the T16 and turning the clean blend up on the T16 would give you some of the nice filter quack in the top and midrange whilst retaining all the lows the T16 would naturally put out. Could be a nice tone to be had there and would certainly help the T16 cut through a mix better.

It almost looks photoshopped! Nice work! Edit: I've just scrolled up to compare and it actually looks better than the photoshop mockups.

Good on you. Pedal GAS is a slippery slope...

No idea, I still haven't inquired.

The current setup. Now powered by a single Strymon Ojai. This little powerhouse is amazing. It's allowed me to really streamline the underside of my board. Smooth Hound is on its own isolated line. The others are split between two daisy chains off a couple of separate Ojai outlets. I have 2 power outlets spare to isolate any misbehaving pedals I may acquire in future.

[quote name='Quatschmacher' timestamp='1505498345' post='3372440'] Wouldn't that function the same as the LS2 in the mode "A+B mix" with just one of the loops in use as it will automatically blend it with the clean signal if nothing is added to the second loop? [/quote] I think so, yes. I just wanted a bit more simplicity so got this custom made.

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1505494128' post='3372400'] Note to self!! Get an LS2 they seem so handy [/quote] I just got Bright Onion Pedals to build me a a small mixer pedal with an always on channel 1 and a Switchable channel 2 with volume knob. Works differently to the LS2 since that technically has whole loops rather than single channels. Depends on your pedalboard layout which style would work best for you.
