Nice quality recording, all of it is recorded on to tape?

Very happy with the box! It was said on Youtube that some Radial boxes can colour the sound, which is obviously a huge issue for a Reamp box. That does not seem to be the case for me, the waveforms match, and they're the same audibly as well. The minor difference visible is due to the -0.2dB-ish difference on the mixer. A bit unrelated, but the box helped me see this... the Focusrite Clarett is said to have a ridiculously low latency among audio interfaces, which now I have tested and can confirm. Even with max zoom, there's barely any latency between the original and the reamped sample points!

Not that familiar with the Tonex myself, but it has multiple outputs, inluding headphone. My usual go-to advice for ad-hoc recording: why not just hook up a Zoom / Tascam recorder? No need for mixers, interfaces, software, it's as ad-hoc as it gets.

Another lovely free SansAmp-like: https://www.tseaudio.com/software/tseBOD

My new favourites: https://klanghelm.com/contents/main.html Various compressors, reverb and saturation, but even the free ones sound just amazing (if you're into nice compressors, otherwise it's going to be just "huh, what's the diff?" ), and the paid ones absolutely don't break the bank like the big names.

If you want to simply record gigs with as little fuss as possible, maybe try one of those portable Zoom / Tascam recorders. With the ones handling 32 bit audio, you don't even need to gainstage. Figure out the best placement, where it records all instruments in a relatively balanced manner (which is going to change with every venue anyway), and you're good to go. Don't expect wonders, but I think it should be better than an iphone. If you're satisfied with how the iphone recording sounds, then don't get anything new How did it go?

Some BC-1X footage for you. I did not dial it to the extremes, I tried to keep it around where I usually have it. (I will do the isolated test for the slight but desirable tone colour as well at some point, I'm still feeling very convinced )

But I mean, my point is even when I max out the threshold (so nothing triggers according to the VU) and set compression to 1:1 (so even if something accidentally triggers, no compression should be made), I still hear a difference between ON and OFF 😎 I am getting ready with a Reamped chain-shuffling pedal-enabling video anyway right now, so you'll hear, YOU'LL ALL HEAR I tell you!!!

Huh, weird. I found it adds quite some colour to my tone (both basses), much more than I'd expect from regular compression. Gentle, but fundamental. It just becomes different, especially the lower notes change a lot, as their "clarity" increases. I attributed this to the multiband compression that clears up the tone a bit on the various bands.

Wondering if anyone actually has two ABYs, I only got the one 😅 but that's a passive Startouch one and I have some slight signal bleeding between the channels. I assume that would be a lot worse with 2 of them in the chain. Maybe with proper expensive active ones it's a bliss. Definitely want to know your results when you had the opportunity to test

I really love to A/B test stuff and have been longing for a Reamp™ box for a while. (Did you know the word "Reamp" is trademarked by Radial? THE MORE YOU KNOW! Other brands use re-amp or replay box or something like that) I especially like there's a version that works with the headphone output, no messing around is necessary with monitor outs on the back. But it's not really a pedal nor effect per se, is it? Hope it still counts! Anyway, the whole point is, I want to properly test and listen to my pedal chain, as I keep mixing it up but I sort of like the various tones in every configuration. I also plan to Reamp my signal through the Rumble and the Shure, and blend it with the line signal, pretty good initial results based on a 4 second riff! I shall be having a lot of fun with this one.

The Sterling is fixed. Literally everything was wrong with the wiring, dry cracking stuff, questionable soldering, bad earth. Interesting it all broke so suddenly, must have been the sudden change in temperature (we had some open windows on some of the coldest days due to contractors working on the house).

I checked all that I could as the nut is not perfect, but could not affect the buzz by pressin down on possibly vibrating things. Tried everything. It's with the tech now for a while 😅 He tried all the things in front of me I have tried... and said this might be a tricky one.

I have a very esoteric theory, hope someone can clarify this I got a new ABY switch recently, it's passive, and there's definitely some slight signal bleeding inbetween the channels. Recently I hooked up the Sterling through this ABY to both my amp, and my audio device. But I noticed that even if I use A for Amp and B for the device, and switch it to purely A, there's still a very faint, quiet signal being recorded by the interface on B, so some A bleeds over to B and vice versa. If that's the case, I suppose the very slight bleeding goes all directions, so maybe my pickup was getting some input signal it did not expect? I really don't think this should destroy a pickup by any means, but this is literally the only new thing I have done since recording the same bass successfully in early October, when it sounded all fine. I checked the cabling and pots and they all seem fine and sturdy, but then again I'm no expert, and I definitely don't feel confident enough to rewire/solder myself. So I asked my tech about this whole issue and will see how he gets on
