    Yeah, I don’t know how many there are… but not many!

    I’m a moderate fan overall, but I really like it when they step down the pace a bit, like this track.
  3. pantherairsoft started following Huge Pedalboard Clearout , Feedback for Dodge_Bass Ian Paterson , Chorus pedal for bass. and 3 others

    Did a pedal trade with Ian. Hassle free, great comms, very happy!

    I have used this pedal a lot. A few things to consider. 1. Firstly, as above, there is a mic trimmer inside - this should be set to 50/50 as standard and should give you unity volume. Worth checking it’s not been altered, might be worth a tweak. It’s not a volume pot though, so might not help. 2. The vast majority of chorus pedals don’t have a volume control IME and aim to give a unity volume. However, they do add higher harmonic content, which appears louder to the ears and those are accentuated massively by other incoming harmonic content - so if you run your drive or boost into, expect the chorus tones to jump in volume. On a clean bass this shouldn’t happen. 3. What are your compressor settings? Not impossible, but if you take the compressor out of the chain (or turn it off), do you experience the same volume issues? 4. Are you using a tweeter on your cab? This will add to the higher harmonic content from the chorus, and turning down the tweeter might balance it out for you. 5. What power supply are you feeding it. It can run on 12v to get more headroom, but this might also give you more output (I’ve never tired anything other than 9v). If you are on 12v consider trying it on 9v. If on 9v, consider trying it with a battery, purely to rule out that the power supply is the issue. I expect it isn’t, but it’s worth testing everything. Ive never experienced a volume jump with the unichorus that wasn’t caused by something else pushing it too hard. Of course, if there is a massive gain boost or something that is really considerable, it ‘could’ be faulty, but I think you’d know it if that was the case.

    Hi all, Rationalising the collection after far too many recent purchases. All prices include postage in the UK. Payment via bank transfer is preferred, but Paypal is fine if you cover the fees. Iron Ether Super Frantabit - Two Frantabits in one box! Arrived this week, and I wanted to love it, but I own 5 bit crushers and tonally, other stuff I have works better for me. These are super rare, and I'm wanting to pass this on to a good home, so am selling it for less than it cost to buy, ship, and pay the VAT. I'm hoping this bucks the trend of crazy scalping on boutique pedals at the moment. Grab a pedal at a fair price, but please don't do it to resell at a higher price! £400 posted. DOD Meatbox - Reissue version. Doesn't need an introduction! Boxed, immaculate. £115 posted. Mission Engineering Expressionator - Purchased from new 3 months ago. Perfect condition. Velcro on the bottom. £170 posted. COG Effects Custom Solid Snake Blender - Two effects loops, each with volume and phase control. One foot switch flip flops between loop A and B, the other engages both in parallel. Amazingly useful, combining a couple of the Boss LS-2 settings into one. Note this has the sends and returns wired in reverse of most pedals (send on the right, return on the left) - I assume to better suit the original owners pedalboard set up. Aside that, works perfectly. £70 posted (a bargain for anything made by COG!). Boss SL-20 Slicer - One of my all time fav odd-effects. This version is, IMO, easier to use than the new SL-2, be it with a larger footprint. Works great, boxed, excellent condition. Velcro on the bottom, but the original rubber feet are included and can be put pack with a dab of PVA. £125 posted. SOLD! Buy more than one and I'll give you a discount.

    The Geiger Counter is way more wild, as it’s basically a bitcrusher smashed into a super high gain distortion. The GC can do traditional SRR sounds etc, but that’s much easier on the pro. If you want classic SRR sounds, I’d go with the Frantabit. If you want more chaos and harsh industrial tones, I’d go GC. Overall, I think the GC Pro is one of my fav pedals of all time. It’s bonkers. Worth noting that the regular GC, however, does not have a mix (the pro does), and so a good portion of tones in the original will be lacking low end (as is normal for bitcrushing), with no option to blend the lows back in without a mixer pedal. With my playing this afternoon with the Super Frantabit, in degrade mode, the SSR is far more subtle than I remember it being (and more so than any other bitcrushers I own). I need to play with it more this week.

    I owned a first run of Frantabit, but later sold it on when I was in dire need of cash. Other crushers I owned and sold: an old huge Bugbrand Bug Crusher, WMD Geiger Counter and the Civilian Issue version. I also spent a lot of time with the Ottobit Jnr. It sounds fantastic, but there was an unavoidable volume spike when engaging it, which ultimately led to me not purchasing it. I currently own: Super Frantabit WMD Geiger Counter Pro Red Panda Bitmap 2 Frederick/Bugbrand Bug Crusher Dr Scientist BitQuest The most versatile is the Bitmap 2 IMO. The Geiger Counter Pro is incredible if you want to mix distortion and other sonic chaos in. The Frederick Bugcrusher is a great way to get no-frills sample rate reduction though as long as you don’t want expression control etc.

    No, not so many of them around! I’ve wanted to try one for ages and the opportunity arose. I have A LOT of bitcrushers though, so I’ve promised myself, it either blows my mind, or I sell it on after I’ve had a good play. We shall see! UPDATE - It didn't really do it for me in the way I had hoped, and so, it's up for sale!

    Yummy!

    I’d be leaving more ‘haha’ reactions here, but… Apparently ‘Grand Master’ ain’t all it’s cracked up to be!

    Rumour has it that only by reaching the final rank on Basschat can a bassist reach their true potential. It is said that until they reached rank 14, Victor Wooten couldn’t slap and Bootsy had no idea what funk was. It is said that until they reached the rank of Grand Master on Basschat, Justin Chancellor couldn’t play in 7/4 and Flea was merely a Bell Pepper. Since April 22, 2009, I have dreamt of this moment. Finally, it is my time to ascend to the ranks of bass greatness. I’ll see you on the other side… It is time to play the bass and stop spending so much time on an internet forum

    And another belter landing on the playlist straight after…

    Since the day this track came out, it’s never left regular rotation on my playlist.

    @tayste_2000 is the Subdecay Noise Theory for sale? If so, how much. It’s in the pic, but not on the list. Either way - how do you like it? I’m love Subdecay’s odd fuzz pedals… I just wish more of them had clean blends!
