Just started a little feedback diary so I can waffle at length about my thoughts as I'm using it - https://forum.mod.audio/t/first-impressions-diary/10150

Yeah exactly, thats only gonna get worse as more are added. Most of them sound pretty decent but there are difinitely a couple which sound like real stinkers (to me at least).

Finally got it! Had a quick play and can tell it's gonna be a lot of fun 🙌 Only criticism I have so far is that there is an intimidating array of options available and it's in desperate need of a rating system of some sort. Had a go on the demo of their new AIDA JCM800 and it sounds incredible, better than the equivalent on STL Tones amp hub.

PS if anyone has any recommendations for modules that work particularly well for bass please feel free to post them here. Particularly drives, compressors, modulation and delays etc. I'm looking forward to exploring but nice to have a good starting point. I believe they are working on some new delay modules, similar to what they released with the reverb packs. Interested to see what they come out with.

Finally had chance to try the Handbox with the new Baer cab and it sounds excellent. The 112 alone wasn't quite enough to keep up with the drummer or the guitarist who are using pretty substantial stacks. Ended up plugging in an Ashdown 112 which just gave it a little more headroom to cut through better. It would be interesting to compare to a BF Super Compact or similar, the Baer is impressive loads of upper mids so it cuts through great without getting too hissy like some other cabs I've played with tweeters. Gonna have to keep an eye out for a second to pair it with!

Oooo excellent keep us posted 🙌 I have pretty much 2 different levels of distortion combos, one is a really thick chewy overdrive and the other is a much more distortion with lots of boosted high mids. If i can capture the essence of them and remove £600 worth of pedals from my gig board thats a huge win!!! Still got the Capo and the end of the chain to do some final EQ tweaks should I need to etc.

Yeah it's probably just another thing to distract myself from practicing actual bass playing 😂 I'm very curious, i have a pedal that just sounds incredible for driven tones. It's just an always on preamp but if I can capture it then it would save a lot of space on my board. More importantly though it's just a good nerdy way to spend an evening 🙌

Anyone experimented with training AIDA-X models yet? Guessing if you're just modelling heads/pedals without speakers you just need a DI and a reamp box?

I have no self control 😂

Thats incredible, I'd love a 12 step to do some cool modulation stuff. I think if I'd had access to all this stuff when I didn't have a child and other responsibilities I'd have never left the house 😂

Just picked up a 2nd hand one on here so hopefully should be up and running at the weekend/early next week. Very excited to have a proper fiddle.

I love the orange Tortex triangles. They have just the right flex and feel really comfortable.

Yeah looks really cool, excited to see the demos. Sounds like its a pretty huge drain on CPU, someone said just the amp sim and a cab sim pushed it to around 80% but sure that'll get better with time. Definitely not bad for a modeller intended just desktop. Still want a Dwarf but other stuff keeps getting in the way! Maybe next month 🙏

The more I play with the WB100 the more I love it. Currently set up: Bright + Drive - off Gain - 12 o'clock Bass - 12-1 Mids - 2-4 (shift at 600hz) Treble - 12 Master - Very low at home but cranking as required Still experimenting a lot though. I've always relied on pedals upfront to provide drive and grit but with this head using them more as clean boosts and letting the head do the breakup sounds really good. It takes the boost way better than my GK Fusion S, that always made my bass sound like someone clearing their throat.

What does the Feedback swtich do on the WB-100? I've seen other versions with a voicing option for different music styles. @wateroftyne I'm sure you told me but I've totally forgotten!

Honestly though I love their compressor and have no doubts itd suit me more than my Hyper Luminal (also excellent though). This drive is probably one i will hold off on, I need to spend a bit of time playing with the Halberd, Capo and Handbox WB100 as there's a huge range i can get from them already without introducing more drive options. Still think this looks like a pretty solid drive option though, if I wasn't already a bit spoiled for choice I'd be grabbing it.

I think that was my concern with selling my EAE Longsword to try it. The longsword is excellent but there is a bit of an overlap with the Halberd. Perhaps I don't really need either 😂

This plant is a miracle, it's almost as old as me. I once forgot to water it for a whole year and it still just looked the same as when I actually made an effort to look after it 😂 It's a zombie plant!

Finally got a cab I can use to play my WB100 at home. Originally planned on a BF Supercompact or BB2 but then came across this Baer ML112. Sounds incredible so far at lower volumes but should be able to try it out next week at practice properly. I'll possibly need a 2nd for gigs and stuff but gonna give it a go and see how it holds its ground against 2 Marshall 4x12s 😬 Will report back once I've had more time to play.

Jad Freer Capo is great, I've managed to dial in a great sansamp like tone with it but it's so versatile. Great sounding drive too 🙌

Probably a purchase for next month or the one after for me! Kind of intrigued to swap out the Hyper Luminal for an alma too. The HL is fine but love the diamond type compressors, the alma sounds excellent in all the demos.

Yeah I think lesson here is try and avoid flippant comments where possible, that being said has taken every bit of feedback regarding gear suggestions onboard. For what its worth my current band is all loud and aggressive noisy punk stuff, the drummer is loud out of neccessity and not wearing ear protection is completely out of the question even if we're just at rehersals and taking it easy. That's not a reflection on the drummers compitance, it's just music that requires a little heavy handedness. Dunno if it'd help but I found my Two10 looked like the speakers were going to fly off even at reasonably low volumes until I got a Thumpinator v2 on my board. Might be worth adding a HPF to cut out some of the unwanted low noise, especially if you're pushing the bass more on the EQ.

At least with Joyo if something goes wrong you have some recourse from them or the retailer. I've always loved the sound of the Alpha Omicron but would never use it enough to justify the cost I don't think, if they did do a clone I'd be super tempted!
