Check the Amos Heller demo on you tube. He gets great tones and shows off the versatility of the unit.

I put a led strip under mine too! It’s usb powered from the fender power brick. Classy!

Basswitch is a really clean pre and two bands of semi para mids two fx loops, a boost, two inputs for two bass or you can A/B the preamp on/off transformer in the DI and just a wonderful clean sound. The lows are set low but it’s never muddy or undefined. I’ve had one for about 10yrs and wouldn’t sell it even though it’s not on my board just now it’s a keeper for me! I think there was one for sale on the forum quite recently.

We scope and trawl and hunt and scavenge yet when we take stock on the gig and listen… our needs are 98% met. Buy less enjoy more. If it’s not working turn it off and enjoy not using it. If it works enjoy it for what it does. If it’s not quite right make the call and step on or don’t step on. be the antithesis of a forum.

My mate has a 5 string passive USA model which he pipped me at the post on in a local gumtree sale. I keep wanting to offer to buy it off him as it was only £650

I have one of these and it’s a cracking pedal. It’s a low gain unit which is very tweakanke to get it dialled in to suit. I’ve used a spark booster and would place the BetaV as the love child of the of the original Beta, the Spark booster and EHX bass soul food.

I wonder if many folks are now gonna consider the HX Stomp as an alternative to the Noble. It’s great to see the ongoing support and updates having added value for long time users of the HX units.

@Paddy777 what he said 😀

Snap 😀

Ian Alinson *spelling has a video on you tube via Scott’s bass lesson where here programs several synth sounds with pedals but it’s in conjunction with his stomp. Out and about now but it’s a good starting point

Still think JHS packrat is worth a look £200 ish and all the rats https://www.talkbass.com/threads/jhs-packrat.1536817/

I’d like to try both comps. I’d imagine either would be great with bass.

I’m taking my pedalboard to the shop next week to try it again. I’m 60% convinced and I know the pedals I have will easily accommodate the rascal. The strap test and how it feels with that bridge will help decide. I like everything about it though. Different enough but familiar at the same time.

1176 or LA2A

Finally played one of these rascals today. Initially the guy plugged me into a Terror Bass head and 112 cab. I’ve never used one but know that they’re quite dark and the eq didn’t do much. Told the guy it sounded dark but felt it might be the amp and he found a Rumble 25w which sounded way better. Anyway the bass felt good and sounded good. It didn’t come with an info card so I’ve still no idea of the string spacing but it was fun to play. The pick ups sounded great and reacted well to boosting some mids and playing with the tone control. Each position had its value but both on seemed to be my immediate preference. There’s versatility in this wee bass and I might go back with my pedal board next week and give it another play. I really want to try it while wearing a strap - the position of the bridge while closer than I prefer doesn’t require a massive adjustment. Overall a nice bass and worth the money I’d say.

Must give them a look.
