    @Al Krow How does your recent Zoom/BossLS2 rat patch compare to the HX version running a parallel signal path with the rat type drive? I ask as I’m considering going back to a Stomp for iem/direct to desk duties. You may have seen I’ve all my pedals currently up for sale but not ruling out a low cost zoom as a buddy is selling one and has sung its praises frequently as being good enough for live. My earlier query on the specific zoom thread was re-directed to here🙄 You’re in the unique position to have tried both A/B and I know you’ve used the zoom live. If this is the wrong thread I’m happy to be directed to a more suitable one.

    Ahh I didn’t realise it was a Zoom/Boss LS2 thread😀

    How does it stack up against the hxfx with the rat type drive and parallel signal path? I’d have thought that would get a pretty solid tone and an all in one gigging solution?

    You should link them.

    Sounds like a great gig. Was it a post 6 Nations gig? We do those every year and they’re good fun ( I’m on holiday this weekend so obviously not gigging but looking forward to the rest of the 6N especially when Scotland have home games!

    @mcnach Seen a mooer radar become available locally on the fb group. Still recommend it? I’m downsizing my pedal collection/board but this mooer might mean I can keep two or three pedals in operation and have a decent cab sim for foh on that particular gig and be ’more’ IEM ready for little additional outlay.

    You never got the screen sorted on EZDrunmer. It should be able to do full screen no problem. Plus the drop and drag feature really makes life easy. Which daw did you eventually settle on?

    I’ll second what others have said. It’s a baptism of fire in many respects but you always have the four familiar strings to hand. I found by focusing on my originals bands material initially I could work them out to best incorporate the low b but I did some of those tunes in drop d so that helped as I kinda needed to go to the low D for about 4 tunes. The trick as others have said is ditch the 4 string and if you can work out a bunch of familiar songs and their patterns off the root notes on the b string. This way the patterns remain familiar it’s just the hand position/starting fret is different. I think it’ll all ‘click’ a little easier this way. It worked for me! As an aside I was limited by location for this one and was in discussion with the seller. I love that it’s battered but wanted to play it just to make sure the neck was good. First dibs though right😀

    You should try model j’s they have some of that p bass type mid range. Sound cracking in a jazz.

    Bump I’m away for a week so to everyone who’s shown interest thanks but I’ll not be able to post until Friday 14th at the earliest. I’ll update once I return and if folk are still keen we’ll get something sorted. Thanks

    Boss SY-1

    krispn replied to Woodinblack's topic in Effects

    I’ve alluded to this in other threads but the idea of a synth bass is far more alluring than actually employing it on a gig. We cover some tunes where a synth ‘could’ work but the reality is that adapting a bass line to work in the context the your band is often preferable to getting a dialled in ‘tone’. That’s certainly what’s worked for me in my bands, confounded when there’s been a keys player too which there has been in one of my main gigging ventures. Sometimes groove, feel and the 1 are the priority. No disrespect to established synth users. I just couldn’t make it fit in my current gigs and accepted this many moons ago🙂

    I'm shifting an EBS valve drive and I think it ups the internal voltage with some trickery - it certainly sounds proper valve-like hitting the front end of my solid state amp. It's actually a really good combination!

    I think I saw this for sale on FB and was keen. Gimme a nudge if it doesn't work out

    I think that’s all of it 😀 I may end up keeping the Tidal Wave as it really does sound great and it’s a great always on pedal with the overdrive pushed. Does a great rock tone and dialing up the mids and treble along with using a plectrum is just one of the great tones it does. If it gets a bit bright or tippy there’s a global ‘passive’ style tone control to tame it. Cracking!

    Tell you what that is a magnificent tolex on those cabs!

    I run a EBS Valve Drive in front of my solid state amp and it does a magnificent job of making it sound right valve-y. The VD (fnarrp) can be voiced as more modern or vintage via the footswitch so you can go full on jack Bruce or keep it more in check on the modern setting. I've used it as an 'always on' and then complimented it with another drive (Aguilar THDI) basically using the two gain stages very effectively. You can get a proper big drive sound this way which doesn't have to be heavy metal crushing.

    I’ll keep it for now but if I do downsize I’ll give you a shout 👍🏽

    You'll notice a strip of velcro on the Cali where I had the HPF/LPF sitting on it to save space on my previous smaller pedal board. Easily removed!
