Any users of this DK pedal on here ?

Update .. I was too hasty !! I tried the BC-1X with a new BB-1X set on low drive and it’s a very nice pairing . Playing with a pick and PBass they work well together with the BC-1X adding a little more depth to the picked note and the BB-1X adds a tiny bit of grit and the EQ with added bass fills the pick tone out nicely

Yes it was great but I don’t think I’m going to change my Opto Comp Both good pedals for what I need

That’s why I check out any venue we plan to gig and conditions ( stated on the bands FB pages states a 5m x 4m playing area for the band ! I would have said no to that venue !!

In the U.K. .. rip box open the moment courier has dropped it off ! Never had any issue with any guitar or bass or amp for that matter

I’m using a compressor now to tweek my sound Am I correct in thinking pick playing would be better with a slow release ? Fingerstyle fast release ? Using Boss BC-1X do attack is fixed

Looks good enough and imagine the 1400w is peak power not RMS but still should be ample For mixers cheap end look at Behringer as they are good value Get as many channels as you can Minimum 8ch and ideally one with built in FX

Personally for the majority of U.K. pub gigs no one will care if you go Vox only into the PA or very costly rig and whole band is in it. For £750 you could get a reasonable rig but try and stick to 12” tops in the budget brands Alto etc or aim for Yamaha or similar quality secondhand Or go very old school and heavy old passive Peavey cabs, power amp and mixer and a floor monitor A ton of old Peavey rigs kicking around and still sound good enough for a pub band. Dont forget lights too are an important part of a live show even in a pub

It’s the best rig I’ve ever used Cab is fantastic ( a little heavy but worth it ) and the V4B just sounds great regardless of how you set it. Works very well with a PBass and suits rock very well

I’m a V4B user for gigs with the SVT212AV cab Very loud valve amp used in a four piece rock band Best amp I’ve ever owned by a long way and worth the weight My master volume at a typical pub gig is 9 o clock !!

How do you rate these two pedals together ? Ive got the BC-1X and just ordered the BB-1X to run after it

I used the MXR it’s a great pedal and performs very well

My belief is a life / family / relationship balance is important to how often you gig We limit it to two gigs per month max and virtually none in Aug ( holidays etc ) Bands have a natural life expectancy and working everyone too hard generally results in folk leaving !

I had a Legacy 800 and used Ashdown cabs and a PBass I didn’t like the very mid forward tone that I couldn’t lose It was just too much Try the Genzler Magellan 800 as it’s amazing in comparison

I loved my ABM600 but I have found better amps along the way that suits my needs etc They are certainly a fine amp as are the RM series

That sounds promising I’m using the Ampeg Optocomp which for a low cost pedal works ok but tends to remove highs a little I’m hoping the Boss pedal is clean ? And does a decent job I’ve tried MXR before and Keeley and sold them both

Looking for folks opinions on the Boss BC1X compressor and settings ? I’ve got one incoming and curious how people rate it

Tried flatwounds and didn’t like them. Roundwounds definitely for me

This ^👍

Never !!👎

That’s all I can think it is but I didn’t even need to back off the bass tone pot as I switched to a pick !

So having recently purchased the Fender American Performer PBass I noticed when I switch from fingers to pick the change in tone isn’t too dramatic which is perfect with my rig set up. My other basses seem to have a very different response going from fingers to pick ( Player Series and Vintera ) as much as the pick tone is a very bright version compared to fingers as you would expect The AM Performer less so which must be down to the Pickups and Tone circuit they use ?

I found my CTM100 ok but limited to one range of EQ tweeks The Ampeg V4B is far more useable

Had my first gig with the new bass and it did a grand job Pick or fingers it sounded very nice
