fretmeister Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Anyone got one? The EQ looks very powerful so I'm tempted to try one on bass. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The 'bore has got its own sound that it does really well. If you don't mind it imposing that on your bass then I'd say "go for it". What's the worst that can happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I spent some time with one not long after they were released The eq is very powerful, and the gate functions beautifully, however it didn't make me say wow! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a sound good enough to cut through in a heavy les Paul/ Marshall mix Ymmv of course- it's worth a try after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno70 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm sure I Am Not Excane has got one of these amongst his massive boutique collection and iirc he really rated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost bottom end when I kicked it in alone too. That said though, I really like MXR pedals alot and still have my M80 in the cupboard.
