Merton Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hello one and all and happy new year I have an interesting question; my EBS Unichorus is great but it seems to have a massive volume difference with clean vs effect, whereby effect is totally dominating the band mix. Is there a trim pot inside the pedal (black label) which I can lower the gain of the effected signal or do I just need to ride the volume control on my bass a bit? Cheers ears Quote
pantherairsoft Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I find the Unichorus gives a slight boost in volume, though I suspect it's actually a boost in the higher mid frequencies that make it cut through. If I'm not mistaken there is a trim pot inside, but this is a mix/blend of the chorus effect. This is 'supposed' to come from the factory (if you bought it new) at 50/50. Reducing this 'may' lessen the volume shift, but may also change the sound of the effect - which could be undesirable! Quote
Merton Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah I suspected the same re the hi mid boost, especially since it has become a lot more prominent since going to GK amps which seem to have a lot more mid presence than my old Eden. I may take a screwdriver to it and have a play then but I might just have to be sensible with my bass volume instead Edited January 1, 2012 by Merton Quote
pantherairsoft Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 It's never really bothered me too much but I have definitely noticed it. It's such a lovely sounding pedal I've always just 'accepted' it. Quote
Merton Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 TBH it bothers the band more than me I had a dream last night that I bought an LS2 and stuck the Unichorus in its own loop with the volume control on the LS2 balancing the levels. Seems a bit OTT... Quote
pantherairsoft Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Maybe OTT - But if you have the room on a pedalboard it's not a bas idea, simply because the LS-2 is hands down the best pedal in the world and everyone should own one. It does a million and one things and the number of times I was in a studio with an odd situation to sort out when the engineer said 'if only you had an LS-2' - I've always had one since. 1 Quote
ezbass Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 There's a dry/wet trim pot inside. I found mine very full on at first, but a quick adjustment with the pot and it's all good. Quote
