[/quote] True, they're going a bit crazy. I didn't know they had a bass wah, I wonder if it sucks tone when bypassed like my 105q. I hate that design though, and that tilt forward to switch on idea, that's exactly when I'd lose my balance and fall off stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeh, the slammi and wah look pretty....weird to me....I'm not sure I could deal with a floor rocker......are there any other designs out there like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheelvy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Slammi looks interesting, but with the news that the new Digitech Bass Whammy is coming out soon, I'll stick with the design I'm used to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Same here, new Bass Whammy all the way! Even though you can buy a "cradle" for the Slammi (which sort of defeats the point...) I don't imagine the quirky design will appeal to anyone with a pedalboard! Bass-players aside as well (sorry!), even the Whammy V can be had for only a little more and it's a lot more versatile!

iamtheelvy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Shouldn't go knocking EHX though there are several pedals that have become permanent parts of my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Apart from the Bass wah, the latest range does seem mostly guitar-focussed. From the last set of releases, the Freeze has become one of my essential pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iheartreverb Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Would be really interested to hear how they all sound on bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh look a dozen more overdrives, definitely a pedal that the market doesn't have enough of. Where is my programmable Bass Micro Synth and my programmable ADSR envelope generator? Do they still have an R&D department at EHX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have a nano hot tubes, and the nano glove is in my gas list. Both sound great with bass. The glove is a gorgeous drive, and the tubes is a lovely fuzzy drive. I have also picked up a bass wah, which sounds lovely, but has yet to stun me in a mix. I keep trying though I do have to say that I'm a fussy bugger when it comes to wah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relieve some of that Deep Impact GAS (for a while at least...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
