fretmeister Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Freq response is 70hz to 20khz I cut off the lows at about 75hz on my bass patches anyway so I think I could use this in the house for bass as well and cut down on the stuff in my lounge! Keep the Barefaced cabs in another room out of the way unless I'm going out to play. And best of all.... NO SMEGGING FAN!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I assume Line 6 are now suggesting Helix users go down this route rather than the Stagesource route...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intime-nick Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) look, no bass amp - i was feeling sorry for the two guitarists having to lug all their amps, cabs and mega pedalboards etc (but only for a bit)....IEMs and Helix for the win !

fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Chad's just deleted another post mentioning Designworx products. Man he's a silly billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I see he's updated the group rules to exclude all competing products. He claims his products "fund" the group. I wasn't aware that FB charged anything. I'm guessing he just wants paying for sitting on FB all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 It seems many people have had enough of Chad's cow poop.

intime-nick Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 oh dear - it appears to have rather caused a bit of a stir and i didn't even post anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 The epic thread has been deleted now. Apparently because of the rules. I may have now mentioned that there is nothing in the rules that allows the deletion of a thread about the rules. I'm expecting the banhammer. Still - the actual Line 6 guys post in all manner of FB groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guitarist has just sent back his Stagesource ("too ugly, too fiddly and not loud enough") and ordered one of these so I'll see if he'll let me try bass through it...

fretmeister Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 After defections Chad has now changed the group rules so people can recommend products that he doesn't make. Would not surprise me if the real L6 guys had a word behind the scenes. Can't be good for a brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tandark Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Incoming new updated cioks power supplies have ALL 9v 660ma outputs. Surely 2 outputs combined with a doubler cable and 2.5mm adapter will be enough to power a HX Effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Or you could just get a Truetone supply which is more flexible with mA ratings. BTW just seen an interesting OC-2 patch posted on TB, using the Pitch Ring Mod rather than the octaver - somebody give it a go and report back?

Is that enough to power the HXFX? I'll dig out a link; I've been rather surprised at how good it is for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got a OC2 to compare it with, and there's only one octave down but it's pretty good. Better than the Simple Pitch one I currently use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 If you want an approximation to the OC-2, isn't the legacy Bass Octaver closer than the Simple Pitch? That's what I remember from my trial I ran anyhow, seemed a pretty decent emulation of an EBS Octabass, so much fatter sounding than a digital pitch shifter.

TBH @dannybuoy Simple pitch was the first one I found when setting up my main patch and I've stuck with it so far, I'll certainly be trying the other octavers on there, probably tonight actually!
