BassBalls -

They're easy to get, you just have to know where to look. Hit me up if you want any of the PS- series. I can sort you out. :)

I'm in two minds whether to get one or not.

Id personally wait for the ps-3. Have a read on harmony central at the reviews to help make your mind up.

See, i'm totally covered for pitch shifting at the moment - my whammy does everything i want and i love that digitised whammy sound, i only wanted the ps-2 for the arpeggiator, but now ive started looking at robotalks again...


DAMN YOU G.A.S!!!!!!!!!!

Is all this PS-3 is amazing lark just because you are selling yours?

Ant have a look at the Line 6 FM4 I a/b'ed it against the robotalk and its a much easier to trigger and much easier to control.

Though both Subdecay and Catalinbread are working on Sample & Hold filters but don't hold your breath for them being available this year.

I'm perfectly chilled, I was just wondering if you were giving overly biased advice simply because you wanted to palm off the PS-3.

sshhhhhhhhhhh its stagg.... and its plastic but it does the job :)[/quote]

Wow, that's excellent prices! So what it's plastic, so are SKB cases! Would you say it's nearly as resistant as SKB's plastic or is it really rubish?

Here's my current setup. It runs in this order-

BASS > Bassdrive > Deep Impact > EBS Bass IQ > Small Clone > Harmonist > Phase 90 > DD20 Giga Delay > RC20XL Loop Station > DBX 160a rack compressor > AMP
The Tone Bone is either at the beginning or end of my pedal board, depending on how I'm using it.

Can you not control the whammy by midi. If so you might be able to use a simple midi drum machine (assuming you could set the note values) to create an arrpregio which would sync to the tempo by using the tap button. I have been considering trying this with a rack fx unit and ableton live.

Now THAT would be a thing of beauty.

I had a listen to your clips and just an FYI just from the sound is your bass active? as thats why you are getting all those gated sounds with the Fuzz probe, you should look into an impedance buffer as that will greatly increase the usability of that pedal for you.

Also to anyone else looking the arpegiator on that PS-3 is more like a real arpegiator than that of a Sample and Hold Filter so try not to compare them to much as they sound completely different. Personally I prefer the sounds of a Sample and Hold Filter.

Hope this helps
