lxxwj Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like to hear your music! I have a CE-5 myself and I find it's a little bit too subtle for my taste. How does the multicomp work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have no quality recording and we're still composing/finalizing tracks but if I have any day I'll let you know... I like the multicomp as an always on pedal, it doesn't color the sound much IMO with a light compression setting, even in tubesim mode which I use and find the best (my settings : comp/limit : 11 ; gain : 9 or 10 ; active bass switch position ; tubesim mode). The compressor is mandatory to me before the bass Whammy (and octaver) for a better tracking. I must admit I would like to compare to others like the MXR bass compressor pedal or even a rack like DBX 160 or something but I'm quite happy with it till now.

Both have their charms and uses! Not used the GS live yet though, so the second board will probably stay like this. Although I did just rig it up as Octamizer>Oxide>Subdecay Prometheus>Quasar DLX which is quite cool. Looks like I'm gonna need another Nano [quote name='ordep' timestamp='1361556752' post='1987580'] sell the korg then get the polytune mini, problem solved. :-p [/quote] Nice idea but when you take into account the Pitch Black has it's jacks on the side, and the rest of the pedals on the board have top mounted jacks, it doesn't actually save any space! Plus mine has blue LEDs so it improves the tone drastically - Even if it is on the Tuner Out of my Sadowsky Pre-Amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Mini poll/vote thingy 1: Line6 Relay G50 - TC E Polytune Mini - Tech 21 VT Bass - Mooer Pure Octave, all on a Pedaltrain Nano OR 2: Line6 Relay G50 - TC E Polytune Mini - Tech 21 VT Bass with a Mooer Pure Octave in the effects loop, all on a Pedaltrain Mini It's mainly a debate of do i need 6 presets or not, and where else could i use that extra £100+ that i'd save by not getting the deluxe.
