It’s possible you may have hit it and changed the A-440Hz to something else. Many tuners have the ability to change the A-440hz so you can down tune etc and still get an ‘in tune’ reading. #RTM #RTM is a good general principle for sure. But you also need to #CTP** So whilst many tuners may have the ability to change the A-440Hz, this certainly doesn't. It's a little bit out in the same direction for each note. I've calibrated it with tuners that are accurate. Tbf it's not out by precisely by the same amount for each string - my bad for indicating this might have been the case and why you rightly diagnosed your possible solution. It's actually fine for a quick and dirty at gigs, particularly as I know its foibles. **check the price. This was a < £12 piece of Korg tat. If you pay peanuts you invariably get monkeys! That's an equally good general principle methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Korg 'Pitchjack' plug in - is that different to the one you're thinking of? I don't think they're making them any more (which may say something!) ...

krispn Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 They’ve likely moved on to clip-on type so you don’t have to keep unplugging your bass on a gig every time you need it tune. That’s possibly as much to do with it as poor performance. Does yoirs look like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yup that's the one. So there is 'flat' tuning adjustment available, but I don't make "use" of that i.e. it's on a normal setting. Instead of being exactly central when the bass is in tune it will be both central and one next to it on the right lit up. It's close but not quite there.

blablas Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Finally another update on my board, It's been a while. What has changed? - EQD GhostEcho is placed further down the chain, gives the best result before all the modulation effects. - Modified the layout on the small board. - Two new power supplies under the hood. Harley Benton ISO-1 Pro and ISO-2 Pro. The ISO-2 was chosen due to the need for 12 Volt with the Two Notes LeBass and the DG Microtubes X. - Thanks to these new power supplies I could ditch a HB Junior and a few wall warts. Each pedal has its own power socket now - no more fiddling with daisy chains. - Two new mini pedals, HoTone EKO en Tape EKO. - TC Fluorescence back from pseudo retirement. - Some new cables here and there. - Some Rockboard light dampening caps for the pedals that have a spotlight for the on/off indication (all Earthquaker Devices and the MXR Envelope). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sound good though Kicked my ocd off again now as to ordering them again lol The Duality definitely has more bite to it after the B3K but don’t think I use them both together in any context.

Gillian57 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Here's my current board configuration along with settings, which are all fairly subtle... Chain is from bottom row (Tuner) right to left, then top row right to left. I often drop the Sub 2 on the Sub 'n' Up Octaver right off to stop it getting too muddy in the low end as I play 5 string. Yes, I know I've got a brand thing going on... 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so thats alot of AD/DA conversion going on! do you ever notice any latency with more than say 6 or 7 pedals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 They're not all digital (all the overdrives are analog), and many of the digital effects have an analog dry signal that mixes with the processed digital portion (mostly the delay/reverb/modulations or anything with a clean blend). But it is a fair comment, I even started a thread a while back posing the same question after seeing some monster boards with rows of digital pedals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon that the most pedals I regularly use at the same time is four... Compression is usually on, then add whatever the song suits (eg Tube Drive + Overdrive + Distortion for a kinda ZZ Top sound). I don't notice a problem with signal latency when using a few pedals, and when not in use the signal is true bypass so no worries there either.

You nicely follow the thought of keeping enough space between pedals, and I like that, cause you don't want to be pushing wrong buttons etc, but then you put that upper left pedal sideways making it (in my eyes) extremely difficult to switch on any of those 4 knobs without touching a wrong one... I would leave the polytune constantly on, so it's easy to put it somewhere in the back, and make some place to put the 4 knob pedal in the front? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
