Have you noticed the difference? I've not compared the Strobostomp to anything else but it seems to work really well. Does the "normal" setting work? Seems a lot to ask of some DIP switches!

I have never been normal this is just a token attempt! I have actually looked at going back to the Polytune. The Polytune is easier to read and gives the same reading as the Polytune clip. Since changing strings the Strobostomp is reading a small amount higher than the Polytunes and telling me to tune down a little. I am not sure what to trust any longer. They used to all read the same with the old strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I meant like an internal Volto rather than a 9v battery clip. Kinda like the PJB Bighead that’s rechargeable via USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 A good idea, until I cave and add 2 octavers and a compressor, then breakout the PT nano again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Always a "wallet risk" to have space for one more pedal on your board! Proton arrived yesterday to take the remaining slot on my mini board. First impressions: very positive - it’s really easy to dial in a tasty filter sweep. Signal chain is Smoothhound wireless-->Boss LS -->Zoom B1X-4-->3Leaf Proton--> Digitech Mosaic. As mentioned previously, the Zoom is in the LS2's loop to allow me to blend in as much clean to combine with the Zoom's effects. That's a must for a lot of the Zoom drive patches, particularly my fav Rat Tail, but it's a "nice to have" to keep some authentic low end with other fx.

danny-79 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 New board I’m very happy with. New board, power supply, cables, case. ....... just kind of feeling sorry for my old board. Lot of history together. It’s made up of two PT nano+ grafted together. I was debating splitting it back down and making a small essential board but prob best just get another board for that. Would hurt it’s fee breaking it up 😂😂😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm surprised more people haven't got into it. It's sort of like Boss' equivalent of the EHX Micro Pog. Polyphonic octaves up and down but with a tone control and modulation.

Al Krow Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Nice little review and liked your clean tone a lot at 4.00, but sadly I didn't hear anything from the pedal that remotely floated my boat tonally or as an octave pedal and I won't be parting with £119 to swell's Boss' coffers on this one!** Edited May 3, 2020 by Al Krow ** @Stub Mandrel clear evidence that Boss have rescinded my commission since my heady SY-1 days 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson_51_ Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Updated my board, added in a small stone. I was tempted by a EarthQuaker Grand Orbiter but couldn’t justify the cost for something that I won’t use a lot. I may swap it out for one if I find I use this a lot and not 100% happy with it. so it’s now Polytune > Wilson mini Freaker Wah > Cog Tarkin 66 > EHX Small Stone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ashdown Original preamp comes Can I ask an honest question please - how do you use the HP and LP filters, and what do they do to/for your signal on this setup? I've never had either on my board, and have often seen one or the other on peoples boards, so I'm just genuinely curious as to what they do and how you use them with those pedals? Always on? To emphasise certain pedals? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To emphasise certain pedals? cheers They are always on. I starting to use them because I go ampless 99% of the time. The HPF cuts the subs. I started to set it at 60Hz. Especially with my 5th string bass, it just sounds more tight. It gives more room to the kick drum (my drummer likes bassier kick drums) and it protects the PA and the amp. I use the LPF as the rolloff of a very transparent bass cab without tweeter. It helps especially with distortion. If I use a cab with a mic, I don't use the LPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played gigs for 20 years mostly into mic'd cabs or a combo of that and DI, but my last gig was straight to PA, and I had a nightmare with the high frequencies for fuzz and distortions, so that's all good to know! many thanks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is you don't have control of the frequency with the Thumpinator like you do with the Broughton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) My latest setup. Wee Lush FX ABC pedal allows me to keep all 3 basses that I use live plugged in and switch between them for a faster change over. The VT Bass, Leeds and "Phthonus" (Tri-Logic Bass Preamp clone kit) are each then effectively presets for each of the 3 basses.

Stupid to have sold the first one seeing as I didn't particularly need the money, I was just trying something else at the time. This time, if I do ever decide to stop using it for any reason, I'll just put it in a drawer somewhere ready for when I see sense and decide to use it again! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sold it cause I’d brought something new. Ive sold too many pedals over the year that I regret selling. File them away in a draw till they come back to mind. It’s hardly big money to be made in selling them. Only ever achieved that once (managed to hang onto one that’s now back in rotation rather than selling it and regretting it) but it’s definitely the way forward Edited May 9, 2020 by danny-79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
