2pods Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 Oh, right. Thanks. I thought it might have some fretless sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pods Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 I think there are a few, but the only one I've found that was really good was in the long discontinued, Roland VB99. Which needed a GK2/3 hex pickup on your bass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using a Rusty Box for close to 15 years now and didn't realise there were alternatives til seeing these discussed here. But yeah, the boost is unusable, I've never touched it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted Wednesday at 15:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:52 Got a new preamp/EQ/OD/DI - adding a noise gate and a compressor allowing me to consolidate down a touch. Got its first live run at the weekend and it performed very well. The pre/post/dry switch gives levels of OD at the flick of a switch - that's maybe not what it's for, but that's the effect it has. It's louder when the OD happens first then the EQ is applied to the overdriven signal as opposed to the other way around. Pretty impressed with it. Versus the Monomyth it has replaced, we have less flexibility in the EQ (less bands, no shelving), no headphones out (not as useful as it might seem as there's no aux in) and no cab sim on the DI (but gain an independent level control and an OD/EQ bypass) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted Thursday at 17:36 Share Posted Thursday at 17:36 I've been intrigued by these for ages, so when one popped up on ebay for £20 - I couldn't say no lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you categorise the drive? Is it like the crayon, or more Hot tubes in character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it like the crayon, or more Hot tubes in character? I don't know what either of those things sound like, sorry! I'm only on my fourth OD ever so I really don't have a huge array of experience to draw on. I've only had a Bass Soul Food (which I didn't really care for), a Mojomojo (which I really liked) and the drive in the Monomyth (which I also really liked). This one's a bit different to those two, definitely wanders into Distortion territory beyond OD if you crank it, but it can be used more subtly. Best I can offer you is the video I put up in the "how was your gig?" thread this week - that was the T-bird and the Battalion's drive was on, pre-EQ for maximum effect. Sounded pretty meaty to me!

MrDinsdale Posted Saturday at 16:08 Share Posted Saturday at 16:08 Finally get to have a play with the DCX Bass, loving the EQ mode for some light touch tone sculpting 👌 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
