jamesbass116 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i've heard great things about this pedal. i was wondering if anyone has had any experiences..good or bad.. so i can judge on whether to get one also whether there are any cheaper or just better alternatives? cheers, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have one of these on my board and cannot recommend them highly enough! They are one of the few envelope filters that do not lose the bottom end at all. They are relatively expensive but definitely worth it. It does also depend on what sort of sound you are trying to achieve - there are other filters that offer more "squelch" if that is your thing. There is another thread on the forum that talks about envelope filters and you can hear a sample of track that I have recorded with my band and the intro uses a Chunk Systems Agent 00 Funk Mark II not sure if that is the sound that you are after or not.

jamesbass116 Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 thanks for the info mark! i checked out a vid on youtube of a guy using the bassiq and it is the EXACT sound that i'm after.. guess i'd better start saving up my gig money! haha thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I like it but I find it very tricky to set up. It's too sensitive to the 'hotness' of the bass so you you have to find just the right threshold spot and right attack speed to get the right tone and avoid it enhancing too low frequencies giving it an unpleasant volume boost. When I get it right, it's awesome and makes me forget my wah, but it's a lot of work, also because different amps and EQs in rehearsal rooms make me have to adjust this pedal every time!
