yep...I have one...and think it's a great filter...I think it's set at about:

10 o'clock 3 o'clock...

there is a slight volume spike...but not bad enough to bother me...and it's nice and quacky...

i used it last night on my gig, i can't get the quacky sound you were saying. does it has something to do with my active bass? i'm using a sadowsky ms5. i'm still trying to get the right mix for me to fit in my band, i'm kinda lost a bit. can you suggest me something? i'm trying to get that fast quack for my fast lines. is this possible?

My favourite setting is both at about 10-11 o' clock. It gets a great 'wet' filter sound that I love.

hmmm....dunno if it's your bass or not...I use mainly active Spector Basses and the bottom feeder gets nice and quacky for me...

If I play light, the filter effect basically goes away, so it's sensitive to how much you are "digging" in...

well, maybe i just have to spend some time with it, it's only one day old anyway. i'm sure it's a fine piece of equipment, i heard and read a lot of good things about it. i think i need to tweak it and find my own setting. thanks anyway guys for the reply! i think i will keep it. cheers!

like all filters, it needs to be 'triggered'

take your time to play around with it. if you can't seem to get a good sound on your setup, move on to another filter. =p
( i won't mind trying it! )

Tbh, it took me a couple of days of fiddling around until I found my favourite settings. Your gear is most likely different to mine, tayste's, fishtx's and Max Robert's so I think it's one of those effects that you need to play with yourself. I actually don't remember my favourite settings, but I know roughly where they are (it takes about 20 secs to find them once I've plugged in).

Follow your ears, not your eyes

My favorite setting for my red 442(same pedal) are 1 o clock level and 11 o clock range. The I crank the range for synthiness with fuzz sounds.

i know i will like it. i had the same feeling when i just bought my sadowsky. i've been using my streamer S1 for 3 years and i thought it sounded better. now i'm sold with my sadowsky, specially hearing it from a big PA system last saturday. we opened a concert for this popular guy here in thailand. his band name is LOSO. man that sadowsky is awesome! plus all my pedals, worth it!
