Yes with the latest jamup update multiple pedals from the same group are now available at the same time

The blue comp is not clean and transparent as the red comp and of course not as the LA comp. The blue comp is better used as an effect then a clean/ clear comp.

Ignore the other stuff there, just set the Tron up similar, with a high gain. It works just fine for bass.
He may not have used it in the video, but there's plenty of good sounds in that pedal.

Like Rip I actually like the Q better then the Mu.

What is you iDevice driving, headphones? And what interface do you use?
Are you sure the amp/ GK is engaged??
Here is a recent clip I've done on the GK:

and

I have the BDDI in front in rather mild/ moderate settings, no problem with loadness or OD/ distortion/ grit.

Dude these are big fat and meaty with hi end clarity very nice tone

Yeah I'm looking for it to be more of a sustain than an actual compressor type pedal

See ....I don't have the Q.

Anyone having latency issues or any weirdness since the latest Audiobus update?

I had some strangeness with the Apogee Jam connecting through Audiobus (using the audio input as always), it also connected the microphone, causing some nasty feedback.

Shutting everything down and restarting fixed it, but it was a panic moment when my iPhone started screaming at me!!

Also AT is not really any different than Jamup in terms of cost for in app purchases. I am using Jamup more than anything else, so I am not hating on anyone. BUT, I hate the fact that when buying amps or peddals in Jamup you have to buy one at a time and end up paying way more than you would like or you buy bundles and pay the same price even though one bundle has some of the same effects as the other bundles and you do not get a discount for buying the same effect twice. That is just the worst.

So to quote you Rip, directed at Jamup "WOW. Just WOW." All you company are a bunch of corporate a**wholes. Trying to make a profit off of us. This should all be free!

I dunno about other apps but a lot of the stuff in JamUp is available in bundles. Effects bundles, amp bundles and the like.

Guys which drum machine do you like best. Dm1 or FunkBox.

I haven't used FunkBox, but DM1 is a very powerful little app. Hundreds of different kits (some of them really crazy), step sequencer, real-time loop recording, Audiobus support...

It's a great app on the surface but has a ton of features once you get more advanced and start tweaking. I use it almost every day for loop construction, and since they've added Audiobus support a few weeks ago, it really speeds things up.

Thanks Rip, Dm1 it is.

Not so sure if I had issues but I've tried 256 frames and I feel like there was some strange noises here and there, with 512 frames there was a tiny latency thing.

+1 on the DM1

Here is the answer to quite a few pages back (I just don't want to go searching) aboutthe blue lines three step mid range switch. I got this from the ampeg SVT-VR user manual:

3. VOLUME: Use this control to adjust the output level of channel one.
4. TREBLE: Use this to adjust the high frequency level of channel one. This provides up to 12 dB of boost, or 12 dB of cut at 4 kHz. The high frequency output is flat at the center position.
5. MIDRANGE: Use this to adjust the midrange frequency level of channel one. This provides up to 20 dB of boost, or 20 dB of cut at the selected frequency
[8]. The midrange frequency
output is flat at the center position. Rotate the control counter-clockwise
for a "contoured" sound (more distant, less midrange output) or clockwise for a sound which really cuts through.
6. BASS: Use this to adjust the low frequency level of channel one. This provides up to 12 dB of boost, or 12 dB of cut at 40 Hz. The low frequency output is flat at the center position.
7. ULTRA-HI: This switch, when engaged [right side down], enhances the amount of high frequency output of channel one. The amount of boost is dependent on the setting of the volume control [3].
8. 1-2-3: This switch selects the frequency that will be affected by the midrange control [5]. The available frequencies are 220 Hz [left side of the switch engaged], 800 Hz [switch in the center position], or 3 kHz (right side of the switch engaged].
9. BASS-CUT/OFF/ULTRA-LO: Engaging the left side of this switch decreases the low frequency output of channel one. Engaging the right side of this switch enhances the low frequency output of channel one. The switch is inactive in the center position.

I like DM1 as well, but it has VERY limited MIDI functionality, so until that changes I can only recommend FunkBox, which shares pretty much all DM1's features but has a more limited soundset (all vintage drum machines).

Number one and two talk of the 1st and 2nd input jacks being the 1. Normal and 2. Being the bright input but the switch given on jamup provides the bright in and off

Part 8
Is the part of the interest: switch in the 1 position "should be" 220hz and the 3 position "should be" 3000hz. The 2 position (what is not controllable on jamup yet) is "should be" 800hz.

[adambomb]

There is also other great info on the rest of the knobs too so I threw that in there for your reading enjoyment

I want 800hz, there is some magic there!!

Thanks Adam for doing JimmyM's work!!

[adambomb]

well...... on the eq pedal there are 400hz, 800hz, 1.6khz, and 3.2khz sliders

[adambomb]

but that is outside the amp pre or post
