Use the -1 oct sawtooth.

Don't use the other voices.

Be a bit annoyed that you can't make the filter totally static.

Saw that on CR. Almost wanted it.

CR?

I'll give you $51. $52?

I bought one just to play a cover on my final bass exam

Most modes have something interesting, downside is the need to really up the input on it to get the sound to trigger well and that gain applies to the bypass as well...

Vocal A & B are the fattest synthy sounds I ever gotten. Too bad it's such a big pedal and the bypass thing or it would be on my live board.

I think the solution is to put a clean boost pedal before the G5. To bypass, you would have to hit two switches OR Put the boost, G5 and anything after it in a separate effects loop.

after a bit of messing around with this for a while, its pretty cool. But i prefer the deep impact so far. there seems to be a lot of extraneous noise and the sound doesnt seem as tight as the akai.

I can understand your disappointment, and I'm willing to take away your pain. Care to double your investment?

Dibs!

From sound samples I've heard of the Akai I find the sounds at least fairly similar, or at a minimum produce the same family of sounds. As far as "extraneous noise" I'm not exactly sure what you mean - the G5 can "fart" if there is more than one note being processed (which could just be a wobbling string or a fast run where you leave a note hanging). Otherwise it never produced noise and I never needed a booster pedal as the input/ output knobs always provided more than enough volume and fat synthy goodness. The tracking was awesome. However, I was required to get a bypass looper because it definitely sucked away my tone when bypassed.

Just keep playing with it. It's freaking awesome.

If you have both a Deep Impact and G5 have you ever tried running them at the same time? Too ridiculous to even try???

[loveandbass]

YES!!! the "fart"! thats the technical term i was looking for

Its a great pedal IMO....and maybe I just havent locked in that sound I want yet. I tried throwing a comp before it in the chain but that seemed to bring up some noise and adversely trigger the effect.

[loveandbass]

is there any way to bypass this thing?
