Anyone tried one of these on bass yet? I was thinking of getting a Barber LTD but having trouble deciding between the transparent sounding SR version or the fatter mid-humped v2 version. Someone on the Barber forums suggested the B-Custom Cool as a good pedal for bass, and it looks like it covers the ground of both the LTD pedals: http://www.barberelectronics.com/customcool.html

| | | | I was looking at this too, is it the same with the added dynamics and toggle? |

Looks very interesting and one of the most tweakable ODs I've ever seen; as well as the toggle there is a push/pull tone switch and loads of internal trimpots to fiddle with. Hopefully someone round here is up for being a guinea pig... It would be me, but I've bought far too many pedals this month already! |

I'd like to know how much gain is on tap, all I've heard is very low gain clips on guitar and it sounded very transparent. Your Supercollider clips made me buy that pedal, maybe you'll do it again! |

EDIT: may have to wait a little, sadly. i left my bag o' stuff at practice, and it has my cables and power supply in it.

| | | | the ltd sr is not a gain monster, it is a tone machine. perfect for adding a hairy edge to your bass. it's like a guitarist through a bassman, cranked with sweet breakup and singing sustain. not anything like you'd think of if the same guitarist played a jcm800 wide open. that being said, it's covers a ton of ground on bass. it actually sounds best under 70% with the drive knob (imho). it really adds a great boost into an rpm set for moderate gain. |
