Worth mentioning that while this works it does create a lot extra notes - some of them wrong too - and it doesn’t get the timing right most times. It’s an excellent tool but use your ears and check against the audio as well. For headphones I recommend IEMs as well. I don’t know what it is but...

I don't think there any audio samples out there with this on bass that is not brpbrpbrpbrpbp clanky metal. Give us a taste or send it to scubaduba already.

8 from the last 10 months I spent on a cruise ship contract where I played exclusively country - I had a P Bass in BEAD with LaBella IMAs and Jazz in standard with rounds. I bought a bunch of pedals from this forum and Reverb during this period to build my pedalboard: RNDI, Arkham Oracle...

Granted - I may have been a bit too absolute in my initial statement - I didn’t mean to say you’re going to hear “turn them off” from FOH every time (if that’s indeed what OP asked feedback for as scuba pointed out). Just trying to highlight where this may go wrong and not achieve the intended...

I'm sure it will sound great but you're not leaving any room for the FOH guy to do his thing. How we percieve dynamic range in our practice setups is wildly different to how it is on a big PA. You're going to hear 3 words during soundcheck: "turn them off" I personally tried Lab into Alma...

Game idea: one of your PSU outs outputs 12v instead of 9v and one of your patch cables adds hum. Have your friends come over, first one that finds them wins. Call it board game night 😂

Thinking of getting a DCX to have in EQ mode for always on breakup and pushing it with the SoloDallas BassX into overdrive when needed. Anybody tried pushing the w DCX with a boost?

Recent LAB user here as well. Went through a bunch of comps through the years: Cali76 TX-L, Darkglass HyperLuminal, Cali76 small v1, Diamond. Also doing a lot of studio stuff where I tried multiple outboard and nice plugins. I got it mainly for my country gigs where I go P-Bass with LaBella IMA...

So I got the Alma MK2 today and I managed to spend a few hours comparing it to the UT&T Lab. I used my Dingwalls, the SP1 4 string with LaBella IMAs and the D-Roc 5 with the standard Dingwall nickel rounds. I experimented with signal chain for a bit but I settled at Alma -> Darkglass Alpha...

Got a Union Tube & Transistor Lab last week and played 4 sets a day w/ it on a cruise ship in the country band I'm in - sounds great, I gotta say I love optical comps more than VCA or FET. The UT&T just makes everything sound a bit more pillowy and consistent. Signal chain is Dingwall SP1 w...

Did a demo of the Boden 5 - hope you enjoy it:

My first thought is that they’re all great and complement each other perfectly and I feel happy to have had them - I own the D-Roc and SP1 while the NG2 I bought in 2016 but sold to my best friend who lives near me. If I could choose one bass to do it all it would be the D-Roc - the 37 inch is...

And the D-Roc video is up:

There are definitely some peculiarities when it comes to the Combustion shape vs the D-Roc. Don’t want to exaggerate them though - they are definitely subjective nuances. First of all the D-Roc seems to be thought to be played standing first - it’s definitely comfier that way. When sitting...
