    Sporadic volume loss

    Thanks! Just to clarify, are you recommending the Caig DeOxit D5 for the input jack, or for pots?

    Sporadic volume loss

    Your post from years ago helped me hugely this weekend. I was having what appeared to be an amp head failure, the day before my first gig since the pandemic closed everything down a year ago. Plugged a patch cable between the Send and Receive, and everything was fine. So thank you! Now that...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Thank you. I will try putting something in front of it, to see what impact that may have.

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Thanks! I will check this out. I have been tied up for a while and not able to get to my gear. Wow, lots of great info here.

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Excellent info; thank you! Gives me a lot to think about. I will have time to go plug in later, and will check out some of these points. At present, I am plugging directly into the Mooer, so no compression involved. I had not considered the scenario of the Sensitivity being set too far, such...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    At present, I am plugging directly in to the Mooer Envelope Filter. I have tried three different active basses: G&L, Lakland, and Music Man StingRay (and have also tried a passive US Fender Jazz). So it would seem to me that the output level of the bass into the pedal should not be the problem...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Wow, awesome reply! Thank you! This gives me lots of resources to pursue. The route of trying a bunch out will be difficult, as there are very few brick and mortar shops with bass wahs anywhere near me; closest would probably be about two hours each way. But from all that you have so...

    MXR envelop filter frustration

    Responding to a very old post here. I am having a similar problem, and did a search, and found this. I just got a Mooer Envelope Filter autowah, and I have a very light touch, and I have to dig in like crazy to get any wah sounds. In my case, I am using a wall wart, not a battery (the Mooer...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Well I have now put some more time into it, and have determined a few things. First, I don’t think it is an active vs. passive bass issue. I got out my passive US Fender Jazz, and I have the same issue with that one. Second, at least for the specific pedal I have in hand, this seems to be...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Wow. What a difference in these videos vs. what I have been able to produce. It seems like they get various wah sounds on virtually any combination of settings. I will go back and put some more time into mine. Hard to tell at this point if I just don’t know what I’m doing, or, I have a defective...

    Auto-wah for active basses? Mooer?

    Greetings! I am relatively new to pedals. Am experimenting some, and slowly accumulating several to go on a future pedal board. I just got a new Mooer Envelope Filter auto wah. It is billed as being both for guitar and bass. It got very high ratings, but most of those were from guitar...

    Lakland Owners Group #69

    Thanks. I am not looking for the exact p-bass sound. When I move it to the neck pup, dial back the treble, play up closer to the neck, etc., I can never get a soft mellow sound. There seems to always be a bright edge to it. Any suggestions on strings that might be better? I want to not give...
