    M-Vave IR Box review

    Controlling the M-Vave IR BOX over Midi (USB midi): You'll need a controller than can send SYSEX messages as a host over USB to the IR Box. I used a M-VAVE Chocolate Plus, but anything that can send as a USB host should work (including your PC). There's probably gadgets to make non-host-mode USB...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    From what I can tell you’ll probably need the cholocate plus because the non-plus doesn’t a usb host mode. Or you’ll need intervening hardware. I ordered a plus this morning. It was like $30 on Temu. It seems like a versatile piece of kit on its own. Should be able to control my Tonex with it...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    Hey I’ve not been on in a while but wanted to note that it looks like some people have had success programming an inexpensive M-valve Chocolate Plus midi controller to control the IR box - so that’s a big improvement. We could theoretically change programs, bypass, or kick EQ on and off with...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    Checking same IRs on both boxes is the way to go. I didn’t care for the stock IRs on IR box but found a lot I liked. The Dr Bonkers stuff was really good, for instance. Now that I’ve had mine a while I’m really appreciating the 9(!) band parametric EQ too, that is barely mentioned in the...

    NPD- Zoom G5n as bass modeller

    Ok I think I found the issue with the password on the firmware link. Give it a try. sorry it took me so long to get to.

    sorry I'm just now seeing this. I'll look into the password thing - I didn't intend to do a password. If you have a better way of sharing this file free to share it (once I get it to you)

    New: Zoom B3n Multi-Effects

    Yes you can restore single patches. In stomp mode you can individually turn on/off the displayed effects, and scroll the “window” of displayed effects to whatever in the chain so you can turn those on and off individually. The tuner would work as a bypass if you don’t set it to mute, though...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    Yes you sure could. You could even save different frequencies for hpf in different memories for, say, 4 string vs 5, or Geddy vs Jamerson.

    M-Vave IR Box review

    Once the cover is off, you see they didn’t waste much space: Further the XLR output is a separate component so the ground wire is easily accessible if you wanted to try to put a ground lift switch somewhere. I think the only place that would be at all forgiving would be a small push button or...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    I took mine apart. First interesting bit is the knobs are sleeves over pcb-mounted pots. Removing the sleeves (or at least the middle one) makes it a lot easier to get your fingers in there. To disassemble, remove the four screws in the side corners, remove the sleeves over the pots, and...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    I also noted that the base cabs are listed as 4x10 in the docs, but I’m not sure that’s true either. I hadn’t thought of that. That may be the path of least resistance. Yes a lot of gain is available. I’ve not played with mine in that fashion but I’ll add it to the list of things to try...

    M-Vave IR Box review

    Great! I'm not setup to actually create any IRs but I think I know the jist of the process. I'd love to get an IR of my rare oddball Bassman 20 which sounds great but can't get real loud. I'm glad you're liking the box. Its an amazing little thing for the money. It would be amazing if it was...

    NPD- Zoom G5n as bass modeller

    Understood. I allow myself one trip to the car - so one thing in each hand 🤣

    Supposedly uneven neck pocket on a Fender Jazz

    The odds of screwing something else up and making it worse are way too high if it plays well. Remove the sticker, bolt it back together; and play.

    NPD- Zoom G5n as bass modeller

    I don't know what's available to you, but in the US, it is popular for builders to use modular toolboxes to carry tools. Several are a perfect fit for the G5n. I went to the store with a cardboard cutout of my G5n and tried them out for size. Here's one from RIDGID I think I might get it is...
