    Pedals with Bad Reviews (That You Love)

    It does only have a handful of sweet spots. I like it all knobs at noon in bass boost mode going into another low gain dirt pedal. Having it push another gain stage tightens it and brings back the mids. For me that’s the DG Vintage deluxe. The key with the bass big muff (for the way I use it)...

    Multi Effect on a budget? (EU)

    I wouldn’t sleep on TC Electronic. Their chorus and reverb are killer. You could try one of the plethora line.

    Can”t hear any bass at live shows anymore

    I have been to the Paramount probably 10+ times. Seems like low end is always a struggle in those old cathedral-like theatres. The only show I could hear the bass clearly was LCD Soundsystem. They had 50 speakers on stage just for the band all running through Neve preamps. I was 2nd row and it...

    Albums featuring bass guitar and one other instrument?

    Upright bass but… The two Edger Meyer and Chris Thile records are a must “Big Top” will blow your mind

    Kernom Elipse: Modulation Fans… You’re Gonna Wanna Try This One

    My Walrus Julia is dying on me. So it was time to go exploring in modulation again. The Elipse showed up at a local shop for $200 so I gave it a go. I don’t think I have had an experience with a pedal quite like this before. It feels like the best of the analog world and digital world rolled...

    What scale doe she use in this tune?

    There was one raised 7 leading tone I heard so I suppose you could say it’s mostly natural minor but borrows form harmonic minor.

    Best P pickup for flats

    I am telling you… You want the Lollar Precision 90s https://www.lollarguitars.com/lollar-p-bass-pickups/precision-90 I have them on my American Pro P bass and they sound INCREDIBLE with flats. Clear almost bell like tones.

    Darkglass Kaamos

    Price and functionality. It has incredible tracking and in a mix does exactly what I need. I use it for an added low octave a lot like most folks use the BOD. I have tired so many octave pedals and for some reason the OC-5 just wins. And it’s always easy to find and affordable.

    Darkglass Kaamos

    I have been jonesing to get the Kaamos back into my rig. My OC-5 is doing the trick. But I really miss the multiple octave types with the filter.

    Which pickguard would you use on this P?

    Unhelpful comment incoming I love the white pick guard on a black P bass. It’s just so classic. Nobody wore it better than young Adam Clayton

    Walrus Audio Mantle

    Yes, the more the reviews come out the more it seems like Walrus might be earning their cred in this market. When the pedal first dropped I don’t think the price point itself was the issue, it was that Walrus hadn’t yet carved out their space in the high end bass pedal market. If it was Origin...

    This thread is fun because I am learning about pedals I would have NEVER thought to try

    Pedals with Bad Reviews (That You Love)

    That’s a great answer. I have never tried the BlowTorch because the online consensus is so negative

    Pedals with Bad Reviews (That You Love)

    Slightly different conversation than “underrated” pedals. I am curious if you have any pedals on your board that have taken a lot of heat in online forums. For example… I am loving the Bass Big Muff for my needs right now. But man a lot of online forums hate that pedal. My buddy gets great...
