    Boss GT 1000Core

    Who doesn't love a bunch of dip switches on the back of the chase bliss pedal?! So cool...

    Yes, I have the Express MK2 bass comp and I really like it. There is a 2khz saturation bump that is nice addition for rock. The metering is a great visual indication of what your compression is actually doing (much faster to set up). I just use the 2:1 mild setting with about 25% dry sound so I...

    I'm the same also. I just set it to the mid point, just incase I'm missing something!

    It'd be great if the preset name would flash up as you changed patches , or perhaps more of a 50/50 sharing of the screen size when in the display showing the foot switch effect names.

    Multi-effects unit

    You are correct! Sorry, I hadn't noticed those options are missing from the Mercury, as they are present in my LA Lady and Ultrawave. That's rather odd they did it that way...

    The source audio pedal app/software lets you reassign the knob parameters.

    Multi-effects unit

    I second the blender pedal. For example on my Boss GT CORE 1000 it allows me to set a signal divider. At the front of my chain I send 200hz and above through my effects, with below 200hz staying unaffected and then blended back into the output. Works well for me. I have seen some variable...

    Multi fx's box

    I have the Boss GT core 1000 and find it fantastic. You'd be very hard pressed to run out of effects in it. My core sound is input HPF, Frequency Divider (low frequency stays clean, with high frequency going through the effects chain), compression, Amp modelling, Noise Gate, Output HPF/LPF...

    I had this issue on my windows PC, when USB audio was enabled in the mixer settings. Not sure if that is helpful for your MAC?

    Boss GT 1000Core

    Thought I should share some of my musings, and how I use it, after having this pedal for a year and a half. I play in a mainly ballad band with some light rock. I mainly play a 5 string with black nylon taper strings which gives a nice soft sound for the ballads, with minimal string noise when...

    Boss GT 1000Core

    I've read this entire thread right through, and thought I'd go back through and re-read again. Some great tidbits in there for sure... I've seen a few videos of split frequency, and keeping the low end and nice and clean and unaffected (perhaps some light compression?), and using the higher...

    I have an older Samick Valley Arts passive 5 string, and I have to use a level similar to yours. But my Fender blacktop jazz (with two P pickups), that requires +4 to +6, so there is obviously quite a difference in pickup volumes (10db in this example!).

    Fender Blacktop Club

    I pick mine up tomorrow! Just saw it on an online auction site, and quickly looked up what this model was. I had been keeping an eye out for double P configurations, so am very excited to try this out!

    That's a beautiful looking pedal. Hopefully they make a bass version and add a D.I!

    It is beside the point if it's been answered before, and if it amounts to nothing. I was still interested in hearing if Les Fret had any update requests to add to the musings of others...
