Seems like a pretty broad generalization to me, but so it goes. “Most of the music is easy, and written music is a crutch. [sic]” Got it.

To me, this is really a stage presence/engagement issue. Different gigs have different expectations. Addiitionally, not all musicians using charts are using them in the same way, in terms of stage presence and competence. If you can be present with fellow musicians and connect to the crowd to...

Has anyone suggested or tried headphones on the new SA Bass Zio? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]he solutions I like best are things that are useful in more than one way. Preamp pedal, Audio interface like the Scarletts, or the small mixers, especially if they double as an interface. A couple...

Well that would complicate things, and also seems to be a difficult cable to find. In the SA manual/support doc, it looks like TRS is suitable, with the footnote that If you can flip tip/ring on the pedal - you shouldn’t need the RCA trick. it is an argument for the hub, I suppose, but I...

Thanks for the checklist! I'll review the control port setting in the editor. What I saw made sense, but I don't recall specifically stating expression vs switch. By my ears, the expression starts at about 40% of the pedal movement and is effective upwards from there. The adaptor from SA from...

Ok - I suppose I'll leave these up for educational purposes, but I've made some progress. If you switch the polarity of the pedal AND reverse your min/max, putting 100 (or desired max) in the min field and 0 (or desired min) in the min field - you're in business. I don't love the...

Well, as for #1, I opened up not one, but two Dunlop X's (large and mini). Each has a switch to flip heel and toe, but neither made a difference. Nor did the "invert" button in the Neuro editor. Sure was hoping these pedals would work... As far as the switch vs sweep, it feels a little...

Expression pedal question. I've got a Dunlop X connected to my Spectrum. When I'm in the editor and trying to dial in some presets with the pedal, I'm noticing two things. 1) It appears heel is 100% and toe is 0% in this setup. I understand there's an internal switch in the Dunlop pedal...

Send a note to an aspiring player, or school who needs a bass, letting them know about the deal. Another generous idea would be to gift it to a person or organization. Play it forward abd all that… It’s above and beyond, but beats leaving it unseen and unappreciated in a Guitar Center, or...

If you're splitting it up at some point, I'm interested in the FS-7.

Billy Strings has drawers full of active pedals on his backline, controlled by midi upfront. It's a pretty whacky rig rundown... ("The Rack" discussion is somewhere around the 41 minute mark)

Good catch! It's a groovy pedal, and I was glad to have the opportunity to support the Park. Playing there on Thu. Feb 8th btw, although I doubt I'll have this rig at that show.

Good news, I started over with the power supply routing, and the strange noise from the Atlas went away. It was on it's own single send from the power supply, but the other two digital pedals weren't. Anyway, I rearranged and rewired, and voila we're back in action. This is set up to mount...

Getting closer... On a percussion stand for hand-use, with a foot pedal board with expression and bass-wah on the floor.

This has been mounted on my board for a while. The only blemishes are some scratches where I scraped labels off from below the jacks. I've re-arranged and don't need this device any more. This particular model is no longer in production, but has been replaced by the 2X Mod Pro - which is $149...
