    Quad Cortex - Neural DSP

    You proabably got an answer by now. Haven't been here in a long time. But I was kinda blown away at how accurate the V2 captures of the B:ASSMASTER are. As soon as I put it in the chain and played it, it was like I just stomped my Malekko! The way it felt, sounded and responded to touch and...

    Quad Cortex - Neural DSP

    IMO, they are damn good. I’ve been using the SVT pro 4 amp mostly. That thing sounds so good. But yes, the B15 sounds great. Def try one if and when you can. The old amps ain’t bad. But these new agoura amps are on another level imo.

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    The dirt is one of the only things that’s held me back from going full on modeler. They aren’t bad. But for bass, it’s slim pickins. And the couple you can use are good to passable. But again, it’s the main reason I use a QC with 3 other dirt boxes on the board. I’ve captured a few on my QC and...

    Rusty Box sounding more like a fuzz than... well a Rusty Box

    Do you have the newer or older version of the pedal? And whichever you do have, how are you powering it? I know the OG ver runs at (if I'm remembering correctly) 24v off the provided power supply. Maybe you're not giving it enough juice??

    Fuzz addict club! If you don't like it fuzz off!

    I'm still on the modeler and or multi effects wagon for the most part. I've been trying to find an all in one solution for years now. The Quad Cortex got me close but not quite there. I beleive the Helix Stadium is going to get me there sooner than later. However, I still get GAS for pedals from...

    Quad Cortex - Neural DSP

    Been a while. I grabbed a Helix Stadium and I've been a little distracted. But I too updated my QC and was really impressed with the mono synth as well as the new brassmaster captures! I actually couldn't believe how damn close the brassmaster was. Down to harmonics and fuzz tone. The way it...

    HX Stomp is still a fine piece of gear in 2025

    still love my stomp. As well as the HXFX and the quad cortex. I’m still getting the stadium floor :D

    New MXR Bass Synth pedal coming in July teaser…

    At the end of the day, I’m holding onto the MXR. The C4 is sticking on my main board. The boss SY1 may go up for sale and the MXR will go on my secondary board. The MXR is a lot more musical than the boss imo. I agree with a lot of the comments on the filter in the MXR. It’s tough to wrangle the...

    Overthinking². What is a Preamp ?

    That's how I've always seen and used a preamp pedal as, a boost with some added gain, EQ and flavor from said preamp. I came to believe that the EQ on said preamp added EQ to the flavor of that preamp. Over the years I've used and tried a handful. I used a DG B7K and a Submarine/Icetino for...

    New MXR Bass Synth pedal coming in July teaser…

    This is indeed the thing missing from the MXR. I added a muff before it, and it pretty much got to where I wanted it to be compared to the C4 preset I usually use. It’s weird though. Hard to explain. But the C4 has this wide open, space filling sound and feel to it in the preset I use. It fills...

    New MXR Bass Synth pedal coming in July teaser…

    So I took to my first band practice. It sounded so crisp and very strong in our mix. Tracking was great. However, I spent over an hour yesterday trying to copy the sound I use on my C4 to the MXR. I got in the ballpark. It’s very similar to the army of me preset. Love that sound. But in our mix...

    Juan Alderete Reverb Shop - Coming Soon

    Yeah I just watched the video. I didn’t know it was that serious. That really sucks. I’m glad he’s still alive and kickin. You can tell he’s had a tough road. All the best Juan! Def been a huge inspiration to me over the years on a couple different levels.

    Juan Alderete Reverb Shop - Coming Soon

    I've wondered what he's been up to since Covid happened. He kinda dropped off around then. I knew he had that bike accident that messed him up for a min, but does he not play anymore? It'll be really interesting to see what's posted as he has a really extensive collection. Sucks he doesn't...
