I think I’m gonna give the OC5 a spin. I much enjoy the separate outputs for direct signal and octave. Pains me to see the drivers on my Berg pop out as far as they were when ran all-in to my rig. I do enjoy the OC3 sound when it tracks. Sucks the OC5 is out of stock everywhere!

Hello! I play a fretless bass thru a boss OC3 currently. I’ve always had issues with the pedal losing track when I play notes maybe below D, as played on the A string. I always get an annoying warble like the pedal doesn’t know what to do and jitters back and forth between a couple pitches. I...

Just wanted to express that my Demeter vtbp 800 is soundin goooooooood. Took a little break from a rigorous daily practice routine while my group had some scheduling issues last few months, and have been messing with synths and tape machines. Just had a nice rock rehearsal tonight and the...

Thanks everyone for the input and videos!

god I’m afraid to watch the last one. Thanks for the reply I’ll check these out on break

This is an excerpt from “Havona” by Weather Report. Jaco plays this arpeggiated run around 138 bpm. How the hell would you guys hit the highest F#-A-D-A-F# arpeggio? I’ve been doing 2 notes per string, B E, F# B, C E... then you can either try and directly move up the same string for a middle...

I’ve heard that Tom Araya would play unplugged live. If that’s true, I now know why.

In my opinion, most of the sound you’re probably wanting is a product of your technique and practice, rather than gear. I’ve spent considerable cash lately trying to get a better tone but all the pedals and gear in the world doesn’t affect my sound like dedicated practice and warmed-up...

Damn I thought I was ahead of the game getting the OC-3, all this OC-5 talk makes me insecure...

Has anyone had an issue not getting an email back from Mr. Demeter? I sent a couple questions his way before I bought the amp months ago, still have not received a response after again reaching out the other day.

Probably. He’s loud and proud. The sound is lovely however. Gotta convince him to let me sound proof his toy shed

You guys rock! Emailed James Demeter about the trim pot schematic, going to spend all day at work reading about HPFs.

Hmm this could be a likely culprit. I’m running the amp with the volume 3/4 up, or 3 o clock

Well shoot, I’m away from the amp currently, where is this trim pot located?

I appreciate all the extremely provoking information from everyone. anyone familiar with Kush Audio? They make the Electra EQ which has a HPF. I was already looking at these for use in recording, it has pretty amazing and drastic effects on drums, and a bassist I enjoy a lot uses it full time...
