Forgive me if this is already been asked. I don’t have time to read all 22 pages of posts. Does the elite allow you to bypass the pedal easily? Or do you have to do things like make a preset with the blend knob all the way down or stomp on multiple footswitches at the same time or that kind of...

I rarely have even that long to practice these days. I stay busy between work and running three kids to practice and games. I tend to blast through a few scales to get warmed up (no more than 5 minutes) and then I pull up a playlist I made on YouTube. Making the playlist can be done anytime. I...

It’s not AI but you can download free or buy drum midi packs pretty cheap these days that sound human because they were made by a real drummer playing an electric kit. I use several of the ggd midi packs. They even have a specific pack for fills. I use those paired with ggd one kit wonder...

If you’re definitely recording a di I would purposely avoid microphones with super low frequency range. Go with something like a trusty Shure sm58. It’ll compliment the di because with its limited frequency range down low you won’t have the phase issues you can get combining a kick drum or...

I’ve owned three Warwick thumb basses over the years. They are known for being neck heavy. My solution was a wide strap with suede and a metal wireless pack. Attached the strap lower down closer to the bass instead of way up on the back like some folks do.

Have played the Milestone in Charlotte. Actually first played it was back in 2001 I want to say, it’s kind of cool to have played the same stage as Nirvana. But it’s a really small place. I really liked playing the venue called The Underground there though. Really nice. Great stage and PA...

I’m an army brat from Chicago. My wife is an army brat from Cali. I love living in NC but there are definitely some trade offs. As an outsider you pretty much need a college education to thrive here. If you’re a tradesmen you will struggle here unless your name is on the company truck. Even some...

I’m a D-800 owner. In all honesty I probably wouldn’t buy a micro size mesa head because my subway D-800 only weighs like 5 lbs and it’s relatively small and easy to carry in its bag. For me to be interested it would have to be a different format. Like a subway di that also has a small power...

Curious to hear what other source audio c4 owners have to say about how this compares I like my c4 more than any synth pedal I’ve tried so far but I would prefer a pedal that doesn’t require a phone or pc.didnthey improve the footswitch on the mxr? My bass octave deluxe pops often when I kick it...

cali76cb compressor into a tech 21 q strip. The q strip is pretty underrated in my opinion. I use it for bass, I run my guitar sans amp into it for further control when playing guitar, I even run sounds that make sense in mono from my synths into it. It’s more along the lines of a JHS colourbox...

I ran into a bit of the option paralysis problem with multis. It’s not so much a digital vs analog thing, I actually do use some digital pedals. I even still have an hx stomp laying around I need to get on it and sell. But I did notice over the years that the limitations of standalone pedals...

I still have mine. With my main bass it tracks all the way down to f# with no issues. I use it with growl off and blend the clean and girth octaves together. When I want more of the oc-2 synthy vibe I use my source audio c4. I got tired of doing the 2-4 pedal synth sound thing. The bod tracks...

I use the tech 21 q strip. Versatile enough to do what I need without being overly complicated to the point of causing option paralysis. My second suggestion would be the source audio eq2. The source audio is particular nice because it has multiple presets so if you have multiple basses you can...

I have the cali76 compact bass. It ended my search for the perfect compressor for me. Saw some posts about it depends what you play through, tube amp or not. I can’t say anything about that because I don’t currently own a tube amp. My amp is a mesa subway d-800, but I more often play ampless...
