EHX Riddle/Enigma: I have the Riddle which is the guitar version but IME it has plenty of lowend, if not too much on the LP mode as you have to be careful with the sub bass it can put out. It has attack/decay and start/stop controls so you can fine tune the sweep very precisely, it also...

Bass mixing is very genre dependent, one thing I love about a lot of prog rock bands is they mix the bass very prominently. Eloy is a good example of this:

I scored the Pro Channel II awhile back for a good used price and have been absolutely loving it. I've also got their MPA Gold which is fine for a simple 2 channel mic pre, but the Pro Channel II is a single channel + tube compressor and semi parametric EQ which is a ton of functionality for the...

The Enigma is definitely a good one to consider, I have the Riddle and mainly use it on guitar/keys but honestly it's got plenty of low end on bass as well and can even be too thick on some settings. Having start/stop controls is really nice though for getting the perfect envelope or exp sweep...

It says a lot that in a thread about if 2 bands are in the same league there are a ton of people making generalizations about why they think one is the best (and it seems to be more Zep fans from what I've seen) Seems pretty clear it's a regional thing for one, if you grew up in the US chances...

Apparently Captain Beyond did a reunion tour in 2017: Pretty awesome, they played with 3 guitarists even to try and fully capture the complex songs live

Anyone mention Captain Beyond yet? They're another great spinoff group from DP with the singer from the first 3 albums: Captain Beyond - Wikipedia "The original line-up for Captain Beyond included former Deep Purple singer Rod Evans, former Johnny Winter drummer Bobby Caldwell, former Iron...

People love Zep because they had a very defined sound, and aside from some of their more unique songs their music tends to have a distinct feel. Deep Purple were way more eclectic though overall I'd say, fans from different parts of the world will prefer different lineups and it's not like...

Here's 2 amazing fusion bands playing together (T-Square & Dimension) with a dual bass off (as well as dual guitar and sax solos but here's the bass solo) For some reason it's hard to find the video of the concert T Square did with 3 bassist, pretty sure it was their 35th anniversary DVD...

Often times it's a specific pedal causing most of the noise so it helps to go through and test them, an easy way is to start in the middle instead of testing them one by one. Just plug right into the middle pedal instead of the first and if there's noise then it's one of the pedals after and if...

Here's a performance with 2 bassists and a sweet dual solo: They've also done some shows with 3 bassists as well as 3 drummers (4 counting the percussionist)

Which rack out of curiosity? RNC? Alesis Nanocomp? I use the latter for studio comp/limiting and love it for being so affordable, been curious to see how a nicer rack comp would compare. Recently got the ART Pro Channel which has a tube compressor and it does sound much better though I still use...

I was in a similiar boat for years, got a multi track mixer that for some reason wouldn't work with either of my windows 7 computers so ended up using a decade+ old mac and garageband for awhile. That was fine initially though I realized garageband was pretty bloated and would crash the mac...

Did you see the newer Plasma Coil version with even more octave modes? It can do some out of this world sounds, they also made a Plasma Rack and modular eurorack: :drool: Wish I could afford them, hopefully eventually. That plasma coil might be my next pedal if I can sell some gear as...

It's pretty incredible, feels like something ehx/moog would have made. It works great as a typical reverb but it has a very unique feel to it on the different modes, very inspiring similiar to trying a unique effect like a wah or filter for the first time. Knowing GamechangerAudio they are...
