A while back I bought an OLP Tony Levin signature Stingray because it was the probably the best Stingray I could afford. I am a huge fan of Tony but I wasn't that crazy about having his face and name on my bass. If it made him some money I'm glad and I really appreciate that he wanted his...

I believe the Markbass super booster pedal has something very much like a "tone knob" called vintage loudspeaker emulation (VLE) but it's a 12 volt pedal

It helps to play super clean and controlled, nothing ringing out but the one note intended. I really loved the sounds I got out of the C4. The user interface was a bit cumbersome and I kept getting random glitches every once in a while that would just ruin the vibe of what I was doing.

Does anyone have experience with this pedal? V-ZERO Guitar Synth Their demo sounds great, but every guitar synth demo sounds great. I'm wondering how it tracks. The tone seems pretty warm and not as harsh and erratic as a lot of other synth pedals.

I'm using an Acoustic Image Clarus head into a Ten2 cabinet. It's smaller than the Eden 112 I had before and has better low end. It's a shame that AI is no more, they made some really nice gear. I usually have pre and master volume below 12:00. It's good to have some extra power available when...

You could also use a regular 34” six string and tune it eadgbe at the 3rd fret

TC Electronics Flashback has a very nice reverse delay.

My AI Ten2 is 25.7 lbs. I can one hand it with the head hanging on one shoulder, bass on the other, and my pedal board in the other hand. But I prefer to take two trips so I can bring a guitar stand and a cup of coffee.

I'm using a camera connector, or something that looks like it. The audio interface has its own power supply. If I plug it in directly the signal goes through the interface but when I use the USB+lightening bolt adapter the signal goes to the iPad's speakers.

The audio interface sounds much better than a line from the headphone jack. However, I can't get both the interface and the external keyboard to function simultaneously. It seems to defer to the keyboard.

I'm not an aficionado of authentic B15 tone but I've gotten pretty good results with the ROG Ginger and the DSM/Humboldt Simplifier. I had the pleasure of playing through an actual B15 once in a studio and my impression is that a pedal just not able to reproduce that feeling in person but could...

I had a 1025x and it was fantastic. I definitely preferred it with flats. There was single coil noise with the bridge pickup but the tone was excellent, super playable action.

No minimum as far as distance. I find the biggest limitation is time. I often have to leave the venue before others or have minimal time between work and gig.

I tend toward amps that are meant to sound like what's put into them and use my pedals to shape my tone. I don't typically use the tone controls on my amp.

My favorite envelope filter was the big old EHX Q-Tron in the steel box. It could be unwieldy and certainly inconvenient but I swear when it was dialed in it was so freaking sensitive and responsive, it was fantastic. I sold it thinking I could find something smaller, true bypass, with a...
