    OPFXS V-Zero?

    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.

    TonePrint Editor missing template for Flashback 2?

    I guess the thread title says it all. I just picked up a TC Electronic Flashback 2 Delay and to my chagrin there is no sign of a template for it in the TonePrint Editor. I don't get it. They're advertising capabilities that can only be accessed through the template (ie tap tempo). Does anyone...

    looper (phrase sampler) options w/sound on sound or tape loop emulation

    I've had a couple pedals that do fantastic sound on sound looping, the Boss DD-20 and the Hardwire DL-8. They have very natural tape like decay and are spectacular for Frippertronic soundscapes. I have recently been using the Keeley Eccos which does this quite well with the looper functionality...

    defretting yamaha bb434

    I have this lovely BB434 and have been thinking of defretting it. I asked Yamaha's customer support and they said the frets are glued. I understand a lot of companies are gluing instead of setting their frets into the fingerboard. So am I right in thinking this makes it even easier to defret? I...

    Pedals w/DI should have fx loops

    I’ve noticed a lot of preamp pedals with DI’s and am always turned off when there’s no fx loop. I generally want my preamp/eq/tone stack/dirt before a delay, modulation, reverb, or looper but so many of these pedals don’t work that way. What’s up with that?

    eq pedal recommendations

    I'm contemplating getting an eq pedal. I've been getting good results with an eq/compression algorithm on the H9 but want to free it up to do other things. Ideally I'd like something inexpensive and small. I've noticed the Eno EQ-7, Staxx Bass EQ, and Caline CP-73. Does anyone have experience...

    connecting iPad to effects chain

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm using synth apps on my iPad and wanting to run them into my effects chain, mostly the looper. I've tried couple different approaches. 1) An 1/8" to 1/4" adapter is problematic, losing some high end and introducing some distortion. 2) I also tried...

    Piezo noise?

    I just got an Ibanez UB805 electric upright bass with their aerosilk piezo pickups and I am having noise issues. Lots of hum, gets worse as I touch the strings. Has anyone else run into this, or is it normal behavior for these pickups? It doesn't change when I turn the volume or tone knobs.

    mxr mini iso brick

    I've been thinking about getting a power supply for my board to replace a one spot daisy chain and the wall wart for an H9. The H9 wants a positive ground and the advertising for the mini iso brick says it can handle both negative and positive. There's a video on Sweetwater showing the mini iso...

    power supplies

    Hey folks, I've been making do with a One Spot for years but I'm thinking of upgrading and I know I'm behind the curve on this. What's the deal with Mooer or Caline isolated power supplies? Are they for real? I could do away with my one spot and the wall wart for my H9 if I had 6 isolated...

    Hey folks, I have this Hofner travel bass, 30” scale, tuned low to high G, D, A, E. It has a single humbucker in the bridge position.

    30” cello tuning

    Hey folks, I’m looking for a looper with decay or as pigtronix calls it “loop aging.” I had a tc electronic ditto x4 but found the decay function unnatural sounding.

    Microbass ii drive channel noise

    I recently bought an EBS microbass ii from the classifieds and it has developed a nasty crackly static kind of noise in the drive channel. It was somewhat intermittent and seemed to wear off sometimes. I had concluded that it was due to being next to an electric baseboard heater so I moved my...

    Sans amp clones?

    So I'm just curious, has anyone heard of sansamp/tech21 clones other than Behringer? I mean, there are billions of tube screamers, muffs, ocds, etc. but I've never heard of sansamp clones/variants other than Behringer. Does Tech 21 have super bionic patents?
