Boss GT 1000Core

I wonder what I’m doing wrong then....:thumbsdown:

MM Stingray > comp > bas octave....nothing else. With or without comp same issue, even in the higher notes...wobble wobble...

I don't have a Boss GT1000 Core, so I might be off base here but.. you understand the difference between monophonic and polyphonic pitch effects?

Monophonic will only track one note at a time, where polyphonic will allow for multiple notes at once i.e. chords.

If your muting technique needs some work, or if you're trying to play more than one note at once, a monophonic effect will lose tracking, where a polyphonic pitch effect will be more forgiving and not lose tracking due to multiple notes ringing out.

Just reading the last few posts on the topic it sounds to me like the "Octave Bass" is a monophonic effect... and once you're comfortable with it, I highly recommend running only the -1 octave signal from it and playing around from D2 and up.

Pardon me if I missed something there. The Boss OC-3 has both a poly and monophonic mode.. i tend to use the Monophonic with just the -1 octave. Be careful with that one.. i've seen it cause some crazy speaker excursion.

Do MM Stringray's have high output pickups? How does it sound if you cut the volume on the bass, giving the unit a cooler input signal. In the Input Settings you can cut the Input Level as well. Just a thought.

Yes I guess the output is is pretty hot. I will try this this evening and shall also pull my Fender Precision from under the dust to see if that changes anything.

Don’t know about my technique but I have no problems using the same with the OC-3 and the GT-1B :);)

The Octave bass is indeed monophonic and I use the mono mode with the OC-3

Another thing worth considering is the Main Output Level Select -10dBu +4dBu. Apparently -10dBu is for an unbalanced consumer level signal, and +4 is for a balanced line level signal. I'm assuming that we're connecting instruments to the GT1K/Core, that it should be set to -10dBu?

Right on. :) I'll just mosey on out of here. lol. I was merely glancing at the GT-1000 Core and saw the most recent posts and hoped it was that simple. Hope I didn't come off as presumptuous or anything. That's usually the #1 culprit for me when I lose tracking with a monophonic effect.

The bass Octave definitely tracks better with my precision but lowering the volume of the stingray or omitting the comp in front does not help. I suspect it might be the extra rattles in the highs of the Stingray as the poly mode of the general octave tracks rather well. Still strange though that the GT-1B and OC-3 do this better. Anyway, apart from this, I love the GT1K :)

Here's a good one for y'all....

I have a Digitech "Luxe" pedal, which works as a detuner. It's an alternative to chorus, which produces a second signal that is -50 to +50 cents.

Any idea how I would reproduce this in the GT-1000?

The Pitch Shifter effect has a parameter that fine tunes the interval -50 to +50 cents. So you set the interval to 0, and use the effect level to blend in the effect. There's also the Overtone effect that has a Detune parameter for a value of 0-100. It can be applied to an upper/lower/both harmonic.

That’s a nice looking board. How did you get on with the MC6?

I've been powering this mini board for two days now. About 10hrs of playing and so far so good using this little Voodoo Lab block. the Hyper luminal, B7k and Core all pull a good amount of juice and there's been no issue. I have a big boy voodoo if this couldn't handle it but I think I'm good to go.

I don't usually write much, i just enjoy reading the posts but after pretty much reading every post on this thread i decided that the Core was the better option for me over the the Helix Stomp. No bluetooth is a bit of a bummer which i only found about after i'd ordered it but i don't think it would have changed anything. It finally arrived today so i'm looking forward to having a play around with it on the weekend and setting up for the next rehearsal. Thanks to everyone for helping me with the decision.

Generally (and there's always exceptions to any rule) MM Stingrays have a very low output pickups, but the Active Circuit boosts the low output and balances the impedance to regular humbucker levels. It's be design and it's part of how the MM tone is generated. I think Lakland's approach is to use much higher output pickups into a lower gain active circuit. It creates a slightly different tone.
