I guess I really like MXR. LOL

The MXR bass stuff really sounds nice and plays really well together.

 

That's a great setup. Without trying to derail anything, do you mind if I ask about your placement & use of the preamp & especially the micro amp: what do they do for you/how are you using them? How does that preamp vary from the M80 (I have the M80 and use it for achieving a certain tonal variation when desired)? Just curious about how you use these 'tools' as your setup almost matches my identically with some brand & placement variation. Eager to hear & learn.

 

Cool - thank you

 

Why not try the preamp where the micro amp is and use the clean boost at the front?

 

armybass,
That phaser 95 has me drooling (as does the chorus, but I already have one made by another manufacturer). Do you find you get to use it much?
Edit: how about the Flanger effect in the Chorus? Do you get to use it that much?

 

Great board. I own, or have owned most of that MXR stuff puctured, except for the phaser. Like all of them, only the fuzz didn't quite work for me, kept the BlowTorch instead, which doesn't necessarily sound much better but is more versatile. Which reminds me to look for the Bass Distortion, I really liked that one. MXR is really good, some of the super-boutique pedal leave me cold, while these just deliver.

 

I don't get to use it that much, but as long as you're not looking for rocket ship sounds, it's pretty decent.

 

JimmyM,
I saw another thread 'New Ampeg Pedals' you were given the Ampeg Liquifier to try out by Ampeg. The price point of this pedal is good (even in Canada!). Have you had a chance to review yet? Any idea if it will move into flanger territory?
Sorry to derail the MXR love thread. I do own the M87, covet the BCD and have toyed with the idea of getting the Phase 95.

 

I have not been given the Liquifier or Opto Comp yet. AR guy knows I want them, but they're waiting on a shipment. Hopefully any day now.
