Double Bass Korg pandora on EUB

based on having many EUBs over the years, and owning a Pandora 3b, I would say that a solid bodied EUB like a NSD WAV or NXT ( or Ergo, Bsx, Kydd etc) would work pretty well. Solid bodied instruments would track OK with the Pandora, but I think success would be less reliable with hollow bodied EUBs like the Eminence. My only problem with the Pandora was that I had a difficult time getting a nice sound out of my amp, but that is a different concern. God luck- JS
 
I'm going to be trying it out (NS WAV4 -> Pandora PX5D) sometime soon. My hope is to get some nice EQ and a little reverb from the Pandora. I've been using a Boss GT10-B, which works well but it's a bit bulky.

Some potential issues:
  • Can it do a good EQ and reverb simultaneously? (haven't explored creating custom patches yet)
  • Can it handle WAV4 piezos (really high impedance)? I know it works but I haven't taken the time to see if it works well. Might have to put a preamp ahead of the Pandora.
  • Power - the PX5D can be powered over USB, but not from a traditional 9V pedal supply, so I'll need a 9V->5V convertor or an extra power supply.

Might be a few weeks before I get around to this though, since we're getting ready to move.
