Malekko Chicklet

I don't know...I guess I can make it sound more like a room than I can with spring and plate. And probably because I got used to it early on since Eventide was sweeping the studio world when I got into playing gigs seriously.
 
I still don't understand reverb on bass. In fact, I think it's the only effect type that I feel this way toward.

Somebody disprove my ignorance with an awesome example via YouBoob, Last.fm, or even Soundclick. Silvouple. :)

Right there with ya, Jimmy. I've had to buy and sell a couple times to figure out that I just don't like spring reverbs. But a big spacious hall verb can do amazing things to songs. When done well, it can really give you that feeling of playing in a small club.
 
I just orderred one from Tunnel Vision yesterday (they were the only store out of 3 that had it in stock). I heard there were some issues concerning a bass cut that could be fixed through a mod from Malekko. I also heard that the bass mod wasn't needed as they come that way stock now. Does anyone have any info on this? Did this start after a specific serial number?
 
FYI

Great demo. Think I finally found the sound I want. :hyper:
The only thing that's bothering me is that "more bass mod".

Did Malekko do that for you? Did it become stock after you did it?
Cuz I don't really feel comfortable buying something that will rob my lows. Kinda don't plan on putting it through a blender.
:help:

Not to totally resurrect this thread, but did you ever find out if this was the case?
