NPD DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim

[EMoneySC2]

I use a Tasty Blender V2 from Rock On Audio and currently feed my OCSD into it. I originally bought the Tasty Blender to add adjustable limiters to my IEMs.

Woah - TIL about that! I may need to add that to my shopping list.

Just pre ordered the Omnicab mini!!!

My question is, why don’t more bassists use cab sims? I’m sure many bassists use drive/distortion to FOH...do they realise how nasty overdrive sounds direct to PA?? What am I missing here; Omnicabsim should be on every pedalboard...

Even without drive it's fantastic!

Indeed!

I have the OmniCabSim, and also a Mooer Radar and a Nux Solid Studio (IR-based cab simulators)... they are very useful and I'm happy with alll 3 for different reasons. For recording, I'd favour the Mooer or Nux probably because they're handy to integrate with the PC, using the software editor etc... But the OmniCabSim is not going anywhere! Mine is permanently on my pedalboard. I use three different overdrives, and the OmniCabSim is super easy to tweak live if I need to and makes my overdriven bass sound like a great overdriven bass, instead of like an angry swarm of bees in a can like it used to sound before I found it.

I would love the mini version, but it is getting ridiculous having already 3 boxes that can do the job... The 'gain' control sounds like something I would love to have on my OmniCabSim... uffff... want!!!

I have tried my OCSD in every way I could find. Before the amp, after a THDI using the DI, but by far the best sound was using it in the effects loop of my Demeter HBP-1 and using the Demeter's DI. Then into the recording gear using IEM's.

YMMV of course.

this site continues to batter my budget...mini ordered. I have a Metro 16 board that is almost done, I think this will fit and finish it off.

For now

OCSD ordered on 11/22. Daniel just confirmed that it is already on the way! (Thanks again, Daniel!)

Now the waiting begins...

Hey, guys . Read this entire thread and just received my OCSD .

Noticed in general it "tightens" up the sound, but that I lose some "openness" (it's hard to describe sounds) .

One problem I'm having is that no matter what setting I use, higher notes (essentially anything on the G string) sounds VERY trebly, almost sibilant when I'm using a pick. I have to turn it off.

Is what I've described normal?

Check this excellent thread :
DSM Noisemaker OmniCabSim Deluxe : knobs and frequency response
You'll notice a small boost in the 3-6k if you want to extend the high frequencies. Didn't worked well with my setup (Zon Sonus which has a lot of presence there, too much of a good thing for my taste) so I sold the pedal. Otherwise, this pedal was perfect, totally understand all he satisfied users of this pedal.

Thanks! I'll check out the thread .

That's weird, sounds like its clipping or its clipping the device after it.

Read earlier that DSM recommends using a preamp . My new Olympic preamp came in amd has solved ALL problems. The OCSD and the Olympic make a perfect combo.

Loving my tone .

The Olympic looks awesome. Do you use the cab sims AND the OCSD? Or do you turn them off?

 

[Shindig73]

Just the OCSD. Tried the cab sims (which people also rave about), but didn't find it added anything to what the OCSD already offered.

Of course, I *just* got both pedals, so still a lot of experimentation going on .
