Origin Effects BASSRIG

[sunbeast]

I don't think you'd like the SVT one, knowing your preferences. The Black Panel can get super dirty if you want, but it has the nice clean vintage amp sound too. There's no way you'd get a B15 sound out of the SVT one though. It's too "SVT scooped".

An SVT is a midrange machine unless you intentionally dial in a scoop with the EQ or engage the Ultra-Lo switch (which engages a deep mid scoop). I haven't heard any clips of the Super Vintage that suggest it has a scoop built in (and it doesn't seem to offer the Ultra-Lo option found on most Ampegs). A B-15 and SVT should sound pretty similar set flat (both use a James-style tonestack for Bass/Treble that is mostly flat set at noon), though the B-15 cabinet obviously is a big part of its midrange-forward reputation.

On the other hand, a Fender tonestack like the '64 utilizes has a mild slope mid-scoop at most settings- it's what gives bass amps with that kind of tonestack a generally clear but round tone (there is also a treble boost at most settings that can extend into the high-mids). The closest you can get to dialing out that middle-mid scoop is with Bass/Treble at zero and Mid cranked. The cabinets originally used with Bandmasters/Bassman amps with bass were pretty mid-centric and so you could probably balance out the spectrum to some degree using the cab-sim.

So I'm running my SV end of chain, trying to replace my tone hammer with it. What I've been doing is using a harmonic booster as the "drive" button the box should've had in order to get the breakup but have a clean channel. Band mates complained about it being too "boomy" in the in ears, not sure how it sounds FOH. Not sure if I'm sold on this one yet.

Too boomy? Not able to dial out that with the bass EQ?

I wish the cab sim was available on the amp out too. Other than that it seems perfect. Going to get one as soon as I can

I can dial it out, but then it lacks girth. Been trying using the low-cut and then adding back in bass, but haven't been on in ears since. Will report back.

Is there any eq happening from what ever is sending your ears signal? I haven't found it boomy at all and I've never used the low cut switch.

Think the ears are pre-eq, but I could be wrong.

It is a little bassy*** in my room, for what that's worth. Could be circuit variation. What other pedals are you running and what bass?

High ass filter?

 

[Jon Muir]

High ass filter?

Bahahaha. I used to run a HPF, don't anymore. Don't think that's the issue.

 

[Jon Muir]

My level is down so not to clip or drive the mic pre, and the treble pot is cut slightly since I mostly use a pick. The illustrated example is perfect for fingering.

This is what I should've tried. This sound is awesome.

So, if you are using this inline with other pedals, and using the amp out to connect (I would like it before the Chorus), are you only able to use the amp controls, or are those in addition to all the other controls? I'm using a Shift Line Olympic at the end of the chain for DI, with Chorus into the effects loop, to fatten up the sound and use the Cab Sims that can be changed. Wanting to possibly replace or add to the Master Effects 300 and use it for clean, and the Origin for driven. Tell me this will work so I can spend more money.

The Manuals do a great job of detailing the actions of all knobs and any interrelated functions.

Have you ever tried the Olympic with guitar? In very interested to hear how it goes.

When all else fails, read the manual! Walked myself right into that one... so it's post drive, this thing seems really flexible, thank you.

Just bass.

I think of it and use it more as my "amp." I've got a drive pedal covering my dirt needs. I've heard pros and cons for using wet effects in front of vs in the effects loop of an amp in the guitar world. I think wet effects would work fine in front of the bassrig.

Not if you want to use the overdrive sound of the Bassrig and also delays and reverbs. In that case you could bypass the pedal? Or do as you do and use the bassrig as a clean amp. But I think most people buy them for the dirt sounds. Too bad there is no effect loop on these boxes.

Yeah. It will be perfect if there's FX Loop and Headphones Out.
I guess in future they might do like a Revivaldrive with both sides, and add in those 2 above functions...

Does anyone know if the DI output of those units have a good transformer - like the Jensen transformer of Radial JDI? My main concern is unwanted ground loop noise, etc. I asked Origin as well, but maybe one of you knows the answer.

 

[epoxo57]

As hot as you want.
With the Output setting in this shot, I have the gain on the mic pre set approx 5dB lower than I do when using a Radial JDI (passive fender Jbass). I guess you could say it's at unity with the JDI right there.
Of course, if I increase the pedals Drive or eq, the DI output gets hotter. Overall I find it very easy to manage both in the pedal and mixer, without having to bother the mic pre gain more than once.

Thanks! I had a "duh!" moment when I figured out the Output probably controls that.....
