Managed to spend some quality time, about an hour this morning, with the H9. I even tried using the tuner again. No problem with tuning, but I can't figure out exactly how I'm supposed to step on both switches while standing.

I worked up a version of the stock Shimmer patch that I can fade in with exp. It works great playing along to a couple of recordings of tunes where I need it. Live check Monday night with that band. A question, before I RTFM. Does anyone know if the H9 can be set to let the tail of a patch ring when you hit the bypass? Either by patch or universally? I'll have to see if I can scour the manual this afternoon at work. I want to let a high pad-like sound fade naturally while I go back to straight bass. I can rock back the expression pedal, but I'd prefer it not to be that abrupt.

I finally got down to finding a nice thick chorus, too. I can add more effect, and more depth with the pedal. I'm now A/B'ing phaser settings with my Phase 90 to see how close I can get.

Activate the tuner with MIDI. :D

For the Factor series, when you go into the menu, there are different bypass options. There is true bypass, DSP bypass, and DSP+FX bypass. To do trails you want DSP+FX. It's a universal option, I don't think there is a by-patch option. (For this kind of stuff, I assume everything on the H9 is the same as the Factor series.)
 
I'm with @Somnambulance here. I really wanted and tried to love my Baby Thundaa, but I just can't get a single tone I like from it. It was the same before with Bass Big Muff and then Pickle Pie B. The last one I'll be willing to try at some point will be the SUF ones. Right now I am completely stoked by my Woodchipper. That thing is absolutely amazing.

Interesting. If I think of my favourite fuzzes to date, they have been ones with blends - TAFM, Attack Goat. I liked the TFR (unblended), but it didn't persist on my board. Now, the OxFuzz had a blend, but it wasn't really my thing, I could never coax a good tone out of it. Here's to hoping that the blended Silver Rose is the beast that I'm counting on it to be!

Every time I answer an H9 question based on my experience with the Factor series I feel like a hipster.

TRUE STORY: I wanted to make a meme to accompany this post, got sidetracked on a link where they identified the "hipster barista" guy and wow...did he ever confirm any and all stereotypes while trying to fight them.

I'm so indecisive though. My indecisivness usually builds until I can't take it anymore and buy a flex.

On one hand, I want the Kilobyte because it's pretty cool. But on the other, I want the Raster because I'll finally have a Detroit made pedal, and it does normal delay along with crazyness. And much crazier than the Kilobyte at that.

Thanks! I'll get it sorted tomorrow morning.

Even though my favourite bass is the Mustang with TI flats, I have to play that with my PBass with TI Flats. Just takes it to an ironic level :)

I need to send you another Afterneath patch. I got a much better one with the Resonator algo

@Mosfed has an Afterneath H9 patch?

EDIT: Cross-post, got that answered...

I don't know why Knobs can't do 1/2 guitar, 1/2 bass demos. Guitarists want to know as well that something keeps low end...

I think he/they are working on doing bass too. When he posted it on ILF he said "Y'know, I've been meaning to work some bass into my demos from day one. The reason I haven't is that there aren't really any settings that "favour" bass over guitar, so I just keep it consistent, and it would take too long to do a dedicated video for bass."
