Trondheim SkarBassOne

Not at all, just wondering since there are three threads on the pedal already and you posted in one a couple months ago. Just wondering what starting a new thread accomplishes. Looking forward to reading your impressions though.
 
I got the pedal tonight, fast shipping. It sounds pretty good and you can get a lot of good sounds out of it quickly but there is no overall on/off switch, just a drive on/off and everything else remains on all the time. Interesting concept of how the mid and balance between bass and treble work together. Like most pedals, the LED is bright and you can't see the knob markings. But overall build quality (knobs are PCB mounted, not mounted on the housing) along with the lack of an on/off switch and this pedal is really meant for the studio, not the road. Which brings me to the summary, good idea, pedal sounds good but probably should have been a DAW plugin instead of a physical pedal. The price is kinda high for what you get. With this glowing review, I'm killing my chances of flipping it so I guess it will just go back in the box and on the shelf for some future date but I don't need drive so I'll probably just use my Cali76 -> Noble DI instead. I keep looping back to Cali76 / Noble DI. It really is maybe the best bass sound unless you need Darkglass Djent. And no, I'm not paid by Origin Effects or Noble, my praise for them is free.
 
Not much talk about this one, but recently got one.
Put it in the fx loop of a hx stomp instead of my usual setup of a seymour duncan compressor and an eq2.

The controls feel a little unusual but simple and really effective.
Clean/compressed side sounds great, punchy and clear. Overdrive side is good on low gain settings, above noon I couldn’t quite get it where i wanted. But there’s always a strong bottom to the drive side.
Havn’t tried it loud at rehearsals yet, so will be interesting to hear if the drive side works in the band mix.

Good pedal BUT... Plastic shaky pots, bad knobs (no marker/pointer), lots of compression and F#©KING NOISE !!!

Put your headphones on and go listen carefully to all the demos... I'm disappointed, it was promising...
Please Mr. Jon D, fix it, please !

May the Groove be with you.

I've had disappointing experiences with pedals before, but not a - copy and paste the same message into every forum about that one pedal - level of disapointment, especially considering every person's setup is different and ymmv and all that.
 
Electrical wiring, gear/equipment, cables, basses, shielding... I checked everything !

It's not a question of setup, configuration or settings, this pedal, my pedal has a real noise problem.

Most similar analog products don't make noise, not as much !

I'm sorry to say this because unfortunately it's a small company with a great initiative...

I am the first disappointed I was so delighted...

The pedal is expensive. It seemed important to me to share with the TB members... We only had to make just one thread !

However, if you can deal with the noise, it's a very good all-in-one pedal !

I may have received a bad unit...


May the Groove be with you.
