I just totally revamped my live go to the board bass rig.
The live bass tone was absolutely phenomenal in my ear mix and out front. Our live sound man was floored with the results (Large Church).
This combination definitely hit it out of the park.
I used a J Bass going into the Revolt using the Opus as Cab/Power amp Sim .
Next week we will see how my Alembic does with this combination.

Great to hear @pbass62! 😍 Let us know how you get on next week as well!

Do you need the Revolt? What about just using an Opus? I’m a doublebass player and I like how tubes affect the sound of piezos but I also need a parametric eq, but I don’t want to bring tons of gear to my gigs… ;)
Thanks for reaching out. The combo of both devices will certainly meet your needs as you will have an analog / tube front-end and a digital back-end with the option to load impulse responses if you so desire. With that said, a Reload II and an EQ pedal in the loop might serve you equally as well. I personally have both devices on my small board as I like the analog front end with the convenience of DynIR, add to this a compressor at the front of the chain and I find that is all I need. Let me know if you have any other questions, I'm always happy to weigh in!

I don't use an upright anymore, but if you are a mostly "set it and forget it" type of player, I think just having the Opus would work for you.

It has a 5-band parametric EQ with HPF and LPF.

Minor adjustments on the fly are not too terribly difficult, or if you have a Midi setup, the sky could be the limit.

The Q is set and I don't know if it would be narrow enough to work at a notch filter - perhaps @Ross Davies could chime in on that.

I have no idea how it would behave with Arco playing either - my mind kind of attempts to see potentials for gear not behaving the way we think it should.

Thanks for looping me in. The Q is not narrow enough for a notch filter on the OPUS as it is more focused on Tone Shaping as opposed to anything super surgical. Let me know if you need any more info!
