Walrus Audio Descent on Bass?

[ibassforhim]

Has anyone had the opportunity to try the new Walrus Audio Descent on Bass guitar yet?
From what I can tell this is a Bluesky + micropog with multiple presets.

I am currently using a BlueSky to create my ambient pad sounds on bass it does really well but its not as versatile or have as many presets as the Descent.

But the big question remains, can the Descent handle the lows of the bass or does it squash them?

I have been searching the interwebs and even emailed and facebook messaged Walrus but they have yet to get back to me.

My guitarist bought one when they launched and has promised me that I could try it out sometime soon........I'm afraid he'll never give it up now.

Just got off the phone with walrus. First off, very nice guy who was very helpful. He said that all of their pedals are designed with both bass and guitar in mind so that is really cool. He has not seen or heard any bass reviews or demos with the descent but that he was going to look into it and get back to me. I will post any updates here!

Juan from pedals and effects has posted a pic of one. I am not sure if he did a demo of it yet but I am sure he will soon.

I had one and it did not work well on bass at all. The volume would drop out, some of the settings were totally unusable and it just generally did not like bass. I tried on a passive and an active and had the same results. IMO there's a million better reverbs for bass out there.
