It is! Lacks a tad of dynamism, but very reliable on the other hand.

Oh I absolutely agree. I think most amp like ODs can do a great job at complementing the sound of acoustic guitars. Especially slightly more compressed ones like the Pork. 👋🏻

😅 yeah sorry about that! It’s more a set and forget control imho.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing! I honestly think there are many options more versatile that can do much better job as a low gain drive. But what really matters here is one, do with what you have and two, any sound can be good as long as it matches the style you play.

Yup, I agree, but still not my cup of tea though… 😅🍻

Will check it out and get in contact. Thanks!!!

I haven’t tried the Fuhrmann, looks pretty nice actually, so I can not compare. The compressor is a nice feature on the Sonicake, but keep in mind the BFactory is a preamp. This means that though good, it can not compete with a dedicated compressor pedal when it comes to settings.

@@thewetterbass muito obrigado

Interesting! Will listen to some Rush and pay more attention from now on. 👍

@@thewetterbass Yeah, Geddy Lee has a great tone, very distinctive. John Myung should've tried to emulate Lee's tone, because on many Dream Theater albums the bass sound gets lost in the mix.

@MrClassicmetal @MrClassicmetal mmm… yeah sometimes that happens. OD can definitely help find a better spot in the mix. When it comes to John Myung’s tone, my guess (and experience) is that it’s more a question of feeling the bass rather than listening to it, Also, in general, it depends on how you’re listening to music, how trained your ear is to listen to specific sounds, etc… and when it comes to bass players, it comes down to how you want to hear yourself. So my guess is that John perceives the attack of his playing (high mids and above) as a way to find his spot percussively and hear his playing in the sometimes massive soundstage of the band.

Hi! Please be more specific, cause it’s been a while and I said a lot of things! 😅

On 9V. How do you like it so far?

Right, yes. I think it’s mostly due to the scooping of the sound in Ground mode/voicing. Very Gallien Krueger like… 😉

@thewetterbass Your new bass is rad too man.

Si, tengo un dpfx 2 Loop Blender with Pan & Phase Reverse que permite cambiar la fase de cada loop. www.dpeffects.com/2023/05/2-loop-blender-with-pan-phase-reverse.html

😄 I don’t know about that one! I will check it out.

😂😂😂 yeah… don’t kill the messenger! 🤓🍻

Thank you. As soon as I can sit down and relax, I’ll check your review. As always looking forward to your knowing your opinion on the pedal! 🤘 And the bass… what can I say, I’m biased, it brings a smile to my face every time I play with it.

Hello, the way you describe the mkII is spot on. And about the bass, well yes, looking forward myself to talk about the whys and hows.

Hello! Best for what? As overdrives the soul food is a much lighter and transparent effect with a bit of a mid bump. The Mojomojo is a lot “fuller” sounding and has more body. It can get also more aggressive.

@thewetterbass I have the Soul Food. It has less low end.

I'm thinking about getting the mojomojo or ODR-mini.

The mojomojo is cheap and easy to sell if you don’t like it. Sounds great with bass!!!

Exacte! Excellent drive, simple, efficace. Un poil de dynamisme en peu plus et de vivacité dans les aiguës seraient le bienvenu pour moi. Mais pour ça il y a d’autres options!

😂 ici en Espagne ce sont les Ferrero Rocher, principalmente à partir de l’automne, pendant les fêtes.

Lucky man! Mine was the boss odb-3… stoped using effects until much later because of it! 😂 the EBS is perfect for neophytes and a no brainer for connoisseurs.

I've owned a few Multidrives over my time and moved them on, but I think I had the wrong expectations. I currently use a Multicomp, Billy Sheehan Deluxe Drive and Microbass II, so maybe I need to revisit a Multidrive to take the place of my Ibanez TS9B. How would you say the MD and TS9B compare? Is the MD a little clearer\less low mid?

@jcburn1973 I’d say it’s warmer in general, particularly in the tubes in setting. On flat it’s more even and half way on STD.

I wish it would have been. Until recently, it was the od I told new bass players to buy wether it ' s quite pricy. But you can't sound wrong with it. Now I've got some Blumes in my heart...

@arnoggeddon Blumes is more agressive, but fun, sounds fantastic and is well thought. It has way too much output volume though… I never dial the VOL control over 10:00!!! And that can be a real problem sometimes when you switch on the pedal without checking it first… 💀

I prefer the DB-10 for it’s blend and eq (for drive only). Also the saturation sounds less “sizzly” compared to the DB-02. All in all the BD-10 is a more modern approach to the TS for bass sound.

Hi! To be honest, this detail escaped me completely, so nice that you mention it. At the time I did not feel there was a delay when playing with IR on (and I am quite sensible to that). Do you own this preamp and experienced yourself that delay with between the two signals as you mentioned?

Where are you based and what’s wrong with it?

Get in touch with Flattley Pedals. They will provide a solution for you!

@flattleyguitarpedals4694 hey man - I'm in Australia. I did email you some time ago. You were super helpful, but getting it back to the UK and then getting it fixed at the time was a bit cost prohibitive for me (plus I think it might have been just into early COVID). The pedal works, produces sound eetc.With the blend fully CCW it does sound clean as it should, but as the blend it turned up it doesn't produce drive. It stays nearly clean until the blend is about 1 o'clock, but from there the volume disappears til 3 o'clock, then comes back super distorted. I had forgotten about it until this clip was posted.

My pleasure!

Great question. No, lemon oil will not be enough. Try to find a natural oil for wood floors, they’re usually called “hard” oil and have minerals in them to make them dry faster and be a bit more resistant to abrasion.

@@thewetterbass Ok thanks! I think I have something else like you're talking about.

Ok, maybe better the other way around?: preamp loop for delay, reverb and modulation and drive in parallel loop that you can blend in. The only “bad” thing in this case is that the LPF switch on the parallel loop doesn’t make any sense as you would be killing all the sturated mids and highs… but I think this would be the best option any way! But in your case I would plug a compressor instead of drive in the parallel loop (and the other FX in the preamp loop. Then the LPF would be awesome to add clean compressed lows (or full compressed signal if you don’t use LPF function) to blend in.

@@thewetterbass why would the preamp loop be preferred over the parallel? Also maybe it's a better option to run the od right before the simplifier input? Thinking of tuner -> envelope filter -> comp -> od -> simplifier input -> modulation and time fx in parallel loop -> di out If it helps I play mostly acid and folk rock with some funk to the side, though I play some soul and jazz from time to time, and would love to play ampless since my back tends to work up (I play a sort of heavy p bass)

@emithebee the parallel loop is great for blending in an effect like a drive or anything that makes the bass sound different from it core sound. The preamp loop is in series and comes after the preamp, so in general better for modulation and time based effects.

It is!

Good question! The simple answer is: they all sound different. Some just a little but, some a lot. Also, they all “feel” different.

The moonshine is actually the 'low drive' which was designed for bassists but guitarists preferred it

The only problem is it changes the phase…. Otherwise I would definitely use it on one of my 2 boards where I split the signal in two parallel signals 😕

​@@thewetterbassThat's a shame. I liked the tones I heard here, and I like the fact it has a blend.

@jcburn1973 oh, in series it sounds great on bass as you can hear in the video!

Or 3… 😂

@@aldito7586 uuuh! Nice one!!!

Let us know what you think about it!

@thewetterbass Will do.

Well. It came in the mail. It's in a good state, although the stompswitch needs a decent kick to activate the pedal, so, it's been fairly used. Sound wise, I like it. Into a Joyo California sound, as a dirty boost. Although I have to get used to "depth", it's not a common clean blend, but it does something to the overall sound.

7,000

I write down the number of turns and type of wire I use for every pickup I make and use this data for new projects. Usually my soapbar pickups have a resistance of around 8 to 12K Ohms. Depending on the size of the pickup you have to do more or less turns for the same resistance. But it can be anywhere from 4.000 to 10.000 turns or more!!!
