    I would love to see a bassist pair this with an Earthquaker Arpanoid. I think it would be an interesting sound since those old synths had arpeggiaters. 🤔

    Review that bass! I've seen it at one of my local Guitar Centers here in the Atlanta area but have yet to play one. Every time I see one, I like it more & more just based on the looks of it. It's got more of a pearl or metallic look to it in person.

    i've got one of these and sounds great with my dingwall BUT in passive mode, when i switch the bass to active mode its a different story, the pedal sounds weird and it doesnt produce the same sound, i have to adjust the preamp on the pedal? i hear no difference doing that.

  • @h-dawg969

    Alright?
    If this pedal was placed AFTER a loop pedal, can I exit the sound of the riff as it’s looping round n round?
    I jam Dawless with drum machine n synths, so if I could play with my bass loop live that would be sick!

      Jacopo Tersigni We don't have any experience with the guitar version but my best guess would be that the Bass version would sound better on guitar than the Guitar version would on bass.

      Gonna sound like quite a dick, but it's probably your playing. For instance hard attack often gives bad tracking and most bassists attack way harder than necessary (was really guilty of this myself). Improve your technique and this pedal will probably be awesome for ya

    Great demo. Thanks. Doesn anyone have thoughts on how it possible to achieve a similar effect as at the beginning of the video with another combination of pedals? I already have a fuzz and an octave pedal so I was wondering if there's some way to get that effect without buying the Micro Synth and having lots of overlap...

    That’s what players want to see if it can be used for!...in the real world of Bass role in a band/gig situation.
    ☝🏾The point is to get buyers to see if they need this effect in their arsenal/ pedalboard for performances!!...🎛🎶🎸✨...it sounds fine but can it be tweaked to Synth Bass perfection?!!...live with an Amp!..🤔
