@howard, how would one of these get in the way of the electric bass? I’m thinking, if you were playing something like Down In The Park, (BTW, my daughter and I just need to shoot the video for the FF version ) would it just make the bottom end sound awfully muddy?
AFAiCT the drone is basically just an oscillator that tracks the input, kind of like an octaver but persisting. Could probably do some cool things with it (especially things like adding a second tone a fifth apart or something, really common thing to do in synthesizers).
Though honestly the BB734’s sounds just fine boosting and cutting too. Still, I love that they recreated the 1200S preamp. That would be one I probably bought.
The chorus/flange is a Clone Theory clone. For this I would just go straight to EHX and buy the current Bass Clone, it’s great. Manny demos it with a nice Hooky bassline here
I’m actually still in the market for a chorus. The preamp, while really awesome… I’ve already got 4 of them. The thing that grabbed me with it though is that the SGT has the footswitch to turn off the on board preamp, which makes me go…
Check out the Bass Clone! Inexpensive and yet probably my favorite bass chorus. The crossover switch is a nice feature. I like this one better than the Julia, in fact.
Needed to play in Drop C for a new tune for our band (QOTSA). Rather than doing it manually I fished around in the Helix HX One and found the Poly Capo pedal.
Set it to -4 and it sounds perfectly fine. Way easier to activate that pedal for one song. Don’t know how it compares with the Digitech Drop but it good enough for now.
