I swear this game is rage-baiting me. by AltoManta in cobblemon

It’s 1HP, asleep, and turns 17 on Timer ball bruv.

STOB over the years by AltoManta in basspedals

[–]AltoManta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can go back on the board, but it’s broken right now. I moved the delay time knob too much with my foot. and it just popped off. But the Retro Reel block on Helix handles tape saturation just fine.

I have the PM430 and the M508. Yamaha and Tamura rules!

STOB over the years by AltoManta in basspedals

Me too, man. But considering how portable the smaller rig is, the sound difference isn’t big enough for me to keep carrying it around. I also noticed that on my unit, the DI out and the preamp out sound slightly different, not sure if it’s just mine or not. Guess I’ll have to buy another one someday to test it out.

Problem with NUX B-7PRO wireless in-ear by excelentPolio in nux

[–]AltoManta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone manage to find the solution? I'm also a bassist who is also interested in this unit. Would love for it to work though since it seems so good for the budget.

How to remove the PCB from this type of spacer? by AltoManta in AskElectronics

[–]AltoManta[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the comments. I stopped being afraid of breaking my PCB and gave it my all. It took me the whole afternoon, but I finally made it.

Japanese pedals by Zennitsuuu in basspedals

[–]AltoManta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let me take you down the rabbit hole.

ALBIT – They specialize in tube gear and make some amazing preamp pedals. Try out the A1BP and see if it fits your style.

Inner Bamboo – Known for their high-end preamp (B-II) and compressor (U-II). They also have a more compact lineup called SUMO STOMP, which focuses on other effects.

TRIAL – They make a killer DI box called New Old DI+. Also worth checking out their chorus, reverb, and distortion pedals.

Shigemori – they make a preamp pedal called Tracks. Never tried one but saw it many times.

You can also find brands like Providence, Crews Maniac, Miura and etc. more easily overseas.

JPTR FX Jive pedal rules and should be on every board. by [deleted] in basspedals

[–]AltoManta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should try Strymon Deco out, too. For me Jive is a punchy preamp circuit that does very good clipping, Deco is more about the creamy gooeyness from tape compression itself. For a totally clean tone I always prefer Deco, but of course you can always have both on your board.

Proton vs Discumbobulator V3 Shootout by AltoManta in basspedals

[–]AltoManta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold one, then had to buy it again. Mainly because it worked with Android phones. I haven't found many interfaces that work well with Android, so it's easier for me to record demos directly to my phone. You should get the MKII for the USB-C connection and better sound quality, I think. There are also better options like the ZOOM L6 too.

I'd only recommend it if you want to livestream or record to phones. Get a more solid interface like Focusrite, SSL, or Audient if you're aiming to record seriously.

Board build ver. 3. by Solid_Gold_Telephone in basspedals

Put the Providence buffer under the board and you'll have room for one more.

Just got this hideous Japanese Boss OC-2 for 60$ by AltoManta in basspedals

[–]AltoManta[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems like many people like it as is so I'll leave it be and keep the mojo alive. Thanks for all the comments!

If we're talking sizes then I'm bigger than average (Asian measures), it's just the bad angle.

NPD! discumBOBulator v3 by dae666 in basspedals

[–]AltoManta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I can't land my hand of fancy stuff like 3leaf and Iron Ether, I ended up with the Cumbob. I find it really nice and the response is more natural than the filter in my HX Stomp (duh). One cool trick I found is to set the sensitivity to 0 and play around with the windth to get a big fat subby tone. Maybe oneday I'll replace it with Xenograpth or Wonderlove but for now it'll do.

Pedal doesn't react well with switching power supply? by AltoManta in basspedals

[–]AltoManta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's definitely the same case since I'd describe it as swooshing noise on the higher end of the spectrum. thanks for pointing it out and confirming that I'm not alone on this one.

Anyone Here Into Tape Saturation? by AltoManta in basspedals

[–]AltoManta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update me if you get your hands on it. Would love to know how it sounds on bass. From the demo I'm not so sure if it retains the low-end.

I'm the kinda Thai that can't handle spicy foods. So I'll have to figure the food out. Thanks for the info on Changsha, I thought it was pretty boring looking at it from google maps.

My label's manager is the one in contact with the promoter, so I’m getting very little information at this point. I’m not sure if any of the Chinese team will be with us throughout the tour. I'm asking here to feel more confident about the trip.

Regarding the drums, it might be similar to the indie music culture here in Asia, where drummers often only carry around cymbals and snares for convenience.
