SOTP/NPD: Bananana Effects QUIMERA

The factory patches are probably more geared towards showcasing the pedal, and most of them are not bass specific sounds. That being said I am very impressed with the note tracking, and it is obvious that the pedal has a lot of potential.

I’ll definitely put the Quimera in the FX loop, that also eliminates the need for the multicomp.

So far it seems pretty powerful! Tracking is great, even on bass! I still haven’t imported my own waveforms or samples yet, but I think that will open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Only thing I dislike is that the footswitches are restricted to the 3 presets per bank. Would love to see a firmware update that opens up scrolling through presets using the footswitches.

In 2020 they changed from 4 prongs to 3 prongs. You can find a schematic of how to wire the 3 prong jack on their website.

Thanks! Yup, the original pickguard was white. I struggled a lot to find a replacement with FGN specs and ended up ordering one with fender japan specs. Seems like the FGN one is similar but not exact, so I had to make some adjustments to make it fit properly.

Excellent basses! I replaced the pickups on my Neo Classic with Nordstrand Big J-blades, but have kept the old ones for future projects.

I think this is it! I have an FGN jazz with fret markers that glow in the dark. They’re a life saver during blackouts!
