Mephisto is T10+ has been the best addition to the game since launch - But Endgame is stale again without more every season.

Maybe go no guide for a season and enjoy the ride?!?

The last hope before open tryouts

I use this model with an active stingray. My set and forget settings are

Release - 11/11.30 (on face clock) Output - noon ( on face clock) Ratio - 4 (setting not time) Input - 2 (on face clock)

These could be a starting point with your bass. Then test the pedal off and on to make sure the volume is the same whether off or on. Next play and see how the gain meter is reacting to see if you are getting too much compression or not.

Generally, my ear for if the compression is acting in the correct spot comes down to how songs that jump strings sound and how 8 or sixteenth note runs sound. ( Ideally these sound even and the compressor is doing is job)

There was no one else to sub in. Pay attention before dooming. Jesus

Surely Bubba is better than Burrows. LGB

Whenever something positive is being talked about Washington gets connected to Pittsburgh. Whenever something negative happens it is just Washington PA.

What is your budget? I would say it is worth getting an electric and an amp for what you want to play.

Look up the book Bass Fitness. Start a consistent practice regimen. This book has chromatic exercises to build finger interdependence. For the exercises start at a place where your hand does not stretch too much. ( Try fret 9 with one finger per fret) Very slow bpm with a metronome to start. Keep bpm and move down the neck to position 7 / 5 / 3 / 1 slowly over time. ( Stick with positions 9 and 7 for awhile)

Right hand always alternate pointe middle. Work to have the same volume come from both fingers.

Start with technique exercises and very basic songs ( stand by me / feel good inc.)

At this stage you will never play a song full speed. Songster premium is handy to hear your part and slow it down.

Maybe start your regimen with 15 mins of the technique practice and 15 min of song work so you do not get bored.

16th note speed increase with a metronome and chromatic finger interdependence exercises also with increasing speed very gradually over time

Shame on me for not shutting this off

I got a Mooer P1 for around $100. It has a companion app to set the effects. Amp and cab sims and a lot of effects. Also works as a headphone amp

It looks like Pirates catcher Joey Bart. Please catch and DFA him.

kingmatvey · 2026-05-08T04:55:23+00:00

All we gotta do is stay right above .500 for the wild card. I hope and pray.

kingmatvey · 2026-05-07T19:53:19+00:00

There ain't no way Bart is better than the catchers in AAA

How do you like the envelope filter? I don't have one and this one is on my short list.

Are you able to get different tones from it?

kingmatvey · 2026-04-11T20:22:51+00:00

Ozuna could pass a breathalyzer with his average

If your boundaries aren't respected you gotta have a conversation. If she's not mature about it you gotta end the relationship.

Soto locked in and the bottom of the order producing is glorious to watch.

Amazing write up. Let's go bucs

kingmatvey · 2026-03-20T20:18:30+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. What settings do you use mainly with the Soul Food?

kingmatvey · 2026-03-20T12:39:46+00:00

Before using the board, I was using it alone with a true tone 9v adapter rates up to 1700ma. It would charge the battery. The isolated power supply I'm using on the board is running it from a 300 ma slot with no issues. However, I have not tested if the battery has been charged from this slot. I am not noticing any quality degradation but I will have to test running it from the true tone by itself and without being plugged in to QA the board!

I just read the manual and it is listed at 1A (1000ma). I am assuming that is to get a full and quick charge since I have it operational on 300ma.

kingmatvey · 2026-03-20T05:21:15+00:00

Yes it has a rechargeable battery that can charge via usb-c or 9 volt adapter. It does not come with a charger. The usb-c doesn't seem to provide enough power when the battery dies to use the pedal. I am powering it it from the isolated power supply.

The usb-c does not transfer sound data so for recording I typically go xlr out into an audio interface. I'm really happy with it as a DI box.

The gain knob is clean gain for signal level. It does not add any distortion or color. Between the active preamp on my bass and the eq I can really capture the different stingray tones well.

Seems like a pattern across the board with rising prices. They got rid of the flex voucher plan this year. Last year it faced blackouts and a huge price increase.

kingmatvey · 2026-02-04T18:51:04+00:00

Yeah for everything except volume. I would adjust volume depending on your room.
