That's pretty cool looking. Too in depth for me, I think, but it sounds great.

I've been interested in one. Wasn't aware there was a Pro version coming, anywhere I can read about it?

I've played one and it was wonderful. A lot though. Too much for not having presets imo. It'd be hard but is necessary with the millions of sounds it can get.

bumping an old thread...

I'm not a guitarist but an electronic music producer and I'm planning to buy a WMD Geiger Counter (full version) to use it on synths and drum machines but I'm not sure should I buy bass modded or unmodded version... Is there a noticeable difference between them?

Thnx!

p.s. I tried to contact/ask WMD via email but without luck.

Nice entrance/necrobump!

I'm not an electronic music producer (and I haven't tried either version of the GC), but if I were, I think I'd go with the bass modded one. :idk:

Yes, that makes sense. I just wonder if the mod could negatively affect the high-end of the spectrum, as i've read in here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/wmd-ge ... t-14556478

Another question... If you turn the bit reduction knob all the way to the right, does it go beyond the mark 8 and will that turn off bit redution?

:idk: Yeah, I don't know. It quite possibly could. I know oftentimes when modding an effect to increase range at one end of the spectrum it comes at the expense of range at the other. I guess it all depends on which's more important to you.

Well, I don't know, i definitely wouldn't want it to sound dull... :grumpy:

thnx! :thumb:

p.s. i'm still waiting for WMD to respond my emails regarding this... for more than a week, or two. Maybe holidays...

Another option might be to get one of each, test 'em out for yourself and then ditch the one you don't like as much. :snax:

That would be the best option possible! ...and the worst at the same time. :) :D

I'm a bass player and had the non-modded GC first and then had him do the bass mod and I agree with what was said in the Talkbass thread about it having a beefier low end and losing a bit of high end. I can let you know tomorrow about where on the bit reduction knob it seems to "turn off"

I would just get the unmodded one and put it on a loop with blend. Hell, you can even just run a parallel line with a heavy lpf to only have the low end content. Add bitters, mix to taste.
