basically. It might do a little rudimentary Fourier analysis to make sure some 2nd harmonic doesn't slip in within the window, etc

the submarine seems really cool. Is it me or could it be used on 7 string, 8 or 9 string instruments. On basses.

Completely different animal and no messing with the base sound. A Little Thunder is so limited and backwards. It does one little thing. WHAT IF I LIKE MY PICKUPS!?!?!?!? I will ask them

Yea, that would be my assumption as well.

You can set it so it only tracks the E and A strings. His guitar sounded thick as fuck. He plugged the octave signal into a compressor and a sansamp into a bass amp.

but...how does that work?

IMO it doesn't. Bought one for this reason and flipped it.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but vertex is a pretty awesome boost pedal that adds nothing to your tone, just a giant volume boost

I had the same experience. Only dissapointing results. I'm sure it's possible to make it great, but I don't want to adjust my style for it.

trip report from band practice:

Rat into GE7 seems to work! I tried using the big bottom and it actually seemed to suck some of the life out of the guitar signal. I'm guessing it's because of the way the crossover works or something? Oh well, means I don't have to take my bass board apart.

I'm definitely going to try using some boosts and fuzzes and things with the rat to give me a second gain stage but I'm really pleasantly surprised by what the GE7 adds to everything. Also glad that so far it seems like I don't have to mess with blends to complicate my pedalboard that much.

Dude if that's all it took then try the GEB-7 and also a Blowing Up or Internet pedal...

Vertex is usually frowned upon around these parts, somthing about bluez lawyerz, tonez snobbery, and gooping shenanigans.

not familiar with it, but if it's a crossover, then the problem might be the split where
Chan A : high freq
Chan B : low freq

where it sounds like you are looking more for
Chan A : full range (High freq + low freq)
Chan B : low freq

yep that sounds like it.

good call on the GEB-7. Thing is I want to keep the bottom end 'tight' for want of a better word so bass pedals might make it a little too woofy. Still, more experimentation is in order. If nothing else it annoys my bandmates!

Maybe I'm late but I used a EHX knockout for this exact application and I've got to say it actually was alright+cheap.

Alright, so this seems to work so far. A little bit of loss of low end on the bass running through all that crap (bass sound is just rat, nothing else) but that actually works for me as I'm using my thundering monster GSE ripper bass that needs to be tamed a little to balance the lower output of the jazzmaster.
