Re: Boss PS-6 as a tool for looped bass.

[Mike Fugazzi <mikefugazzi@gmail.com>]

From direct experience - Boss OC 2 or the octaver on my M13 work great for this.  The EHX stuff is delayed and will kill timing your loops.  My loops are usually all more than one bar and I have no problems.

I also have low harps down to LLF, but usually hum bass lines.  The key for me is using a Tech 21 pedal to eq the bass/beatboxing so I get a huge bass and bass drum tone without clipping my amp. I send a direct line to my amp and then the Tech 21 line to the board.

I can get a good tone w/o the 21, but it then makes my amp rattle and fart out.  Straight to PA it works great.

I have clips and demos at youtube.com/user/mikefugazzi.

Thanks for response. I'm familiar with MicroPOG and I like it, but I
dislike it's size (yes it's micro, but still bigger than regular boss
pedal, I have no enough room in my pedalboard) and I like extra
features of PS-6 (detune, s-bend) which MicroPOG lacks while it have
the same features (octave lower, octave higher and both together), the
only differences that in microPOG it's possible to change level of
each tone (dry, oct down, oct up) while it's impossible with PS-6.
