I bought myself a C4, it really didn’t work very well with my Ibanez BTB, only picked up right above the bridge and cut out a lot, it’s also a very steep learning curve to tinker with, so buyer beware

@AloysiusChowBass 3 года назад

@@sjeffy5137 Same here. I didnt feel very much in control using the C4. Always afraid then an accidental turn on the knob will cause a suddenly jump to the settings. It is not as easy to use.. really not so straightforward.

@vincentpettit5841 4 года назад

The c4 is so advanced and he did not even remotely scratch the surface of it's capability in this demo. It literally can do any and of of these pedals plus so much more. Do yourself a favor and do a deep dive into it before you settle on one.

@ampthebassplayer 4 года назад

Man, that last section really brings it all together. Synth pedals are hard to compare because they're all so dramatically different. I had never even heard of the C4 but that one seems like the one I'd be the most interested in.

@MyBassistChris 4 года назад

AMP yes the comparison for synths was quite difficult compared to the fuzz shootout. The C4 is the most powerful synth for sure, but for someone like me with little synth knowledge the learning curve was steep. It’s still my favorite synth pedal by far though. Also glad to see you’re uploading more videos again!

@ampthebassplayer 4 года назад

@@MyBassistChris Yeah, the extra software for the C4 seems pretty intimidating. I might just end up getting a keyboard synth because it would probably hurt my wallet less in the long run. And thanks!

@101fng 2 месяца назад

That’s because nobody seems consistent in how they describe or demonstrate the effect. The waveforms need to be the focus of comparison (e.g. demo each pedal modulating the signal into a square wave, then a triangle wave, etc., etc.). It really doesn’t help that none of these builders are consistent with how they control signal shaping or at least in how they name their shaping controls. It makes it super difficult to get a proper comparison without an oscilloscope.

I just bought a c4 and a keeley to me they are the best at tracking and they can go ultra low in sub freqs. I also own a zoom ms60b which has can imitate many pedals on the market including qtron named ztron. I had a micro sytnh for a while and its just too thin sounding also its hard to get the dry and wet signal the same level throughout a specific track.

@josephjones2410 4 года назад

C4 and the EHX micro win for me.

@RQBassist 4 года назад

I've owned a digitech bass synth for ages and it was and still is to a degree by far the best bass synth for me. When Source Audio released the c4 though, I can't deny it is better in certain ways like the sheer amount it can do........I'll just have to have both I guess ! Also I wont fault the ehx micro synth either as it is kind of a one trick pony for me but that one thing it does really well...........the boss synth.......well let's just say I'll keep my opinions to myself on that one. The Ehx mono synth is a bit gimmicky for me and then the keeley I guess could be useful for something super specific. Excellent video for comparing.

@russell90ful 4 года назад

brilliant video I'm planning on building a pedal board I realise brands are a matter of choice I'm not sure if you have covered this in the past but is it important what order pedals go

@MyBassistChris 4 года назад

Thanks! The pedal order or your "chain" does matter. However there is no 100% correct way to order your pedals. For example most people say that you should have your distortion before a modulation pedal, but Tame Impala actually puts their modulation before their distortion which is basically their signature sound. I'd recommend doing some research as well as experimenting yourself!

@fetu505 4 года назад

Awesome

@criticaltheist3992 3 года назад

C4 sounded the best for my hiphop sound, next I like the bass mono synth pedal was decent actually. Maybe someone who is into metal or harder music would like the micro synth but it seems the c4 sounds more full and just as nasty. What is up with the s-1? Sounded so uninspired

@HapyLLIuTeJIb 8 месяцев назад

I liked Boss more than others most of the time, except the sub-octaver demonstration. Very open and straight-forward sounding while still keeping the low frequencies. Keeley was consistently the worst.

@jamessmith-zk4co 4 года назад

Awesome video Chris! I just got the C4. I love it but digging the digitech synth wah. I'm trying to put a bass pedalboard together but I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I play in church and with a couple Corporate party bands. I also do a fair amount of freelancing and some jazz gigs. You seem to know a bit about pedals. Can you offer some advice to a pedalboard novice?

@MyBassistChris 4 года назад

james smith cool that you’re building a board! Personally I’m a guy that will have like 10 pedals on a board but it really depends on your specific needs. If I had to have a bare bones board it would be a tuner, compressor, overdrive, and my sansamp DI. My ideal board is compressor, octave, synth, overdrive, fuzz (maybe 2), noise gate, chorus, sansamp, tuner. Adding pedals can definitely open up your playing but you also don’t want to pedal crazy too fast. I tend to use a ton of pedals because of all the different songs I cover. Hope this helps!

I want the EHX Bass Micro Synth, but after listening to this, I really like the sound of the DigiTech. The Boss synth sounds really good too, and I've been hearing bassists talk about for years. The Keely sounds like ass and while you made the C4 sound better than I've heard it in other demos, I still think it's too square wavey for my taste. My board is almost all EHX, but I'm seriously considering the DigiTech or Boss now. Nice video!

@RyuatNight 3 года назад

The boss seemed to really let me down in your video. Was it hard to find the sound you were looking for cause of all the sounds it has or is it just not that good of a pedal for the songs you chose?

@b1lahb1ah 2 года назад

I had the big version the SY-300, for me the oscillators just seemed to fit better as a 'lead' sound, I couldnt get get mine to have any sort of fullness, its sounded really brittle and obviously digital 👎 Theres also the Boss SYB-5 which is loads of fun with an expression pedal, and the Future Impact which I love!

@joehub13 4 года назад

Nice demo! I have a question: can you rank the pedals from worst to best tracking (as in how well it reacts to your playing)?

@MyBassistChris 4 года назад

Thanks! The Digitech, Keeley, and MicroSynth all track perfectly with the BOSS having almost perfect tracking. The Source Audio C4 is really good but depending on the synth engine can fail to play fast riffs & also gets glitchy on octaves. The EHX Mono Synth's tracking is actually pretty poor, but it has really good sounds and as long as you don't play too fast it's great for the money.

@joehub13 4 года назад

Great. Today I bought a keeley synth second hand and am waiting for it... My impression is that it’s more a fuzz-like pedal effect, which I think is pretty cool. Your video definitely helped. See you!

I don't think the problem is the EQ with the pedal. While the pedal is very versatile with 121 different synth tones I think they are more geared for guitarists. While bass synths may not be the pedal's biggest strength it does do synth pad and ambient noises quite well.

@paulleeming5733 10 месяцев назад

This was a great Video and actually got me to buy the digitech bass Wah as its sounds had better tracking and also an Octaver - a great pedal. I think if you have a reasonable technique, it shouldn't be that hard to get a bit of musicality out of a pedal. The Mono synth just struggled with the tracking no matter how close I played to the neck, muted the strings etc. Maybe slow songs and slow movements from one note to another are more its Jam.

@MyBassistChris 10 месяцев назад

Glad you found the video helpful! The tracking on the Digitech is superb, it's a shame they stopped making it. I agree the Mono Synth has great synth tones but awful tracking. Enjoy your new pedal!

Thanks for your review. Question: In your humble opinion, regarding the 6 synth pedals using a 5-string bass guitar, which among these pedals would produce the closest bass synth sound of "Nights on Broadway" by The Bee Gees? Of course "Future Impact I" would be the absolutely purest first choice, but among the pedals you demonstrated, what would win second place? Here is Future Impact I demo of "Nights on Broadway" ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7F3SbUk8Uas.html ) . Thanks!

@MyBassistChris 4 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the review! I don't think anything comes close to the Future Impact, but the Source Audio C4 would probably get closest to it and I think you might get a decent synth tone from the EHX Mono Synth too. Keep in mind that synth pedals don't really do well with the notes below E, even if they're advertised to track that low. Hope this helps!

Hi. I bought C4 after watching your video! I'm downloading and using the source you uploaded too. (time is running out v2) But I think there's a problem that source. There's noise, there's delay, Above all, when I play 2 strings together, I can't hear 1 string sound. (sometime) Could you check if you don't mind? I'm sorry for asking you to do this. Thanks a lot.

@MyBassistChris 3 года назад

Glad you purchased the C4, it's an amazing synth! So some things to note about the Muse patch: 1. If there is delay with the note playing you may need to turn the volume up. 2. The synth does have problems tracking octaves (specifically going down to up). For example, going from the E from the low to high E in the Time Is Running Out riff can cause some issues, this is just due to the synth tracking algorithm. Not much we can do to change that. 3. This specific synth engine is mono not poly, so it is not possible to play multiple notes. The same goes for the EHX Mono synth in this video. Hope this helps!
