Members Azz301 Posted October 10, 2007 Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 Just what is it exactly? What does it do (without the marketing)? Who uses them? Does anyone have any with/without sound clips? I'm about to pick up a Punch Factory, and I'm curious about this little bugger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Azz301 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2007 no offence, but listening to the demo made me think its for people that have small amps, or crappy tone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense taken. Tone is subjective of course, but what do you mean it's for people with "small amps"? That part confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members been_effected Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 I tend to get the idea they're a bit like an EQ pedal except with an inbuild bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SB900LE Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=3&vedi=40 "For me, the most exciting components are definitely the VLE and VPF filters. These two controls allow the user to dial in an array of classic to contemporary tones. For a mellow, retro sound such as that produced by a vintage amplifier, the VLE control can be used to filter out high frequencies. As you turn the VLE clockwise, the range of high frequencies that gets cut increases. The end result sounds similar to the tone knob on a passive bass. The VPF produces a mid-scoop by boosting lows around 35 Hz and highs at 10 kHz while at the same time cutting mids at 380 Hz. This produces a more modern sound and the classic slap bass tone. The amount of highs and lows that get boosted and mids that are cut increases as the VPF is turned clockwise." --Cliff Engel http://www.instituteofbass.com/archive/reviews/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
