Wimbish:
Thank you :)

So I go from the fullrange output of the MB-1 into the return input of my 800rb and that is it?
Today I tried the fullrange out directly into the 800rb. This was already aweseome. 

I need some settings for a "singing" sound when playing chords and tapping as well as a heavy overdrive. I will check the link and try to find my own sounds as well :)

Another thing: I have a Bass Whammy. This goes into the Send/Return of the MB-1, doesn't it?

rnolan:
Hey Wimbish, you can run a whammy in the loop (A or B loop) or like wah for guitars it may be better before the MB1, depends on the whammy's gain structure. If the whammy is instrument level (like stomp boxes typically are) then it's probably better before the MB1. But I'd try both and pick the one which sounds/works better for you. Also depends if you want to whammy the clean guitar signal (like a physical whammy on a guitar) and amplify that or if you want to whammy the preamp signal. As the whammy is basically a harmoniser (pitch shifer), it may track the clean un-amplified direct guitar signal better, as the harmonics from tube tones can be harder for harmonisers to track.

@Peter, I just read the manual, it says it came with software you can use to program the MB1  :dunno: .  Also does later firmware update allow for some CC (midi continuous control) ? IIRC I read that in a post here somewhere.

I'd say place it in one of the effectloops. That way you can switch it 'in line' only when you're going to use it, and your tone stays pure the rest of the time.

The MB-1 has gain pots on both the sends and the returns, so it will work with both.

2.05 version does allow for CC control, however limited to the steps you can set. You are simply switching through the same values that you do with the front panel switches.
Including the clicking sounds between each setting.
So only usefull when programming, not for live use.
