I've noticed an Acoustic Simulator at the second pedalboard, do you use it with basses? Talk a little more about it, please.
It makes basses with magnetic pickups sound more piezo-y, for lack of a better way to describe it... you get a little simulated finger noise and it does something I can't quite describe to the response/release of fingers to string. It makes basses that have piezo pickups sound a little bit too mushy and mid-scooped for my liking, but there are still use-able settings for some desired effect.
When used in moderation, it's a nice little trigger for the occasional tune in an acoustic gig, but it's also a good way to make a bass disappear into a muddy mix.
*Rob, the Mesa Subway+ DI will also run on a 9v battery. (the manual says 12 hours or so, I think) I positioned it on the Pedaltrain Nano board so that I can get to the battery box between the rails to change it if/when necessary, but I plant to use it plugged into a power source 99% of the time.
