Most bassists can also play the guitar, and most guitarists can also play the bass.
IIRC Quantum dropped a little after the Helix and was a genuine improvement. I honestly just want bass gear and a plugin now, the modelling is excellent IMO
Sounds at least as good to my ears. I love this thing (well, both of them), and it's going to save a lot of time recording. I'll do some clips later in the weekend...highly recommended, though.
Do you actually find the Mimiq as good as double tracking or is it mostly the convenience?
Once you've got that down, you're golden. The fact that you only need to get one perfect take instead of two is a godsend.
i was also experimenting with splitting the paths afterwards and putting delay and reverb on different paths and it does sound great
its a really quick experiment though so try it yourself
there are no rules
I don't think I'll buy one, I like to use different guitars each side and I like to choose how tight or loose it is by part, though it's definitely a lot slower this way.
But good to hear it works. I was concerned there'd be phase issues but it must be doing some clever stuff
ill stick the Patch up after the weekend if anyone fancies a play

That's the PRS Archon on the left, SLO on the right, Matchless 2x12" Greenback cab, 409 mic. First run through is with the Mimiq off, second with it on (as if you couldn't tell...).

It sounds decent - my only thought was it sounds a bit strange at 35 seconds-ish with the chugs, like my head was being pulled from side to side first time I heard it.
Could also be compounded by the different low end responses of the amps. And also these headphones are pants £15 Sonys that aren't the best so I'll have a listen on speakers later.
Would be cool to have the DI and Mimic DI, bounced so they start at where they align in your clip. If you can be bothered of course, no worries if you can't!
Working on the car and the garden today (and it's our 17th anniversary), so it's reasonably likely I won't get to it until tomorrow.
What I do want to try to do is a comparison between having the Mimiq before and after the amp blocks. I wanted to do that with my old pedal/amp rig, but it was a proper pain in the ass and so I never got round to it.
