great sound

Sound quality is lacking

Never been so happy with a purchase! This unit is a home run. I decided to pick up a Transit B to simplify my board. I am really impressed with this little unit to the point that it has replaced EVERYTHING on my board.A quick synopsis of the features:Tuner: Works perfectly on a 4 string bass (all I play). Nice bright lights, and extremely accurate.Compression: This two band effect works as good as my Keeley bassist.....honestly a little better. I love the idea of compressing the highs a bit while keeping the lows a little more open to keep the low end "pulse" going 100% while smoothing out my playing a bit. Absolutely no loss of low end like you get with a lot of compressors.EQ: Works as expected, and nice to have it footswitch-able should you want to turn it off for any reason.Drive: More of an OD than a distortion, but very musical nonetheless. The blend control is the secret sauce here, and it works very well. No loss of lows.Pre-shape: I have an EQ on my board for those few times I do some slapping in my rock cover band. No longer needed. This button instantly scoops the mids while boosting the lows and highs and puts you into slap-land with a single foot stomp.This little unit allows me to rid my board of my Keeley compressor, my MXR 10 band EQ, my Barber drive pedal, my tuner, and my Tech 21 VT Bass DI. It's everything I was hoping it would be. I ended up replacing everything on my board with this one unit (and my wireless), and I'm good to go. Everything I need.....nothing I don't. Sounds phenomenal!Bottom Line: I honestly do not know why these aren't more popular. Well Done Trace/Peavey!
