This is under the board and does the job. I do have a couple of amps in my home studio that don’t have reverb, so I use this with those. My main amps are a 1975 Princeton Reverb and a 1978 Vibrolux Reverb, so I usually like the amp reverb. I use it for a slapback sound and it’s almost always on. It lets me mimic an organ pad and is kind of fun. Sometimes I’ll use it with the Greer and then fade it in and out with the volume pedal. I don’t use it a ton but sometimes it’s the perfect thing to add color. I literally call this the “Waylon Button.” Again, it retains the clarity at higher gain but still sounds like an amp. I like this behind the Nobels and use it to get a “singing,” higher-gain lead tone. With a single-coil guitar, I use it for my clean sound and it’s always on. This is my favorite pedal and the heart of the board. With a humbucker guitar, I usually shut the Nobels off and use it by itself.
Typically, I use it for a raunchy rhythm sound. With a single-coil guitar, I use it to push the Nobels ODR-Mini and get a little more gain without losing clarity. I use it to quiet the rig when I play with acoustic instruments and am also trying to get the hang of pedal-steel bends.

Lots of trial and error (which was fun), and, after laboring over decisions that are of absolutely no consequence to productive society, here’s what I came up with.īasic as it gets. When I built this board, the goal was to get a clear, natural, amp-like sound, with multiple gain stages.
The combination of crystal clarity and natural warmth exudes a passive feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs. The Markbass MB-1 preamp provides a natural and transparent boost that does not color the organic nature or resonance of the instrument's woods.

In the Artisan Series tradition, Bartolini MK-1 pickups deliver a trademark sound with plenty of punchy and warm mids, along with transparent and brilliant highs for superb balance.

The combination of the Bartolini® MK-1 pickups and Markbass MB-1 active electronics are key to the versatility of the Artisan C5 Plus OVMH and its 4-string counterpart. Deep individual slots hold the saddles rock-tight, which provides noticeable tonal improvement by preventing unwanted movement and allowing string vibrations to correctly transfer to the body. Depending on string thickness, the dual-string loading system allows the strings to be loaded either through the body or from the top for optimal string tension that results in enhanced sustain, greater playability, and focused sound. 708" spacing on the C5 Plus) were developed with more focus on ease-of-use and greater tone transfer.

Black hardware and die-cast tuners put a bold touch on an otherwise natural aesthetic.īoth the Artisan C5 Plus OVMH and C4 Plus OVMH offer a solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge, an upgraded feature that's highly adjustable with ample wide string spacing to improve playing comfort. The 24-fret Canadian hard maple neck with jatoba fretboard (15.75-inch radius) adds stability and contributes punchy brilliance to the overall tone of the instrument.

Putting the high-end workmanship of the Artisan Series on full display, Cort applies a rounder body shape on the Artisan C5 Plus OVMH that not only provides an iconic unified look on the traditional bolt-on (34-inch scale), but also delivers ergonomic comfort. The combination of ovangkol and maple, together with a warm-sounding mahogany body, provide an ideally balanced tone. Ovangkol shares similar characteristics as rosewood and bubinga, with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that's not as bright sounding, while the strategically placed maple center makes up for the missing highs. Beyond the surface, these tonewoods deliver a perfect blend of balanced tone. Both the 5-string and 4-string models offer a luxurious aesthetic that's hard to resist, given the ovangkol's blend of cinnamon-brown and darker streaks that evoke a classy vintage look. The Artisan C5 Plus OVMH bass follows the tradition of Cort's Artisan Series, offering premium workmanship that's on full display with a unique body made from an ovangkol top, mahogany wings, and maple core.
