DTAR Mama Bear vs Fishman Aura on Carbon
August 11, 2010 - 3:40am
Been experimenting alot with Mama Bear on my Legacy and have a Aura Pedal that I have been using as well. I am increasingly blown away by what Mama Bear can do for the Legacy. Though many of the images work, I am mostly using input 8 and using 12 out which is the image of a J-200. It really is an amazing difference. I think a carbon guitars gives such a clear signal that the possessor can use to easily do its job. I have used my Aura pedal which gives me 16 images and got some that were close, but nothing close to what Mama was doing. A Spectrum would give me more images to play with which I am sure would be fairer to Aura, Just hard to justify it with the sound I am getting from the Bear, flip it on and I am getting this woody J-200 bass really is a bit amazing.

I'm completely ignorant on this issue, but I saw this thread on gearslutz which may be of interest.
i'm also very interested on this issue. i'm trying to decide myself between them for my cargo and my next carbon guitar (details coming soon).
people says mamabear sounds better, but the Aura has some features that are very handy for me as tuner, feedback suppresor, compressor, programable eq...even it can work on batteries! for the moment i can't justify buying both.
but, i wonder if i can get the same results with a convolution reverb from my computer. what i appreciate is that they work almost exactly as it. (in fact, i think it is a 'boxed' convolution reverb optimized for guitars). for the ones owning an Aura: in which format are the presets in your computer? are they audio format?
