Total Watts

  1. Yep, it's very loud and there's an amazing weight to the sound. Best digital power section I've used (and I've used a lot!). There's so much going on I'm a loss to know where to start right now, but I'll try and review in a few days. The cab calibration is amazing. The effects sound lush and are endlessly tweakable using the software. Low and High pass filters. Preset shapes. Vintage and Modern tones. I bought the footswitch as well, which will be a game changer for live use. I was giggling like a kid at Christmas when I started playing!
  2. I bought one. Arrived today. It's amazing.
  3. I've decided to sell off all my effects stuff, so here is a complete Rockboard pedalboard setup for your delectation. First of all, the Tres 3.0 (£85) is 44cm wide by 24cm deep. This also comes with the soft gig bag. Next, and mounted inside on the front panel, is the Mod 2 (£55), which gives you lots of patchbay routing options. Next, the Power LT XL, which gives you a gig's worth of power without being plugged into the mains. This sits on the Rockboard Tray (£17), and I've set it up so it can be charged via USB from the front panel of the Mod 2. All very nice and neat. The PSU is older than the other items, which are all around a month old. You can see everything on my current build. The MS-3 and Wampler are also for sale if anyone is interested.
  4. I'm really not sure I want to sell this, as they're very rare and I absolutely love it, but my head has been turned by the new Boss Katana 500. This amp is very clean, and loud. Its EQ is subtle, but it's hard to get a bad sound out of it. If you like a really good, clear, core tone, then this is the amp for you! Features Classic VTBP-201 tube pre-amp circuitry Hand wired in the USA using High quality components, DC filament, full 220V high voltage supply Mode switch lets you control the overall tone: Dark, Normal and Bright Treble Control: 6 dB of boost or cut at 4 kHz (6dB per octave, shelving type) Middle Control: 6dB of boost or cut at 500Hz (wide Q, peaking type) Bass Control: 9dB of boost or cut at a switchable frequency of 60 or 120Hz (6dB per octave, shelving type) Presence Control: 12dB of boost at a frequency of 4kHz (active type, 6dB per octave) Active and Passive inputs 250 Watts RMS into 8 ohms and 400 watts RMS into 4 ohms Two Speakon jacks on the back Line level balanced studio out that is selectable Pre or Post EQ Black tolex covered birch plywood cabinet with handle The amp weighs 8 lbs and measures 11”wide x 5.5”high x 8.5”deep Hand made in California Hard to price, as not widely available in the UK, so I've looked through old threads and am asking £750. I can post for extra, but would want to work out suitable details with the buyer.
  5. A quick survey of Reverb reveals the price on these is now £250, so I've dropped accordingly.
  6. So, if I am reading the manual right, you have four possible tone settings? Firstly, whatever is set "live" on the front panel and then three presets? And then you also have three effects you can add in, combining as many as you like at one time?
  7. I'm selling my amazing Boss MS-3 multi effects switcher. This has been at my feet for the last couple of years, but the band I play in no longer has need for bass effects so I'd rather move it on than have it gathering dust. It's an incredibly versatile piece of kit. Not only does it act as a switcher, turning your pedals on and off with the click of a single button, but it also possesses the power of 112 on-board effects in delays, reverbs, drives, pitch shifting and modulation to use in conjunction with the pedals you put in the chain. It contains three pedal loops to connect and activate your favourite effects as you please. Mix and match your own stompboxes and the MS-3's effects. This is also the perfect solution for a small pedalboard or when travelling light, as you can use the MS-3 standalone. With a built-in tuner, EQ and noise suppressor, you won't ever have to waste space on your board. It's in excellent condition, in perfect working order, and comes with original box and PSU. These seem to go for £300 used, so I have priced it accordingly.
  8. Do you mean Martin Turner? Ted was one of the guitarists. EDIT: Sorry, that sounds very pedantic! Wasn't meant to be.
  9. I can play my socks off, in fact the band can play their socks off, but if the audience aren't up and dancing it's a bust for me.
  10. This just feels like it should be in the for sale section 🤔
  11. Here's the latest iteration of my pedalboard. Much simpler than my previous one as I decided to just build presets in the MS-3. The only exception to that is the Wampler mini, as I didn't want to sacrifice one of the four effects in the Boss on a compressor. I've also added the Bright Onions DFM2 to facilitate easy switching. I've kept my trusty Providence Dual Bass Station (powered by the Gigrig 12V adapter underneath) as I always take and play two basses to each gig. I went for a Rockboard Tres 3.0 so I could add the Mod 2 patch bay, which allows for the basses to be plugged into A and B and then sent to the amp via D. The USB allows me to charge the Rockboard power supply fitted to the tray underneath. All neat and tidy
  12. Playing a five clicked in my head back in 1989, and I have played them pretty much exclusively ever since. They are my goldilocks "just right" bass.
  13. eBay's the same. Must be a new requirement since the law came in, as I've had a Reverb account for a few years and not had to add a VAT number.
