steviedee Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Has anyone tried any of these? In particular the pipebomb compressor. http://www.joyoaudio.co.uk/JF-312-pipe-bomb-compressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 In think you set it up and close the flap and your settings are protected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Which pedal is that? Edit- just saw its the pipebomb 😉 Overall impressions pls? Edited May 25, 2015 by dudewheresmybass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviedee Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have to say I'm not the most knowledgeable when it come to compression but so far it seems noise free and transparent. Being able to blend in your signal seems very useful also. I'm pretty pleased with it and it's very well made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Cool. Might check some of them out, if I can find somewhere that actually sells them in a shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Is the Harley Benton pipe bomb the same effect with a different name, or does it differ in some way? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_micro_stomp_pipe_bomb.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...p_pipe_bomb.htm[/url] EDIT: No, it isn't. Knobs are different, and the shape of the enclosure is different. At least. It certainly isn't a rebadge.

steviedee Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 [sub]I have it on my board now. I think it seems quite a decent pedal but I just like a little compression.[/sub] [attachment=192941:board.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Mariner Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Wish they had a trem and phase version of those pedals in HB, especially if the trem had the same internals as a trelicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Anyone know anything about the drive pedals? do they relate to the American Sound/Ultimate Drive pedals they do? or are they based off of different ones than those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked around, and on Talkbass people are recommending Joyo guitar distortions for bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The two most popular bass distortion pedals are the American Sound and the Ultimate Drive. Thomann are doing them both under the Harley Benton banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elephantgrey Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 What i meant is how do the ironman drives compare to the larger drive pedals they do (american sound/ultimate drive). I have a vintage drive, and its a lovely pedal. I have it in a blend/feedback loop after a bitcrusher, and it softens it brilliantly, whilst still letting some of the digital-ness through. I would probably swap it for one of4 these smaller pedals if they are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviedee Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Well I reckon the pedal is a keeper, I was a bit worried it seemed to add a bit of distortion and noise at the start of my signal chain but I moved it to after the preamps but before the delays etc and it's great just adds a bit of punch. I'd really be interested in an HB/Joyo distortion but dunno which one will do for the bass. Edited May 30, 2015 by steviedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
