  1. I've just got back into using mine again, it's an excellent little gadget for practice sessions. I was underwhelmed with the bass presets out of the box, but with some tweaking it's capable of some decent sounds. I've just dialled in a Jamerson-ish tone for my P bass with flats which has kept me entertained for a good chunk of today. How are folks using it for practice? I find the bluetooth connectivity great for playing along to tracks off my phone or laptop.
  2. I just ordered some new ones from ACS a few days ago. The Basschat discount code BASS15 gives 15% off on the ACS website. I’ve used the Pro17 customs for a few years now, which give a pretty flat 17db cut. These are a great all rounders. I’ve also used the 26db filters which are good if things are crazy loud.
  3. Thanks for this! I'm glad I had a quick check on here before ordering a new pair. Mine aren't fitting as well as they used to, time for some freshies!
  4. Thanks so much! You’re My Germ was a fun one to record with the sax parts.
  5. Interesting! I've been using a Rusty Box for close to 15 years now and didn't realise there were alternatives til seeing these discussed here. But yeah, the boost is unusable, I've never touched it!
  6. How do you find the Cosmic Trigger and TS 100 compare?
  7. My band is a noisy bass/drums/vox 3-piece. We released a new song last week, more coming in the new year... https://irkband.bandcamp.com/album/toothache-in-prison https://www.instagram.com/irk_noise
  8. Thanks for the link, I’ve not seen those before!
  9. I've not posted on here in years, maybe 10? My pedalboard is looking the smartest it's been in ages after a thorough clean and rebuild, and I'm chuffed with my new Cioks power supply, so here we go. I can definitely go down a size of pedaltrain with a few flat cables and properly mounting the power supply underneath, but then again, maybe I can make use of this space... 🤔
  10. I'm in the process of slightly downsizing from a Pedaltrain Novo 32 with a hard case. The Mono Rail medium has caught my eye as it's the right size and I'm looking for a pedalboard with a decent case, but no longer need/want the heft of the hard case. I'm reading pretty mixed opinions on the stock Pedaltrain soft cases, but people seem to rave about the quality of Mono cases in general. Interested to hear if anyone has experience with these Rail boards? How do they compare to the Pedaltrain and is the case as good as people seem to suggest?
  11. CIOKS have also confirmed that's the right connector.
  12. That looks like it'll be just the ticket, thanks! I somehow completely missed that when scrolling through the accessories.
  13. There's always one awkward pedal isn't there! Before buying a new power supply, I'm trying to figure out if I can use an older 30V Rusty Box with a Cioks DC7, and if so, how I'd hook it up. Anyone have experience of this? The Rusty Box manual says... “If using an aftermarket AC Adapter, please be sure that it delivers between 24VDC and 40VDC with a minimum current rating of 100mA. The barrel connector plug coming from the AC Adapter must be center positive.” The barrel connector also isn't the standard size, it looks as though it's 5.5/2.5mm.

    Loopers?

    I've used lots of loopers over the years but the Ditto X2 hasn't budged from my pedalboard since 2017.
  15. Cheers! We are indeed based in Leeds. We've played with Blacklisters a few times in Leeds and managed to convince Billy to join us on vocals when we played Berlin the year before last, we've played with TSPSI in London and Bristol and we've sort of played with FOTL if playing the same festivals counts (ATG and Wrong fest). To be fair we don't play loads of Leeds gigs though, probably 4 or 5 a year for the last few years.
