topo morto

Purchasing a couple of pedals from this kind gentleman currently appears to have been a prudent move....

Gratefully took delivery of a very welcome freebee. Many thanks!

Obviously the target market of this may be atypical, but still - Funny to see production of a product moving [i]to [/i]the US to cut production costs!

Q: is the original "made by suicidal reindeer in Finland" version now worth more? A: YES

Sent a pedal East - fast payment, and you can get extra insurance with international 'signed for' delivery for just a couple of quid extra so the posting bit isn't a problem either. Great guy, would deal again no problem. Thanks!

I reckon we're getting there...

IMO the basic theme with bass drives is that you want to be able to leave the bass and lower mids firm and clean - and maybe fill them out a bit... while dirtying up the top end.

[quote name='Mark_Andertons' timestamp='1339104259' post='1683891'] Jason their famously British marketing guy's answer was this: [Quote] when we ask what they want, they come up with really helpful things like "A diatonic Harmonizer, that has a silicon fuzz, optical compressor that works dependent on what string you play and if I've been to the chippy". [/Quote] [/quote] Judging by the replies so far, sounds like they knew all along then! Peeps who are suggesting clean blend - would you really prefer that to split band?

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1339108000' post='1683998'] crossover [/quote] I'm also thinking that split band processing is the future for bass. Clean blend might just be the poor relation of being able to process the low and and high ends of your signal separately.

The man's a legend. I highly recommend buying his gear if you want some nice gear, OR if you are hungry. Thanks mcnach, also "Thanks Ken"

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1339073392' post='1683241'] We're not all career musos, some of us just play for fun and don't count the change; it's horses for courses. If it doesn't work for you, don't do it; if it does, fill your boots. [/quote] Surely the basic idea of bands doing the rounding up makes a lot of sense - for bands with a smaller fanbase (or maybe even no real 'fanbase' yet, just a few mates), if a few bands play together you might get a couple of hundred people together pretty easily, and that's a gigs' worth, and who knows, maybe a chance to make some real fans. if a 'promoter' is taking a big cut, that's the silly part. Just take out the middle man - get together as bands, hire the venue and do it yourself.

Got one of those inbred cattle pedals. No.... catalinbread, that's it. Sent at first opportunity, Extremely stress-free deal. Many thanks!

My OKKO Basstard went Jose's way... Kept me informed at every stage (even when he was [i]thinking [/i]about buying it... ) and we had a good chat. Smooth deal, great guy, deal with confidence!
