Total Watts

  1. And thwow him to the fwoor!
  2. Loop-based from a single 555 timer, obviously!
  3. All of the above. A light valve drive and compressor are always on, then I have a couple of other, dirtier drives that I turn off and on depending on the song. My chopped OC2 takes care of sub sounds, and modulation and pitch shift come from a Line 6 M5. Squelchy fun (my least used effect) is a chunk systems Agent 00Funk and HPF at then end of the board
  4. I’ll see your BDI21 and raise you the ADI21. It’s behringer’s Paradriver clone and it’s brilliant. I also picked up a DHA VT1 dual custom in need of some TLC from the ‘bay for £50 that eclipses everything. Took me about 6 months of careful circuit tracing and building an active eq circuit for it but it’s easily my best £50 purchase.
  5. I use exactly this setup and it’s been rock solid!
  6. Currently having my arse kicked by ‘Teentown’. Sounds like someone else we know…

    DIY Effects

    I’ve been playing about with a valvecaster circuit recently. I’m running it at 18v with an internal 12v regulator for the plates on the ecc83. Pretty nice but still playing about with a blend circuit on it too!
  8. The SVP won't break up as it's not designed to. The SVP PRO will add valve drive by pushing a 12AU7 into overdrive, but it's not just diode clipping. 10001c1_.pdf Page 2 shows the arrangement and use of the 5 preamp tubes - V4 is the 12AU7 responsible for the 'drive' circuit. It can sound a bit 'fizzy' when running direct to a desk, but through a power amp and an 8x10 it's glorious.
  9. I once took a banjo to a local luthier shortly before he died, and he snapped it in half and burnt the pieces. God, I miss him.
  10. The octaver on my line 6 M5 is surprisingly good for a unit that’s 16 years old!
  11. The BB is the single best Rat based dirt pedal for bass guitar EVER. You should buy it anyway and then form a band where it's absolutely necessary; they're THAT good.
  12. Who Are the Brain Police? Zappa
  13. My brother is looking a clear P bass scratch plate. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do one? NW England.
