    Everything’s worth repairing!

    There’s a little plastic cover on the headstock; it’s under there. 😄

    “TLC needed”. I think that ship may have sailed, time to administer the last rites.

    It’s 5 parallel clipping stages, each tune to *very* close frequencies. Messy and chaotic, but in a really food way.

    You might be correct; true 'bit crushing' is only possible using digital audio, so it's probably the most recent invention.

    An excellent choice. Today (and yesterday) have been very 80s for me, in a Kate Bush, Prince and Erasure way.

    Board reshuffle means that this is up for grabs. Treble, mid and bass control with selectable mid frequency via toggle switch. Upper switch is for active/passive bass. price drop to £30 Price includes delivery to mainland U.K. address.

    Just had a bit of a shuffle around on my board, so jettisoning some unused stuff. This is a loop pedal that will take any pedal in the loop and let you blend in your clean signal, so you can pinch your guitarist’s pedals and use them without loss of low end. The switch on the left is for a phase reversal, just in case you get phase cancellation and your signal disappears when blended. I won’t be too disappointed if this doesn’t go, as it’s a really useful piece of kit as it also functions as a buffered splitter to feed two amps. Price includes delivery within U.K. mainland. SOLD

    For that track I think the CAR bass is more appropriate, personally I prefer the other one though; it’s just got a bit more bite to it.

    If only there was an Oscar Wilde quote about being talked about versus not. Stephen could really do with one at the moment.

    Lamb of God. They were on the same bill as Anthrax and Slayer a couple of years ago, and I was looking forward them as I've got a couple of albums and quite enjoyed them. Anthrax were on before them, and were amazing. LOG didn't look like they were even trying. They sounded tight, and were obviously well rehearsed, had a stage set up but just stood still throughout their recital (not a performance). Funny thing is, Slayer did pretty much the same thing, but were just more entertaining. Go figure.

    I’m a huge fan of the Waves Rhapsody piano plugin, wait for a sale though, as it’s quite pricey! Just had a look and it’s $35 from the waves US site, not sure if it’s a similar price on the UK site.

    Didn’t Motley Crue used to do warm up gigs as the ‘Four Skins’?

    Budget multi fx

    paul_5 replied to sshorepunk's topic in Effects

    I really enjoyed the Zoom MS60B and B1-on, then I heard the quality of effects on the Line 6 M5. Granted, it will only do one effect at a time, but as part of a bigger effects board it’s got all of my modulation needs (and a couple of ‘wants’) covered!!

    Both sold now.

    Hoof fuzz now on hold.
  22. paul_5
    Up for grabs are 2 from my private stash of home-made clones, so both have Velcro on and are powered by 9v centre negative adapter (standard pedalboard supply). Left pedal is an EQD Cloven Hoof v1 fuzz, with the usual gain, volume and tone controls, but with an added mid control to ensure you’re heard in the mix. My favourite fuzzzzz. All dressed up in a My Little Pony finish with light-up eyes! The blueberry is just that a lovely dark overdrive that will do gentle break-up to mid gain. I played about with this one so that there is more control over the lower gain sound to really nail the ‘edge of dirt’ sound. Price includes delivery to a mainland Uk address of your choice. £25 each or £45 for both. sold.

    That’s a verified layout, and if it works some of the time then it’s working all of the time. I’d hazard a guess that the problem is the off board components and/or wiring. when you soldered the potentiometers were they set to minimum (fully counter clockwise), as soldering with them while they are anywhere but this setting makes it easier to damage the track. Just because the led lights up doesn’t necessarily mean that the switch is fully working - just that the two lugs for the LED are. If bypass is ok then I’d have a look at the in and out of the board first, then check all the other off board wiring.

    Connect the hot wire from the pickup directly to the middle lug of the tone control.

    You can take the guesswork out of this by using the mathematical formula for calculating the corner frequency (point of roll-off) for a passive low pass filter -which is exactly how the tone control on passive basses work: 1/2(piRC), where R is the resistor value, C is the capacitor value, and Pi is delicious. Failing that there are a couple on online calculators, I tend to use this one... http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/CRlowkeisan.htm
