    I'll need to sell most of this to afford it 😅

    I've accumulated a fair collection of pedals over the last 5 years, but, finding myself going back to the same pedals and changing priorities, I'm putting some of them up for sale. Not looking for any trades unless you have a 3 Leaf Audio mk2 Octabvre you're willing to part with (didn't think so!). All come with the original box and bits. Tracked postage to UK mainland will be £5, unless otherwise stated. Walrus Audio 385 Preamp - £100 An excellent low gain amp-like drive with bass and treble controls. Beetronics FatBee (custom paint job) - £150 Aimed at guitar but a surprisingly nice driven amp sounding pedal. Beetronics Royal Jelly (custom paint job) - £200 Again more aimed at guitarists, but a nice sounding drive and fuzz all in one pedal Free the Tone Black Vehicle (comes with power supply) £250 A great overdrive with bass/treble EQ and boost. The controls over input and output gain mean you've got a lot of control over the boosted tone. EHX Nano POG - £130 The older aesthetic, but a great octave pedal, with octave up and down. FoxRox Octron 3 - £150 A great octaver with octave up and down, and switchable EQ settings for both Old Blood Noise Endeavours Dweller Phaser/Repeater - £150 A really interesting pedal. It can be a straight ahead phaser with blend control (so great for bass), but you can also blend in a delay ("stretch") that responds to the phaser's feedback control. Very cool spacey sounds. Chromatron - £800+£20 postage (comes with Wonderlove box) Posted here some time ago but collating them all into one post for convenience. A legendary filter pedal with lots of control over the filter sound and an effects loop. Spencer has said he is unlikely to build these again because of the expense of the chassis.

    I thought I was ready to take part in this thread but my wife announced today I have permission to buy another Wilcock bass 😂

    This was the weirdest thing when I saw it pop up on Insta when they posted it a couple months back. I took over from Ollie in a band he couldn't do anymore coz of High Fade 😅 He gives a shoutout to an Edinburgh legend in the quickfire section (not me unfortunately).

    I also struggled to hear the difference between the three 'Voicing' settings. I can only imagine it is more noticeable on guitar. I also didn't much care for the 'Mode' settings. They all sounded kind of the same, except the original Jive setting, which had drive only in the last 5th of the travel of the gain knob. I love the original Jive, but this version disappointed me.

    I felt the need for a bare minimum board for the occasions where the Big One is overkill. Or I'm too tired/lazy to carry it. Polytune 2(?) > 3 Leaf Audio Mini > Way Huge Pork Loin > BassRig Fifteen All powered by a Truetone OneSpot into the Gigrig modular system.

    Bought a pedaltrain nano. Arrived next day delivery. Buy with confidence.

    I'm sure both have their own sound from the circuit, but I think the key difference is the EQ. Both have drive, and on both you've got a lot of control of the highs and lows, but only the Super Vintage has the midrange controls. The mids and upper mids is where you'll get a lot of your tone (I'm assuming) if you're playing rock music for that pick attack. The B15 is typically associated with pop, R&B, soul et etc, so may not be the historically correct tonal platform for rock, whereas the SVT is. You're best bet is to find out how other players/bands got the tones you like. All that said, it's a great piece of gear either way, and there's a lot of videos showcasing it doing more than just the R&B/Motown thing.

    My band's first album released last May. Second one is in the works.

    I've been out of transcribing for a few years as the function bands I played for had everything charted, and the other bands were originals. I started learning 'I Was Made to Love Her' by Stevie Wonder a few weeks ago. I'm trying to get it note for note and by heart without writing it out. I can just about play the first half!

    For the money, Broncos are great. In the event she changes her mind you haven't shelled out too much. On the other hand, if you get the Squier CV and she gives up you've got yourself a pretty nice new bass!

    I've had this for a few years and not really used it much, and with life about to get more expensive I can't justify keeping it. These are very hard to come by (hence the price), and it doesn't look like Spencer is going to be building them again any time soon. It's definitely one of the most malleable filters out there, with lots of controls for attack, decay, response etc, plus the FX loop. I don't have the original box, only the Wonderlove box it had when I bought it, but it does have the original instructions. Reduced to £800 Price includes insured delivery.

    Thank you! The Fifteen hasn’t had a negative impact on the Octabvre to my ears. It tames the low low end, but it still sounds like and octave, and you can turn it off, or only have it on when the pedal is active.

    https://bassbros.co.uk/product/jaydee-series-4-roadie-ii/ There you go! Almost suspicious seeing a Jaydee at that price...

    Thought I'd found my board's final form, but then the Bassrig Fifteen dropped, I realised I have no need for two drives, and I decided I preferred the Julia over the Analog.Man (probably going to sell it if anyone's interested). It does leave one loop empty, but it'll be a guest loop or.... something.
