Up for TRADE I have this lovely little pedal from Walrus Audio. Capable of all kinds of weird modulation effects, as well as your classic reverb tones. Blurb below. The Slö Multi Texture Reverb allows players to create lush, modulated, sleepy and ambient soundscapes. Stocked with three different algorithms specifically designed to invoke textures for bringing dreams from your subconscious to reality. The toggle switch allows three different reverb modes, Dark (Lower Octave), Rise (Ambient Swell) and Dream (Latching Pad), while secondary functions on the switch change between different wave shapes for the modulation on the reverb trail. Combine deep modulation with long washy trails and experience, the Slö. ALGORITHMS: DARK – Add a lower octave to your reverb trail. Here you'll create deep and wide atmospheric sounds and channel nightmarish soundscapes. X knob sets the level of a -1 octave signal that feeds the reverb. RISE – This is an auto-swell reverb for beautiful cinematic swells. Don't rush it. Let it breathe and gently wake up. X knob sets the amount of time it takes the reverb to swell in after a note is played. Set lower for shorter rise times and higher for longer rise times. DREAM – Here is a lush reverb with a latching pad function. Press the sustain switch to latch signal. Experiment with the X knob to add vibrato over the pad. Press sustain again and pad will decrescendo according to where decay knob is set. X knob sets the depth of vibrato applied to the reverb trail. The Slö also features 3 different wave shapes accessible by holding down bypass while switching the algorithm toggle. SINE – Smooth and even pitch up and down modulation. WARP – Asymmetric pitch up modulation similar to a warped record. SINK – Asymmetric pitch down modulation for sinking detune similar to a Bigsby. MOMENTARY FUNCTIONS: Bypass: When the switch is in off position, press and hold to temporarily activate the effect to add a moment of reverb texture. Releasing the switch turns the effect off, and fades it out. Sustain: When pressed, the decay switch ramps up the reverb trail to maximum creating long dreamy reverb trail and then ramps back down to the decay knob setting when released. In the “Dream” algorithm, the sustain switch is latching. Press it once to capture and sustain the current reverb decay for extremely long pad-like sounds. Press it again to let the reverb trail taper off, based on the position of the decay knob. TRAILS MODE: The Slö can run in trails or no trails mode. In trails mode, when you turn the pedal off, the reverb decay dies off naturally. In no trails mode, the decay is abruptly cut off when you turn the pedal off. To toggle between either mode, hold down the bypass switch for 1 second while applying power to the pedal. Unplug power and repeat to toggle to the other mode. In great condition, never gigged (lockdown pedal!), just some dual lock on the bottom. Comes with box/bag. There's just something about this that doesn't quite give me what I am looking for. I still need a good reverb pedal, or perhaps something with delay as well, so ideally I'm offering this as a trade against another reverb offering. Specific I know! But if anyone similarly has a reverb pedal they don't get on with and fancy trying this, let me know! However, hit me with any trade offer you may have, just nothing drive/fuzz/compressor related please.

And arrived! Look forward to giving this a go when I get in 😀

Unexpectedly, Amazon just issued a dispatch notification. It should be with me tomorrow...
-
Interestingly, Amazon claim to be getting this in stock next Wednesday, when everywhere else is saying months, and they’re doing it for £114 with the option to pay over 5 interest free instalments, first to go out at dispatch. Nothing to lose there, ordered 🙂

Follow Iron Ether. In terms of what you may find in an effects pedal, they always seem to be pushing the boundries.

Ha, well yeah I just kinda figured the OC-5 release with this best-yet oc-2 imitation would sort of kill off any idea of a Waza OC-2 coming out anytime soon at least.
-
Is there any real indication that there will be a waza?
-
Where does it say there’s any in stock? I see the status as “ordered”??
-
Stock due May 30th, don’t know how set in stone that is. Had bad experiences with DV247 when it comes to out of stock items too...
-
After deciding I want an Oc-5, they appear to be out of stock everywhere with an indefinite new stock time. Any idea why??

Warwick Streamer Stage 1 2020 limited edition - WITHDRAWN

Wasn't it in Manchester before it was cancelled?? Hardly much of a location change to the extent that people won't drive to it now?
-
Lovely looking bass, but what a pointless uninformative review. Basically the available spec in continuous prose.
-
Stunning! I could never own a bass with that kind of finish as it would just get scratched instantly for me and I'd hate myself! But it looks fantastic. LP pickup too, didn't even know basses like this were still coming out the Modulus shop!

Darkglass / NeuralDSP moving into hardware???? UPDATE: The Quad Cortex
Kev replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
I think at this stage really, sound quality wise all these high end devices are equal, it’s the form factor and the strength of the capturing that interests me the most. From the demos, it does seem to be more authentic than the Kemper, but in a mix/live, probably indistinguishable. Seems to come down to the unit itself, and I think Neural have got it completely spot on, it seems fantastic to use. -
Out of interest, when you cut your strings, do you bend the end of the string first and cut after the bend, or just cut it straight? If the latter, could well be you're damaging the string when cutting it and the core and winding has come a bit loose, which would create a rattle/vibration.

It isn't.

Absolutely this. I don't really care about the science of it, different woods naturally have different densities and vibrate differently. This certainly carries through to the sound being amplified. Chambered bodies certainly have a stronger say than solid bodies, but its still very noticable. A solid Bubinga body sounds nothing like a solid Swamp Ash body. But, equally, a particular piece of bubinga may resonate differently than another one. I have owned four Warwick Thumb NT basses, for example, all having identical construction in terms of how "solid" the build is, and two pairs of the exact same pickups/preamp. They all sounded different, noticeably so.

**SOLD** Warwick Corvette SHORT SCALE ... 2 Band ACTIVE
Kev replied to Adee's topic in Basses For Sale

Maybe! Anyone else notice the name change? IE it is now ONLY called the Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine, and all references to ADAM have been removed, including the name on the pedal? Its almost like they've distanced it from being the Nolly signature pedal and instead are just calling it a collaboration, its a bit odd. I mean, I get it from the perspective of people being put off buying it as they don't like the Nolly/Dingwall thing, but it can't just be that. I've asked a couple of times on public posts and had no response...

Always a struggle to find a parking space for gigs in town. At least with this bass I know I've always got a safe spot under the E string.
