    Excellent compressor. After owning the Cali76, MXR, Diamond, 3Leaf and a number of others, this is the one that stayed on my pedal board.

    I snapped. I blame whoever it was who suggested the Thomann return policy.

    Pictures as promised Few enquiries already but still available.

    Up for sale I have my Barefaced Midget-T cab with roqsolid cover. Fantastic cabinet, very small and light but very loud, the dispersion is superb and it's very solidly built. In perfect working and great cosmetic condition. It is missing a foot on one side, believe the Barefaced site links to the exact part needed for a few quid, and has a few small marks here and there as the pics show.. I never stand it on the side missing the foot so never bothered replacing it This is the Generation Two model with the tweeter. A wonderful often overlooked part of the design is the tweeter attenuator pot being placed at fingers reach inside one of the bass ports in the front. No more reaching awkwardly over the back of the cab to adjust. Ingenious, and I don't think the newer models have this feature anymore . This cab stacks remarkably well with the Gen 3 cabs, and Alex actually commented that this technically works better with a Gen 3 Super Compact than a Gen 2 Compact. Originally selling as I am finding the Super Compact being enough for me on its own with the gigs I am doing (PA Support), however in typical GAS fashion I am now looking at replacing with a BF 2x12 to keep the volume but in a 1 Cab solution, so no trades please unless for a Super 12T or Big Twin II. I may also consider a Big Baby II. £350 firm is what I am after for a quick sale. Located in Leamington Spa, will happily deliver most places for petrol money. Cheers!

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1484440894' post='3215552'] It was a one off and it finally resolved in the customers favour. I don't see the relevance. [/quote] It was relevant to Molan's arguement. As usual, every post on here is right and every post on here is wrong, depending on your opinion. As per previous, let's now keep this on topic!

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1484417988' post='3215380'] I wasn't aware of any AC issues - PM me the details? [/quote] There is a rather infamous Talkbass thread you should check out. Certainly did enough to make me overlook any instrument of theirs going forward!!

    Oof I really like the idea of this as a backup for the Dingwall. Hmmmmm!

    [quote name='blackparkas' timestamp='1483094585' post='3204635'] That´s a shame. Bassdirect isn´t possible to visit this time. I´d love to try their second hand purple one with wenge neck.... [/quote] I have one such Dingwall and it's very, very good, well worth the trip to take a look if you are able to! The purple finish is lovey and the Wenge neck is gorgeous.

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1484351718' post='3214975'] It's not strange at all Chris, just basic integrity. We won't stock anything that we don't believe has a basic level of quality and that we can stand behind. Our reputation rests on supplying decent quality goods that we know will perform well, won't break and won't deteriorate rapidly. Too many customers with extremely bad experiences in terms of quality control and build for us to be able to sell them as a reputable dealer [/quote] I thought you stocked alleva coppolo??

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1484314769' post='3214599'] Get it from Thomann. If you don't like it send it back. Distance selling is the bomb. But do not send it back until you have downloaded and messed with these patches - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2_tqOG3lexBb0dMYTluOTczZUE [/quote] That's a really good point, actually. Damn you for planting that seed!!!!!

    [quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1482079969' post='3197452'] £322 on Thomann at the moment. £360 direct. https://www.thomann.de/gb/panda_audio_future_impact_i.htm?ref=search_prv_3 [/quote] That's a tiny bit better, still far over what I would want to pay for one (remember when Deep Impacts were £85??). Did the issue with the finish peeling off and the notchless pots get resolved at any point?

    Bergantino - probably the most common 'boutique' cabinet in the for sales sections on this site. Somewhat at contrast to a couple of posts in this thread! There always seems to be one for sale.

    [quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1484237735' post='3213864'] same here, i have been wanting to switch between all 3 settings, just adding different levels of drive is useful especially using the VMT when just wanting to thicken things up when a dual lead harmony is going on and then still have the ability go full on b3k to make any particular parts jump out of the mix. yeah a separate eq would be great but to be honest the drive section sounds great without the need for it for me. [/quote] I use different EQ, Drive and Blend settings from my fave B3K tone and Vintage, as such I rarely use the Vintage circuit as it isn't practical for me. But, if you do use the same settings for both, I can certainly see the footswitch's uses.
  17. Kev
    Yes, I'm saying 3 will do it for almost all scenarios. Clean/Dirt, B3K/VMT, Mute. I agree that in the four switch format it may require one less stomp if the switching is automatic, to go B3K - Clean - VMT. Do we think stomping on a B3K or VMT switch will automatically switch dirt on? If so, I get it now I didn't look at it that way I would not have a use for it anyway as I like the tiny footprint of the included footswitch and I would never use the B3K and Vintage with the same settings.
  18. Kev
    To avoid any confusion here, you cannot run the B3K AND the vintage circuit with the new switch, it is still one or the other and pressing one switch turns the other off. This is why I don't understand why they need to be separate switches, function would be basically identical with one , just smaller and simpler?
  19. Kev
    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1484162819' post='3213224'] Presumably because some will want to use 3 tones in a tune. Cycling 3 usually means having to go past 1 you don't want at that time. It also means having to change ahead of the beat too. [/quote] I don't understand this. If you have a clean switch, and a second switch that switches between B3K and Vintage, how will having 3 switches make changing sounds easier?

    [quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1484131313' post='3212852'] Its marketing. [/quote] [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1484134434' post='3212880'] Yes and no. It's intelligent compared to other footswitches as it uses a standard guitar cable to send specific signals for the microcontroller in the amp to interpret. Not sure what makes it SUPER intelligent though... [/quote] Because the standard footswitch is the Intelligent Footswitch. Intelligent Footswitch 2 doesn't really have the same ring... One thing I want to pick Doug's brain about is why he went for a four switch foot pedal. I don't see any reason why the Vintage and B3K switches needed to be separate. One switch that just operated like the switch on the amp would work, and a smaller footprint as a result.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1484089306' post='3212682'] The Barefaced 12 inch driver is a wonder. Sound wise, little comparison to the Bergantino CN112 I had, Barefaced beat it on everything but build quality (Super Compact is what I am talking about). If you want performance, Barefaced is certainly the way to go. However, what I would say is a 2x10 and a 1x12 are different beasts. I would never choose a 2x10 over a 1x12. I would look at comparing the Barefaced to a 12 inch (or 2x12) Berg. [/quote] Just to follow this up, I was not a fan of the Gen 1 / Gen 2 Barefaced cabs when I first tried them, genuinely underwhelmed. It is the Gen 3 models with the new driver that stepped things up. I do still use a Gen 2 Super Midget occasionally as it does sound good with the SC.

    Be interested to try one. Same price level as the Dingwall Combustions so stiff competition, but only really comparable with their Super J/ Super P which of course is very much more expensive. I am not entirely sold on the concept of fanned frets at that kind of scale length, though. Amazingly useful for lower tunings and a strong 5th string at the full 37-34 inch fan, not sold on the usefulness and effectiveness of a fan from 34.5 to 32.5, although this is actually a longer scale than the Dingwall Super J/P!
  24. Kev
    Cool, just not sure what you would use it for really. Coffee shop gigs or similar perhaps? From what I have read a drummer would render it a no-no.
  25. Kev
    Tempted, particularly given the cost of an Animato and how identical if not slightly improved this sounds! How is its low end retention??
