I don't think you will find a reverb kit for £35

I stuck a pedal pcb clone of a broughton HPF/LpF at the start of chain and it had a really nice effect. also tried the Euna clone which was an ok buffer too so i mashed them together… with variable input impedance, the bass switch from Euna and the ability to switch the HPF in and out … it works not sure if it’s an improvement as I’ve rearranged the pedalboard since and it has way less effect also doesn’t fit in the spare gorva m45 I have … made the board a couple mm too wide

New Source Audio Pedal - Encounter - Ambient Delay/Reverb
LukeFRC replied to Quatschmacher's topic in Effects
need to watch an actual review but had a fun 30 min playing around with it on Neuro app on my laptop. Does some cool stuff -
we have different definitions of "stripped things back" I think

I’d told Trav “that’s Pete from basschat”

good to see you all!

I like it. Some people like tubes, I like the sound of transformers - my fave preamp I shouldn’t have sold is the hellborg one - that’s based on a neve type transformer and a more modern preamp stage and coil based eq… The colourbox is input and output transformers, two neve style preamp stages and a simpler eq circuit… For me it lets me give a more polished - tiny bit compressed tone to the desk/amp - the eq does any tweaks I want and it just sounds nice - the hx stomp is running amp and cab sims. The bad things: i don’t think it excels at drive sound, it’s that straight into console Beatles thing that works with guitar but I don’t like on bass, esp not last in the chain into a Pa - but you can set it so when it does clip it can clip just the peaks of the notes. if you want that sound I think there are cheaper ways to get similar- Hudson broadcast maybe? the gain, interstage gain and output volume knobs isn’t intuitive to me, and I guess makes sense if you’re going for a driven signal it makes more sense. It doesn’t love hot signals into the 1/4in input - so if you’ve got a preamp before you have to pay close attention to gain staging. I’ve got line level from the stomp going into the xlr in as it sounded better to me. talkbass seems to hate the HPF and write the whole oedal off based on that. At the lowest setting you can combine it with a bass boost for the pulltec type trick and that’s nice. Otherwise my phone has a stocks and stocks app I’ve never used. I don’t discount iPhones just because one feature isn’t made for me. but overall - it’s brilliant and if I had too only have one pedal, my heart would say the colourbox. crayon, for me the joy is a preamp strip style sound with transformers in it. Does Tonex have any neve 1073 style captures - that might be fun? othewise that was a lot of blether from me - go watch Janek Gwizdalas preamp shootout video…

all gone - ta -
They need to pay you to do some YouTube content - Sheffield's version of IMA...

(The filter/chorus/distortion/drive will get added on again)

I took my board to bits at the start of the summer - and partly laziness and partly not really needing much more this is what I’ve used the last few times … it just works
-
while testing It would be rude not to try all 4 at the same time wouldn’t it?
-
In my dreams they add a couple of more bass amps, SWR/eden type, or trace/ashdown, a couple more preamps with a console style and then a load of the moogerfooger effects. That would make me happy.

If you have a patch on the HX stomp with both Left and Right loops on, and they are bypassed And you plug in something to one, but leave the other unplugged. And then try and use say the left one, with the right one unplugged.- HX stomp goes a little bit crazy and does all sort of noise, like feedback or DC in the signal or something. And if you've just built a pedal and are testing it - and get the sound of electrical pain coming out - of course you're going to spend 2 hours tearing your hair out trying to work out what you've done wrong. The answer is compete the other loop with something, or delete the other loop block. I guess it must be the ground connection it's after. but year - that was a crap evening!

What other than Helix Stadium?

Seems I forgot to add that £180 Ono includes U.K. postage . So it’s cheaper
-
I doubt it would be boss/ehx/Mxr as frankly if they wanted too they could bring their own anagram type unit to market - and they aren’t going to undercut their own products. I imagine it will be things like is it the Valhalla reverb where a plug-in can find a new audience and compete with something like blackhole
-
what do you think the plan is with 3rd party blocks? If I were Darkglass it almost would make sense to focus on the drives and comp (which Darkglass are known for) and let others develop the other stuff?

Am I being stupid? top is sansamp and green muff bottom right boss od1 from the font… what’s an arc dreamer?

I like your icon/personal brand at the end

There’s a link between Cimar and Ibanez I think - but later in the 70s or 80s than this bass

1974-76 Diplomat Jazz bass - Made in Japan and looks to be similar to the Cimar 1905 model - but branded Diplomat who I think were a Kiwi brand? I had one of these years back and it was amazing. A really fun playable bass, that was just enjoyable to play. A mate took it off me and still uses it regularly. I've kept my eyes open for one ever since... spotted this, did it up with new bridge and fixed the wiring with two new pots and got it all set up and... It is a really fun playable bass and enjoyable to play... but unlike years ago I've got 3 other basses that do that jazz bass thing, including my main one, and I can just see this gathering dust... so offering it up for sale or trade, just to get money back £180 posted Ono - or trades The Good Its a fun bass to play It's pretty light weight Solid Ash body Mostly original and it really good condition for the age Nice vintage style sound The original bridges on these are evil things with sharp screws - it was also missing two parts - I replaced it with a Gotoh Sets up and intonate well Looks cool really nice neck to play Save money compared to an original 70's fender Comes with old sadowsky blue rounds AND a set of flats that came with it. The look, sound and feel like TI jazz flats I've got on my other bass but I'm only 95% sure they are - I'll set it up for you with either. The Bad From the era just before Japanese basses became accurate - so note the square heel and I think it's 33.5inch scale. Pickups are normal size but with the classic curved ends. So if classic Japanese basses aren't your thing and you are looking for a mod platform - it will do that but not be drop-in for fender parts. With where the bridge pickup was tucked close to the bridge to fit under the original cover, and with the Gotoh bridge being a fair bit longer it looks like the bridge and pickup are closer than a 34in fender bass. The bridge probably could go back a bit if you wanted. The Ugly It could probably do with shielding to get it quieter So it's a fairly cheap, fun, old bass. Anyone have any love for it? Trades... try me, P basses, Telecaster copies, jazz master, Microkorg or similar simple synth... I also seem to like trying effects pedals... .
