@ped’s bundle, ped’s rules

12” and horn - sounds awesome

I would ask Stevie but I would imagine the BCcab would pretty much bang on good match for a ABM600 if that’s what you’ve bought ...

Yay you got it!! it it helps you feel any better - if you take inflation into account you only probably payed 2x not 5x what you sold it for. glad it’s come home!

Or a ... there’s some really cracking Japanese makers aren’t there? Ild love a navigator

Or even an older Japanese metro

I think wee sound/video clips would be good. There's the "what can this do" full feature set Alex-Claber-geekout stuff, which is what the technological able lot will want... but there's also the "if you want this sound look this is how I do it" - and just show that warm Motown OD sound, and then Rodger Glover etc. - the I-don't-want-to-have-to-think-about-this baseline setting thing.

or even active basses with all the knobs and switch to a P bass with just two... it's about the interface IMO - both analogue and digital. About ten plus years ago I had a Line6 Pod thing, it got sold after the second Gig where I managed to overwrite my patch within 3 min or starting. Too fiddly and annoying. Fast forward to now and the HX stomp is simple enough interface that for my use it's good enough that the benefits outweigh the complexity. I mean this as lovely constructive feedback to your marketing copy: I think this is something that isn't apparent in your marketing copy. I read it as distortion and fuzz and aimed at a lot more processed sounds. I think, esp with cleaner rigs there's a massive use in a basic distortion sound. One of my fave pedals I had was a clone of the Caitlinbread SFT ... which is essentially a transistor version of a SVT circuit ... what was nice wasn't the extreme sounds but the things it could do at low settings, how it could help the bass sit in the mix nicely. I'ld be interested in knowing what the machinist does at that end - and then how the clean channel can help support it... If you think about the amount of players who use the sans amp to do essentially the same thing... and really that's what I use my HX stomp for...

I would think of two or the big twin then. Or a few of the 2x10 they make that won't be tuned as deep and are more efficient

more seriously- I imagine there's a part of this pedal which is @alexclaber coming up with something cool with a mate and wanting to release it - just cos it's cool and exciting for him. If they are made to order then there's no real biggie if they don't sell crazy well - worst happens is nobody buys them and he just ends up designing his own pedal for himself... Cos it's fun and interesting is a reason people do things sometimes - I guess at some point Crazy Kiwi and Ped thought it would be fun to start a forum to chat about bass in the uk...

Oh cool a thread about that new Barefaced pedal... oh look it's up to 8 pages already and I've already missed the part where everyone falls out....

could you approach it a different way? - you only have a certain amount of clean watts - so more higher efficiency speaker cabs will get more volume per clean watt... If you use a 1x12 cab, get another one etc

oooh I like that!

I had forgotten them! Will be loading the amps to Jon Ellis's ones - they are quite nice starting places

you got two now with the horn? Or one sub one?

it was sometime last decade before the world went crazy

try this... some good starting places. the guy who makes them plays a Yamaha Sheehan thingy so modern sounding P http://drtonelab.com

have you found Dr Tonelab on facebook yet?

So fun story. I went up to Walshy's to try vintage sounding P basses. This did not have a vintage sound, but it did have one of the nicest necks I've ever played. It also looks so good in the flesh It that the Chris tribute model?

the "I bought this new 800w head and sent it back the next day cos the fan kicked in" thing you see sometimes

Firmware updated the output and global settings?

for me how a thing sounds on a gig is the main thing. Like if it was 100% home use then my laptop is more powerful than pretty much any effects pedal on the market and I would just work out a way to use that for signal processing. Not sure if a) that's elitist, I guess some of you might still be using 486s? and b) if anyones done much gigging this year anyway Also - I bought an electric guitar last week... this hx stomp thing is very nice with that too.

To be fair @dave_bass5 pedal buying and views have saved me and probably others a fair bit of money in the past! Don’t knock it, unbiased reviews are good!!

Has that guy unplugged the ones thhe don’t need? 🤣
