  1. On a private advert on fb marketplace?
  2. Ultra wave will do two band up to ten band split
  3. I liked trying this one a few years back. Great bass
  4. if I had to sell all my pedals - my one of these would be the last to go. I would be out of tune but I would sound great!
  5. 2024 Pedals cull - part 1 Schalltechnik_04 VONG Filterung It's a HPF! It's a LPF! It's a boost! Its a DI! Basically the classy European answer to a Broughton HPF/LPF with added functions and a better* HPF *i.e. steeper £75 posted to your door (UK) Their spiel .... The VONG-Filterung features: adjustable HighPass-Filter (30-140Hz) 4th Order-Filter -> -24dB/Oct. -12dB/Oct. fixed at 30Hz -12dB/Oct. adjustable adjustable LowPass-Filter (.250-22kHz) 2nd Order-Filter -12dB/Okt. adjustable DI-Out with Ground-Lift-Switch adjustable Boost (up to +16dB) for the 1/4″-Output (can be set 0 to +16dB, or unity to +16dB, I've done the former) Polarity-Switch (180°-Phase) for the 1/4″-Output The Footswitch allows three different configurations: LowPass-Filter: ON/OFF (how I've set it) Volume-Pot (Boost): ON/OFF Volume-Pot (Boost) and LowPass-Filter: ON/OFF The first two options are quite intuitive – though it’s good to mention that there’s no audible difference between LPF=ON@22kHz and LPF=OFF therefore it is not needed to turn the LPF off if it is not wanted; just turn the knob to 22kHz and forget about it. The third option is quite nice to avoid the a drop in volume if the LPF is set to very low frequencies. That way it is possible to get reggae-like sounds without any volume drops. 10M ohm input - can be used with piezo pickups 125b size 32mA current draw I got it as I used to use a HX stomp and used a high pass filter and low pass filter block on that as a pseudo cab that sounded nicer than a IR... so I recreated it in analogue form... I know @Owen uses his with the Piezo pickups on his double bass... Mine is set up with footswitch option 1 - so in practice I stick the pedal at the end of the chain as an always on HPF and master volume control - I then hit the FS if I'm going to be using lots of gainy drive/fuzz pedals so it sounds nice, like bass fuzz into a bass cab... rather than bass fuzz straight into HF horns and your in ears... you know it makes sense! So a useful wee box... but not getting used by me. Built as a kit by yours truly - I'm not a professional pedal builder but I know what I'm doing well enough that it's well built - semi polished aluminium enclosure with a Vong v60 filter graphic done as a brushed aluminium sticker for those who like a combination of coffee and bass pedals. (It's laminated finish so hardwaring and I probably have spare stickers I can send too) I'm a designer by trade so personally prefer my coffee joke to the official design you sometimes see... The kit costs around £50 posted if you include knobs (but it's in lots of bits, and without graphics ) Built up I've seen these for sale on Basschat for over £100, which seems a bit steep to me -so am thinking £75 including postage to a UK address? Cheaper if you collect. I can set up the boost and foot switch options to your liking before I post too. Trades - not really needing anything, you can try me, a Zoom MS70cdr would be fun...
  6. you're right. - who needs three delays?

    Peak Wal?

    Wal are not the only bubble.... Yesterday Facebook marketplace showed me a well worn 1980 fender jazz with a broken pickups... fella wanted £2k And then a 1978 precision for £2.8k this is the era of Fender that's seen as the worst in it's production life! it's mad. It's like a form of long covid where bass players will pay silly money for old fenders, Wals, 3leaf pedals... while at the same time from what I understand there's a glut of new gear in the market as they over produced during the covid period.
  8. practice a bit and then do this- it sounds like it would be great! Don't over think it!

    DIY Effects

    @disssa traced and rebuilt whichever drive it is that is considered really good
  10. haha - I'ld not seen them - I can tell what it's based on from the typography

    DIY Effects

    the IC that has 16F printed on it....
  12. the link @tauzero posted is interesting too - built on a board that's 90% cheaper too...
  13. did you end up building this? Why not use the HPF in the zoom? (I ask as someone looking at a MS70cdr and with a Vong sitting unloved on a shelf! )
  14. Mind you a Pi Pico is a fraction of the cost of a Teensy
  15. It's this I found - which the a guy in Ireland who made the video - ... https://github.com/MichaelMCE/TeensyC4Synth
  16. detected encoder... I want to work out how to do this kinda of magic
  17. Yes
  18. Or phone via the cable that goes into input two works too. agree about the volume levels - set a compressor to limiter mode after it!
  19. this is what I would love (not the tuner and delay feature)
  20. yes - you just click on them and can trial them.
  21. not working for me. do you have to enable it?
  22. See what I really want is a rotary knob that lets me choose any of the 140 odd presets... the footswitchs are ok but having to remember what each patch is from number quickly gets tiring
  23. hmmm but one with the plugs on the end would work better...
