oh and it sounds really nice. punchy but clear. Not got a bypass switch in it so can't A/B it- whoops!

what had they put in?

I just know it's not my skill... same with painting a room, I'll paint a large room in 10% of the time my wife would take - but I'm hopeless at cutting in neatly. My day job is as a designer and the idea of solving the problem and designing everything in on one PCB appeals to me. It's a Frog FX1 https://frogpedals.com/index.php/product/frog-tube-preamp-fx1-ruggedized/ which is essentially a Fender Dual Showman / Alembic F2b Preamp preamp running at 450v inside

It only bloody works!! currently using the only tube I have (telefunken German ECC82) which sounds nice and warm - a lot less gain than a 12ax7/ECC83 would have - it will also take 6n1p and 6n2p so if I want to get into tube rolling I could

that bad eh

I always forget how much I hate off board wiring

you mean you are actually learning music instead of just faffing around with gear?

I sold my HX stomp because I just didn't want to use digital interfaces and the time needed for playing bass - so I can understand that. I got a a C4 synth because for the odd thing I could, I plan to load it with a set of presets that I probably won't ever touch the settings on to make it less complex... but then need to buy or build a USB midi switcher to change between patches... so more complex! (or expensive if I bought one)

@disssahas in a B

I’ll just leave this here for everyone ( @fretmeister excepted) Compressed pineapple Thread over I guess.

I got one recently, only just started playing with it - it’s good, v good.

+1 I was all set to get a cali76 based on reviews, and sound clips … then I got to try one and it was instant dislike … esp side by side with a spectracomp which I liked

And this which has slightly newer ones https://www.compressorpedalreviews.com/ On my shortlist empress bass cali76 atlas and ended up getting an Omnicomp

Should of waited for this thread before I bought ouwt! to be fair I think it was the size of the dano that put me off - the valtone clone of the ce-1 was also tempting and fairly cheap

I hopefully bought a chorus this week (with the risk of fb purchasing, fingers crossed it shows up) this thread is a week or so old and quite helpful https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ok-for-the-millionth-time-best-bass-chorus-pedal.1581647/

Not easy to find though

limited edition one too!

ah cool. I have a colour box that gives the transformer sound.... I can't describe what it sounds like, but I can tell when it's not there!

what's it for? decoupling the instrument?

125B I guess from the spacing of the jacks ?

I found these yesterday... no idea what they are like and can't find any reviews but similar size to square plugs. EBS gold are thinner https://www.amazon.co.uk/Units-Effects-instrument-Eminence-Connectors/dp/B09SWHPKLT/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2LHC5FE69XWB2&keywords=WORLDS+BEST+CABLES+mini&qid=1666704530&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjIyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=musical-instruments&sprefix=worlds+best+cables+mini%2Cmi%2C107&sr=1-8

Anyone bought anything from pedalpcb - have you got stung with import fees?

Glockenklang do this for clean pre style… Sadowsky for less clean style has the passive tone control as well as boost only bass and treble John east as meantioned makes amazing stuff but if you know you like passive instruments that and some external preamp might be the best idea!

You don’t get splatters of cement when you are making pedals? Everyone knows added weight gives more low end response right?? all about the tone
