  1. I was asked to take pics of the innards. In answer to your question, I think it does. It has a good usable drive, and a very flexible EQ section. I've used it as a preamp and as a distortion pedal.
  2. Once again it's still loaded up for the next gig! However I will get there
  3. It's metal. So I guess the inside is all made out of candyfloss
  4. It's packed away at present. I was a little confused by this last night. It felt like metal but was light like plastic. I'll report back.
  5. I used it last night having had zero time with it to try it out. I used it as a preamp. It was extremely straightforward to dial in a good tone and to adjust it to suit when the band kicked in. Sweepable mids are always useful, and the bass and treble are very responsive. I used it with the dirt on throughout and it's not too in your face, but helped in the mix. The thing is extremely light. Feels like it ought to be way heavier and there's no doubt this contributes to a somewhat cheap feel. But it's a cheap pedal, so there's no harm in it feeling cheap. Is it rugged enough to be toured? I have no idea yet, I'll report back if it fails in any way. Anyway, if like me you buy preamps for a bit of fun, and have no intention of forking out a small fortune for one, this is perfect for you. If you want to support the original brand, and more importantly if you can afford to, then this won't be for you
  6. Literally took it out of the box and gigged with it. Just finished. Short review? Bloody brilliant.

  8. I replaced my knobs straight away! Green ones to give it a Trace Elliot vibe.
  9. Aaargh. I heard him pronounce tremolo 'tremollo' twice and had to quit the first video 🀣🀣
  10. I'll report back. It's coming this week sometime.
  11. I was watching Nate Navarro's envelope shootout just yesterday and this one was so clearly the winner. Great pedal.
  12. Sounded amazing. Such clarity, such power.
  13. Google says it's an 11 hour round trip for me. I already own two Reverend basses. And yet this is seriously tempting. Utterly amazing instruments, really top class - do not be deceived by the price.
  14. Couldn't tell you what strings are on most of my basses. I know what I choose to buy in the rare occasions I buy strings, but if a bargain comes up I'll have it.
  15. From the sublime...after my Nuke night yesterday, today I've gone for ...
  16. For no obvious, defensible, or even remotely sensible reason I decided to haul my Bugera Nuke to my Bandeoke gig last night. The venue is big enough but not huge, there's a full PA in situ. As it transpired the decision was fully justified. Sound engineer didn't show, we managed to get some mics working but the backline didn't go through front of house. So I got to enjoy playing at a decent volume and really feel the bass going through me. It was joyful. I used the Nuke biamped with the higher end going to two 2x8s and the low to two 1x10s. There's a control which operates like a tilt shift, once the equipment is sorted it's so simple to bias in favour of the upper or lower frequencies, and the crossover point can also be moved to suit. As usual the place was packed with semi clad nubiles all having a great time. I however had my eyes firmly fixed on the music so headed home with a clear conscience.
  17. I know, but I felt I should apologise as some people can appear personally offended by my choice of equipment. Twenty years ago it was Behringer, now it's Demon FX. Plus ca change and all that.
  18. Fantastic amp at a crazy price. That's my review in a nutshell. I bought it to use with my narrow 2x8 cabs as it wouldn't overhang. The idea being to simply employ the power amp with various different preamps. Obviously I was always going to try it without a preamp and the results were just excellent. It's easy to transport, the onboard compressor is good enough to save a space on my pedal board, the tone controls provide plenty of flexibility and it is as loud as you could want it to be. Put it this way I will be selling my Orange Little Bass Thing now. That should tell you how good it is.
