Ive been following this build on instagram... Nice to know where it's going to end up! Bad Penny have a pretty unique approach to building pedals which is also nice to see.

Lush!

Looks interesting.... https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/effects-pedals/wah/pour-over-envelope-filter/0234549000.html?rl=en_US Anybody tried one?

I've not owned or played the little stubby, but I own the PF50T and have owned the LB30 and CTM30 at separate times in the past. They kind of overlap a little sonically. If I was pressed I'd say I probably SLIGHTLY preferred the tone of the LB30 over my current Ampeg, but not enough to change... Buying today I'd probably opt for the Ashdown myself, but there's nothing not to like about either of them really!

I'd start with the Behringer BDI for sure. The best value for money pedal out there. The blend knob is your friend! If you're a fingerstyle player I'd also consider adding an Ashdown Hyperdrive (James Lomenzo signature). Still my favourite pedal after years of trying out all sorts.

There's a thread on one of the DIY pedal forums with a list of components to change. I'll be honest - other than checking the thing worked before making the mod I didn't spend any time with it in its original form. I wanted a VT bass pedal on the cheap!

At that price what's not to like? I actually modded an American Sound to sound like a VT...

Ahem...

Wish I'd seen that earlier...

Soon... soon...

Nice!

I've had a few similar setups over the last few years. Ashdown LB30 with an LB 2x12, Ashdown CTM30, CTM15 and Ampeg PF50T (which I still have) with my Barefaced Two10. I'll be brutally honest and say my Roland Cube 30 does a better job for playing for pleasure at home. To really get into the fun stuff all the valve amps need a little welly which gets loud VERY quickly and, while glorious when you get there, would get you ejected from the house just as quickly... So a Roland Bass Cube 30 or a Line6 Studio 110. Both cracking amps. Not tube/valve amps but more practical in my experience!

I've had 2 in my time. A 5 string HH in Graphite Pearl (I think) and a 4HH in the same finish which I traded the 5HH for. I liked the 5 tonally, and it was nice and light, but ergonomically the neck just didn't work for me at all... So I traded it with another Basschatter for his 4HH. Kept it for about a year and there was nothing much to complain about with it... I just fell out of love with it. Having ticked the box now I don't think I'd own another, but there's no real reason for that other than I've ploughed that furrow already! That'll maybe change at some point, although given their current price, my love for all things ACG and all the other basses out there I've never tried, I doubt it! Perfectly good basses. The look never bothered me personally. Sure it's a little different but so what?

Personally, Toontrack EZDrummer 2. Great bit of software...

I'd recommend you try Ashdown's James Lomenzo signature pedal...

EZ Drummer and a few expansions well down in price too. I love me some Toontrack... Got all I need in the meantime though!

Every day's a school day!

Nik at Ceriatone floated the idea of the Aunt Peg YEARS ago on the Ceriatone FB page... I kept on at hime about it every few months but in the end I got fed up waiting and bought a PF-50T instead. Cheaper, more features and WAY more flexible... OK it's probably closer to a baby SVT but close enough for me!
