What kind of funk? Old school James Brown era raw heavy thump? Or more modern bright slap? If the former, the Aguilar TH500 and Orange Terror Bass take some beating.

I posted the same in the TB thread, but: - WMD Fatman - a unique filter that works really well for dub, drum&bass, etc - A self-oscillating analog delay, e.g. Carbon Copy - digital sims never get this right But also, and I know I'm selling one so I might be slightly biased - the Fuzzrocius BDPG. It's filter control seems to add sub-bass out of thin air and is dub heaven.

Newly put together board. Just about squeezed it all on there without having to turn the tuner sideways! The MXR pair are sideways on purpose as they are used for self oscillation spaceship noises with the knobs being tweaked by my left foot. G-Lab Bass Wowee Wah will be added first in line off-board if I feel like bringing it along too!

Ignoring the crossover, gate, and improved blend control, has anyone compared the deluxe to the standard and found them to sound the same? You should look at the COG Grand Tarkin also if you haven't already done so- a great Russian muff clone with blend and mids control.

Not seen that one before! Picked up a Phase 90 recently, it has replaced my Small Stone and Nux Phaser Core (or it will have when someone decides to buy it!). Only thing that would put me off the 99 is I like to be able to control the rate using my foot, where a big single knob comes in very useful!

Nice clip of some of the low gain settings! https://soundcloud.com/johnk_10/blowerbox-001

It's not aimed at bass players, most guitar drive pedals don't have blends, even the top end ones!

Sounds like it does, although it doesn't have a blend, which I find is useful for that kind of tone.

£700 though. For pairing with a Matamp, you could get a used Barefaced 69'er (now the Retro 610), or Bergantino NV610 / NV412 for that kinda dough though!

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1402560417' post='2474723'] Am I the only person that doesn't get the darkglass thing? I've owned the b3k, b7k and vintage and didn't warm to any of them... Something going on in the upper midrange of them all that I just couldn't get on with. Having said that I've changed the rest of my gear round so might try a b3k again one of these days... [/quote] I like the Vintage, but felt the same about the B*K. However, for that modern industrial/metal tone as in the video above, it's one of the best things out there. A LOT of metal players out there are using the B7K these days.

Never had a volume issue with the ODB-3 myself. I don't know of many cheap pedals that can get in that zone except maybe the flexibility of the Zoom units, being able to add blended distortion, EQ, and smooth it out with an amp sim - there's so many combinations that you're bound to get reasonably close although it would take some effort to get there. It has models of the Sansamp and ODB-3 for example. But honestly, you're probably best off just saving for the B7K if that's the sound you want! Whilst you do so, pick up a cheap Zoom B1on to play with. Drop hints to mum and dad that a B7K would be the best 21st birthday present ever!

Good news then, although very surprising for a volume pedal to cause that. Perhaps it was faulty? Definitely not a dodgy cable that you only used when hooking up this one in the chain?

Audition coming up next week, time to assemble a board once more from the various pedals and cables adorning my floor! Might go for the PT Mini with the wah off to the side, or might try and mount the wah to the PT Jr for extra pedalage.

What type of tort do peeps think would go better with a transparent sunset orange Precision (which is quite dark and almost red/brown btw)? Very interested in the unusual faded orange tort that Spitfire7 does: Lot of coin for a pickguard though...

Mixing 44.1 and 48 won't result in things sounding out of tune, but will result in slight degradation due to the software having to resample one to match the other. 44.1 is the standard for CDs, and 48 for movies on DVD.

I've often been tempted to try running an Orange Tiny Terror alongside my Terror Bass... Maybe one day!

Sounds like you want it before the FX, so if you opt for a passive DI, put it after the TU-2 so it's getting a nice buffered signal. Passive DIs don't have a very high input impedance, so don't sound great with a passive bass hooked up direct. You might want to get an active DI so you can put it first, in case you might switch to a true bypass tuner later on. Radial SB-2 / ProDI / JDI for passives, or SB-1 / Pro48 / J48 for actives. Or, just put your whole chain in a blend loop so you can control the blend and feed a mix of clean/effected signal to both your amp and FOH (using the DI on your head or the one provided by the venue)! Lots of blending pedals available for this. When blending signals however, either in your own blend pedal or by sending the FOH a pre-FX DI signal, you can run into issues where you stomp on a pedal and it inverts the phase, resulting in sound cancellation and low end loss. I'm not sure if the speaker cranker does this, but I suspect it does (I have the speaker cranker but no longer have a blend pedal to confirm).

Darkglass Vintage / Vintage Deluxe is the best thing I've found for adding a guitar amp-like crunch without making the lows sound all farty. http://youtu.be/PDXpw5hEbec

The BBM sounds great if you do the master volume mod to reign in the volume in dry mode and run an overdrive before it! I have the new nano version on the way, hopefully it'll be just as easy to mod, I'll add master volume, mids control, and a feedback switch.

I've got the phaser core and not had any trouble using it on a daisy chain with other pedals. I'm going to have to try it out again to make sure now!
