[quote name='Gust0o' post='1176007' date='Mar 25 2011, 03:03 PM']Is there any secret to using the Muff alongside an Overdrive pedal? My ODB3 has a selector for distortion, but it very quickly turns to muck.[/quote] Run an overdrive / boost into a Bass Big Muff set to dry mode and you get a super heavy yet defined distortion. You have to mod the BBM with an extra volume control to make the dry mode useable though!

Even worse still, you can only view it when logged in as Yorick. How about attaching the pic here or via imageshack?

Can't go wrong with one of these: [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...;products_id=12[/url] [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=248"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...products_id=248[/url] [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=17"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...;products_id=17[/url] The brick fits under a PT Junior, or in the slot of a PT Mini, probably a Nano but I've not tried!

I'd be interested if it was a threatless.

I bought this not too long ago on here, but have realised I love the sound and feel of my Yamaha BB415 too much, so I think I'll save towards the 1025X Super BB instead! Ash / flame maple body, maple neck with rosewood board, Bartolini Mk1 pickups and pre, Hipshot tuners... It's a lot of bass for the money... for which I am asking for £300. I recently fitted a brand new set of nickel DR Lo Riders, and it'll also come with the D'Addario half-rounds that were on there previously. No case or gig bag I'm afraid, and I don't have a suitable box so pick up only or can meet in London or anywhere near Croydon! Hope Jayblaze doesn't mind me re-using the original photos, but here she is: [url="http://img16.imageshack.us/i/sam0098w.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img688.imageshack.us/i/sam0101vs.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img600.imageshack.us/i/sam0102a.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img855.imageshack.us/i/sam0104.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img189.imageshack.us/i/sam0106b.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img857.imageshack.us/i/sam0107e.jpg/"][/url] No trades, unless you happen to have a BB1025X!

Time to sell a few pedals I haven't used in a while! All prices include postage within the UK, although I can meet around Croydon or London and I'll knock a fiver off. I don't have any pics to hand but can get some taken if necessary - but all are immaculate apart from the 442 filter and Yamaha Octaver which were slightly worn when I received them. Also, all apart form the Yamaha have velcro on the bottom - I can remove this upon request, removing all trace of glue gunk in the process! Only trades I'm currently interested in would be a Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B or Tall Font Russian. [b][u]SFX X&M - SOLD/u][/b] This unique blender splits your signal into high and low channels, letting you apply separate FX chains to both. Sounds great with distortion, delay, modulation, filter or wah on the top end of your signal, keeping the low end pure and intact. More info [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=xm"]here[/url]. [color="#696969"] [b][u]SFX Micro Fuzz - £80 - SOLD[/u][/b] Supremely bass heavy fuzz that's sounds similar to a Big Muff with more gain and lows and has a synth-like quality with the gain cranked. A clone of the Colorsound Bass Fuzz I believe, sounds great for Muse-style distortion. Just noticed they've added a mid-switch to this pedal, this one does not have it. More info [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_fuzz"]here[/url]. [u][b]Earthbound Audio Supercollider Beast - £175 - SOLD[/b][/u] Thought I would never sell this but here I am. I'm not sure whether these are still being made, but with this having serial #001 it could be seen as a collector's item! Really not sure what to ask for this, but seeing as they're hard to get hold of and I'm not going to be upset if it doesn't sell I'm starting off at the price above. Review thread [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/earthbound-audio-supercollider-oscillating-beast-pics-clips-507749"]here[/url]. [b][u]SFX S&M - £80 - SOLD[/u][/b] A parallel blender like the Boss LS-2, but with better components and true bypass (although fewer modes!). More info [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=sm"]here[/url]. [b][u]Tonefactor 442 Analogue Filter - £50 - SOLD[/u][/b] This is a DOD 440 filter clone, tweaked for bass. Rather subtle compared to most filters, sounds great in genres like rock where you don't want to sound like Bootsy Collins! Also sounds awesome after fuzz ([url="http://www.box.net/shared/qammyl0py7"]clip[/url]). This is one of the earliest models before they officially made a bass version, I think it used to belong to Tayste. Finished in black sparkle paint (you won't find another one in this colour), it's in good condition but some of the print has faded slightly. [u][b]Yamaha OC-01 Octaver - £30 - SOLD[/b][/u] Classic 80s Japanese octave pedal, sounds great and tracks well also. It has a more natural sound to it more akin to the EBS Octabass than the synthiness of the Boss OC-2. Bought on impulse as a new toy to play with, but have no real use for it! This has some areas of worn paint but it's otherwise solid. [/color]

How about a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer, they're pretty good actually: [url="http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/behringer-xenyx-502-premium-mixer--31558"][/url] Although most places seem to be out of stock for some reason, but you'll get a good deal on eBay!

When you daisy chain another pedal from the Boss pedal, it somehow shorts out the resistor and gives the pedal full voltage. You can see this for yourself if you plug just the Boss in, then plug in another pedal and the LED gets brighter. I don't fully understand how this works, but I have read it in numerous forum post and confirmed it myself via experimentation with an old OC-2 I once had.

Get a new power supply, it's not worth the risk. As well as pouring too much voltage in, the polarity could be wrong, pedal supplies tend to use reverse positive / negative setup to most other devices. I recommend this one, it'll have enough juice to power a whole board full of pedals via a daisy chain if you decide to get more later: [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12"]http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/inde...;products_id=12[/url]

Looking for a pair of monitor headphones
dannybuoy replied to Mornats's topic in Accessories and Misc
[quote name='Jamesrt2004' post='1164627' date='Mar 16 2011, 04:48 PM']Honestly for a proper decent pair of headphone monitors I'd always get [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/280-0064548-7239972?a=B000AJIF4E"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d.html/ref=r...72?a=B000AJIF4E[/url] Brilliant headphones, used widely at studio's and radio stations. Come in around £80 and kill off any of my other headphones up to £200~ ish.. Also claims of better bass responce etc.. You do NOT want. It just means they will be EQ'd to have more bass. Which you don't want! You want a good pair of studio monitor headphones with a very flat response. The lack of the headphones being unable to handle the bass is due to the phones' not being good enough.[/quote] Beware of cheap cans, there's lots of very convincing fakes around sold by sellers on eBay and Amazon. I bought a pair of those Sonys a couple of years ago and sold them because they sounded crap - it never occurred to me that they could have been fakes until much later when I read about them. The counterfeiters are able to copy everything including the packaging down to the finest detail - but of course the sound will not be up to scratch! Same deal with popular mics. -
Never seen such an adaptor but I can't imagine it would be very good for an audio interface. I assume that just changing the plug would not work as USB and Firewire use different protocols. If the adapter contains a Firewire controller chip then performance won't be great tunnelling through USB so you'd be better off with a native USB interface. Looks like only Apple amd Sony are bothering to include Firewire on their laptops these days! I was thinking of getting a Motu 8Pre but not sure what USB equivalents there are except for the Zoom R16 I was looking at which also happens to be a great standalone solution!
