Your back won't be a fan though - they may look small, but they are heavy!

Big muff mods: [url="http://rkerkhof.ruhosting.nl/Taas/Mods/Big%20Muff.htm"]http://rkerkhof.ruhosting.nl/Taas/Mods/Big%20Muff.htm[/url] There's info on the noise gate mod in there and also the feedback mod comes highly recommended, same as what's in my Supercollider Beast!

If you're after a high quality Colorsound Bass Fuzz clone, the sfx Micro Fuzz is a good option:

Shameless plug time, I'm selling a Behringer Micromon MA400, you can use your DHA DI to feed into the mic socket (I used a Radial JDI with mine): I know it's Behringer, but the sound quality is pretty good and it's cheap as chips!

Nice work! I suggest adding a Nocto Loco... I have the kit for one ready to build that's been sitting here untouched for over a year! One day I shall finally build it...

I've not tried that many filters, but the WMD Fatman is certainly what I'd describe as deep and throaty, along with the Chicago Iron Parachute or Wilson Freaker wah pedals if you're not just limited to envelope filters. Heard god things about the Guyatone BR-3 Bottom Wah Rocker too, they did some re-issues recently too due to demand from all the Tool fanboys!

After a year or two playing with myself, I'm now gigging once again. Haven't posted for a while, but here's what I'm currently rocking: Wilson Freaker Wah -> Korg Pitchblack -> Xotic Bass BB -> SFX S&M with Bass Big Muff in the loop -> SFX X&M with Carbon Copy and Small Stone in the high channel I had to pick up the S&M to blend the Bass Big Muff since EHX screwed up and made it so you can only mix in your wet signal with 100% dry level on the blended mode, which gives too much volume. But I need it as I haven't managed to find a better combination than my BB415 with both pickups on into the BB into the blended BBM! Such a doomy crunchy tone yet with plenty of clarity, since it's effectively a light overdrive and boosted fuzz in parallel. The Freaker is a smaller cheaper more adjustable replacement for the Parachute wah that I have up for sale (will get around to eBay-ing it one day). It sounds evil going into the fuzz! The X&M is there so I can just add delay and phaser to the midrange and treble, although I mainly use these for freakout oscillation noises, adjusting the pitch with my big toe whilst playing bass.

The SFX is great for a Muse sound. If you want to borrow mine I wouldn't mind a temporary swap with your DHA fuzz!

New gigs added!

I have one also, great amp, but unlike it's bigger brother the AD200 it doesn't sound too great at high gain. For a motown sound I still prefer to add fur with a Catalinbread SFT pedal rather than rely on the tube pre alone though.

The Xotic Bass BB Preamp sounds pretty similar, but with more low end on tap thanks to the EQ and a much smaller footprint!

I haven't played live for a while since I left my last band a couple of years ago, but this Saturday I will be standing in on bass for Crybaby Deathmatch! Stoner / Doom is the genre, in the vein of Kyuss, Clutch, Acrimony, Shrinebuilder, etc. We'll see how it goes but I may end up joining them officially since I'm really enjoying playing with them! If any of you fancy coming down let me know and I can put your names down for cheaper entry - no free guestlists unfortunately since we're pretty much nobodies! UPDATE: Forgot to check back at this thread, will subscribe to auto updates from now on! Just updating it rather than starting a new one... The first gig went well, now we have 2 more lined up before the end of the year! The Anam Bar one is free as far as I know, the Rhythm Factory might be a few quid to get in, to be confirmed.

I played through an Orange AD200 full stack yesterday at Rooz rehearsal studios. It sounded bloody damn good, the Terror pales in comparison. I'd love to upgrade also!

I know Chris doesn't use one, but the sfx Micro Fuzz is a great alternative to the muff for Muse type sounds. Tons more low end and a synthy edge when set to high gain. If you want one small pedal that will get you in the ballpark for Time Is Running Out, Starlight, etc it's definitely worth checking out. Unlike most fuzzes, it retains the DEEP lows that hit you in the chest!
