They do... it's not pictured but to be fair it doesn't say it's not included!

PSU with 18v option: T Rex Chameleon or something else?
dannybuoy replied to radiophonic's topic in Effects
One good thing about the CS7 is that you can pretty much ignore the mA labels on the individual outputs as long as you don't exceed the overall total for the entire supply. So if you have any hungry digital multis or tube pedals, or want to run a long daisy chain from one socket, it should be able to cope no problem. -
Get yourself a Behringer CT200. I have the CT100 and it has saved me loads of time diagnosing intermittent faults in patch cables, but the CT200 has Speakon support!

This is worth a punt at £53, it's had some good reports from other users here: http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fame-dc8-multi-power-supply-for-pedal-boards--234581 -

What board are you running? I opted for the Cioks DC5 as it’s one of the only ones that fit under a PT Nano / Metro. So if you have on of those boards then definitely look into it! My next choice, if fitting it under the board were not a concern, would have been the 1 Spot CS7. It can dish out more power and is more flexible than both the T-Rex and Cioks. -
[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1508064426' post='3389505'] Danny, what bass are you using to get such low tracking from your octavers?? [/quote] Yamaha BB1025X is my main bass, it seems to track best with this for some reason, perhaps because the pickups are really hot with a lot of low end
-
Ha, corrected! But now immortalised thanks to your quote!
-
As I recall, for me at least the T16 tracked just as good as the 3Leaf if not better. About as good as it gets for analog anyway!
-
My Octabvre Mini tracks all the low notes amazingly well. It only glitches out on the open E or low B if held for more than a second, but is fine with fifth fret E on the low B! Tracking varies depending on which bass I'm using though, so bear that in mind - one person might get much better results out of a pedal than someone else due to different bass, strings, and technique.

Effects and their interaction with pickup configurations
dannybuoy replied to James_Taylor's topic in Effects
[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1507980065' post='3389113'] I’ll respectfully disagree slightly with distortion working better with a Jazz than a P, depends how you EQ everything. One of the best distorted sounds out there on the planet is dUg Pinnick of Kings X and other bands like KXM. He has generally always used a Seymour Duncan APB split pick up in all of his bases, except for his 12 String. [/quote] That's not quite what I said... I said that out of the Darkglass pedals, the B7K is a better match with a J, and the VMTD a better match with a P! -
Effects and their interaction with pickup configurations
dannybuoy replied to James_Taylor's topic in Effects
Short answer is yes, a Jazz, or PJ, works much better with the B7K and AO than a P! The P is all about the midrange so plays better with the Vintage circuit, whereas the B7K tends to hype the bass and upper mids, fitting well with the natural EQ curve of a Jazz with both pickups on. -
It is a great pedal. You can get sounds out of this that are impossible with other filters. It did have some downsides for me though: - Menus. I hate all pedals with menus! At least the software is very good. - It needs isolated power otherwise it's very noisy. It's also noisy when powered from USB. Silent with its own supply though! - You can hear the filter go up and down by discreet steps which can sound a bit like crackling. The pedal position is probably encoded to a range of 0-128 or similar and then sent to the processor, then the filter snaps to these values rather than implementing some kind of smoothing algorithm. That could probably be fixed in software though! Fun fact - Sonuus HQ is just a couple of miles away from me, right near where I rehearse! When I emailed to enquire about how to adust the rocker tension, he offered to do it for me if I brang it down there, top chap.

If you add a pedal to your cart it lets you select UK for $40 postage... If you were after the JoshWah though hold tight as I might be putting one up for sale. Getting rid of the majority of my pedals to just keep the essentials!

No blend or reverse sweep on the JoshWah, and it's low pass. It sounds a lot like a Mutron III. It gets pretty clean with the gain down low, but not 100%. It has more range and is easier to dial in than the Fwonkbeta. It is a contender for sure, but 'the best' would depend on which bass your playing, what you're playing on it, your fingers, and your ears! Each shines in different situations. I've had it for several months and might let it go as I'm about to massively downsize my gear collection to clear out some clutter and focus on what I need in the band. But like I did with the MXR I'll probably change my mind several times (already sold one of those and bought it back again)!
-
On the board is just a Hotone Bass Press wah pedal. Discumbobulator, MXR and JoshWah I just like to play with at home every now and then!
-
They only recommend that because some digital pedals leak noise into the power line that gets picked up by other pedals. Some, but not all. EHX, Digitech and Zoom are notorious for it, but Mooer and TC have pretty good filtering in my experience and are fine sharing power. Like I said, experimentation is the way! You don't get it of jail free by putting two of these noisy digital pedals on the same splitter either. Especially as many now like TC and Strymon have an analog dry through signal path. It's not just digital ones you want to watch out for, any pedals that double to 18V internally might need isolating too, as I found to my dismay with the RMI Basswitch compressor.
-
A JoshWah should come to just under £200, including $40 postage, VAT and the £8 handling fee. But I might sell mine for less... The distortion on it is no replacement for a dedicated OD though.
-
You should try the OmniCabSim, Andy! Not many about over here though. Not seen the Captor before though, looks great on paper as long as the speaker sim isn't overly dark like the one in the Le Bass? There are a couple of different vibrating platforms on the market to give you a big rig feel when using IEMs, including one for sale in this forum somewhere. I'd feel like a bit of a knob standing on a neon-lit platform at a gig though!
-
I had the B9 and C9, kept the B9. Lent it to a friend who keeps forgetting to bring it out when I see him! Must get it back! How's your filter quest going Al? I've decided to keep the MXR btw, thanks for not buying it off me!
-
It doesn't matter at the end of the day - you can get the mA rating from the manual, and test manually in a daisy chain to see if it creates noise when sharing power with other pedals. Those are the only two things that are important!
-
I think pretty much all tuners except the old school ones with the moving needle are digital. That doesn't necessarily mean it needs isolating though - I know my Polytune doesn't have any problems on daisy chain with other pedals.
