  1. Mine has exactly the same mods (aguilar pickup) and sounds awesome with flats!!
  2. [quote name='The59Sound' timestamp='1509997867' post='3403163'] Bearfoot Blueberry. Mods can now close the thread. [/quote] yeah that's on my Christmas list theres a Hookers Green bass machine on here,isn't it supposed to sound close to the blueberry??
  3. Sub n up mini,will definitely be my next purchase
  4. I've had the EHX BSF and it works well for that kind of sound, however I didn't care for the high mid tonality it added. I also had A VT bass, which I struggled with when setting the gain higher for drive as the volume jumped far too much (sounded amazing as a clean preamp though, so ill get another) I'm currently using a COG Knightfall the old version without the clean blend, it sounds fantastic when the gain is set low and reacts to your volume (the harder you play, the more it breaks up) it also can get quite heavy if needed, it's called a Distortion, but it's more like an OD.
  5. I notice from the Iron Ether site that the Subterranea is no longer available Is the FMeron a succesor/evolution of that pedal or am I right in thinking that owning both would cover most analogue and digital tones? i really want the FM but i won't have £250 spare anytime soon (especially as I've recently spent £400 ish on pedals/power supplies and new patch cables,money from a bass sale!) P's I love your demos Mr Rizer
  6. Ooh I bet that'll cost ya!! I want one! A Subterranea too

    I went with the Cioks,so it would fit underneath! A cheaper alternative would be the Fame one,which appears to be similar to the Cioks. Its to big to fit under neath a Nano though
  8. I actually have a gear 4 music keyboard bag,that i keep my amp in. Im not at home at the moment,but it's much better quality and well padded,so ill try it when I get home. I think it'll be slightly too big for mine,for a junior it may work. It's on gear 4 music's website for £25 check out the dimensions. I think it's very short sighted of Pedaltrain,not to offer hard/soft cases as an alternate! Otherwise I'd purchase the hardcase. There is a company called castle that do flight cases to fit metros, but i don't want something that heavy duty.
  9. Hi Everyone I currently have a Pedaltrain Metro 20, now I'm very unimpressed with the quality of the soft case that came with it (kicking myself for not buying the hardcase version). As the number of pedals I have on the board has grown and has a large number of expensive pedals, I'm concerned the soft case won't give enough protection. I much prefer the portability of a soft case, so has anyone used an alternative soft case with a lot more padding/waterproof. Ive been looking at the rockbag pedal bags and they look ideal, has anyone used one? cheers
  10. [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1509565504' post='3399993'] All these EBS pedals are the same size, I think the MXR pedals are ‘slimmer’. [/quote] Yeah you're right!! I was hoping they had shrunk them a bit very tempted but spent too much this month!
  11. I can't tell from the pics! But is the Octabass slightly thinner than the older model EBS pedals (is it a bit more like MXR?) just checked some comparison pics,- and the width is the same, just sits higher! I was hoping they had made the enclosure smaller.

    Pedaltrain drilled and Cioks fitted
  13. [quote name='chickenjames' timestamp='1509394408' post='3398620'] Thanks man, this is cool. I’m currently leaning towards MXR BEF and octave, will let you know what I think just as soon as I make to the music shop! [/quote] The MXR bass octave deluxe is well regarded! I've not tried one myself,but it's on the to do list. Add them to a synthy fuzz and pure Stevie Wonder bass
  14. As my board is getting ridiculusly crowded and im determined not to buy a bigger board, something has to go! up for sale is my fantastic Tech 21 Red Ripper. Its a fantastic Synthy fuzz with a three band EQ. The RIP control brings out a whole plethora of synth as well as fuzz/distortion tones, its really versatile, it is completely touch sensitive and works with the playing dynamics much like an envelope filter. it does sound almost like a cross between a gated fuzz and envelope filter and at higher gain/RIP settings it gets into Brassmaster territory with octave up tones. it even cleans up quite well to use as a dirty 3 band EQ , put the rip control to zero and its a very heavy standard fuzz/distortion. Ive been using this with a Cog T65 and 3 leaf Wonderlove and getting amazing synth/moog tones and id keep it if I could afford to and just use it on another board in the future, I'm selling as I'm getting a 3 leaf Doom which is a bit smaller and does a similar job (without as much functionality). [url="http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/effects/redripper.html"]http://www.tech21nyc.../redripper.html[/url] some ok demos on youtube, but if you're looking for an inexpensive synth engine, then look no further it isn't boxed ,but will be well packed, id like £95 including delivery - ON HOLD! Diago Micropower 9 As ive just got a great new Cioks DC5, so now this is redundant and I have a one spot as a back up, it is boxed and working perfectly! it also has an upgraded plug as I damaged the old one and Diago very kindly gave me the lead from the ,more expensive Powerstation, ill even throw in the Daisy chain for 6 pedals which normally costs extra. £20 posted £110 if both bought together

    yeah I'm being soft!!! ill get holdof a drill and do it properly, took one look at the tape and I'm not convinced

    Thanks everyone! It's not about resale value or anything, it's just I don trust myself with a drill and need to borrow one. Daft question I know!! what size drillbit do you use (I really don't do DIY)

    Well I've just bought some Gorilla double sided tape ! I've looked online and the consensus is to drill holes,but i don't have immediate access to a drill and i need my board tomorrow night. The hard part will be removing the extra strong velcro I put on could do with the Hulk for a hand. my brother in law has a drill so I may end up drilling it next week when I will be rearranging the board again I'll post how the tape works for future reference!

    Yeah ripping out the feet sounds more hassle than drilling! The supply is on the floor and the front feet are slightly off! I think the double sided tape sounds like a plan! I'm off to homebase

    Been watching the youtube vid on mounting these and i really don't want to go that route as my Metro 20 doesn't have any room left at all (although I'm moving on my mid sized red ripper fuzz fir a 3 leaf doom which is smaller) and i wouldn't be able to put pedals on top of the screws (if they stick out a bit). The guy on youtube must have been using normal velcro as he states it's exactly level with the feet,while mine is a teeny bit longer (the strong velcro Ive used is thicker). I'm going to look at the double sided tape as that may work! Has anyone replaced the feet on a metro? And if so where do you source deeper ones?

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1509358797' post='3398226'] Double sided tape should do the trick. I'd investigate to see if there's any industrial strength stuff out there though rather than the bog standard. [/quote] what are you currently doing with yours Dan? Is it drilled?
