Bought an MXR M81 Preamp pedal from Harry. Very easy purchase and he even timed it to be delivered just as I was walking out the door to my gig. Highly recommended.

Looks too good to be true? What am I missing? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281775512390?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] EDIT - Oh, I see - dodgy neck!

Bought a Diago commuter pedalboard from Lee. Really easy purchase. No problems here.

I've somehow ended up with two ODB-3's. So I modded one with a few mods from Brian Wamplers pdf's. I didn't bother with the 4148's, but the other 3 changes improve it a lot :- [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]easy mod to make it much nicer:[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]c10: 1uf[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]r31: 1k[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]c8: .001uf[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]for more smoother compressed tone, change d2 and d3 to 1n4148's[/size][/font][/color] Sounds quite good now (much less fizzy) and has even made onto my board a few times recently.

Just spotted this interesting dual purpose item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar-body-unfinished-or-bass-guitar-chopping-board-/121719181005?hash=item1c57074ecd

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1438417403' post='2834319'] Thanks boys. NoirBass I bought it my eyes wide open as my tutor was showing it to me at my last lesson. I could see it was quite complex but I rashly assumed the manual would be a bit more explicit with at least a glossary in it. [/quote] Ok, well I'd get your tutor to give you a hand - TBH once you get the concept I'm sure you'll be fine.

I feel partly responsible having sold it to you. I didn't find it that difficult to use although I have many multi effects units all with different user interfaces. I had also owed a B3 before the MS-60b and the interface is largely based on the B3's - Any inference might come from being familiar with other Zoom units. I'd have a look at the B3 manual and videos as they are basically the same thing, but the B3 has more knobs to control everything. Good Luck!

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1438189434' post='2832421'] The DigiTech bsw is a very good octaver! That's what I use, tracks extremely well. [/quote] Oh yeah, +1 on the BSW.

I would agree about the OC-2, its a great pedal and if you can afford one get it. I for one don't mind the OC-3. As I always say in these Octave threads, try a DOD Octaplus. They're cheap on the Bay and have decent analogue octave down with a tone control. The Black Label EBS Octabass is worth a look and I would imagine in budget 2nd hand. Quite different to the OC-2 in character, but very clean and easy to dial in.
