Marc just bought a pedal off me. Paid straight away with no problems at all. Easy transaction all the way, cheers!
-
Just sold a pedal to Paul. Received the money straight away without any problems, top man to deal with! Would have no hesitation in dealing with him again.

I just sold a pedal to Morten and I can mirror the above. Paid for it straight away, no faffing about and a pleasant guy to deal with. Cheers for the easy transaction! Dave

Can anyone point out a good example of fuzz/distorted bass?
deej replied to Annoying Twit's topic in Effects
Thats a quality song, sounds right up my street. Never heard of them before! -
I think Brian Cook uses an SKB pedalboard. Boss also do a powered pedalboard too but theres only space for about 5-6 pedals.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1255337' date='Jun 3 2011, 12:31 PM']To help you acquire a great pedal and help the seller out, I can confirm the answer to both of the questions is 'yes'. 1) Manual for it shows it works with 9V power or battery ([url="http://www.3leafaudio.com/GRmanual.pdf"]manual here[/url]). 2) I've played an active bass through this - works absolutely fine.[/quote] Cheers mate! If you're expecting commission though, you can sod off Groove Regulator sold.

Ive been pretty happy with my pedalboard for a while now, so ive convinced myself to sell most of the ones im not using instead of holding onto them "just incase". All prices include first class recorded delivery. I will accept Paypal, but due to the fees and limits, id prefer payment by bank transfer. [b]Earthquaker Devices Grand Orbiter[/b] - Nice thick phaser, same sale reasons as above. Slightly faded graphics. [b]WITHDRAWN[/b] [b]Malekko 616[/b] - Real nice delay with modulation options. This is also going because of my M9's revival. [b]WITHDRAWN[/b] [s][b]Demeter Compulator[/b] - Bought this earlier this year to give it a try, but I prefer my Multicomp. Looking for what I paid. [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]Aguilar Octamizer[/b] - Good range of sounds in this box, but I simply dont have a use for it. [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]Earthquaker Devices Sea Machine[/b] - Plenty of knobs on this chorus to tweak to taste. Im using my M9 again though so this is redundant. [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]3Leaf Groove Regulator[/b] - This is the first version without the blend. I just dont do filters I guess. [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]Tronographic Rusty Box[/b] - Big fuss over these on Talkbass. I like it, but I was after a 2 channel overdrive and have just found the pedal for me. Only had it a couple of weeks, so id like to get most of my money back minus all the charges. Comes with the supplied power adapter. Looking for [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]ZVex Woolly Mammoth[/b] - I think this is the 3rd time ive put this up for sale before changing my mind. Simply put, I only use active basses so this is no good to me. There is a piece of chipped paint on the underside but the rest is as you'd expect in good used condition. [b]SOLD[/b][/s] [s][b]Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz[/b] - Versatile muff type fuzz. I have too many fuzzes so its gotta go. [b]£90[/b][/s] All pedals have velcro on the bottom, and they all have boxes except the Compulator and I think the Musket. In terms of trades, theres not really anything I want at the moment. I'd consider some kind of noise maker or something else interesting like that, but im really just looking for the cash so I can sort out my rig. Let me know if you'd like any specific pictures. I dont have a big boy camera though so quality wont be great.

[quote name='I am not excane' post='1252899' date='Jun 1 2011, 05:02 PM']Brian Cook from Russian Circles has a pretty wicked bass tone:[/quote] My first thought was Brian Cook. Love his stuff in These Arms Are Snakes too. Surprised no ones mentioned Death From Above 1979 yet. -
Gotta be dirt for me. I find it easy to use in songs without sounding like its there for the sake of using an effect. I like an aggressive tone so I never play clean.

[quote name='burno70' post='1231114' date='May 14 2011, 05:15 PM']Great board Deej! Sea Machine Chorus = gas![/quote] Thanks. I only got it last week on a bit of a whim on ebay. I thought it looked ace so I bought it to give it a try, hope to give it a proper run soon. [quote name='Al Heeley' post='1231179' date='May 14 2011, 06:07 PM']Did you say REPLACE?! Get a bigger board.[/quote] Ive just come down from a PT2 I like the size of the Jr, but every time I go back to it, theres just one damn pedal that wont fit! [quote name='Finbar' post='1231193' date='May 14 2011, 06:16 PM']Awesome looking board [/quote] Cheers, that Oxide went straight on there! I dont like how american this board is getting though, feel like I need some british built pedals on there to balance things out. Might have a look at the SFX Black Dragon and put it up against the Agro.
-
Just about to wire this up now.. Got a Xerograph Deluxe in the post, not sure which pedal to replace yet though.
-
Bought a pedal off Chris. Posted immediately and duct taped the sh*t out of the box, always a good sign! Cheers.

I think that sums it up nicely. The Agro just doesnt seem very well thought out to me. Poor physical design for a pedalboard, and a lack of any real control over the sound. A standard tone control wouldve been much better. The problem with the contour is that you either have low end OR mids, and the middle ground is just the worst of both worlds. Either you get lost in the mix, or you have a thin sound. The simplicity of a blend really works wonders for the pedal, but its extra expense and more space taken on a board. Despite slagging this pedal off, I do love its distortion. Just a shame everything else is so wrong. Ive wanted to try out an XXL for a while. Im struggling to find an overdrive/distortion that suits me yet so im on a bit of a binge.
-
+1 to the above. Blowtorch is definitely a fuzz, no doubt. I prefer a muff type for my go-to fuzz, but nothing beats a blowtorch for synth sounds with an octave behind it.

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' post='1213530' date='Apr 28 2011, 09:14 AM']How does an active influence the low end loss? Does it drive the pedal harder or something, causing it to clip more quickly? Reason for asking is I play actives and dont understand [/quote] I dont know the technical stuff so im sure others will help out there, and its not the case with all pedals either. Its just that a lot of pedals seem to work better with passive basses, something to do with the higher impedance and all that malarky. The best example is with a Woolly Mammoth, commonly known to suck with active basses.

[quote name='thodrik' post='1213420' date='Apr 28 2011, 01:34 AM']I understand the 'it loses low end' argument, but I don't think it really does[/quote] I use active basses with mine, so maybe that has more of an affect on it? I always feel like my bass is struggling in the lows when the pedal is on, and I really have to attack my bass to be heard. If it had a built in blend then it'd be a great pedal, but for something that costs around £150 new I find it massively overpriced. Really disappointed with all the Aguilar stuff ive tried.
-
Ive never played the XXL, but the Agro cuts a lot of low end. Its a decent distortion sound, but it really takes the balls out of the bass.
-
And another one.

[url="http://www.pedalboardplanner.com/"]www.pedalboardplanner.com[/url] I sometimes use this site for a bit of rough planning, particularly for any future purchases I might be looking to buy. I can see whether they're gonna fit with my other pedals or not.
