Hm it's usually the best unless you're blending in some clean, in which case Band Pass can work really well too. But on the original Mutron, LP was the only mode that sounded good with bass.

Just bought a pedal from Bert, very quickly posted and as described. Great seller! Cheers

Just bought this modded OC2 from here. I wanted a single pedal which I could throw in the loop of my Meatball filter to give an octave synth sound, so this is perfect as it gives both octaves with a delicious fuzz which pairs with the filter perfectly.

They’re super enthusiastic about a very small handful of manufacturers and players.

Eich BC112pro solved all my problems. Amazing DI, flexible EQ and tilt control (great for adjusting the character for different basses) and it leans back for monitoring without needing a compromised wedge shaped enclosure. Very light and well made. You can turn off the cab and use the amplifier for headphone practice too. I always liked the idea of a good combo but found the problem was that they fired at my feet so this solves that problem really well. I’ve never heard myself better on stage. I tend to put it to my side between me and my drummer.

This is the way 👍🏼 @TheGreek I’ll give you a sub so you can post there if you like. I’d love to buy Nick’s Vigier Arpege but I fear I won’t be able to afford it right now. I’ll see if I can sell some things.

This is the way 👍🏼

Hi folks I just saw this post https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/instruments_de_musique/2966166271 I still keep an eye out for Vigier things and I thought these pickups looked interesting. The single coil Benedetti pickups are indeed fantastic but can be noisy in some applications and before they introduced the hum reducing circuit. Cheers ped

Absolute shambles from start to finish

Interesting, thanks. It suddenly occurred to me that the earliest ones I have seen are on 66 mustangs. What did Daphne blue 66 stands have, plain white?

That’s what made me think - was it introduced on the mustang and than made available on the P and J, or was it found on those before 66?

More pickguard chat - what year did Fender start making white pearloid?

Ah I didn’t read that. Sounds right!

…and look at the body pics with the scratchplate removed. It’s been repositioned south. Probably because of shrinkage.

Maybe. But mine shrunk and pulled the screws instead of cracking. When I had it re fitted I had the choice of having the gap either at the control plate or the neck pocket. If you look closely at the pics maybe you can see a slight ghosting where the plate used to be (I think I can but I’m on my phone and perhaps imagining it). No expert on necks though so who knows, although a neck swap wouldn’t explain the pickguard gap anyway.

Doesnt surprise me! Somehow vintage always seems to equal ‘amazing’ regardless

It may have shrunk and been repositioned

yeah I really want to try those!

How did you rate the Haz Mutron to the Micro?

Ah yes, verticalscope. Using terms like 'reach out' 🤢 I've been approached by them (reached out to? reached around?) a few times and they didn't seem like a remotely safe pair of hands.

I don’t suppose you can change the sensitivity internally. Just goes to illustrate how finding the best filter for your own style also needs to take into account the output and bandwidth of your instrument.

Is there anything this chap won’t endorse 😂
