Hi mate, a pedal I had cool results from - especially for the Zender stuff - is the Crowther Prunes and Custard. Here's a sample I recorded a while ago running it through the AF-9 to try and cop the "Sir Psycho" tone: [url="http://media.putfile.com/Sir-Psycho---PC---Maxon-AF-9"]Sir Psycho Sexy[/url] And here's one with the P+C by itself, trying to emulate the synth tone on Deeper Underground by Jamiroquai: [url="http://media.putfile.com/Deeper-Underground---Prunes-and-Custard"]Deeper Underground[/url] As to the EBS vs the Mutron, I've only played with the EBS briefly, but it does have some rather cool filter sounds. It's a different beast to the Mutron though. The Mutron is the classic old school funky filter. I wouldn't use anything else now!

Well you definitely won't be getting the Sir Psycho Sexy sound without running some kind of dirt into the filter. The same goes for the Zender stuff. As a stand alone filter I absolutely love the AF-9. If I didn't have a Mutron III it would be the AF-9 sitting on my board. Try running some kind of fuzz into it!

They are simply wonderful.

Put the tuner at the end of your chain. If you're running a load of true bypass pedals, the buffer at the end will send a nice signal to the amp. Being able to mute everything at the touch of a switch as dangerboy said, is another advantage of doing this. If you need to tune, just turn off everything before hand. That's what I like about things like a Master Bypass on a true bypass strip - it'll turn off whatever loops are on, then you click the switch again, and everything that was off now comes back on - making tuning quickly a breeze.

Ooh, I'd be very interested in this! If I could get in line that would be fantastic! Cheers

+1 I've never had the need for an Impedance Buffer, but would just like to say that Joe built me a pedal a little while ago, (another prototype) and it sounds awesome, and Joe has been really helpful with my enquiries. The quality of his work combined with (what will be) decent prices (once out of the prototype stages) points to a rather succesful future, whether he takes this full time, or just a part time project. All in all, fantastic work Joe, am looking forward to your future creations

I'm am in awe![/quote] Wow! That is nice. A good price too! Congratulations on your new bass

I wish I had a decent way to record clips. I've managed to get some awesome sounds running: Boss OC-2>Modded Russian Big Muff>Mutron III>Atomic Echo Clone (Way Huge Aqua Puss clone) Sometimes I whack an MXR M-117R reissue Flanger in for good measure

Ooh, some lovely basses in this thread. Would absolutely love to have a Rickie or a copy, but it's just not that high on the priority list. There is a lovely blue Rick fretless in one of the Bass shops round the corner on Denmark St. They want £1450 for it though IIRC, so I'll be (ricken)buggered if I'm gonna buy it

Lookin' good Ste. Way too many pedals for a bassist though

[quote name='Toasted' post='220630' date='Jun 17 2008, 02:46 PM']The best, IMO bar none is the Analogman Mini Clone Chorus with Deep Mod. It's just supelative in ever way.[/quote] +1 - I had to get rid of mine due to lack of cash, and need of a fuzz pedal, but I have no doubt that if I need a Chorus again in the future, it will be the Analogman.

[quote name='Ant' post='220266' date='Jun 16 2008, 10:27 PM']for anyone who has been put off diago boards after reading about this, the newer ones ive used when compared to older ones ive had use much stronger glue under the carpet and feel looooooooads sturdier - bloody excellent.[/quote] +1

Ant your board gets better everytime I see it. Good stuff.

This is probably the best fretless Wal I've seen. Congratulations on having such a beautiful bass in your collection. My dad sold his Wal Mk II that he had made

If you're looking for an analog octaver, I really don't think the OC-2 can be beaten for the price. OC-3 is sh*te, EHX Octave Multiplexer is another good one, but I don't think it has the mojo the OC-2 does.

The basement itself has some display stands but looks basically gutted.[/quote] Wow! It's weird to think I probably walked past you! I can get to Zavvi from my office in about 60 seconds
