[quote name='Finbar' post='231670' date='Jul 2 2008, 11:14 PM']What no tuner? I never really understood the impedance thing with those EB volume pedals :/ They didn't sound any different to me. It is very nice looking though - I r jealous![/quote] One is better for Actives, one is better for Passives.

[quote name='Finbar' post='231278' date='Jul 2 2008, 01:09 PM']Not looking for anything that expensive I like my effects, and believe in getting good quality ones where possible, but you have to draw a line somewhere I've not really liked the Echo Park when I've tried it before, and the tap tempo isn't really that convenient to use IMO.[/quote] The Echo Park is the best you'll get in a single stomp box format. Ironically, I've found the tap tempo to be the most convenient to use, when it comes to the single stompers.

Be warned though, while the delay on the Headrush is ok, its quite basic. It's got the standards like tap tempo, repeats (and a nice high frequency damp for faux-analog sounds) it's just a bare bones delay with not many features. Absolutely shines as a Looper though. Most easy and intuitive pedal I've used. Awesome for quick on the fly stuff.

True Bypass - No tone suck.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='229868' date='Jun 30 2008, 05:22 PM']I see, that's understandable. A general question to all of those who gig with more than one bass: Do you leave your basses plugged in all of the time, and use a channel switcher to switch between basses? I can see the need for a switchable volume control, so that the volume for each bass can be levelled out and set, and switched. However, I don't understand why you would leave basses plugged into an A/B switch all the time, it would really annoy me! I have always used a mute switch and just swapped the jack cable going into my bass. Do you think this looks unproffessional?[/quote] Have you never seen a roadie bring on a different guitar/bass for the band after they finish a song? Doesn't look unprofessional in the slightest...Now if you don't mute the output, that's a different kettle of fish altogether

Rich is correct on all counts. No delay while looping, which is a bit of a shame, but at the end of the day it's got 3 independant modes, and in keeping with the size, only 2 footswitches, so turning on delay while looping wouldnt be possible.

+1 to everyone above Diago Powerstation, with a [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,39/category_id,3/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,206/"]18v doubler[/url] will double the voltage from 9v to 18v for the morley, only on the ouput you plug it on to. So the rest will still get 9V. Still works out cheaper than the DC brick too.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='229599' date='Jun 30 2008, 12:08 PM']Most of it please, but especially the original Mutron III !![/quote] I actually have a spare...So providing I haven't sold it by then, there will be one going...If anyone is interested in it - PM's are welcome

Your wish is my command ...Providing I can make it of course

I will be there!! An Italian friend of mine has come over for a few months and has bought me the ticket for me lending him a bass for the time he is here!! I cannot wait!

I hope to be there. If anyone wants to play any of my gear let me know what to bring? Lakland DJ4 with Aero Pups and JRetro Lakland DJ5 with the same Musicman Stingray 3EQ Original Mutron III Akai Deep Impact Akai Headrush Demeter Compulator Digitech WH-1 Whammy Custom Modded Big Muff Way Huge Aqua Puss clone EA iAmp 600 I'm not sure I'm available but if I can, I will try and get there - and bring most of the above with me!!

I regret getting rid of mine!! I really want to get another one, but I can't even fit the pedals I want on my board now, let alone adding another one to it!!

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!

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='228079' date='Jun 27 2008, 03:00 PM']Lakland Darryl Jones with Aero pups - classic 70s jazz sound IMO[/quote] I would have to agree I have that combo in both my DJ4 and DJ5, and a J-Retro in each too - Any Jazz sound I need is in both basses. They are simply wonderful.

[quote name='dangerboy' post='228039' date='Jun 27 2008, 02:20 PM']This colour gets many, many comments.[/quote] And so it should!! What a beautiful bass. Love it. If you're EVER selling it, let me know

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
