I have the Nova Dynamics pedal - so can't comment specifically on the Nova modulation pedals, however, I've owned quite an array of TC rack processors. I would put money on the pedal equivalent sounding incredible too. The Nova Dynamics has got to be one of the best compressor pedals on the market and TC are well known for being leaders in the signal processing market - especially in time based effects such as delay, reverb and modulation. As for the pedal itself, it is really well made, rock solid and dead easy to navigate. Yup, they'd be on my shopping list when looking for such a pedal! Doooooood

Right! Hell yeah! I've just gotten back from a project band rehearsal and had a chance to run the Kilo loud with my pair of HX112's. Well, I guess I gotta do that review now! But it's daft O'clock now and I need my bed, so mebbe do some video work tomorrow. What do I think? Yeah, it sounds great! Annnnnd yes, it's heavy.. I could still carry it one handed by a handle all the way across the car park whilst it is sans rack case, but I feel with all my other gear in a case too it might be a hairy-sphere-ache! Tone and flexibility may just win me over!!! And volume Punch Low end Yup.

Ah yes! I am a fan! Though I haven't caught this tour. Ghost Reveries I think is my fave album.

P.s. Congrats for New Amp Day!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! Mine goes out for it's first loud sesh tomorrow, so expect my review after then too!

Ahh! If i pull my finger out and do my Kilo review, I'll do the HyDrive cabs with it at the same time!

I have a pair of HX112's and so does TinyViking on this very forum too! - I know that he has had his out for a gig or few already so will be able to respond to how they sound up loud, but my pair are yet to go out of the house! I'm hoping that will change soon! - The Hydrives are warmer sounding than their XL range counterparts but still retain that extra bite that the alu' cones give. I've found that as my own bass is quite a bright instrument, I am happy backing the tweeter off on the HyDrive cabs, but there's definitely lots of punch and low end there. I recommend getting your hands on 'em to try out.

Heh heh! Yes sorry about the review lateness, I've been really busy writing for the next issue of Guitar Interactive Magazine. Any amps and effects that I review will be, as far as possible with my 6er, though sometimes that may not be possible. I'll let you know when I know more and will post my review soon.. Up to my neck in DIY and recording for a new band too which is taking up lots (of exciting) time. Kilo is sounding great. It has a natural fullness and lots of girth in the low end. Oh and mine likes to drive hard past the clip light .. I stop it just short of breaking up as the valves start to compress a bit! That's even before I use any of the other functions!

I'd say that on the gigging front it has been really pants for me! Lots of 'online band' projects and session stuff, but no where near as much gigging as I would have liked. Though I have to balance that with the rest of my music career that has been incredibly busy and exciting. The opportunities that have presented themselves in the last year have been amazing and I'm feeling energised.. And knackered! Lol. so I guess looking at it that way, I'm not down in the mouth about it too much; ive been working hard elsewhere. I certainly hope to be on the road again in the new year.

Hey Andy, I see you'll have one soon though right? Yay!

[quote name='vmaxblues' timestamp='1320514579' post='1427859']In my humble opinion no, I went last year and was disappointed, and there was continual slapurbation going on from almost every stand, I won't bother again.[/quote] Have to say I found it very difficult to demonstrate on the Shuker stand as I wanted to show people some more melodic and tonal sides of the instruments, but no one could hear it under the sound akin to that of people building sheds with drum kits.

I'll be there!

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1320363560' post='1426052']Ah Dood, its a shame you are not going. You were the only one from Basschat that I recognized at last years Manchester bass day. I would have come up and said 'Hi' this year. [/quote] Ahhhhh Daz! Sorry fella! I have to admit, the one thing I do enjoy about bass shows is meeting my fellow BCers! I'll be a bit sad not to be doing that this year.

Darren, honestly saddened to read this news. Bass Merchant has been heralded by the UK Bass playing community as one of the best, indeed elite of shops for basses, gear and excellent customer service. I'd like to wish you and Chris all the best for the future and hope that we stay in touch. Thank you for your support and giving the Bass community what it really needed!

This is absolutely FANTASTIC news! I'm very pleased to hear it!! Dirty thieving scumbags! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[quote name='Chlo_treacher' timestamp='1320325138' post='1425301'] Im going to be hanging around the ibass stand helping nick wells out with that if you guys who are going want to come and say hi! bit excited, plus im being featured in the first issue! hurraaaay xx [/quote] Hey Chloe! - Facebook has kept on suggesting you as a friend, but for the life of me couldn't remember why the name looked familiar!! Now I know!! - I'm probably not heading up to the show, but I'll give Nick a buzz at some point throughout to see how things are going. Send him my best wishes!
