I reckon it's handy to have an amp sim / DI option so you can go DI into the FOH desk and get an 'amp' sound if the gig setup calls for that. eg Sansamp BDDI ( I have one ) or whatever your preference - DHA / Alembic / whatever - but the point being to have an 'amp' sound rather than an overt overdrive / distortion ( though they are , of course , strictly speaking distortion effects ) and should provide a low impedance balanced ( interference and ground loop defeating ) output if you're sending it to the desk.

He bought my JOYO flanger. Quick with no problems. Cheers.

Did you get to the bottom of this ?

[quote name='JohnFitzgerald' timestamp='1328438492' post='1526797'] Cheers Mike I had kinda arrived at that concluion myself. The 1212M, having an ADAT connection seems like a good call. The fact that it's pretty low cost kinda helps too. If there's a little extra cash, I might actually bin it all and get a Zoom R16. 16 track, but able to record on 8 at a time via combo xlr / jack inputs. Also works as an audio interface to the PC via USB 2.0 and again gives 8 discreet ins to the laptop. That would cost £275, so not a fortune. Thanks again. JF [/quote] But I think you can only send a couple of tracks down the USB 2.0 to the PC at a time ? Easy enough to line them up just more time consuming and 'fiddly' Or am I getting that wrong ? from SOS review: Enter The PC The reason I don’t feel too inclined to dwell on the R16’s shortcomings as a mixer is that it is so clearly designed to be integrated with a computer recording system. Once you’ve installed its ASIO driver, you can hook up a USB cable from R16 to PC (assuming you have a USB2 port on your computer, which almost everyone does nowadays). The R16 will happily take its power from the USB connection where it’s available, and when it detects such a connection, gives you the option of starting up in Card Reader or Interface modes. Assuming you actually want to work on material recorded to the R16, you’ll need to use the Card Reader mode first, so that you can transfer the necessary files over to your computer’s hard drive. For some reason, all R16 projects appear to the computer as ‘PROJ001’ and so on, regardless of any name you’ve given them within the R16, but confusion is unlikely unless you’ve got lots of them on a single card. You can’t import Projects themselves into a DAW, but it’s easy enough to line up the audio files — helpfully, even takes that were started halfway through a Project are automatically extended to the Project start.

Don't know if this helps but a few years ago the thread stripped on one of the screw / claws on my Hohner B2A Steinberger Licensed Bridge leaving me a bit stuck. Eventually got one from the Bass Centre workshop for £10. Guess that not an option now but maybe a call to Bass Gallery or similar ?

I have the 'standard' BDDI and ime it's the 'Presence' control which can really dictate the hiss level If Drive and Level are adjusted to keep output level constant (ish) ie higher Drive = lower Level.

[quote name='joegarcia' timestamp='1186560998' post='42750'] I use a Rocktek Bass Eq now in my distortion channel to add low end and it works fine. Think it was only about £20 quid used too. [/quote] +1 The Rocktek Bass EQ ( 6 bands 80Hz to 2.6kHz + Level Control ) works well. Can't quote noise figures etc and prob not as well screened as a metal cased pedal. But cheap if you can pick one up used here / ebay / gumtree etc.

Hi. Anyone have / tried the Joyo JF-07 'Classic' Flanger ? I've got one on the way used ( but nearly new ) from ebay. Cheers
