+1^^ can't argue with that! You almost persuaded me to get a replacement one! Fortunately I don't have any space left on my board 😁 @Bass-Face yup that is the normal sized FI. Mr Gisser gets them into even more compact housing (e.g. in case you need to fit on an LS2 😊)

I actually quite like that finish. I'm sure the audience will hear the difference 😁

I do love a growl on my basses! Be interested to know whether you've ever compared a Ric growl to a Warwick MEC growl or an Ibby Nordstrand Big Single growl?

Check these vids out and it will give you a pretty good idea whether an LS-2 will add something for you: Using for parallel loops: Probably best to start with everything simple and in series and then once you're familiar with your pedals and how they blend together you can then have a think about going parallel with an LS2. And there will always be plenty of buyers for your LS2, if you get one and decide it's not for you. My suggestion was "in brackets" as just something to think about. I'm managing fine with parallel looping on my Boss SY1 and don't have an LS2 myself.

Great - thanks so much @agedhorse for jumping in. Am I correct that the ability to footswitch voicing is unique to the M6 as the M3 doesn't have separate voicing and the M9 from what I can see from the rear doesn't have separate voicing footswitch options, but just a single footswitch port which controls the EQ but not the voicing? M9:

A mere handful compared to some on the post your pedal boards thread! Which btw is worth checking out, there are several on there that are amazingly well put together. Thanks, me too! 😎

Yeah soz 😁. Welcome to the rabbit hole world of pedals. I scaled up my Classic Jr to a PT2 and it's surprising how much you can fit on that, especially if you put a couple of items underboard (in my case the MXR IsoBrick PSU and Source Audio Neurohub). Here's a recent iteration prior to the sudden sad demise of my Tech 21 Red Ripper which seems to have given up the good fight and I need to see if I can find a decent (and not to expensive) local Tech to repair. I've avoided the need for an LS2 as the Boss SY1 has parallel loop capability and I've made use of that to put three pedals in its loop:

My Tech 21 Red Ripper, which I bought a couple of months back in the FS, has just "died". Working fine in clean by-pass but very little volume when engaged. Any recommendations for a capable but decent value repair shop in Central / East London?

My guess would be either PT Metro 24 or PT Classic Jr. Powered by a OneSpot CS6. Job done

Yup that's the one. There's one in the FS now, I think - they typically go for £45 to £55 depending on age / condition used. Nope I wouldn't put the Cali in a side chain, but either at the start or the end impacting the whole signal chain.

My vote would be: 1. Ditto 2. Cali76 (comp at the start of the chain to tigthten things up for the rest of the pedals) - IMO the Cali is not particularly designed to work as a limiter as its top end compression ratios are fairly limited compared to say a Becos or Keeley Bassist, and it lacks a 'threshold' knob if I remember correctly. 3. FI (give this the cleanest signal to act on) [3A. Buy an LS2 and put some or all of the remaining three in a parallel loop to give you an alternate synth, and allow the Octave to also bite on a clean signal to minimise glitching] 4. Octave 5. Doom 6. MF Also recommend you get a decent power supply with isolated outputs. There you go 3 different bass players and 3 different suggestions - how many bassists does it take to work out an optimal pedal board layout?

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Doom and this new Doom 2 a bit anaemic? Definitely prefer the Mastotron or even better the Red Ripper to this, and the Mastotron is half the price. But at the end of the day it's you're / your choice 😉 @PJ-Bassist why the angst with drive pedals?

Apologies - wrong thread!

Probably worth checking this thread for some suggestions also - as the OP asked a very similar question a few days back: @ped worth moving this thread to the Bass Guitars section as it sits better there than under 'Reviews' and / or merging the two threads?

@bassfan So here's my question: I'm guessing that on any gig you'll have a favourite voice (e.g. voice 3 or 4) which is going to be your default, but you might want a different voice for slap (e.g. voice 1 or 2) If that's the case, I think what is needed is a single lead to a footswitch to switch the alternative voice on / off and when it's off you go back to your default voice.

Here's a pic to illustrate: @agedhorse not sure whether you might be able to jump in with any suggestions re bassfan's query?

Wot no compressor? In 40 years? And no one's noticed (and you still love playing bass)? 😂 Glad I'm not the only numpty who's on his third iteration of the same pedal! 😊 If you ever recover and get clean, that surely means that my future is bleak: full of bland sounds and Delano pups

Are you doing your patch creation on the pedal itself Dave? Dunno if you have downloaded HX Edit software and connected your Stomp up to your PC? Defo makes editing and saving patches a whole lot easier!

Pics and first impressions asap please! 😎

So the BDDI was surely a "two off" then?

28th dibs for me please - likely to be after Dave has sold and bought it back 27 times 😁

Just bought a pedal off Tobie. Very smooth transaction - good comms and pedal was packaged well and in the condition described. All good!
