Yeah, thats the patch. Very simple but needs a B7K by the looks of it. I only really need it for one song, hence i cant justify buying the B7K. the obvious answer is to use the B3n but it wont fit on my board, and having it separate defeats the idea of having it all in one place.

I have plenty of ways to get it back if its too noticeable. I am hoping that when i use the UD it will be a bit thinner than my clean tone anyway. I find the MojoMojo to retain the low end fine, but ive been backing the Low end off a bit when its engaged to keep things clearer. If the UD is a bit thinner thats fine. I’m trying my best 🙂 Ive seen plenty of YT clips with tones i like, but none that i would expect to get with my set up. Before, i was looking for my clean tone, only dirtier if that makes sense. This was achieved to an extent with the AS, and definitely with the Mojomojo, but now i want a OD tone, one that isn’t just my tone with more drive. I’d also love to get the B3n’s 042 patch, but this includes the DG B7K effect, and I’m not buying one of those.

Off on holiday next week, a week on a beach, so ive just ordered my first book in a few years (the last was Guy Pratt’s book). Perfect for the beach by the sound of it. Cant wait. Will get the second book for a caravan holiday later in the year.

I do still have it, i doubt ill ever get rid of it, and yes, ive played around a lot with the settings (using my phone). I tend to use it with ther blend quite high, and it do like what i hear. I have no doubt it can get the tone in my head, but I’m just experimenting with other pedals at the moment. Ive tried the DG stuff and never really got on with it, love the BDDI and that the one pedal ive now brought 3 times, but I want to see what else is out there, in the budget end of the market. I tend to keep finding the previous tone ive been looking for in my OD’s, rather the tone I’m currently looking for. At least with these cheap pedals its not going to cost much to make a mistake.

Actually ive just ordered a Joyo UD, as although the MM is nice, its a bit dark and tame for what i was looking for (at the moment). Ill keep it for now as i only gave it one shot, and that was through a rig totally different to mine. I expect it will get used again as it is a great sounding always on pedal. I might even replace my BDDI as an experiment. I dont know what ill be buying next week to replace the UD with lol.

Im sure you know about the Cioks DC-5. Not cheap but one of the best IMO. Fits perfectly. As far as lights coming on so its ok, definitely not my experience with my Source Audio After Shock. It kept crashing all of a sudden, and i was about send it back when it was pointed out to me that i was under powering it. I had moved the power source to a lower powered output without realising it. These digital things are a bit temperamental.

Yeah, my old guitarist used to play a Fender Strat and he always used to say how unstable it can be when he used the trem. He never got around to replacing it with soemthnig better though. This is only for home playing so maybe ill just get used to it. Unfortunately its going back, as the volume pot is acting up. Its been cutting out and now its got to the point where i need to pull up on it to get a sound. At th emoment ther eis a pice of thick card under the knob. I know these things are cheap to fix, and ive got the skill to do it, but at less than 2 weeks old ill get the whole guitar replaced.

🙂 ive never had an issue with not using one, but i also like what i hear when i do. Im pretty sure a lot of others feel this way, but are too 'cool' so say it lol.

Get away with what? It made me laugh but im guessing thats not it.

Pretty much my pattern as well. It normally comes about by me reading a line in a post on here and have a 'wow' moment, so i go and get one. These days i use a Sectracomp, and i have actually gone back to it from a higher end comp, but i think i use it because its on my board so its no effort to take with me. Not sure if i need it but it doesn't seem to do any harm.

And it would be quite easy for someone to ruin a venues reputation without real cause.

i got a Mojomojo a few days ago. Spur of the moment thing really. For £40 i love this thing. Its certainly outed my Aftershock. I was looking for a more dense OD, as i found a lovely patch in my B3n but would like to get close to that using my pedals. Problem is that patch is using a B7K, and i dont want one of those. The MM doesn't even get close, but what i love about it is it works so well as an always on, with a bit 'more' to it. I think this is the pedal ive been looking for for ages, although not the one im looking for at the moment. Still, its outed my AS, my Pork Loin and my Joyo OJ.....for now.

God yes. It all gets very dark and serious when that starts. A silly story but we used top play a large club in Slough. During the high stakes Bingo on a Sunday night they banned any talking, phones off etc. Our guitarist, being a forgetful chap, didnt turn his off. Off he goes across the room to the bar. Whispers to the bar man for 3 pints, and starts to walk back with them. Now, im not sure why i did this, but i decided as he was crossing the dance floor to call his mobile. It might have been because i knew he had the Dambusters theme tune as his ring tone, and maybe because there was no way to put the drinks down, but it was the funniest moment we ever had at that venue.....expect for him of course 🙂

Social clubs. Although we can get them, and they pay well, we have decided to try and do some pub gigs. The money might be rubbish but the atmosphere cant be any worse than a half (or less) empty Social club on a Sat night.

Just wanted to report back and say im over the moon with this guitar. I dont know why but its so much easier to play than my sons HB Strat. Niggles would be i wish it has a gloss neck, but that's a minor thing and i have had basses with the same finish and they were fine No fret buzz that i can hear, frets feel like they are all seated and not sticking out etc. Neck seem straight and very comfortable. I will (maybe) change the bridge later on, or block it. I have no need for the tremolo arm, so would prefer rock steady tuning over that. Its slipping a bit here and there, but nothing major. Very pleased with the outcome. I just need to learn how to play it now.

The only time ive needed the DI out was for this recording session, and i did ask the engineer to take the feed from my Q/strip anyway, so im loath to spend anything on the amp. I have two DI's on my pedal board, and another map im more than happy to use instead, so i may just not bother getting it fixed. the map has never cut out as such, its just taken a long time to work in the past, but those were isolated incidents that may or may not have been down to the venue. Im sure it wont be expensive, but even the cost of sending it might be more than i want to pay. I just think that if its an internal issue, then i should expect it to be fixed for nothing, as its not happened due to miss use or damage.

No problem. As it turns out it was good move, as ive found 3 patches in my Zoom B3n that will bring everything to life. Even just recording them in Garage Band on my Ipad Pro has made a big difference. This is what happens when your drummer hasn't a clue. Im having to go back and play less strictly to cover up his timing issues. All sorted, thanks anyway.

Cheers Guys. GK's importers over here have said send it them and they will have a look at it free of charge, and then give me a quote for fixing it. The place (very well known on here, but not a specialist bass shop) i got it from sent me this when i mentioned the 6 year law, and that i believe its a manufacturing fault. " That is if it turns out, i.e can be proven to be a manufacturing defect which is impossible to do given that the XLR has only been checked 2 years after purchase. The retailer and the supplier have responsibilities to the customer to supply functioning goods but the customer is also responsible for checking all the functions of the device upon receipt and reporting any issues within 30 days. Anything outside of this period falls under the warranty which in this case is 1 year so even the warranty expired over a year ago "

I asked for a copy of the demo without bass so i can work out new bass lines BEFORE going back in to the studio and re doing it.

Cheers Guys. Jens has sorted me out and im very grateful to him. Thanks for the other offers. BigRedX. Did you read the first post? That explains why i asked. .

You would think that, and i did as well, but it’s a bit more long winded than that.

Well yes and no. I have the prue wave files and the Logic arrangement files, but i cant open the latter. All i can do is try and figure out what Wav files are what, and create a new song mix in soemthing else. I tried but its a lot of guess work as the wav files are all mixed up, and not all complete tracks so its difficult knowing where to place them. Yes, all I’m after is to get the mixes, as they stand, but with no bass on them. I dont have a Mac so i cant open them in anything. Thanks for the offer, ill PM you now and send you a link to the folder in Dropbox if that’s ok. No hurry and if you cant at least you tired. As i now have these files on a PC I’m not sure if that messes with file extensions etc.

Yeah, I appreciate £300 isnt going to get me a perfect payer, but it should at least beat the Harley Benton we have (which i find ok anyway).

Ive had the amp for a couple of years, and had a bit of trouble with it not producing any noise for the first 10-15 mins of powering it up. Pretty sure ive posted about that before so im not going to ask about that. We went in to the studio last week and for the first time i used the XLR out, or at least wanted to. With the pre EQ button engaged i got no signal at all out of it, with it set to post there was a very quiet distorted tone. ive tried different leads and used the same lead fo rmy Markbass amp and the leads are fine. The speaker outputs work fine, so its just the DI. Having spoken to Guitar Guitar (who i got it form) they have suggested talking to GK directly, as ill have to pay for the repair (i think not). Ive not opened it up yet, might do that tonight, but im wondering if its worth it or i just need to get GK to sort it. it could be just a lose wire, but knowing my luck it wont be as simple as that. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
