Personally I'm very happy with mine can't say I've experimented with many others though, editing via the computer is the only way I could see being practical and once you've picked your sounds you can pretty well live it alone so I wouldn't see it as a negative. The EHX is a very good piece of kit but I would say nowhere near as flexible with different sounds when compared to the SS. I'd check out the G5 and the Octavius Squeezer too.

There are some traditional vague rules but I'd just try them all in different places and see what works for you.

If I've got what you're after right I would probably suggest going with either a Xerograph or Moog MF-101 with an expression pedal to cover what you want. Having a CV controlled LFO to cover the specific timing of it or triggering it will get a lot more expensive very fast, though it is still feasible using something like the Moog MP-201.

There's a schematic for what you want here http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/Looper-Switcher/index.htm There's plenty of members who would happily make you one here if you're confident doing so. Can imagine waiting for the Wobo unit might take a fair while.

I'm a fan of the TC Hall Of Fame personally, one of the most flexible but small reverb pedals out there. Sounds great too!

[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1346362321' post='1788469'] Damn yeah full, time to sell me the MP201 [/quote] It's taken me long enough to find this one, it's actually faulty but a fairly cheap fix (you don't want to know how much it cost me!)

Yep there is indeed a Geiger Counter on there and the pink one is a Triumvirate (triple band distortion) which can go very fuzzy depending on how it's set. I expect a Mastotron will be filling that gap some time too having borrowed a friends.

So I appear to have run out of space...

Anyone know what nuts fit Schaller strap locks? I've lost the nut on one of my sets and after a replacement. M10 from what I can tell but not sure on further than that. Just had a look and they're M10x0.75 and available here pretty cheaply if anyone else is after them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PIHEA-POTENTIOMETER-NUT-M10x0-75-ROHS-NEW-/190646660439?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item2c636d2d57

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1345731687' post='1781014'] Probably a POS but £49.99 BIN: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rickenbacker-style-Bass-Guitar-Vintage-with-case-bag-/160870572766?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2574a222de"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2574a222de[/url] [/quote] Gone already!

Thanks for the information, looks like I should try a repairer/maker to see if I can get some idea. Out of interest what would make the instrument pre-1840 because of this? From looking at it I wouldn't say it was a neck graft though there's no evidence of any near head repairs, I'm basing the possible repair on the dark substance on the heel looks like a minor repair if anything. I do think with fairly minimal work it would be a perfectly playable instrument.

The bow

I was recently given this by a relative and know virtually nothing about violins, based on a quick bit of research I think it is very unlikely that it is actually what it says on the internal label but it does appear to have some age to it. As you can see in the photos it in unstrung and has no bridge and a tuning peg missing as well as the bow needing a rehair. It also appears to have some kind of neck heel repair? Have attempted to take as good photos of the label as I could get. Anyone know if it would be worth restoring? It has no sentimental value or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated or if anyone knows better places/people to ask then let me know. Thanks!

Odd mine came with a right angled jack and all the photos I've seen have those.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1345129593' post='1774002'] @Russ Yeah the Rocktron Cyborg Reverb really doesnt like sharing power supplies and it's really sensitive to active basses. Great sound though and I love that you can make it reverberate literally forever! Great pedal. Wish I'd not sold mine now Anyway back on topic, does anyone know of any expression pedals with a right-angled jack? I'm really happy with my rig except that I need to put my SYB-5 at an angle because the M-Audio Expression pedal comes with a straight jack. Annoying! Truckstop [/quote] That's what Diago Isolator or Gigrig Virtual Batteries are for! Just realised that's actually your old unit he's using! Off the top of my head either the Roland EV-5 or EV-7 come wth a right angled jack. Though I tend to reterminate them anyway as they always come with rediculously long cables for use on a board.

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1321258675' post='1436926'] Mornin' all. I you have nice pick up rings like this - Great. I have been asked several times for a place to get new rings - just had another BCer ask me yesterday. I had a spare one, myself and had to use it a couple of years ago and the only place I could find replacement ones, was in the USA. A pair of these, including the postage, would come to around £25.00. I have, in the past, thought about getting some made up, so. . . . . while I am at it, does anyone need any new pick-up rings for their T-40. I'll see what response I get and then based on the numbers I will put up a firm cost. These will be a top job and not a Hacksaw and File operation. I look forward to the flood of replies!!! Cheers. [/quote] Know it's been ages but is there any chance the offer is still open? Would be nice to swap out the pair in mine and would be interested to know if it works out better value than fretsonthenet.

Not got the best speakers either here but sounds like some sort of distorted sawtooth synth pad. So you can probably get pretty close with a synthy fuzz, octaver would be nice or if you're happy to spend the money an Octavius Squeezer would get the sound from a single pedal.

Also look out for the Johnnyshredfreak PSUs second hand, No longer available as I presume Diago stopped him but they were clearly out of the same factory and about a third of the price.

They actually finally listened! If they make a smaller Hyperdrive I may have to pick one up.
