Bas I have a PJB bass cub which is small, light, comes with a should carry bag and has 2 inputs which will do your bass and vocals (it has an XLR mic input) or something else into it. how about a PJB ear box? http://www.pjbworld.com/product_earbox.html

@Marc S if you fancy a jazz with a roadworn look, come over to the Sandberg family, you won’t regret it! i love their ageing process, fantastic made and sounding basses and good prices in the second hand market

Love you to Bas World peace is now achieved, big rocket man over here can rest from the threat of Bazza Trumpet. IMHO the key to there being so many controls on the dirt side, is because of the inherent nature of distortion to potentially suck a load of mids and low end out of your signal, hence you need to ability to tweak these variables for a successful sound, so yes there are more dials, but that is necessary for the type of effect, just like envelope has filter, Q, wave form type etc and compression has ratio, input, ouput, attack release etc. now I know you are not a DG fan, but having all these dials is why their B7K and ultra pedals work really well clean without any distortion because of their EQ capabilities, yes you can argue it’s a waste, as that is what you get it for, but that level of grit is only 1 dial (+/-gain), that’s where my logic comes from

Bas, by missing the point you have actually made the point (even though you overuse the word gorgeous). YOU get the sound YOU want with Nordy’s, Mesa (even tho you want to change maybe....) and the B channel kicked in or not. I get the sound I want (which is one you heard and liked, which first turned you on to the 2 Notes) from mainly the A channel on the Two Notes in combination with other things which include non of your stuff (not that your stuff is bad). I can use the B channel where I wish alone or in Fusion. Neither of us are wrong it is how we use the equipment. are you gonna tell Tim Commerford he is wrong to use a Stingray for his sound, nordstrands are better pups? Or Flea that his Qtron settings are wrong? tell Duff McKagen he was using the wrong chorus pedal in combination with his PJ signature bass? is it a waste to not use the FX loop of your amp, it’s there, you must use it surely?!!!!!! you get my drift, if you get the sound you want from your combination, that’s all good buddy, and it’s not a waste of a pedal it’s using the pedal. Nowt you say will make much difference on this to me having explored the pedal at great length with an amount of combinations of other pedals and basses for a little bit longer than you have...!

@Quatschmacher not opposed to that, one of many options of which noise cancelling can help, but good call

@MGBrown now you’ve said it he may believe it, apparently I am a dotard

@MGBrown finally a voice of reason Oh and @Al Krow that ‘whacky blender’ is an ingenious double Fx loop pedal to blend with you clean tone, which I am sure if you read back your 85 gozillion posts and thread starts seems to be a pre requisite for you to keep alongside an effect. is this not mandatory to use alongside your stuff in your version of the 12 pedals of Christmas.....

Ah but Bas, the key is despite the band not gigging currently, the advice I give is about a blended sound with other instruments and it’s capabilities, how I have found I used it, and no ultimatums unlike agent 004.5. I havent given advice on a live sound and what to achieve in a London pub and how to EQ a room with carpet, wallpaper and a bar full of people effectively, how to get gigs etc. You will however say that every new pedal you hear is the best new pedal, except for Darkglass which we know you don’t like, despite not trying anything Darkglass....... when we look back at this sparring session it all started by me saying I mainly use the A channel on a very good pedal, not that I exclusively use the A channel and that’s it, before you waded in all guns blaring! Remind BC land again who’s information when asked for has consistently been correct and pretty relevant to what you want? Do I hear the names Osiris and Cuz*** wafting in the wind somewhere....?!

Bas’s straw poll has about as much sense as the straw in the scarecrow in the wizard of Oz, and maybe the grand wizard may grant him an effects and logic brain......especially with his consistently bonkers 80% rule. Does one not actually need to have owned a multiFX unit to abandon one, and surely by buying at leat 2 copies of every effect on your FX unit before actually using those effects, are you not the one who has abandoned. Actually Bas the Ampeg SCR is not a bad circuit, and as well as a DI box, it works and it works as a headphone amp too. The key on this is what YOU want to hear from a pedal and what works for you be it 20p or £20k Bas, as someone who asked my advice on the Two Notes, power supplies and has just discovered effects pedals, and is unable to drill a tiny hole in a cheap sheet of metal lest the cosmetic effect of a hole hidden by a strip of velcro should ruin it, are you best placed to speak about? Talking of decent amp heads how is agent zig zag going on that......

ISP decimator II

So then @Al Krow last time I looked there were 2 channels on the Two Notes, A and B both tweakable, but different EQ points. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t that mean that the Two Notes is the sum of BOTH of its 2 channels, that is the point of the pedal and the user dictates how and in what way. Please note I said mainly..... Enlighten me then, if the Two Notes IS the B channel do you only use the B channel on the pedal and nothing else? If this is the case are you not missing the point.....? Maybe you are right, maybe it’s like having a multi fx unit and not using or not trying to use all the effects and tweaking them to taste instead of using it as a large paperweight on your pedal board........

@bassmayhem like you I got it at a ridiculous price second hand love it, just love it and mainly run the A channel alone

Cam this looks the biz, prob too complex for me bro, but if you get this together we will rule the fx loop galaxy

You’ll be surprised, you can dial the octave in to your choice to give it presence in the mix. really loving it with my chorus, and can see how an envelope would be cool too mixed with drive

PJB DI and headphone out are phenomenal for listening and recording

Phil Jones Bass Cub 100w, nice sounding, 2 inputs with separate EQs, one will actually take a vocal microphone. never put a guitar through, but should work, I have put 2 basses through it at the same time

Defo if they have any sense!!!

You will have a ball with it, and the Demon stuff, real quality

Only the TX600 the LH1000 is amazing

Question is Bas Overdrive? Distortion? Fuzz? Combination? Similar but different

Hartke - severely underpowered and underwhelming is the majority verdict. i like Peavey, but I have been hearing rumblings of late if not the same bombproof build quality and sound Mag 350 will be brilliant

For a while mine was the only one in the U.K., now it’s just the first.....! well done mate, it’s great.ook at Demon Pedals too!

I love the fact you can get away with phrases like ‘this tone in my head’ on here, in the real world people would call you nuts!

Inadvertently I think I have found a tone very similar with an array of pedals which is not that complex and far more expensive than just buying a dUg amp, but it’s a bit more versatile! still this may well tempt me
