Because it’s the best sounding low gain overdrive/dirty boost I’ve ever come across.
-
Third time lucky with the JF Capo. 2nd Cream Pie I got across the weekend.
-
Recently received and been wanting to try it for a while. I think if I didn’t have a JHS Punchline and wasn’t in the process of getting a 2nd I’d love this and keep this. Anyway, like new, boxed, bag, manual, mint condition. -
Bought a Valeton Mini Bass Dapper off me, easy transaction, no issues. Thanks Sean
-
To clarify it went back to Sine Effects to have the broken pot replaced. I probably would have made more money selling it as for parts but it’s nice to fix things up in this world. -
Mint condition, boxed with manual. Great sounding full range boost, definitely a clean boost but not wholly flat, definitely got something going on. Also works as a nice buffer, I’ve seen some instagram posts of Sean Hurley using one, which is what attracted me to it in the first place. Sounds really great pushing other pedals. Open to trades and looking for a Tone Factor/Mojo Hand Cream Pie (plus cash from me) -
So full disclosure I bought it as part of this set and essentially think of it as costing me nothing, however it has cost me. I spent £45 on the repair, £6 on shipping and £4.50 on return shipping. I just want back what it owes me, else it’s probably better sitting in a drawer just in case. This is about as small as you’re going to get a pedal, let along a parametric eq. It sounds great and fits in the smallest space on a board. I’ve used it on one gig as a boost and it performed great, though you do get a bit wary of having so many small pedals bunched together. Ultimately I now have 2 of my favourite boosts, a clone of it and a 1590a clone coming to take the place of this on the board. No offers but I am open to trades.

Gonna throw out an alternative here. Use a light overdrive with a slight volume dip for the main sound and then turn it off for the parts you’re thinking would suit the distortion. The jump in volume and fullness of signal might cut quite nicely 🤷🏻♂️ Might be what you need is a phat clean in those moments and you can get away with quite a lot of saturation the rest of the time smoothing out that sound.

My work around is to have 4 compact boards

XPND 😉

Nudge that tuner up to the top of the board and it can all squish up a bit more and you might be able to avoid the overhang that I know is bothering you.

Sure you can 😇

Can relate to you massively on this. I found my solution to be an IR loader (obviously still need the distortion pedal and really you do still want the blend on it), or at least for picking my sound for live use. So I recently got a Darkglass Element and it’s been an absolute revelation. I spent a while finding an IR and eq that gave me the sound I try and get out of preamp (which is just me rolling quite a lot of highs) and I’ve ended up with 2-3 settings where the “clean” sounds pretty much the same across all of them but any distortion is wildly different depending on how much high the cab is allow. So this would be my first recommendation, I think the Element is incredible, I now own two and it’s my di, IEM mixer, IR loader, eq, practice headphone rig, etc etc, so using something like that to dial in the sound at home through headphones. Then I would look at something like the Kasleder Albatross, Lusithand Ground and Pound or Backburner Big Booty Judy https://kaslederfx.com/albatross/ https://bassbros.co.uk/product/lusithand-alma-comp-mkii/ - Though you may want the newer model https://backburnernoise.com/products/big-booty-judy The latter two are both rat clones, which I’ve really started to appreciate in the mix with my JHS Punchline, but it has to have the clean blend and it has to run into some sort of cab simulation for me to dial it in.

Well my 2nd punchline purchase fell through so I’m thinking of keeping this now, but I did already send it off to @Sibob to have a play with. Will spend more time this week with the mk1 and see how I’m feeling.

Would something like https://audiob.us potentially work with having the routing through that and ending up in the Camera/Video app? Obviously you’d have to check to see if that app is available as an output, but if it is another app in the chain could solve the issue. Even as an absolute Darkglass hater, I could gush about how great the Element is for hours and hours. I haven’t tried it as an audio interface though yet but I’m excited for it’s ability to record a bass with and without ir at the same time along with bluetooth audio so I don’t have to rip tracks from the net for playalongs. Final option, use something other than the default camera/video app, I don’t have any suggestions past that but I imagine there are some available for your use case.
