And vice versa if you find yourself in Manchester and want to hear your basses through an 800w all tube rig

It's a tempting offer, but you'll understand if I decline [/quote] No I don't understand, you have insulted me and my family. Noticed your in Southport, my band was on Dune FM the other weekend for a 2 hour show, nice place.

[quote name='jwbassman' post='637290' date='Oct 26 2009, 08:18 PM']Why do you find the 36" better?[/quote] I tune ADGCF I have a trans black Evo and it does not look this nice so you made a good choice, but you know if you want to swap

That is super nice, any pics of your other Overwater? I own a Progress and an Evolution, hoping to get another Evolution soon, but think I'd prefer another 36inch scale over the 35.

[quote name='Finbar' post='633574' date='Oct 22 2009, 04:56 PM']Just updated my firmware last night and gave it a bash - I like the little things they've added in, like the heel/toe pixels and the relative pots, but they weren't essential. However, I'm left slightly unimpressed by the octaver Got some good drive sounds out of it to my surprise! 3 or 4 of them really work well I think with a bit of tweaking. Still nothing I prefer to my stomps though. The filters and delays etc are very nice and am happy to replace my pedals with them. I'm also very impressed with having a separate noise gate for each scene, and a really good noise gate at that! One of the biggest surprises about the unit for me Go and look in the stickied pedalboards thread - tayste's one is in there and on a pedaltrain jnr or mini (I forget which one!) No, you need a dedicated power supply AFAIK. Pain in the arse, still trying to find a way round it! You are correct. Connect a regular patch lead between the expression pedal input on the M9, and the output jack of the EB pedal.[/quote] My M9 is on a PT Mini, if you put it on a Jr you'd get it and eb vol pedal and 3 other fx on there, it is shockingly small pretty much the size of a xx4 series pedal. What didn't you like about the octaver? Bare in mind there are 6 octaver/pitch shifting options (ish) in this pedal, personally I love them all. I was playing to my band today and added a 5th up to what i was playing, sounded great. I really love the M9 even more than the M13

[quote name='deej' post='635797' date='Oct 25 2009, 12:29 AM']Just a quick question about a tremolo on there. Can an expression pedal be used to control the depth? And when the pedal is back at the heel position, would this just give you your normal clean bass tone or would it still be a weak tremolo?[/quote] The expression pedal can control any parameter of any fx and can control more than one at a time, so say in heel position you have reduced the depth (bare in mind you set the max and min so it could be 20% and 80% not just all or nothing), but say you found this a bit thin sounding you could also have it reduce the mix to put more of your original signal in to thicken it up.

That sealed 4x10 is Ash's

[quote name='metaltime' post='633363' date='Oct 22 2009, 12:45 PM']Really? That is a bold statement I will need to check this pedal out.[/quote] I didn't say ever I just said that I've tried be that a short list who knows

[quote name='rasher80' post='633366' date='Oct 22 2009, 12:49 PM']You can't whack OBBM cables with a big stick! I love em[/quote] Every other cable I use is an OBBM other than these 2

So I recently aquired an Alembic F-1X preamp, having decided that I should run my rig differently. So going from Mesa Boogie 400+ into 4x10 (Slaved into) Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 into 8x10 Prior to running this I'd just run the 400+ at 2.67 ohms, which is fine but decided this would be better, then the next problem is 400+ provides 4x10 with near 400w and 8x10 is being provided 200w per side so 400w in total. So I've gone to Alembic F-1X Into Strategy 1 into 8x10 (Strategy Left into Bottom of 8x10, Strategy Right into Top of 8x10) Strategy 2 into 4x10 (Strategy Left into 4x10, Strategy Right - OFF) It sounds amazing, so I had the drummer with me and was showing off, going listen to a 3rd of my rig (1 half of the strategy with 1 4x10) then I started doing this with the 8x10 and all of a sudden the bottom 4x10 with 200w of power was louder, fuller and generally amazing sounding compared to the 8x10 with 400w. So I tried the other half, top of 8x10 and other side of Strategy and low and behold same sound, again bigger than the 8x10. Put them both on, loud, quite full, little bit distorted. Suddenly went, OMFG the cab is wired out of phase with it's self, can't believe I've been using this for a year and it's been wired out of phase, then it dawned, there was nothing wrong with the cab but I was sending 2 cables to the 8x10, 2 NONE OBBM 20ft cables I had bought on BC cheap to save money, took them apart and sure as hell one of the speakons was wired up differently. Now many may say, how could you have not heard this, well I've used cabs out of phase before and it is clearly noticeable, massive loss in volume and aweful sound. The 8x10 is still loud and I've eq'd it thinking this is how it sounded. Also note that since I only recently aquired a preamp the only way I've been able to run the Strategy is with the 400+ which needs a load so the 4x10 has been on and again this is so loud and full it's difficult to tell if one half of a cab isn't working right. Also only been using the rig with 400+ and Strategy for a month or 2 and by having a 4x10 nand rack on side of stage and 8x10 on the other the sound was always loud and full anyway. So here is the moral, make sure you check what you buy, or buy from OBBM and get it right first time. Can't freakin believe it.

If TB is to be believed it should have sorted out your finances, bought you a bigger house and serviced you sexually by now.[/quote] It is actually that good if not better best overdrive and amp simulator I've ever used, not that I've ever had many pedals or anything you know.

Baby rig Big rig in progress Still looking for a 25K EB, getting a Patchbay made and then decide whether I go George L or something a bit more robust and heavy duty.

I need to give one of these companies a call as I need 2 matched sets of 12 for my current rig as I think it will be with me for a very very long time

[quote name='stu_g' post='632048' date='Oct 21 2009, 06:37 AM']hi i think its a bulgin type socket i used to have the same thing on an old selmer amp[/quote] Yeah for sure. Get it replaced or you'll end up getting a nasty shock one day, won't cost much for a decent tech to do.

Just buy my 400+

Mine arrived today
