This week's My new noise/jamming setup Band board unchanged but here it is any way

Wish I'd never sold it myself but I did manage after trade aftre trade to get a Mesa Boogie 400+ for it. That was the second Valenti to come in to the UK and for a long time I had the only 3 in the country

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='94516' date='Nov 26 2007, 01:21 PM']why and what benefit do the mods bring?[/quote] Just gives it better low end response it is reviewed on Bongo's compressor review page as he did the mods to mine but Tone Factor can now offer these as well. I've owned an EBS Multi Comp, Rane DC24, Boss LMB-3 and tried the Demeter and the Aphex Punch Factory and the Tone Factor really does do it for me.

I highly recommend a Tone Factor Pulp Mill w/Bass Mod if you email them they will sort you out and that will be under £100 other than that you'll be spending over £100 on a new unit as the only others I'd look at is a EBS Multicomp or a Demeter. So shoot [email protected] an email and tell him Steven Taylor sent you his way and he'll sort you out with what I feel is the best pedal compressors. Hope this helps

I have just ordered a Humphrey modded bass version after hearing good reports, i will report in due course[/quote] It's good for the money personally I prefer the Hot Head for bass just sounds meaner but both have a digitalness to them (hehe I made a new word) what I mean by that is they aren't very reactive to your playing same sort of gain just quieter if you play softly instead of what most fuzz/distortions and overdrives do where they clean up and such. For the money they aren't bad but I wouldn't pit them against anything boutique, never tried a modded one either

I would avoid it, didn't impress me one bit it's a much tamer big muff circuit or half a circuit or something along those lines. For what you want I'd look into the Tone Factor Cream Pie, Xotic BB Preamp or Barber LTD but on a budget a Dod 250 might manage it. But I'm sure someone was selling a Cream Pie recently on here for like £50 which is a pretty good price

I think a Crowther Hotcake XLF for the Chord stuff and a Catalinbread Hyperpak or Mojohand Mule for the Lead but all 3 will work for all of it. But when you start hunting I've used/owned the following distortion/overdrive and fuzz pedals so if you want any reviews just let me know Crowther Hotcake Bluesberry Crowther Hotcake Bluesberry XLF Tech21 XXL Bass Tech21 Programmable Sansamp MXR M-80 Tone Factor/Mojo Hand Mule Catalinbread Hyperpak Catalinbread V8 Fuzz Barber LTD Dod 250 Custom Guitar Noise Dirtbox Tone Factor/Mojo Hand Huckleberry Prescription Electronics Depth Charge Ibanez PD-7 Boss ODB-3 EHX Big Muff USA EHX Big Muff Russian EHX Double Muff Bixonic Expandora Exp-2000R Zvex Wooly Mammoth Zvex Fuzz Factory Zvex Machine Digitech Bass Overdrive Tone Factor Copperhead Tone Factor Cream Pie Tone Factor Hellbaby Catalinbread Serrano Digitech Bad Monkey Guyatone FZ-2 Guyatone OD-2 Guyatone HD-2 DHA (Can't remember the name of it but it had all 3 modes) Crowther Prunes & Custard Moolon Bass Drive Fulltone Bassdrive Fulltone Fat Boost Zoom Ultra Fuzz Zoom Power Drive Zoom Hyper Lead Line 6 DM4 DOD FX10 Bi Fet Catalinbread Teaser Stallion There is prolly more but if you don't find a pedal you like in there

[quote name='BigRedX' post='89439' date='Nov 16 2007, 02:53 PM']Unfortunately never... It's pretty much replaced 5U's worth of rack-mounted FX boxes and it does so much more and is self-contained and only requires a MIDI clock for synchronisation... Plus it was an end of line clearance item and cost me £50 8-)[/quote] So you're turning down my offer of a half eaten mars bar and a shiny button..................... you fool *shakes head*
