  1. Will ebay tonight if not sold, open to offers
  2. Again another pedal I've bought and not really used. It's a great filter and one of the only ones I've come across capable of doing that FX25 subby floor rumbling sound. The tap tempo sample and hold is also really cool and can get quite pronounced. Again you can see it here on the far left of the board It's basically brand new, never gigged, never left the house, just got a bit of velcro on the bottom and still got the box and instructions. Here is a better pic and description Behold, The Proteus! The secret is out! Building on the success of The Prometheus, The Proteus embraces a very different philosophy. In short the Proteus is what many people wished the Prometheus had been- Simpler and much easier to use on the fly. The envelope filter mode is much more "funk" than "shoegaze." The step filtering is pure random sample hold. No ultra-fine tuning required. Just tap in a beat and The Proteus does all the thinking for you. Where The Prometheus is a mad science project run amok, the Proteus is exactly the opposite. Controls are simple, obvious, and do exactly what you expect every time. The low-pass filter does not cut out frequencies below the cutoff point, so the low end always stays intact. It can be bright at some settings, but never shrill. Controls- Bypass switch: Turns the effect off or on. Tap/Mode switch: Tapping the switch in time starts the sample/hold filter. Holding the switch down for one second switches back to envelope filter mode. Frequency: Filter resting point Depth: Filter modulation range for both envelope and sample hold mode. 1-2-4: Step multiplier. One, two or four steps per beat (sample hold mode only) The Proteus is powered externally only with a standard 9V negative center 2.1mm barrel adapter. A 12 volt power supply can be used for increased headroom. This pedal is the result of our multi-product R&D operation, Project Quasar. The design philosophy behind the Proteus was to create an "Anti-Prometheus." Now you are probably saying to yourself 'Well they are both filters.' In fact the filter circuit in the Proteus is exactly the same. The design philosophy was all about user control. The difference is options vs. ease of use. Even synth nerds can spend hours tweaking knobs and never cover everything The Prometheus can do. The Proteus is straight-to-the-point filter that anyone can figure out in 60 seconds. NOTE: The Proteus will not run off a battery. Externally powered only. Power supply is not included. The Proteus is hand made in Newberg Oregon. Die cast metal enclosures for durability. 3PDT switches for true bypass switching. Product Notes: Powered by an external regulated 9VDC to 12VDC adaptor with a negative center 2.1mm barrel style plug. Power supply is not included. If using a "daisy chain" power supply all other pedals MUST be negative ground. Current draw is less than 25mA. Input impedance- 1M Output impedance- Less than 1K. I'm after £110ono which is a bargain for this basically new pedal
  3. For a long time was my favourite fuzz but now I barely use it or fuzz in general, I set it up on my home fun board and again along with the rest of the board it just sits there looking cool. You can mod this with a bigger input cap to get a bit more low end response but having owned both the Fuzz Saw and the 2 Modded Bass Fuzz Saws that exist there is barely any difference at all, it affects the tone of the fuzz more than anything. You can see it there in the middle of the bottom row, it has a single knob for volume Here is a better quality stock image Here is a soundclip I did ages ago [url="http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone%20Factor/Fuzz%20Saw/Tone%20Factor%20Fuzz%20Saw.mp3"]http://www.grygrx.net/Pedal%20Reviews/Tone...0Fuzz%20Saw.mp3[/url] After £55ono Cheers
  4. Not used this much since I got it and doubt I will (expect a lot of pedal to appear for sale shortly ) Identical to this Comes with box, black knobs and red knobs, velcro on the bottom Those unfamiliar with the Shin Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz, this is the Radiohead Bass Fuzz with a few improvements such as true bypass, 9vdc in, led, smaller enclosure and above unity volume control. Here is a link the the builders page [url="http://www.fredric.co.uk/effects/shin-ei-fy-2-fy2-clone-unpleasant-companion"]http://www.fredric.co.uk/effects/shin-ei-f...asant-companion[/url] This is a very well built pedal, just as good as any of my American boutique pedals just like I say I don't use it nor do I use the other 6 fuzz pedals I currently own. New price is £75 plus shipping so I'll let my barely used one go for £55 shipped. Cheers
  5. Personally I would at least try it with what's in it, who knows you might like it
  6. [quote name='XPAULUSX' post='1010930' date='Nov 3 2010, 03:39 PM']So it would be okay with a tranny amp?[/quote] Yes it would be fine you'll just get less power to it but that's not the end of the world depending on the head
  7. Any updates on these, I still fancy that Red PJ

  9. [quote name='martin lee' post='1009453' date='Nov 2 2010, 11:46 AM']Fantastically defined and articulate just like your good self! cheers for the taking the pics the other day. [/quote] Are we still talking about basses, or are them some pics floating around that I really don't want to see.
  10. [quote name='Jarhead' post='707868' date='Jan 10 2010, 05:08 PM']As I recall, his board is pretty damn big, I'll see if I can dig a picture out somewhere. '77 jazz bass --> boss tuner --> boss OC2 --> passive DI for discreet sub channel at FOH --> zvex wooly mammoth fuzz (or maybe a crowther prunes and custard... the ol' brain box is a bit fuzzy) --> moogerfooger mf101 (with an ancient EMU expression pedal from my Emulator II) --> cheap ibanez synth wah pedal --> really really cheap ibanez 'soundtank' flanger (that i found in a rehearsal space) --> Line6 DL4 delay modeler --> DI --> WalterWoods amphead --> whatever speaker cabinet is around --> RE20 (or another good mic) That's a quote straight from John Davis, bassist of Nerve, 11/1/2008. oc2>mammoth>orbit>noisebox>bugcrusher>moog>fatman That was his touring rig from 16/7/2009 OC-2 (Output splits to the key in on the Fatman) into Zvex Mammoth into Copilot Orbit into Subdecay Noise Box into Bugcrusher into Moog LPF (with Expr and Robot Factory Exp Modulator) into Fatman into 201 into Boss RV3/5? That was Tayste over on Talkbass, accurately describing his board at Namm 09. I looked around for about 20 minutes, but I couldn't find an actual photo of the board at any point, which was irritating. He has a fantastic tone, and if you look for him on Talkbass (username: JohnDavisNYC) then you could probably get more info straight from him. Zach[/quote] Here is an interview I did with John Davis [url="http://www.tonefactor.com/blog/2010/07/22/interview-with-john-davis-of-nerve/"]http://www.tonefactor.com/blog/2010/07/22/...davis-of-nerve/[/url] Plenty of pics and info on his gear

  12. Free to anyone who wants it before monday then its going in the recycling. I'm based in Stockport Cheers
  13. I got mine this weekend when I bought an Ipad, I downloaded the Free version and then bought the Bass Amp, it was 40% off I don't know whether that is when you first get it or just this week but it was like £1.50 for the Head and 1x15 cab. Personally I love the sound of it for home practice, would I gig it NO, would I use it in the studio NO, will I have it on the road with me everytime I go anywhere with my band, HELL YEAH. It just makes practicing easy no messing around with loads of cables and needing a power supply. I've had a Korg PX3b and PX4b and neither sounded as good as this, I find it's comparable when using headphones to my Bass Pod XT which I've now sold. If you have an Ipad or Iphone it's well worth investing in, but just get the free version and buy the Bass Amp.
