Good stuff edd, glad you're enjoying it!
Makes me remember when i first downsized to my super-loud little rig, i had to keep looking behind me to make sure someone hadn't added another couple of cabs it was so loud...
Sigh..... -
I have a pedal which has a very loud hum when i use it with a 9v power supply. It's fine when i disconnect the adapter lead, but hums loudly and gets worse when the effect is on. It's an EBS multidrive.
I had a look on the pinned topic and on other threads but found nothing i thought would fix it. Tried it with different basses, power packs, used the adapters with other pedals to rule them out, changed leads (it still hums loudly when the input is not connected)
Any ideas? The guy who sold it didn't use it off mains and said it might be something to do with the phantom power EBS use (where you can power your pedals from an EBS amp via the jack lead).
The pedal sounds ace otherwise so seems disappointing to have to return it
Cheers for any info

Aye, and when they show rubbish tape over the awesome playing bits, when all you really want to see is the musicians, not Joni Mitchell prancing around in a daft coat or cut scenes from casinos and stuff -
From the Shadows and Light gig i think. There's some awesome songs on that. Check Dry Cleaner from Des Moines, that's ace!

[quote name='dangerboy' post='336077' date='Nov 25 2008, 10:35 AM']The Belcat Delay is surprisingly good, too. I also used to have the Biyang fuzz pedal - it's basically a Big Muff with some interesting clipping mods - you can change one pair of diodes for LEDs with a switch.[/quote]
Quite interested in getting one of the fuzz pedals, not seen em before. Like this?:

Do they handle the lows well?

[quote name='Delberthot' post='347020' date='Dec 6 2008, 08:28 AM']The thing with Nathan East from what I've read is that he likes to take advantage of his high profile by taking the mickey and blagging loads of free stuff.[/quote]
Disgusting behaviour! I would never do that!

Just bought yer ep after listenin to the the myspace tracks. Now THAT is how a bass should sound!
-
I recall a link to a Billy Sheehan vid from another thread in which he states that the bass he uses is the off the shelf signature model, no special gubbins or woods, exactly what you'd get if you bought one.
Has to be applauded, even if he is a scientologist -
I've just found out wilkos do decent sticky-backed velcro, looked last night and it's £1.99 for 1m of both sides. I use standard stuff from ebay and it holds really well as long as the underside of the pedal is clean.
Another trick i use with boss pedals is to stick 2 strips of velcro between the rubber. You still get purchase on the velcro but can use it out of the pedalboard too. Good if you want to sell the pedal later!
On my wah (jim dunlop) i took the battery cover off and reversed the backplate, sticking the velcro to the underside instead of mucking up the back cover.
Oh yeah, some little strips of standard velcro to hold your power leads in place. I can send you some if you like, i've got loads at home.
Also (RE the last question) i assume (probably wrong then!) that any 9v cable will fit? I use different ones with my Dinosaur power pack and they're fine. If you find some cheaper ones let me know!
Diago also do adapter cables for weirder power/jack requirements if needs be -

I took up classical guitar as a fun hobby, really enjoyed it but am not consistent enough to play it live. Too much intricate work for my clumsy fat fingers!
So i guess you could say i'm a competent bass player turned failed guitarist! -
BUMP for a bargain, just had to back out of this deal and it's a crazy price for an immense head.

I want an XO PolyChorus. And an XO Deluxe Memory Man. That would make the EHX range perfect.
Do these new models run off 9V? My big problem with a lot of old EHX pedals is that you need a different power supply for each one.[/quote]
Diago do leads for most pedals including the EHX pedals with the tiny jacks and different power requirements (usa big muff, 18v and black big muff etc.). Not cheap but convenient. I guess you could have some made up? My local electronics shop does stuff like that as i know a guy who works there, they don't like doin it though as it's not worth the mate's rate's i pay em! -
Dibs please!

Not had that problem but had one set of LaBella strings where the core of the E arrived damaged so the string sounded rubbish. At first they asked me to return it but after stressing i had a gig in 2 days they sent me a replacement.
Then had an E string from a set of Warwick strings break (at the bridge) whilst tuning it up for the first time, wasn't even up to the required pitch.
Then (i know...) i bought some Elites from them and the bottom 40cm of the strings were slightly rusted.
Having whinged i must say i ordered quite regularly from them, but 3 mishaps sort of put me off a bit.
The first two incidents suggest they sell below par strings, the third makes me think they'd been lying around in a damp warehouse for a few weeks proir to being shipped -

Strap locks for thick strap

Have a snip with sharp scissors? Sometimes the new leather is so stiff that it needs "persuading" with some pliers to make it more, erm pliable.
Had to do this with a strap my missus bought me last christmas. Once i was able to get the nut on i used a spanner and ratchet to tighten it. Still on a year later.
Sometimes a foolish ham-fisted approach is the best way!
