I recently sold David my Crowther Prunes & Custard - It was a thoroughly smooth and pleasant experience from start to finish. Swift payment and good communication throughout. Great guy to do business with!

Oh man, that Bananana looks like exactly the kind of pedal I would spend my money on

You’ll need to spend a little time “learning” the controls as there are a lot of options on deck, but it’s a fun process from what I remember. Really need to buy one myself.

You missed a MojoMojo in the classifieds! It’s still for sale!

Does the hiss only occur when you solo one of the pickups or is it always present?

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1509063582' post='3396441'] It's absolutely bangin'. I'm glad I sold all my other DI/Preamp pedals. I love the EQ and the filth. I'll write a proper post over the weekend when I've spent more time with it. [/quote] Looking forward to the review. I still have my beady eye on this pedal...

Provided both cabs are rated at the same impedance, they’ll be getting an equal share of the power, regardless of whether you’re daisy chaining or have separate speakon/jack outputs on the head. The head also doesn’t care what the cabs power rating is - they’re getting fed the watts whether they like it or not. It may be useful to think of the impedance of a cab as the sum of its speakers where Ohms are concerned. For example a 2x10 rated at 8 ohms will be made up of two 16 ohm drivers which, paired together, equate to an 8 ohm load. If the 2x10 is rated at 4 ohms then each driver will be rated at 8 ohms. In a 4 ohm 4x10 cab each driver will be rated at 16 ohms, etc. This is why it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to stack an 8 ohm 2x10 on top of an 8 ohm 4x10 as the drivers in the 2x10 will be working twice as hard as those in the 4x10 and you’ll have a bit of an imbalance. In this scenario, as far as distribution of power is concerned, the solution would be to have an 8 ohm 2x10 on top of a 4 ohm 4x10. Trouble is, not all heads can handle a load lower than 4ohms total so this isn’t possible for a lot of people. Barefaced worked around the issue by developing their 2x10 cab in a 16 ohm version which allows you to stack 3 of them and only have a 4 ohm load presented to your amp. It’s a Class-D friendly solution. 3 Barefaced Two10s ain’t cheap though

In fact, the pedal on the right of my photo is a mixer which will allow you to have both signals running at the same time. It was a custom order. One input is always on at full volume and the other input is footswitchable with a dedicated volume knob to set its volume when engaged. Very useful little pedal. I think it cost me around £50 ish?

This was my solution - the pedal on the left. There are more complex alternatives but this is a neat solution in a standard sized pedal enclosure. Synth into channel A, Bass into channel B. Lower the volume of channel A to match the volume of the bass in channel B. Bright Onion were great to deal with too.

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1508928728' post='3395379'] One of those foldable Mark Bass amp stands might do! They have velcro on the front so put velcro on the zoom and it may angle it up it may be too big though! [/quote] Ah! Good thinking. I have one of those Markbass amp wedge things. It isn’t really wide enough to fit more than a couple of pedals on it side by side though. A laptop stand might be more practical, depending on how much you’re trying to fit on. Edit: just re-read the OP and seems it might well be perfect if the MS60b is all you’re using. You’ll have to make sure the underside of the pedal has the soft/loop side of Velcro appplied to it though as the MB amp wedge is covered with the rough hook side.

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1508921613' post='3395291'] Can the XLR and 1/4" outputs be individually selected as specific outputs or are they always linked? [/quote] I’m pretty sure you can route whatever you want to whichever output you want. Others will be able to give you a more specific answer though...

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1508874195' post='3395093'] Bitcrushers are amazing. I love my iron ether frantabit. Loads of 8bit-y, digital nonsense. [/quote] +1. Really enjoy my Malekko Scrutator for this very purpose!

The more I play the Super 5 the more I enjoy it. Still getting to grips with the coil switching on the humbuckers but to be honest there really isn’t a bad tone out of this bass, at any setting. I’m really enjoying the preamp especially. Subtle but very effective. It’s never overkill even at extreme cut/boost settings, unlike the Aguilar OBP3 in my Ibanez if not careful! As for the Double Four, I was able to play with it at length in store so knew it sounded great before buying. Handles the low B string with a nicer, fuller tone than some 10 inch combos I’ve played through. Although it does so at lower volume. At max volume it’s loud enough to jam with comfortably at home with an acoustic guitar or two but it’s [i]definitely[/i] not a gigging amp. That’s just not what it’s designed for. But what it does, it does really well. I’ve found that when playing music through the Aux input you can really crank the volume to a level much higher than the max level that the bass input channel allows. This will double as a really nice party speaker. Not that I have parties of course

Great breakdown there Mr. Lukin - very useful!

Ah! I see, great news. See this thread for my back to back omnibus of Bass Direct visits: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/313887-nbd-x2-mtd-kingston-content/#entry3394503
