I use mine with my '78 Jazz bass and also with an american P bass and it really pumps their tone up, it makes them sound tighter and adds more definition and sustain. I love mine to death, I just step on it and there is the tone I really like... it transforms my passive basses into a more punchy modern sounding instruments but without loosing their original tone. I would definetly recommend this box to anyone wanting to add chararcter to a passive bass and not doing any mods to the bass. The DI also sounds awesome!

I sold my MXR M-80 to Dood... Very easy transaction, great communication... Top man, it's all I can say. I hope you enjoy the pedal... Thanks!

I'm quite picky when it comes to effects, I don't use many and when I used them I always like to have my bass tone there with the added effect. I mean, I always prefer to have the blend option so I can choose the presence of the effect in my sound... Do you know what I mean? Has anyone tried the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive?

Get it bought - [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-James-LoMenzo-HyperDrive~ID~8587.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...ive~ID~8587.asp[/url][/quote] That's one of the pedals I'm looking at... I've read the review and listen to the soundclips and I like it.

Bought my MXR Blowtorch: easy and smooth transaction, top chap! Hope you enjoy the pedal!

Do you have any sound clips of the Cream Pie?

[quote name='metaltime' post='201670' date='May 18 2008, 07:16 PM']FWIW i havnt noticed any low end loss from my cream pie. English muffin is not very similar to any other muf.f The English muffin is quite highly regarded by some users on talkbass. Where abouts in the country are you?[/quote] I'm in Hove, East Sussex. [quote name='BassManKev' post='201682' date='May 18 2008, 07:22 PM']that english muffin sound sample has put me right off it, seems to totally suck tone away when engaged?? or are my pc speakers being particulary sh*te today[/quote] [quote name='ahpook' post='201707' date='May 18 2008, 07:40 PM']it sounds ok to me...[/quote] It sounds ok to my ears too.

Well guys out of all the pedals you've mentioned the ones I've tried and didn't like are the Boss ODB-3 and also the MXR M-80 (which is up for sale on the forum if you are interested). I've never had a chance to try the Cream Pie or the TC Electronic Vintage Bass Distortion, they seem ok but a bit unsure about the cream Pie since it's a guitar pedal and seems to loose some bottom end. I mentioned the Muffs because I found this clip and I like the sound of the English Muff'n, listen: [url="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968020/english.mp3"]http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/4/9/968020/english.mp3[/url] How would you compare the English to the Russian Muff? People seem to favour the Russian over the rest of the Muff family but I've never play any of the muffs.

What about one of the muff's family pedals? Russian Big Muff perhaps?

Thanks guys for all your help! I had also thought about using a boost pedal but I was kind of worried about the level diference between clean and distorted tones... is it going to be too much? [quote name='Kubickiboy' post='201337' date='May 18 2008, 12:47 AM']I use a TC Electronic Vintage Bass Distortion which has 2 switches. I set it for a nice o/d grind, then I can press the boost switch for an extra 10% of distortion. Great pedal. Best bass distortion I've had yet. Retains your tone but can tip it over the edge as well.[/quote] I have listened to the soundclip on their website and seems like a good choice but I'm not completly sure that's what I'm after. Any other pedal that can give the sound that grit I'm looking for?

I'm using an Ampeg SVT Classic head and I mainly use quite a clean tone but I also like a lot the overdriven sound I get from the Ampeg when cranking the gain all the way up. Since I only like to have and use that overdriven tone for certain parts of the songs we play, I was wondering what's the best way to do it. I know It may sound silly but i'm not completly sure of how to achieve this. Any ideas? Any pedal that can give me that tone I'm after?

It's been a pleasure dealing with Tim... Just bought a Sadowsky Outboard Preamp from him and it was a very easy, smooth transaction. Great communication and very fast delivery. Thanks mate!
