I bought a pedal from Luke with good comms and quick delivery and it's in the good condition as described. Thanks!

Classical, Jazz, Techno, Ambient, Dub, tribal drumming, (and many more) disagree. Instrumental music communicates emotions without directly telling you in lyrics 'I am sad/happy because...' it's applicable to every human regardless of what languages they speak, it lets you use your imagination. It's instrumental music that makes me consider the philisophical question of why people enjoy music, whereas someone singing 'yeah, yeah, I love you baby, and I don't mean maybe' sort of de-values music.

Lyrics are overrated* *usually

The C4 and Future Impact are the best ones I've used. To get the best out of either of them requires Laptop editing though (and extra control stuff for the C4). Or save £hundreds and go the Zoom route which isn't as good but does decent usable synth sounds.

I guess it might have been down to the rest of my setup but also that I had the non-deluxe version which doesn't have as much EQ control.

I'd need to draw a line at Robbie Williams 'Angels'.

Yeah, I'm suprised they aren't playing bigger venues/festivals, they are playing at a punk festival this weekend. Personally, I'd put them headlining City Splash as they are pretty much the best UK Roots Reggae band still playing live in the UK. They were practicing at Arch studios in Chiswick and had Blood Shanti playing keys. I was a bit star-struck! Edit: Blood shanti was drumming

Misty In Roots were playing in a practice room next to us the other day and sounded excellent (my band didn't end up playing much as we kept stoping to listen!), had a chat with a couple of them and they were very friendly and down to earth and supportive.

I've got an MXR Brown Acid which I think is based on the Coloursound and likewise - no bass loss, no need for clean blend.

"sweeping between 500 Hz to 2.4 kHz with the Low Mid Frequency knob (LMF) or 3.5 kHz to 7.5 kHz on the High Mid Frequency knobs (HMF)." Isn't that all a bit high? The 100-500Hz range is where I tend to want the most control but presumably thats's all covered by the one (non-sweepable) Bass dial so it's going to have a broad Q and not much control (e.g. wanting to reduce <70Hz while boosting 300Hz seems impossible). Seems like most other EQ pedals give more control in that range to do that: Sweepable ranges on the Q-Strip (40 kHz -700 Hz & 300 Hz- 6kHz), or single mid sweepable things like the Tech 21 Para Driver (160 Hz -3kHz), Starlifter (150Hz–2.8KHz) or EQ points on graphic things like the Boss GEB-7 at 50, 120, 400, 500.

I guess it starts being a bit more like stamp collecting.

Most expensive pedal? This must be a contender:

Anthony B & Massive B 'Turn it up' Carnival vibes!

Capleton 'You will make it'

I'm no expert but if you're not in a rush to sell I'd put it at quite a high price (£400) on Reverb or eBay for a while to test the waters, there is potentially a collector out there that is willing to pay a lot for 37 year old ratty looking rat! Some pedals look best pristine, but an 80s Rat is one that needs a bit of mojo. I think this is the same model as yours and they are trying for £591: https://reverb.com/uk/item/54529910-proco-small-box-rat-1985-whiteface

I'd always think of it as the bedwetter though.

I'm always looking for a Motown type slightly overdriven tube tone from pedals. Best ones I've owned: DHA VT1 Creation Audio Grizzly Bass Broughton Fliptop Solid Gold FX Beta ...all of those are great and I kind of regret selling them (particularly the Grizzly). I currently have a combination of One Control Crimson Red & One Control Hookers Green that sound good individually and combined. I've got my eye on the Acme Audio Motown D.I. but at £450 it's more than double the cost of any ot the things I listed above, I can't really justify that cost so have my eye out for them second hand. A pedal/DI is probably only a small part of the Motown sound though. Technique, P Bass, old Flatwound strings and their particular Motown DI/recording equipment are probably needed to compretely recreate it. As far as I know, although the B-15 is often what people think of for Motown Bass sound (and is what the Crimson Red and Broughton Fliptop emulate), the Motown recordings were actually via DI rather than a mic'd B-15.

It's new to me so I need to spend a while with it, first impressions are it's great value and small size (and there isn't a huge choice in mini sized envelope filter pedals) and I like some of the sounds it makes, but I wish it has a volume control - that's partly why I've moved my compressor to the end of chain.

It's basically a Tubescreamer (with volume, gain, tone controls) with added Symmetrical/Asymmetrical clipping switch, and Bass boost switch https://gojira.co.uk/product/gojira808/ I'm in two minds whether I sell it as I also have a One Control Hookers Green that sounds similar enough and is smaller (but doesn't have the variety of tones - or Homer's face!)

I've learned that mini pedals can be annoying as there's no standard placement for the connections - so they often don't align and squeeze in closely together. Much bigger pedals with top mounted connections don't actually take up much more room on a board like this e.g. an Aguilar Grape Phaser would probably fit in that Phase 95 slot.
