I use the Octave section of the MarkBass Super Synth. Very nice. The octave down is very similar to the Aguilar tone. I'd quite like to have an OC2 again though for back up. Anyone go one to part with?

Buy the EBS Neoline 112 in the for sale section. You will not regret it. Amazing cab, and £300 is a steal!

I was the lucky chap to win a BG500 from TC Electronics, and as mentioned I have a review of it in this months BGM. For sound, quality and for price I would honestly say I would choose the BG500 over both the combo and the stack. I really struggle to like the tone of the RH450, I can't explain how, but coming from my EBS tone it just seems 'Weak'. The BG500 however sounds massive and has more volume than I know what to do with. BUT... You are going on a train. That means the BG500 IS NOT the amp for you. It is in no way portable and is a 2 man lift for anything other than moving it 10feet or so. It is a real heavy beast and not designed as a portable amp. it is a high studio and live quality bit of kit, packed with features, but at the pay off of weight. Shep

Love the PJB rig! Almost as nice as my EBS Neo rig Some awesome setups floating around now.

Gazza bought my Boss ODB3. Quick payment and a total hassle free sale. Cheers! Shep

[quote name='Jarhead' post='947871' date='Sep 7 2010, 03:53 AM']That sounds pretty good. The group has downsized to just me and the DJ as our drummer didn't have much time to spare. I now am going to start running my bass into his Korg Radia to process it, which should work fine, and then add a few other FX after, if needs be. Do you gig often? Zach[/quote] Not at the mo. We have done a few live bits and bobs but have spent ages recently getting the stuff tight enough, and interesting enough to do some real gigging. We have been asked to take a 2 hour resident spot at a local club that do loads of Drum & Bass on a friday starting in 2 months time, so the aim is to have a good recording and get rid of the stuff which is a little too 'Jazz' by then. Oh, and to perfect my pedal dance to keep it constant :-)

Ha! Cheers Russ. Thats certainly a better option financially!

I'm already considering an unlined fretless singlecut version of the Marseer as well…. oh dear...

Pedal, but that's the board - 30" by 12" Pics of it set up fully by the end of the week. Promise!

I do lots of Drum & Bass now, but with live drums, no sequencing and no samples. As an effects set up I use the following... MarkBass SuperSynth (I use the Octave side as much as the Synth) 3 Leaf Audio Groove Regulator FuzzHugger A-BSynth (Set to Glitch as it sustains) Guyatone PS3 Phase Shifter EBS Unichorus (Run with Sub octave and phase shifter for huge sub tone) Boss DD20 Delay Boss SL20 Slicer Moog MF-102 Ring Modulator (Exp. Pedal for Freq). Sound is huge but takes some time to get used to switching tempo's and keeping changes tight. Lots going on but it covers all bases. Octave is always going to be the D&B friend. I have 3 presets, but mostly use octave down with no original signal. Flavoured with soft chorus. That's the mainstaple of my sound.

Perhaps you are heading back to a larger pedaltrain again![/quote] [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='873934' date='Jun 21 2010, 09:53 PM']No no no.... I am not taking a bigger board again... I can carry this one![/quote] OK... Spoke too soon. My new board is the biggest yet! Lol

Thats what I'm looking at now. Some 2nd hand Korg EA-1's on the bay'. I just wanted to investigate any options people may know of that would fit on the pedalboard 1st, but I think your going to be right with the Drum Machine!

Cheers. The device already has tap tempo. However that's not accurate enough. I need to be able to choose a bpm and know at a glance that's what it's running at before switching it on!

Hi people, I need something that is, or that generates a midi clock signal and that has a visual display of what the the tempo is via LCD readout and that can send that signal to an external source. Red Sound used to make the Micro Sync & the Voyager 1, both of which would do the job, the are compact and allow you to set the tempo on the display and send that to an external device. They have both been discontinued and when they do crop up on eBay I always get sniped! Does anyone know of anything else that does this, that is reasonably sized and doesn't cost the earth? Shep

Hi people. Just back from a morning at Robbies. First off, what a top bloke. Friendly, professional and an impeccable taste in music. I was also more than delighted to be greeted with a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. Now THAT'S customer service! Took a few pics on the trusty iPhone, most of which are nothing you haven't already seen, but it's so stunning you can't have too many pictures of the Marseer. Robbie offers plenty of flexibility in the build process, an wile I have been pretty specific already about components, he found a few other things for me to make a decision over. Size & Colour of side dots - Robbie had a few options on offer and a million more option he could lay his hands on. We settled on 2.38mm brass tube, with the centre filled in black. Guna' look killer! RIM logo - Robbie had a good choice of pre-prepared 'R' logo's for the headstock in all manner of woods. Pic of my choice... Pickup switching - The Delano's come with option switching for series/single coil/parallel and a few other options as well. As the Aguilar pre has plenty of EQ on tap as well as a switch to select mid frequency, adding another 2 switches seemed overkill. Plus, having sampled the pickups and pre before, I felt they offer me everything I need. As such they will be wired in series with no switching options. Pics of the body with the lovely pickups in place... And for good measure another pic of the awesome fishtail and the current state of the (somewhat square) neck, being lovingly watched over by Boba Fett...

[quote name='0175westwood29' post='942712' date='Sep 1 2010, 09:39 PM']got me a tu-3 on the way! awesome! andy[/quote] Got it yet? How does it compare to the TU-2?

Fishtail routed and looking sweeeeeeeeet! Am off to RIM HQ on Sunday to have a closer look at bits and bobs... Really looking forward to it! Shep

Just Noticed this thread. On August the 7th i got married and my wife walked down the isle to Tommib by Squarepusher. Cool! (Then we walked out to Gorecki by Lamb). Squarepusher is a very talented man!

I thought this was going to avoid being a filter discussion ;-) Every pedal has strengths and weaknesses. The 3Leaf is the best I've used for 'my' application of an Envelope Filter. I've never had the need for expression pedals with a filter, just never found that I personally had a need.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='942490' date='Sep 1 2010, 07:05 PM']Uh oh that makes it even more attractive - did you have to import it from the States? Without wanting to divert this into an envelope filter thread which other ones have you had that the GR is better than apart from the DiscumBob?[/quote] I did import it from the states but its reasonably priced and I asked them to declare it as less than it was so I avoided import fees I have owned… Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk DiscumBOBulator DOD FX25b MXR M82 EBS Bass IQ Plus all the envelope parts of many synth pedals. My best bud owns a Lovetone Meatball which I like, but there is too much rubbish it can do as well. The 3Leaf is basically all the real bass friendly bits of the Meatball stripped out and put in an easy to use pedal, with what sounds to me like much better tracking on the low end. I had a play on a Meatwad, which I guess is the mid point between the Meatball and the Groove Regulator, but really struggled to get a nice sound from it. Groove Regulator just works for me! Thats enough in this thread about filters! Look… Glowing pedal board!!! :-)
