  1. Hey all, This is the original prototype for the production Knightfall 66 pedal, which I ordered as a custom order prior to the design (mainly controls) being slightly tweaked, and put into production. Drop me a PM and I can show you more info about how it was born. So this is a two-channel Knightfall 66, with global controls for blend, bass (low) and High (treble), then per-channel controls for gain and volume. Left switch is for switching between channels, right switch is for on/bypass. The knobs have been changed by me shortly after I received the pedal so that each channel (blue/red) relates to the LED colour for the A/B foot switch. In addition (I don’t believe the production Knightfall 66’s had this), there are multiple diode options available per channel. The interior diode clipping switch (see image) is numbered 1-10, with the options as follows: 1: Ch2 - MOSFET 2: Ch2 - LED 3: Ch2 - Ge 4: Ch2 - 1N4001 5: Ch2 - Si 6: Ch1 - Si 7: Ch1 - 1N4001 8: Ch1 - Ge 9: Ch1 - LED 10: Ch1 - MOSFET There is also a trimmer inside the pedal, this controls the maximum clean volume when the pedal is engaged. The treble is rolled off the clean channel above around 3kHz to allow for better integration with the distortion, so you may feel you want to bump the clean volume up if there's a perceived volume drop. With regards the external control, the Low (Bass) knob adjusts the corner frequency of the first opamp stage, and as a result adjusts how much low-end will be clipped. To the left is tight and thin, and as you roll it round to the right you will loosen things up and saturate more bass. All the way to the right and you're in fuzz territory. I have found between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock yields the most usable results, though this varies with taste and the position of the blend knob. All the other controls are as per the standard Knightfall (v1): High (Treble) is a passive adjustable LPF, with "blanket over your cab" setting at the left, all the way round to "ice pick in my ear" on the right. Gain and Volume are obviously self-explanatory. You'll get different levels with the different diodes (Ge and LED being the opposite ends of the spectrum in this regard) Cash is king for this rarity, however would consider a Sire P5-5 in part exchange pending the colour, white being the preference. Cheers Si Cheers Si
  2. It’s still with me, I haven’t been pushing it as I might get away with not selling it…..but if there was an offer, I’d consider it still. Si
  3. SBL special ‘Black’ edition strap, excellent condition and barely used. Spec, according to SBL, as follows: - Made for Bass Player by Bass Players - Each strap is completely handcrafted - 3.75 inch wide padded strap - Evenly distributes weight to reduce fatigue - Extends from 37.5 inches - 51 inches - Accepts Standard Buttons and Strap Locks £60 inc uk postage Cheers Si

  4. Not much to say really, solid 3amp pedal power supply. I can also include a Daisy-chain if you need one (not pictured) £45 inc UK postage Cheers Si
  5. *Please Read Carefully* This is a Gigrig Isolator (v1) meant for use with the Gigrig modular pedal power system. Please note that only 3 of the 4 outlets are working. The left-most output does not function and will not power a pedal. Gigrig will not service the unit as far as I know. The other 3 outlets work fine and so will be great for Isolating 3 of your pedals. £2 postage. Cheers Si
  6. The EBS looks maybe twice as big as I had space for, luckily the Gigrig stuff has nailed it! Si
  7. Looking forward to it! Si
  8. They’re a very specific flavour of bass, not overly popular I guess (hence the relatively few numbers), but a very dedicated fan club on TB. Si
  9. Bought some EBS patch cables from Pat, great comms and quick shipping! Would happily deal again! Cheers Si
  10. Decent price seeing as they’re fairly rare. Shame that the aftermarket scratchplate is screwed on, would look better in its original state without one. Cracking colour! (Not mine of course) Si
  11. Well the bottom-left is my ‘Main’ board, in that it gets used in the band I typically have the most gigs with. Bottom right was meant to be a smaller approximation of that board…for when I need to take less gear…but only really gets about 70% there tonally, still nice though. The Enabler board I just put together because they were bits I had lying around, but it turned out to be a really nice ‘clean’ board, ie no drive, that I typically use with Jocee. The top left board is definitely the most ‘fun’, so much drive and dirt, no band for that at the moment, but I’m working on it. The HX Stomp board is essentially just a backup to everything, because why not, I have approximations of each board programmed into it. So favoured? Functionally it would be the ‘main’ board…. But my heart says the drive board. Who doesn’t enjoy stacking 3 dirt pedals into a Sansamp? 🤪 Si
  12. Board family update…a few little changes, mainly the main board as per my last post, and a couple of better cables on the other boards. Si
  13. Yea, in theory. Although now I’m looking again (it was quite a while ago I checked), I can’t see any of the S1 Jazz Knobs available, so the pots are kinda useless without those. I should have grabbed the couple I saw on eBay last year. Si
  14. I’m going for a toggle as I’d prefer that to a push/pull pot (the out position is not elegant IMO). I did look into buying a Fender S1 pot and switch, but by the time I’d get it to Lakland, it would have been like £50 all in. I’ll stick with a toggle switch haha. Si
  15. I have one being added to my current US Dual J build. Really good feature for Jazzes I think. Si
