Amazing bass overdrive from the genius of COG Effects here in the UK. Only for sale due to being excess to my needs (I also own the original Knightfall 66 prototype). Currently not in production due to COG concentrating on very limited runs of their octave pedals. From the COG site: A streamlined version of the two-channel Knightfall 66, the Mini 66 provides simplicity and versatility in a tiny Hammond 1590A enclosure. Don't let the size fool you, this thing sounds massive. The Voice knob of the Knightfall 66 is replaced with a three-position Fat switch, giving control over low end content before the gain stage. Similarly, the Tone knob is replaced by the three-position Cut switch to tame high end post-clipping. The filtered Clean channel of the Knightfall 66 is included, designed to integrate in a more natural sounding way than a typical full range clean signal. With nine different and repeatable settings to use in conjunction with the Gain knob, plus the Clean level knob, the Mini 66 is a huge sounding overdrive in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure. This is absolutely the mini overdrive your pedalboard is crying out for. * Filtered clean blend allows extensive sound shaping in conjunction with Gain, Fat and Cut * 2.1mm Boss-style 9v DC input (power supply not included) * True Bypass * Die-cast Aluminium Hammond 1590A Enclosure In perfect working order and great condition. £275 inc postage Si

I bought this for a project that never took off, so it has sat largely unplayed, which is a shame as it’s a lot of bass for the money. This is one for those who like to seriously down-tune. Pretty rare, not least that it’s a 35” 4 string. Niche & Awesome lol. It’s currently strung/tuned in Drop B. Features: - Neck-thru-body construction - 35” scale - Mahogany body - 5-piece maple & walnut neck - Ebony fingerboard - Anniversary inlay - EMG 35-DC/P4 active pickups - Volume & balance controls - EMG B64 active EQ - Black hardware - Grover tuners - ESP BB-604 bridge - 24 XJ frets I’ll get a weight asap but it’s pretty decent in my view. It’s in decent condition, but with it being a satin/matte type finish, there is some play-wear and bumps/dings as you’d expect, including some areas that have ‘glossed-up’ through use. I’ve tried to capture any imperfections below. Comes with a very simple gig bag, and as such would prefer collection/meet-up. I’m in High Wycombe. £475 Straight sale at the mo, but would entertain a Fuzzrocious Grey Stache with clean-blend as part-ex. Cheers Si Cheers Si

The time has come! Here we have my vintage Boss OC2 collection. You’re looking at 4x boxed pedals that are in fantastic working condition, and represent the 4 distinct eras of the OC2: Nov ‘82 Octaver - Japanese Black label Feb ‘87 Octave - Japanese Black label 89-94 Octave - Taiwanese Black label ‘97 Octave - Taiwanese Silver label This really is for the collectors and OC2 fans, an opportunity to own a part of Boss History all at once. £800 inc postage Please do message with any particular questions you might have. I have lots more photos of each side of the pedals and the boxes which I can send over too. Cheers Si

We’ll agree to disagree, my opinion is that it’s their intent to deceive, on whatever level. The litmus test would be to produce those same pedals in a country that is WAY more consistent with enforcing it’s IP legal framework, and let us know how many days it takes to receive the cease and desist 🤷♂️. People will buy what they want, the free market wins out and there will always be loopholes ‘acceptable’ exceptions through precedent…but we exist in a relatively tiny (bass) industry…and I’m sure we’d all like to continue having nice things available to us. DemonFX are some peoples acceptable exception, not for me. Si

Counterfeiters. Si

Yet DemonFX are out here copying artwork, enclosure shape/colours, fonts, names etc etc. No-one is annoyed at a clone effect necessarily, the primary issue comes when they’re counterfeiting the entire package. Si

Yeah that’s my understanding too, makes sense right?! lol. I’ll keep my eye out for some used Gig Rig in that case! Cheers Si
-
Don’t think it will fit under a PT Nano though. Thanks though. Si
-
I think where I’m getting to is realising that I should just suck it up and get another Cioks Sol haha. Easier to just set it up and forget, because it’s doing everything that I need. Cheers Si

Sorry for the radio silence on this thread, been a hectic weekend of ill family members and changes plans. I appreciate everyone mucking in their thoughts on this! For sure, that’s the thing though, by the time I’ve bought a Distro and an Isolator from Gigrig (as used they’re quite rare) I’m not far off getting a used Cioks Sol or Ojai as you say. This exercise is trying to get the quietest setup (ie isolated if possible) for as little money as possible, utilizing the fact that I already have a Diago PowerStation and the original Stomp PSU. I was vaguely aware of these, it would work do isolate the tuner, but doesn’t have enough output to power the HX Stomp. That said, I’m still yet to find an answer to this question (which I haven’t asked here yet). Does using an isolation block on just one pedal technical isolate both pedals from one another? Is it actually not necessary to isolate both pedals from one another?! Cheers Si

Nothing like supporting counterfeit goods is there 💪 Si

This is my wonderfully characterful v1 DL4, with home-applied ‘Rising Sun’ paint job. Really, the pedal is in Very Good condition, however I appreciate the additional paint job will not be to everyone’s taste. Mods, all professionally installed by Owen Electronics here in the UK: - Main 4 footswitches replaced with MUCH harder-wearing momentary switches. - Looper function assigned to topmost footswitch. Drop in and out of the Looper function regardless of which Delay setting you’re using. These were fairly common mods at the height of popularity and are well documented online. All working perfectly, includes original power supply and box, although the latter I would put at 5/10 condition. I will also include a Line6 connector adapter so you can connect to your pedalboard supply without issue. £190 Cheers Si

The tuner in the Stomp is excellent in my experience, I just don’t want to waste a switch on it in this setup. I have space for an external tuner, so why not. Si
-
Sorry, I mentioned it above, because digital pedals often don’t play nice when they’re not isolated from one another. Not above giving it a go though. Thanks though. Si
-
It needs to fit on a PT Nano with the Stomp and a DI. Si
-
Naaa, not down with batteries where I can help it, for a few different reasons. Thanks though. Si
-
Yeah, it’s a fair point about isolating the tuner. I just figured that as both pedals are digital, it would be preferable. I already have a Pedalnetic foot switch extension for the Stomp, but would like to try and retain 5 switches for fx blocks rather than lose one on the tuner, hence a separate tuner. The gigrig isolator would be great, but each output only gives 100mA. Si

Latest pedal(s) are my three Schu-Tone minis: ’FLOverdrive’ - BB Bass Pre clone. ’FJBOD’ - Blueberry drive with diode switch. ’Finn Chorus’ - Dan’s Replicant circuit. All named for my children, Florence & Finn (both have the initials FJ). Relay switching in 1590a format, love it, I can’t rave about Dan’s work enough! Cheers Si

Hi all, Let’s get your thoughts on this. For reasons, I want to run a small board with a HX Stomp and a Boss Tuner. Both require power of course, with the Stomp requiring a fairly hefty 1amp. I would love to simply use the HX Stomp power supply rather than a Cioks or similar. Is there a way I could split off some of that power to run to the TU2? Added challenge, would like the pedal powers isolated from one another. I do also have a Diago Powerstation hanging around (3amps), but same issue, how do I split to two power outlets while remaining isolated and giving the Stomp what it needs. Cheers Si
-
There’s definitely a lot of sounds in a very small space (as analogue boards go). Barely any overhang too! Si

Ok, this board can be signed off as done now. Changes from last time are the Cog 66 and TC Corona being replaced with a Schu-Tone ‘FLOverdrive’ (BB Bass Preamp clone), and a Schu-Tone ‘Finn Chorus’…both named for my kids. Add a couple of Barefoot Button Tallboys to make the switching more reasonable in the cramped conditions…plus a stacked Mooer switch topper for the tuner. The Barefoot buttons were necessary due to the Mooers not fitting the smaller SPST switches on the Schu-Tones…relay switching and all that. All on a PT Nano, powered by a Cioks Sol. Cheers Si
-
BFB’s arrived, nice quality, easy to fit as you’d expect. I got the acrylics as the leds on these pedals are right by the switches. These are their ‘Tallboys’ just the right height I think: Because the cheapy Mooer ones fit the TC Tuner, for that, I just plastic-cemented two together haha: Job done. Si

Dan just picked up my DG Vintage clone, same as always, easy, quick payment etc. Thanks 🙂 Si
