The search for bass fuzz can be a bit of a holy grail quest, certainly take recommendations, but you'll never truly know until you try a lot Si

Stunning bass though. Make contact, go to Germany to it (I highly recommend a week in Bavaria). Sorted Si

As far as I'm aware, there are not any cheap copies of Darkstars. There are some hand-built clones, however they are likely to be very good quality in any case. I think for £250, you can't really go wrong. Si

Whilst slightly different to what you're wanting to achieve, I use a Gigrig Electroman (for my big box 24v Bass Micro Synth), and that works fine off a Diago MP9 daisy chain. Cheers Si

[quote name='mikebass84' timestamp='1433963983' post='2795529'] I think I'm done for now [/quote] lol.....sure Si

First thing I spotted lol. Meh, I dunno, at any price point I don't expect 'errors', those Sires look pretty flawless for the same money. Tbh, I'd stick to that really nice Corvette you got man! Si

My OCD can't get past the bridge placement not being in the centre of the tone-block......or matching up with the width of the neck. It will be interesting to see what the general fit and finish is like, the nut looks messy, however could just be shine/bad photos. I wonder what the inside cavity looks like And yes, the control layout is............silly Si

If money or size is no object, then get the Strymon Big Sky, there's nothing touching that thing at all, stunning sounds. However I imagine real-estate and money IS a factor, and so I'd still go HOF or anything Mr Black Si

Did anyone win anything? I got my hands on the COG Tarkin Si

I love seeing 66s on boards!! I always feel like a proud half-parent Si

Based on my gfs Nano with pedals on (I've not populated the Warwick yet), not much room at all. You might be able to squeeze stuff in, but I wouldn't count on retaining your pedal settings lol. If you want a cable/strap pocket, I'd consider the Mini sized board (or the new PT Nano+), which has an extra pocket on the bag. Si

You'll need to use your ears man, again, never heard of someone using the a POG in their FX loop. Also remember that the FX Loop will be after your pedals effectively, what if you prefer the sound of some of the loop pedals BEFORE the pedals on the board?! Si

[quote name='Edenburgh' timestamp='1433538397' post='2792055'] Thanks all for your comments on this - I think I just had epiphany#2 as follows: 'Bare bones' pedal board (Tuner/Comp/Pre-AmpDI) will go inbetween Bass and Amp (Bass==>Pedals==>Amp). I can run board number 2 (POG, Muff PI, Chorus, Env Filter) on the FX send/return loop of my Amp. This means no messing about with cables on either pedal board - I just pull out whichever one I need at the time. It's good to talk! [/quote] Hmmmm, I dunno man. Check to see if you amp expects a line level in it's send/return. No-one ever has run a Fuzz in their amps FX loop lol. My guitarist used to run his delay pedal in his FX loop....not sure why. Si

So, it's clearly from the same factory. The bag is exactly the same, however the PT is a tiny but more substantial, chunkier feet and slightly thicker frame. That said, at this size, I can't imagine that making any difference. PT is on the left, Warwick on the right: [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/2qxmh50.jpg[/IMG] I purchased this from Hot Rox, Thomann was marginally cheaper but big-up Hot Rox. Si

[quote name='olliedf89' timestamp='1433514779' post='2791767'] Out of interest how would people compare the meatbox to the sub octaves on the pog2? I have a pog and was gonna get a meatbox but if the -2 Oct is similar then there may be no need...? [/quote] I don't think it's going to compare. The Meatbox isn't really about it being low from an 'octave' point of view, more that it's sub frequencies are heavily boosted. I've not tried a POG2, but if the Micro POG is anything to go by, the Meatbox will absolutely destroy it To be fair, there's not a great deal that comes close to the Meatbox, some say that the Aguilar Octomiser does a good impression, but it's too clean for my liking. The Mantic Density Hulk is probably the closest (ignoring their Beef Bag clone), but again, it's different to the Meatbox slightly. Si

I think the only niggling down I have on this, is the burst doesn't carry onto the belly cut (i.e. it's all black), looks strange to my eyes. But that really is *TRYING* to find an issue with it lol, it wouldn't stop me from buying one. I wonder how much a different scale length would be be Si

Should arrive today, so will give initial thoughts, then a comparison with the PT Nano tonight. Si

There is, of course, a lot of options available to you at this budget, however the rest of your 'spec' screams ACG Si

[quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1433415550' post='2790847'] Personally I don't think I'd ever use more than 2, but it allows me to switch them around. Another cool thing is that the carry bags zip together so you don't have to take them apart to transport them [/quote] They may be completely solid, but I agree, I think their main business will be people who use two of them probably. Si

I've just ordered a Warwick Rockboards Solo, they essentially look exactly like Pedaltrain Nano, but for a few pound less. I'm assuming exactly same factory etc. Will report back, I also have a Pedaltrain Nano that I can compare it directly to. Si

The Stompblox system looks interesting, although I'd want to check how sturdy (picking it up etc) the whole thing is with say 4 or 6 of them connected, full of pedals. Si

Yeah, I've seen lots of people use pedals over two boards, very common! Si

Effectively, the Meatbox gives a particular tone (mild fuzzy octave) with a 30hz sub boost. You could approximate the effect of the Meatbox with an EQ (either pedal or amp) and boosting that lots at 30hz, then turn it up to gig volume. Actually don't......or at least be careful and don't blame me Si

[quote name='Jonesy' timestamp='1433336798' post='2790188'] Sorry for the stupid question, but can you explain what you mean about the output being TRS to an idiot who is new to playing with effects and doesn't want to blow his rig up? =) [/quote] A standard mono instrument cable is comprised of Tip & Sleeve, a stereo cable is comprised of Tip, Ring & Sleeve. In this particular application, you can send different signals from the pedal to each part of the jack plug (with the exception of Sleeve which is always ground). And so, if you connect a standard mono instrument cable to this Meatbox, you'll get the effected signal to your amp, the Octave/dry signal is blendable via the Octave control. If you connect an 'insert cable' (google it), which is a stereo jack to 2x mono jacks, you can separate out the Wet (effected) signal, from a Dry (bass) signal. This is helpful for the meat box because it means you can send the dry signal to your amp and the effected signal to the PA (via a DI box as usual). Gives you the sub through the PA without destroying your amp Si
