We went a couple of years ago as Kate Rusby was playing, lovely day out, very chilled!!
Always check out the lineups, but was otherwise engaged this year.

I'd highly recommend a Midget from Barefaced. I have a G2 Midget (1x12) and it's easily as light as much smaller 1x10s. Loads of headroom, I've walked it through London with a Little Mark 2 and a bass no problem.
I've also gigged a little Bag-End 1x10 before which was nice, not a great deal of low-end as it wasn't ported, however sounded fine and held it's own. Heavier than the Midget though.

I'd highly recommend the Markbass stuff, although specifically I use the LM2s. I imagine the tone shaping will be identical on the LM3s, however I can't comment on overall tone as it's not an analogue power section on the LM3, digital innit. Sure they're still excellent though.
My only experience of gigging TC stuff is the house 'rig' at Ronnie Scotts bar (upstairs), am not a fan of it, but that is just one situation in one venue.

Not fitting a tort guard to that green one is heresy.

No way, all 'custom colours' should have white/mint scratch plates apart from Oly White

Some Fuzzrocious pedals have controllable feedback, the Demon King for example, excellent Overdrive/Distortion with a tuneable feedback on a momentary footswitch.
Big pedal, however Ryan might be able to to incorporate it into the smaller Demon enclosure.
Drop him an email
*Note that this video has the Feedback on a latching switch instead of non-latching.

Depends really, a 5 or 6 string obviously retains your string intervals, a 4 string in drop D moves your E string out of your traditional fingerboard patterns.
Some people will find a 5 string more comfortable, some people will find a 4 in D more comfortable. Depends how good you are with fingerboard knowledge

I made the Monte Allums mod to my ODB3, did everything you describe in your first post here. It transformed the pedal into something much more usable and controllable.

Just had a listen to that mod, really does improve the pedal doesn't it!!

On our test rig, the tone difference was fairly clear - no problem telling the two pedals apart in a blind test. Taiwan one was a bit "ruder", and Japanese OctaveR had a sweeter mid-range (that may be for the reason described!). Both good in different applications. But then again we only tested 2, not 9

I fully submit to your test rig, my tests were simply at gigs and 'in the field'

Hey I sold 5 of my 9 . Released back into the wild

Is there no label on the back?
A friend and I did a side-by-side test of a Taiwan OC2 vs Japanese OC2 'octaver' and you could hear a difference IMO. Both good though
[/quote]
The only real difference I hear between the Taiwan/Japanese Octave & the earlier Japanese Octaver is that the OctaveR has a slight gain drop on the clean signal. I actually prefer how the OctaveR sits in a mix, however all OC2s sound great, even the Taiwan versions.

[color=#000000]Ah, that may well be true, I was just going on other posts I’ve read here. This is the only one I’ve owned and it has the classic sub bass with -1 soloed that I was after from hearing others use them.[/color]
[color=#000000]No label on the back – it must have been the victim of Velcro.[/color]

If you open up the battery compartment, there may well still be the serial number, which you can decode here:

I'd say take a look at the COG TK-421-X & the MXR Bass Distortion (designed by Fuzzrocious) too.
Those two and the B3K are probably the best Bass Distortions with a blend at the mo .
There are lots others that probably fall more into the Overdrive or Fuzz categories, it can all be a bit grey lol
