I had a very good experience with Orange when I had a repair on my Terror out of warranty. Sounds like a similar issue to mine at the time. Try calling them direct if you haven't already. Si

Remember that you're somewhat limited by what the amp is/isn't capable of. My suggestion would be to look for an bass/amp combination that gives you the sound you want, then just use pedals as colours on top of that! Si

Do you get the same problem when simply powering the POG on it's own? Say with a single Boss adapter or something? Si

It is amazing the amount of people who judge a band based on one song Fantastic band of very talented musicians and songwriters, great back-catalogue. Checkout the interview I did with Jim Creeggan here: [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/post/28409122108/interview-with-jim-creeggan-barenaked-ladies"]http://simonpoulton....arenaked-ladies[/url] Compiling a best of? Very tough. Checkout 'Thanks That Was Fun', great tune, one of their slightly darker ones. Si

[quote name='plunkrock' timestamp='1406147935' post='2508865'] I think I read that Sharon is doing pedals full time now so maybe that gap has closed a bit. [/quote] Just make sure you call her Shannon when you actually talk to either of them Yeah Joes Pedals is a great site, and Joe is a legend! Si

Yeah I'd be interested in trying the DG Vintage for sure. But I have to say, the Beta is pretty great at 'transparent' low gain thump. Si

With my above tests, I came to a couple of conclusions: I way prefer the Dark Driving in high gain, it does what it says on the tin....dark drive . With the Beta & BB, I think they work best in low gain The Demon, for me, shines in high gain. It should also be mentioned, that they all gain a certain something when put through a loud cab in a big room.....not stuck direct into Logic I had a Darkglass B7K, found it a bit too fizzy for my liking. Sounded too 'Fizz blended with Bass' as opposed to Bass drive/distortion. Having said that, people get some great results from them, just wasn't for me. Si

Here you go, nice little basic shootout with some of my fave low-med gain pedals. Pass it round [url="https://soundcloud.com/simonpoulton"]https://soundcloud.com/simonpoulton/sets/bass-overdrive-shootout[/url] Si

Hurrow! Weirdly, the Jazz Bass isn't mine, but the Black Precision in the P pickup video is haha. Waiting to pop my Salt P-pickup in my build, just waiting on the body from Bass Doc Si

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1405709031' post='2504647'] It [i]is[/i] good - I'm generally of the opinion that it's impossible to make a proper appraisal of basses, amps or effects pedals on YouTube for many reasons - not least the variable quality of the end-users' monitoring equipment - but SolidGold's effort is very creditable. They've got their marketing well sorted. And in my opinion if they've taken the time and trouble to produce a decent product vid, I tend to suspect that they have taken time and trouble with their product, too. Illogical of course, but you can see how that works. [/quote] +1 to all of this! Si

Subscribe to the Prymaxe email list, they're always doing 15 or 20% off site-wide. My Beta cost about £88 all in! Took a week to arrive Si

I'd say the COG '66', or checkout the SolidGold FX Beta, very cool, although it does lose a tiny bit of the highs. Both awesome pedals though Si

Yeah DD-7 is digital but has an analogue (DM-2) emulation. I'm assuming DM-2w is exactly the same circuitry as the original , as you say, seems to be how they've marketed it. But they have added another mode.....so the circuitry is different.....so could sound different We'll see Si

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1405577535' post='2503136'] I am all over the DM-2W! the DM-2 is a superb pedal, I wonder if this will have the bass whammy effect on the originals? [/quote] Possibly, although Boss have tried to emulate the DM-2 on the DD-7 before.....and failed.....so unless the new DM-2w completely nails the original sound, I think the original will stay in the high price range. Also remember that there are a LOT of DM-2 clones, but people still go back to the original Si

The DM-2 is the most interesting one in there for me. I don't think they'll do the OC-2 anytime soon, but maybe older ones like the VB-2 or SG-1 perhaps Si
