    New TC mini pedals

    [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1401485333' post='2464225'] Problem with the feature is you can't correct the tempo while playing. So say you set it to your drummer, then start playing. Inevitably it will go off-sync. With normal tap tempo you can keep correcting it as you play, with this feature you can't because it mutes you (unless you have some pauses in your playing along the way). [/quote] Yeah, thought there might be a downside I still might take a look at one, but not in a massive hurry, my DM-3 is doing a fine job currently. Si
  2. Well theres two transistors there, not opamps. I don't think the Animato has been de-boxed from a DIY perspective, I can't see a schematic on a real quick Google search. There are a few clones floating around, however how close these are to the original I don't know. Si
  3. There are people here who already own one, however if mine comes before they can do a demo, I'll get one up asap Si
  4. I don't suppose anyone is bringing a 3Leaf Audio Enabler that I can borrow for the day? I'm using mine on the FX stand, but would be cool to have two on the go Si

    Octaver?

    OC-3 doesn't have an octave up, but it does has a fairly poor fuzz/drive option :-/ I don't get people's problem with the OC-2 tracking, I often successfully have it tracking down to A at gigs. With a P-bass though, so nice and solid, round input. Si
  6. Just remember that the OC-3 doesn't sound like the OC-2 at all. Do yourself a favour and just buy the OC-2 Si

    New TC mini pedals

    Very interested in the mini flashback. Anyone have experience of the audio-tap function? Works well? Si
  8. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1401120201' post='2460253'] How come you put the tuner at the end Si? [/quote] It ensures that you completely cut any signal to your amp. Tuner first cuts signal to your pedals, but if there's any noise or hum generated by your pedals, that'll still go to your amp. The only issue with tuner at the end is if you have a lot of effects 'always on', you might not get a great note for the tuner to track. But with a small setup like this, not an issue. Si
  9. Used this over the weekend for a festival show: [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/apbs6d.jpg[/IMG] Fromel modded Boss CE-2B -> Blakemore Deus Ex Machina -> DOD FX-10 Bi-Fet Pre -> Boss OC-2 -> Boss TU-2 Si

    Octaver?

    Mines got a special loop Si
  11. Won the Pitch Bay :-D Si

    Octaver?

    I don't think you want the Organizer, it's a bit more specialised, it has lag control and does +2 & -2 as well. Look at the EHX POG or the COG T-65, definitely look at the latter.....currently waiting on mine Si

    Octaver?

    Earthquaker Devices make the Organizer, very cool pedal! Always buy Octavers, up, down, whatever....they're great :-D Si

    Octaver?

    Remember that it's not always necessary to fill a sonic space. Whilst I use some of the above techniques in my trio setup, sometimes it's just nice to hear the guitar solo breathe a bit. Don't always assume if there's a space, you fill it, judge it on a case by case basis. A classic case of "leave some holes, some music might fall out" Don't believe? Watch Pino with John Mayer trio, loads of space, he nails it. Si

    Octaver?

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1400879744' post='2457935'] I have seven effects on my board and three of them are OC-2s. [/quote] Good lad Si
  16. I'm watching a few Si
  17. [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1400346689' post='2453126'] Here is my 1996 Japanese Precision in Shell Pink. Since i last posted it's photo in this thread it has had: a Bass Doc pickguard, a Fender CS pickup, CTS pots, US control knobs fitted and a bridge cover. It also has 55-100 Fender flats. [attachment=162923:pinky1.jpg] [attachment=162924:pinky2.jpg] [attachment=162925:pinky3.jpg] [/quote] Lovely bass, but if I've said it once, I've said it once or twice.....custom colours look wrooooong with Tort pick guards!

    DIY Effects

    Handy tip: Frustrated with trying to solder single pin sockets? Have your third hand hold your PCB with one clip, then place your socket on a discarded snipped component leg, and have that secured in the second clip. Lovely [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/4gpzkk.jpg[/IMG] Si
  19. I've not tried it, but the Earthquaker Devices Warden get some very favourable reviews. But the MXR is probably the industry's 'favourite' at the mo Si
  20. One of my favourite bass players of all time Si
  21. Get one of these: http://www.gak.co.uk/en/visual-sound-3.5mm-converter/31273 And just use a standard 9v centre negative supply Simples Si
  22. Update posted to CTCC Facebook: [i]"I finally have an update for everyone. As of this point, roughly $20,000 worth of pedals have been paid for. I'm still waiting on payment for 34 more that are over $6,000. On top of that, Reverb has offered to donate an additional $5,000 to support the cause. This gives us a very rough estimate of ~$31,000 for the year to donate to St. Jude's![/i] [i]That said, a few people have graciously offered to re-list their pedals later in the week to see if we can raise even more money on those, since the auctions were cut short. I'll keep you updated on that. Again, thank you so much to those who donated, and those who won! Congrats on your new toys, and we want clips when your pedals arrive!"[/i] So I'll be looking out for the re-auctioned pedals haha Si
  23. Confirmed from Blakemore: There was a fault and all the auctions ended early, what a shame as I imagine a lot of the prices would have gone up near the end. He's looking into it and waiting for Reverb.com to give an explanation. Si
  24. I think it's right as nobody seems to think its weird on Talkbass. Yeah next year Si
