  1. The Me-50b really does have some good sounds! If you don't mind the size of the pedal (i.e. you use more than the delay), stick with it if you're happy. If you want a really good digital delay in a small footprint, that has an alright analogue modelling setting for playing around with.....as well as a useable phrase looper....get the Boss DD-7 Si

    Here's the first Poultone clean boost prototype working nicely The Trooper Boost (artwork pending): [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/4zu7th.jpg[/IMG] Watch this space Si
  3. The photo when it arrives has to be with the bottle Si
  4. I've completely been turned onto short delays for soloing, completely lifted from Janek. It's a lot nicer to my ears than a Chorus for sure. Analogue seems better suited to that as the trails degrade in tone, to me this allows the original signal (your solo) to take precedence over the effect, whereas a really clean digital delay could take away from the original signal with its super clean repeats. However big 'ol soundscapes really benefit from long clean digital delay in my opinion, so yes, it depends on what you want to achieve really. Si
  5. Very cool, I'm always on the lookout for nice Singlecut 4 strings, not many about Need to sell/trade my Fender USA Jazz 5 first through Si
  6. Both of the above options are a good shout as they'll give you a good overview of different types of delay. I say this because there's no point getting an analogue delay, hating it and giving up, whereas all you needed was a good digital delay.....or vice versa. Once you know what you like, you can look at more specific units . My faves are the Boss DM-3, Akai Headrush E2, Line 6 DL-4 & Idiotbox Dimension X, but there are so many more! Si
  7. Pretty cool for the Nano, but a shame it doesn't have 5 outputs for the Mini users. You could daisy-chain off one of the outputs I guess, but at only 100ma per output, not a lot to play around with. Cool idea though Si
  8. [quote name='Mexicola' timestamp='1396392353' post='2413185'] Please tell me it was someone on here that ordered the Broke Dick Rat Tail they posted on Facebook earlier? So good. [/quote] That did look immense, it's going to sound BIG too! Si
  9. Just ordered the follow-up to my Knightfall '66' prototype. Spec finished (largely stock), Tom was so patient whilst we hashed my finicky details haha. edit: Artwork chosen Si
  10. 4 people interested is good enough for me Si
  11. I'd get an email fired off to Ryan asap whichever way, just to make sure he'll build it first haha Si
  12. hehe, I kinda like the slight misalignment.....gives it the human touch haha. If anyone wants a BDPG, I would email him asap, always worth asking about smaller enclosures, you never know what he's got hanging around Si
  13. Hi all, Just for those that are interested, Ryan is discontinuing the Broke Dick Peanut Gallery this Friday (28th). If anyone wants a very cool drive preamp that can go gnarly drive to dub, then this is for you. Email him direct for last minute custom orders Cool Si
  14. I kinda almost bought it, but I think Danny kinda fell in love with it again last minute haha Si
  15. Ooof, that is seriously nice!! Would like me a Singlecut 4 from Jon! Si
  16. Bump Si

    Slow Engine

    I'm pretty interested in this too. Meant to try one at MusikMesse but didn't get around to it. I had a Boss Slow Gear for a while, which wasn't good with bass at all, although my ME-50b has a Slow Gear patch, which is brilliant. So, perhaps opposite to what we normally want, I'm hoping the Mooer is a digital approximation of the original effect (like the ME-50b) and not a full clone of the Boss. Si
  18. Would anyone be interested in an 'FX Trying' area? If I was to bring a lot of pedals, setup a couple of headphone amps and people can chain a few bits together and try out? Or are people not fussed about effects in Herts? Si
  19. Glad you got hooked up with Scott! He's a great guy, with a crazy nice collection of old Fenders Your build looks brilliant! Nice one Si
  20. Great price! Si
  21. I was hoping to use the 21% discount to buy the Beta, but out of stock Si

    Excellent post Noir Si
  23. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1395356643' post='2401662'] The Japanese Boss OC-2 is a famous one; sounds exactly the same and made with the same components as the Taiwanese, yet people will bizarrely pay more. [/quote] [ geek ] Yes & no. The Japanese Octaver has a marginally different sound in that it has a slight dip in direct gain even at max blend, I actually prefer it in the mix, makes the octave pop a bit more. Whether one pays more money for that is a simple fiscal choice. But they 'fixed' that when the name changed to the Octave and you're right, no difference between Japanese Octave & Taiwanese Octave. [ /geek ]
  24. It's simply the case that people latch onto a change, be it a component change or a manufacturer location change etc. Whether the scarcity of the previous model causes the value to go up is usually a combination of who uses them and luck Si
