  1. [url="http://www.audiokinesis.com/product_ak_thunderchild115.html"]http://www.audiokinesis.com/product_ak_thunderchild115.html[/url] Yeah, but.....you know......$1000...... plastic corners! Si
  2. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1387809568' post='2315953'] Lol, still waiting to hear it with the band, as we've had to cancel all December gigs since the guitarist has had a weird epilepsy scare. [/quote] *Shelves the strobe-light pedal idea for another year* Hope he's all good! Si
  3. Or if you're feeling adventurous: [url="http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/mad-professor-blueberry.html"]http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/mad-professor-blueberry.html[/url] I know it's not a BJFE, but he won't build you one, you gotta look at alternatives huh Si
  4. Always worth asking the question directly though huh . You never know, he might build you one.....at a premium though I guess. Si
  5. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1387795284' post='2315637'] New Pedal Train Junior has allowed for a much cleaner set up. Noise floor is better all around too due to the patch cables and power cables not crossing paths so much. [/quote] You know I approve so hard! Si
  6. [quote name='=^..^=' timestamp='1387762172' post='2315445'] Ok - two signal paths, Line A EBS Bass Iq >> Boss Chorus Line B Deep Impact >> EBS Octbass >>EBS Multicomp (always on) >> Sansamp DI The black box at the back is to control the Mute and Sub on my Ashdown amp. Grey box back left is for the stage cable to/from the amp. Just realised how mucky the board is but those are the remnants of a lot of Pyros !! [/quote] How are you powering it all? Not from the LS-2 surely? Si
  7. I've just had a quick search and can't see any for sale at all :-P You might be able to contact Bjorn directly, if he's still hand-building for people?! Maybe keep an eye out over here: [url="http://www.bjfe.org/index.php"]http://www.bjfe.org/index.php[/url] Si
  8. Good luck finding a second-hand one! Mad Professor makes a more readily available 'production' run of the pedal, never tried one but people seem to like it. Fuzzrocious also do their take on it called 'Dark Driving' Si
  9. I had great results from the GGG Green Muff, I also added the AMZ Mid/body/presence control, which is great. Good place to start Si
  10. I can highly recommend the GGG Green Muff Clone to build Si
  11. [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1387675229' post='2314522'] 2. Use a heat sink when working with certain components, e.g. 1N34 diodes, as they don't like getting too hot. [/quote] Although I often socket diodes too! Do you know what Fuzz you want to build? Each circuit has inherent pitfalls really. Si
  12. [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1387483085' post='2312627'] I don't even particularly like muse!!! [/quote] Perhaps not, but distortion is fun! Si
  13. A Bass Muff Deluxe and a Lomenzo Drive a small pedalboard do not make lol Si
  14. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1387398901' post='2311621'] I also asked Tom to remove the silicon diodes, and put a three-way switch in to select between LEDs, asymmetric LEDs and no diodes (you'd love this Si! ;-)). [/quote] It's ALL about asymmetric LEDs Si
  15. [quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1387320274' post='2310782'] a Rat Tail's distortion isn't it? Do you have any experience with the darkglass vmt? [/quote] Distortion, overdrive, the only real difference is saturation. I've only played the B7K, and I wouldn't hurry back to it, but the VMT is meant to be more warm and 'tube-like'....hence the name I guess. Si
  16. I have to say, blasphemous, but I don't get on with the B3K or B7K, like you say, very metallic and not too warm......or natural sounding to my ears. All harmonic distortion and no meat (without using a blend). Gimme my Rat Tail any day Si
  17. Yeah Thuminator is everything below 30hz, don't think I'd want to cut any higher than that tbh, cutting at 50hz you're going to be losing from the E string which I thought sat around 41hz Si
  18. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1387208026' post='2309349'] Joe's pedals have a used MD-2 for sale [url="http://www.joespedals.com/acatalog/Boss_Mega_Distortion.html"]http://www.joespedal...Distortion.html[/url] £35! Bargain... [/quote] Used to be mine, so its the one in that video/audio test Si
  19. Bare in mind that the LPB-1 is essentially a clean boost, it will only work as an overdrive if it's driving a tube amp (which you might be running of course), you don't want to clip your solid-state amp :-/ If you're on a budget, I can confirm that the Boss MD-2 is cool, more than enough bottom end on tap, I much preferred it over the ODB-3, especially in the band mix. In fact, have an oolldddd comparison vid I did: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pimHiDdNl34[/media] For all three 8-bar riffs the sequence is: Clean - ODB-3 - MD-2 (so ignore the picture) As above, I've also heard good things about the Hardwire CM-2. The Bad Monkey is cool, basically a tube-screamer, however often requires a mod to get enough bottom-end through. Si
  20. Yes I would stay away from the ODB-3. More fizzy buzz than anything IMO. If you're handy with a soldering iron, why not consider putting something together yourself. Check out pedalparts.co.uk , full kits galore Si
  21. Interested in an MXR Gate as a trade? Cheers Si
  22. [quote name='patrikmarky' timestamp='1386871521' post='2305791'] I hit all the right notes..sounds great on the intro but I do get lost in the mix once the other guys kick in...im finding a big muff with some octave seems to be giving the best results..though I also agree im probably making a to bigger deal as I dont think the punters really give a f***!.. [/quote] Remember most stock Muffs have a mid cut. If you can find a Muff/fuzz with a flat mid response, or better yet a mid controlled, you'll have a better time of it . It's fairly easy to mod stock Muffs with the above. Si
  23. Don't get me wrong, we (perhaps) jest about their religion, but he always seems like a lovely guy, knowledgable, helpful and I certainly wouldn't judge him for his beliefs. If anything, he's a bit of a personal bass hero. Noice Si
  24. [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1386855784' post='2305395'] Lots of good points raised by bob and si. Forums introduced me to the xotic BB preamp and the wren an cuff TFR, which i'd never have found out about at PMT, so for that and that alone, it's worth sifting through all the annoying fanboi-ism However, i am annoyed to hear JMJ may be one of those tom cruise madmen... My diabolik is now tarnished, and i'm yet to use it yet!! [/quote] I agree, forums, the same as any community, can be worthshile fountains of knowledge. However one must always keep perspective and trust ones own ears! I think a number of the Beck lot are 'Science Science' oddbods Si
  25. Bump Si
