  1. Really? I run mine pretty low gain?! Looking for any trades? Si
  2. I'm not saying you wouldn't hear something different through a tiny amp......but you certainly aren't hearing what the pedal is built for. Have fun and be careful Si
  3. [quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1366802636' post='2057511'] I ask because I picked one up last night. Makes my 10w practice amp sound like a beast!!! and far more punchy! [/quote] *face:palm* The pedal puts out an octave lower boosted at 30hz........you won't hear that via a 100w practice amp let alone a 10w. It shouldn't hurt pedals, it may make them spaz out in a good way, feeding them a LOT more lowend than your bass will, but it's speakers that often have issues. Amps will need decent headroom to not clip Si
  4. Yup I've got a couple and working on a clone (headache) Definitly use last in chain, it has a dry and wet out, dry out to your amp, wet out to DI/PA, as mentioned above There are plenty of people who just use the wet out to their amp as normal, but I don't think I could relax in that situation, I'd be waiting for the big bang Good luck Si
  5. Hi guys, You may have read my interview with Liam Wilson of Dillinger Escape Plan, well there's a lot more over at:[u][color=#000000] [/color][url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/"]http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/[/url][/u] The latest is with the bassist for upcoming UK band Arcane Roots, latest single here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH9v6N0qNs0[/media] If you haven't visited before, or at all, then you'll also find the above mentioned great read from Liam Wilson, as well as: Brian Cook - Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes, Botch Gabe Nelson - Cake Jim Creeggan - Barenaked Ladies Owen Biddle - The Roots, Mr Barrington Michael Vinne - Wallis Bird Let me know what you think Cheers Si
  6. Hi guys, Thought I'd post here as you are probably the target audience Please take a look over here: http://circuitstocurecancer.com/ This is an initiative of pedal builders from around the world who have donated their wares for Cancer research. All the pedals are in eBay under their seller ID. Take a look. Great pedals, great cause Cheers Si
  7. Bump, tidied the thread up a bit Si
  8. [quote name='thumbo' timestamp='1366106991' post='2048282'] I wasn't going to go for the germanium diodes until we talked about the Stache but I'm glad I did The colour is actually pink sparkle, I wanted something a bit outlandish for my board, under brighter lights it looks really pink but under lower light it looks quite red. [/quote] Yeah the Germaniums are such a great classic sound, my Stache has Germs/LEDs/asymmetric LEDs. I'm also use the asymmetric LEDs, huge sounding.....although obviously sacrificed the 'no diodes' setting with these options. Also using the LEDs setting on my Rat Tail, must just be my thing Si
  9. Please let me know if the sale falls through Si
  10. From Joe's or direct? Feedback switch? Si
  11. [quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1365706193' post='2043340'] It seemed like the most sensible thing to do. Those Daka-Ware knobs look cool but being all-black against an all-black pedal makes reading settings at a gig impossible. [/quote] Couldn't agree more, Davis knobs on for mine! Si
  12. A good way of getting around the P/J issue is to have a Jazz humbucker (Dimarzio UltraJazz for example) in the bridge position, this evens it out slightly with the P pickup. This is what I've had done in my P/J fretless Si
  13. [quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1365628860' post='2042182'] [/quote] Ah you changed the knobs on your BB too, good call SI
  14. Bump for Tourman pics Cheers Si
  15. Very cool Si
  16. Any requests from the following? 03/04 USA Fender Jazz 09 USA Fender Jazz 5 1973 Jazz 1971 Precision Fender/BassDoc P/J fretless Barefaced Compacts and/or Midget Pedals......a lot of pedals What are the seminars? Si
  17. I really wish I could line up everyone's rig and hear the OC-2 'sounding like a mess down low' . I really don't have that issue at all, feed it a bass heavy, round signal, and it tracks perfectly well down to an A, in my experience, lower if your attack is considered (don't choke the note). The glitching is from buzzy notes not tracking etc Si
  18. Get all yo' Fuzzrocious gumf into the porn thread! Si
  19. [quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1365060750' post='2034601'] In all honesty, I thought It'd make a good octave with the distortion/fuzz. But it's just there for some mental noises - it makes the b7k and syb go mental and glitch to hell. Still tempted to get rid of it and get something else there. It is indeed a stache! Demented fuzz! Got it blended with the distortion of the b7k, so get the nice click type sound with a wall of fuzz! [/quote] Sweet, check out the Earthquaker Devices Organizer for some cool Octave up/down sounds, you can lag the effect too, which can sound pretty mental with distortion & fuzz. Si
  20. [quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1364997123' post='2033840'] Cabled mine up to a Trex board the other day. Pretty chuffed - just need to adjust a few cables [attachment=131721:IMG_0362.JPG] [/quote] Great board, although not heard great sounds from those Mooer octaves, how do you find it? Is that a Stache? Get it in the Fuzzrocious porn thread in 'Effects' Si
  21. Bump for possible Line 6 DL-4 & Diago Tourman? Tourman = £80 collected Any interest in the DL-4? Boxed with mains adapter and power 1-spot block adapter Si
  22. [quote name='chrisma' timestamp='1364848103' post='2031763'] This is my (disassembled) board and bits. [attachment=131516:Bass stuff 1 low.jpg] I make sounds like this if you're interested: [url="https://soundcloud.com/chris-mapp/sets/solo"]https://soundcloud.c...-mapp/sets/solo[/url] [/quote] Sell me that Rainbow Machine! Si
  23. Totally agreed, if you haven't got an amp that is going to fairly represent the sub that the OC-2 kicks out, you may perceive that as a volume drop. Your ears expect to hear the mids of the direct signal, so when you take that away, and perhaps miss all the lows its kicking out, it could leave you wanting. Si
  24. I tried one for a very short period of time, I use an OC-2 a lot regardless of the genre and wasn't overly keen on how it affected its tone. I'd like to have a bit more time experimenting, but not in a huge rush Si
  25. Yeah I run the Octave 2 full off and Octave 1 full on. The direct signal depends on the gig, standard pop/rock gigs I run it at about 3 or 4 o'clock. If something a bit more dub/synth is required, full off, mmmmmmm . If you have an older Octaver OC-2 (note the additional 'R'), they did have a small gain drop. The newer Octave OC-2 should be pretty much unity. Si
