  1. They do '62 & '75 models as P/J configurations!!! Si
  2. Stuart is a great guy, I know him very well. But for this, I'd be more inclined to go to Andy Viccars in MK. Si
  3. Have to say, I'm pretty happy with the experience now I have my DL-4 back. I was a little grumpy that they didn't sort the (very minor as it turns out) switch issue, even after I bought it up, but I fixed that myself after some Google help in 10 seconds. £50, 5-day turnaround, they sent the pedal back in a DL-4 box with manual (where there wasn't one before), nice people on the phone. Cool Si
  4. Just for anyones future info, the issue was literally just that the nut was loose on the switch. Tightened it up and the switch works just fine! Si
  5. You could perhaps look at a preamp to help your P-bass, but to he honest, effects pedals are for augmentation, not for building a core sound (IMO). You need a decent core tone that you're happy with to then start building pedals on top to add 'interest' (if it's needed/wanted). If you want a stingray sound.....buy a stingray. Si
  6. Awesome pedals, tube-like drive to full distortion. Si
  7. [quote name='SimonEdward' timestamp='1357943043' post='1931023'] Hi! [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]So.. it's Friday night and I've been for a noodle with my new board set up for 2013.. powered by the Carl Martin pro power.. It's been loadsa fun putting this board together (Pedaltrain 2) over the last 6-months, and [/font][/size][color=#333333][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]almost everything, except the H.O.F, is used/second-hand mainly from on-line auctions.. or given away free *TC Corona Chorus* as part of the promotion for the BH250. There are no passengers and everything is used - but not all at the same time.[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The chain is; GP12XV preamp > Polytune > EQ-20 > OC-2 > Octave deluxe > MXR Auto Q > Corona > Vortex > H.O.F > Nova Dynamics > BBE Sonic Stomp[/font][/color][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/font] .. still have GAS for Source Audio SA170 programmable EQ, TC flashback delay, BOSS LS-2 and the MXR M87 compressor.. the Nova Dynamics and EQ-20 eat some serious Ma (600+ between them) and leave a large footprint.. so we'll see what 2013 turns up! [/quote] Get yourself a Gigrig Generator, 5amps of power, never worry about ma ratings again lol Si

    It's the standard Mad Beans Slow Lorris, so it's essentially a Rat (LM308) with the Ruetz mod (a frequency clipping sweep) and diode selection (diodes/none/leds). Should be cool, looking forward to the Egghead (Clark Gainster) and the Green Russian Muff kit to Si
  9. Great, thanks for the info Si
  10. There's a bunch of information relating to just lubing it up, making sure the nut is tight etc. I could replace the switches obviously. Annoyingly it's just come back from the Line6 repair department as the DSP chip and gone kaput, I bought up the switch issue but they reckoned it was all working fine.....its not. booo Si
  11. Has anyone had a DL-4 (or another in the modelling range) that has sticky footswitches, essentially unresponsive switches that take a number of stomps before they engage. Any fixes? Cheers Si

    Just a couple of Mad Beans PCBs I'm working on: [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/kf398n.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/zklmag.jpg[/IMG] Si
  13. I love that their opening gambit is: "Ditto Looper is the looper you try once and love for life and you’ve simply got to try it! TC has taken all that is good about loopers, [b]trimmed away all the non-essential, mood-killing tech hoopla [/b]and ended up with a looper that is intuitive, tons of fun, sounds great and doesn’t break the bank" This is from TC who bought us the Flasback x4 recently lol Si
  14. Yeah stacking distortions is very common, but obviously you're adding gain to gain, so you have to be careful of your signal level, you could simply be pushing your amp a bit hard. Pull the levels of the two pedals back a bit. Si

    Sure, thanks for the info, I'll be working from the GGG Green Russian schem when the PCB arrives, and also from this Mids mod: http://rkerkhof.ruhosting.nl/Taas/Mods/Big%20Muff.htm Is that a 25k log or Lin pot? Cheers Si

    What type of pot might I use for a mids control on a muff clone? Cheers Si
  18. Always buy music that I genuinely love, its a basic show of respect for an artist! If I'm learning a song, Youtube...simples SI
  19. Yeah I just get the rolls of heavy duty from John Lewis or B&Q. I prefer heavy duty as my pedal board gets picked up on its side, if you're picking up flat all the time (small board), standard should suffice. Cheers Si
  20. Re-jiggled my 'utility' board a bit [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/jfi7ph.jpg[/IMG] Si
  21. I'm also using passive Jazz/Precision combos and really didn't like the Streamliner (not even mentioning the 3 different volume knobs). As someone also said, I quickly went back to my Markbass, which I pretty much run 'all at 12', apart from the VPF/VLE which get run about 8oclock or 9oclock Si
  22. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1357109477' post='1917508'] I couldn't get a sound I liked with the Streamliner. Too big down low, to unfocusedd in the mids. [/quote] This for me too! Even with my Barefaced......my Markbass LMII does the trick no issue though Si
  23. Ant on here has one on pre-order already Si
  24. [quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1357117481' post='1917564'] I think my tu3 can supply up to 7 boss pedals? [/quote] It depends on the ma rating of those 7 pedals. Generally speaking, you can treat milliamps like amp wattage headroom, you want more than you need. I would want my power supply to not be running over half capacity, so say the Boss tuner can supply 200ma, and you have 7 pedals that total 170ma, you're going to probably start hearing some excess noise and perhaps some sag with regards to the actual effects. In your case, if you have 7 Boss pedals that add up to 90ma (Check Boss Area for the ratings), you're fine. Cheers Si
