The sounds that Behringer pedals make are generally good, for example, as mentioned previously, the Ultra Vibrato does a very good impression of a Boss VB-2. Don't get me wrong, my VB-2 sounds better than the Behringer, whilst being a typical indestructible Boss pedal, but the Behringer certainly holds its own sonically. My problem with Behringer pedals aren't the sounds, it's not even really the plastic enclosures (although not really an excuse for them, ask Mooer & Joyo), but it's actually the switch, it feels weak and if it wasn't for the LED, barely feels like you've switched anything. Horrible. Si

Hmmmm, for me USA Fenders are out, generally yuk in 1983. So I'd like a JV P or J at some point (yes I know there are a couple in the FS ) Other than that a Pre EB Stingray, or possibly a Yamaha BB Si

£45 for priority seats?! :-O Blimey Si

OH man, and Deantoni Parks on drums too!! Si

Hopefully they'll have a lot more stock come mid-december and this won't become an ongoing problem. They do seem to have reduced the available stock on the website to reflect those out of stock Si

I ordered them for my guitarist friend, but gave them a quick whirl when they arrived, also had a Orange Ninety (The Phase90 copy) come from eBay (new for £30). They're all great to be fair, Green Mile has better low-end retention than the Hustle Drive I had previously, although only in the Warm setting, nice tube screamer-esque overdrive. The Ana Echo is cool, although not quite as sweet as my DM-3 or my guitarists DM-2 (slightly unfair comparison perhaps), decent analogue delay though! The Phaser was my fave though, really nice tone, not many options, like the Phase90, but sounds great!! Si

Eugh, ODB-3 . You might roll off the fizzle, but I just didn't find any decent grind/texture in the low-end whatsoever. It's worth just trying as much as you possibly can....in a gig setting, playing in your room or a shop doesn't tell you anything about how a pedal (or anything) sits in a mix!. You might love something that we hate and vice-versa. Another random suggestion is a Bogdan Polish Love, excellent low-end retention, but slightly more 'Fuzz' than 'Distortion' Si

I would certainly consider a multi-fx during this period of 'not knowing what you want/need'. There are some great pedals to be had second hand for only a little more than your budget. Boss ME-50B's often sell for around £80-90, and that's more than 20 different, good quality, effects easily. The Line6 M5 gets awesome reviews, Zoom stuff is coming back up. Good luck Si

Green Mile & Ana Echo arrived yesterday, think they took around 10 or 11 days Si

Haha, let me know if you order one Ryan and family are great to deal with! Si

I'm a big advocate of the Xotic BB Preamp. I have one as well as a clone, they're both awesome, although I favour the clone slightly. For most people the Darkglass B3K is the best distortion around, it's probably also the most expensive (for what it is). Definitly also check out the Fuzzrocious offerings, the Oh See Demon is probably the most similar to the BB Pre circuit, being based on a hyped up OCD circuit. Their Rat Tail is also great, obviously based on a Rat but voiced more for bass with loads of features. Si

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1353273011' post='1873192'] Yeah, I see this as a downside, unfortunately. I think I will miss the banter, particularly the 'I've got one of those'/'I've always gassed for one of those'/'have a bump on me' variety. Unless people start using the 'questions' for that kind of chat of course [/quote] While I felt the same initially, my hope is that this enthusiasm will simply carry over into discussion on the rest of the forum. Like that Chorus pedal for sale? talk about it in the Effects forum. Always wanted that Ritter bass for sale, talk about that in the Bass section... etc Si

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1353011432' post='1870573'] Cheers guys, off to do research! Some good suggestions in here. Sibob, is that the Bass BB Pre or the Guitar version? Lefrash, is that the Joyo JF12? Green thing with a goat on the front! Paul, good tip, already started tying up my fingers and knackered brain with that! Ray, I've always fancied an eight string. But I'm very much a fingerstyle guy, do you need to use a pick to get that 8 string sound? Thanks again. [/quote] I have the Xotic Bass BB Preamp, although I mostly use my Sonic Kitchen clone. Don't be too keen on filling every sonic gap you can find, sometimes the gaps are nice Si

I run my OC-2 into my BB Preamp overdrive quite regularly, sounds great! Get experimenting Si

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1352979439' post='1870004'] i have a hustle drive and shimverb. Both are very nice pedals, no low end loss and sit well in a mix. Im looking forward to the pure octave, and the filter pedal coming out. for the money, they represent great value for money [/quote] I had the Hustle Drive and found there to be considerable low end loss, really nice sounding pedal, but even with the tone rolled all the way down, too much bass loss for me. But then I'm using a P into a 15 lol. Si

I quite like it......in a "f*#$-you audience" kind of way I bet Fodera were laughing every minute they made this one! Si

I think Behringer kind of have to raise their game a bit when you look at brands like Mooer. Similar effects, some cool ideas, well made metal enclosures, similar price point. Si

[quote name='deaver' timestamp='1351786340' post='1855401'] Time for me to play 2001 US Standard in Sky Blue, one of a number I've had off Clarky over the years My 1986 MIJ to follow when I get time... [/quote] This is fit!! Si

I've always quite fancied a Precision with a single Dark Star, and so....... ......Colour me interested fo sho!! Si

My Boss CE-2B is still the nicest Chorus I've tried. It has the Frommel mod, so it's tonal options are even wider. Si

Yes, any polyphonic pitch/octave pedals that let you go both up and down will get you there. I use the Earthquaker Devices Organizer, has a lag function too Si
