    Hi all I list this as it needs some repair work, and I don't have the time to be able to do it. This is the well known John East Uni Pre, 4 knob version. I bought it on here second-hand but only recently used it, and it seems to have some issues. Volume, bass/treble, and passive tone all work fine. Active-passive switch fine. The system sounds good, and you can tweak the bass EQ and treble shelf easily using the internal thumb wheels. That's the good part. The mid pots work, but it sounds more like a Wal-style filter EQ in use. This is not how it's meant to sound, and I ended up simply disabling the whole mid module by setting the jumpers appropriately on the board. It probably needs a new mid module. Once everything was wired up, I found it was eating through batteries. That may have been my own cack-handedness in wiring up somewhere, or it may be there's a connection somewhere leading to it being 'always on'. I can't tell, and I don't have time to spend troubleshooting it, so I simply removed it. These are £235 new and working, so I have heavily discounted it to allow for the time/part costs it needs for troubleshooting. £50 posted in the UK. Pete

    I’m not sure either! lol. John East would be able to answer…

    Is the the flat EQ version or the ‘gentle EQ curve built in’ version?

    I’m ready for your video, once you have made it…

    I had a shot at cloning a Wal. Did a whole series of videos…. Maybe just go to my last one!

    I like the title just fine. 😁

    I keep toying with getting an M-Vave Chocolate midi controller. Anyone care to give their opinion on it and/or the kit that comes with wireless midi?

    Ooh, another set of pickups for folks to try. Very interesting….what are the dimensions/format? What is the ‘formula’? - ceramic magnets, winds per coil, wire type and size, keepers, etc etc?

    Great basses. I love my one, the ebanol board sounds great with rounds. GLWTS

    Absolutely fine with me, it’s a useful and relevant part of the overall investigation into Wals.

    What is the significance of this Stas? I’m not quite as expert as you are at understanding the deeper electronics side of this…

    What stand is that? I'm very interested...

    Fair enough. We’re in the honeymoon stages of it and probably just going to use QR codes and the like for payment. Punters, well, people are people no matter where I go…

    It’s hard to tell how well damped/braced it is internally. But it works for busking, so I can’t complain. I still take out my best cab - yours! - for pub gigs though. Covers everything I need with plenty headroom to spare. Everyone asks me about it when I use it too!

    It's this one. https://amzn.eu/d/jdfMPtF 20,000 mAh. I nearly went for 30,000 but thought it overkill. I was right, at least for my usage.

    I actually wanted the Ripcord. But it was out of stock for the Stomp version, so I started looking at other solutions. The way I came up with was a bit more flexible (I can take the USB power supply off the board to recharge other USB devices) and it lasts for ages. I can do like 8 hours with no recharge. And I didn’t want to pay for the expensive name brand power supplies for my very modest needs.

    Yeah, I've got a cheap USB C cable in there hooking up to a MyVolts USB-C to 2.5mm 5v to 9v Step Up adapter. https://myvolts.co.uk/product/84651/myVolts_USB-C_PD_Step_Up_Tip_9V_c-ve_2.1mm_2.5mm Warning, the MyVolts adapter/USB cable needs to be plugged into the USB power supply first for it to negotiate the correct voltage, and then after that, plugged into the Stomp, for it to work. Had a horrible minute or two when I first hooked everything up and it didn't work, even though the USB brick I bought definitely can put out 5A current over USB-C (at 5V, I didn't quite appreciate the importance of this at first). But I worked out that 1) it's probably putting out closer to 3A at 9V, which is fine, so it should work, and 2) that I needed to let the components talk to other a bit to negotiate things (something here about QC and PD protocol compatibility, as MyVolts explain on their website). So it all worked out in the end.

    Ok, the Pedaltrain PB-2 was too small. Couldn’t fit the power supply underneath. However, the PB-3 was perfect for my modest needs. I stuck some rubber feet on the bottom and I’m good.

    What was the original piezo pickup used in the original clip by @Ramirez? Cheap or not, it's working... And is that the 3sigma IR?
  22. funkle
    I thought about it, but wondered if it might warp. I’ll see how the Pedaltrain booster idea goes first.
  23. funkle
    Right, the Pedaltrain PT PB-2 looks ideal - exactly the right size, the battery pack will fit underneath too - I'll velcro it on. I've just ordered one and some rubber feet too. It's also cheaper than the G Mini Bone. I'll report back once I try it out!

    Another good suggestion from @SamIAm - Gator G Mini Bone - https://gatorco.com/product/mini-bone-pedal-board-g-mini-bone/

    I’ll investigate. Thanks Martin!
