Haha... that ought to be added to the IEM megathread.

That'll be 5 minutes of my Friday evening accounted for then...

Great thinking @LukeFRC! I wonder if an analog delay would do the job. Setting the feedback quite high and increasing delay time might get you most of the way there. I don't remember a note being repeated at the end when messing around with this in the past.

The PBM looks good. Interestingly the description suggests there's a line input but I can only see an instrument input in the pictures.

Having been on a bit of a jazz bender for months, I've just been shaken out of it by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs!

I just had a quick play with the EHX Bass Mono Synth but there wasn't really a slowing down effect in there. Lots of menacing/sci-fi sounds possible once you get an expression pedal involved... should the need ever arise.

I strongly recommend going to see them live! Super fun, and seriously tight!

I was going to suggest the Boss XS-100/XS-1 but then checked the price... similarly spendy as the above. I'd have to check but the EHX Mono Bass Synth might do something that fits the bill when paired with an expression pedal.

How upright? There are vans which get close to tall enough. E.g. Fiat Ducato/Citroen Relay in H3 format is 2.17 m max load height. Loading the basses with a slight lean this may be tall enough.

Could you please add a reflex test to the great OC5 latency investigation meetup @pantherairsoft, @thisisswanbon? The one where you catch a ruler as it is dropped through your fingers should do it.

If I offer $1, am I likely to get stung for $49k shipping costs?

That's quite the list @LukeFRC! I might have to do some digging into some of those. In case you hadn't seen it, Five Cats Pedals do a JPTR Jive clone PCB. I previously built up their SHO clone and added my own diodes to emulate the Jive, but they released this fairly recently: https://www.five-cats-pedals.co.uk/product/jive-by-shooter-jptr-fx-jive-clone/

Paging @0175westwood29!

Ooh, thanks for the heads up @paul_5! I can't believe this already has a veroboard layout. Good to hear it turned out well, and it's now on my build list for the new year!

Thanks for the info. I must have confused the 500 and 800 where this happens. I suppose it isn't much of an issue in real terms as you mention. Good to know though!

I read somewhere that the output volume of the DI on the Rumble 100 changes when changing the master volume level of the amp. And that it doesn't happen on the 500. Is this the case @Japhet, @casapete? I can't remember where I read this but it could be handy info if weighing up options.

Best purchase: (Not technically a purchase yet, but it's a foot in the door) Worst purchase: 70's Seamoon Funk Machine circuitboard clone. Enjoyed building it but I never managed to dial in a sound I liked. Ended up reusing the housing for my DIY Fuzzrocious Ram the Manparts stripboard build.

Is it good for metal?

The nano-sized ones are now on the EHX website for $122 USD. Wonder when we'll be able to get our hands on them. I've wanted an op-amp muff for a little while and this may be the one.

I think a nano-sized one will be announced today, based on the hype... The big box ones seem to be aimed at connoisseurs or collectors. Looks like ~6000 were made, with 300 of those in yellow for whatever 'Third Man Hardware' is.

This video just released from JHS. While the pedal sounds good, it's Bob Myer and his hoard of treasures I'm blown away by. Bob is one cool dude.

I signed up last year (received as a Christmas present) and feel it has helped my knowledge and general approach to music. I mentioned it earlier in the thread since it was the rhythm content which drew me in. There's not tonnes of bass guitar specific lessons, but I found I could transfer the principles to bass guitar. I have also recently started on the double bass, and it is really helpful for that! There's a lot of piano content in there for all sorts of levels. For what it's worth I've just signed up for another year at the base level membership.

Thanks for that video. Really clear explanations. I hadn't realised some of those rhythms had specific names but should make them easier to remember. I've been paying a lot more attention to rhythm lately, and found some great resources and exercises on Open Studio Jazz. Some examples... This one isn't delivered on bass but I got a lot out of it.

Got my head around it a bit better now, thanks!

@jimbobothy I've been thinking of a modular setup a bit like yours, but I've not yet figured out what to do in terms of power. Or where/how to insert each board in the signal chain. Interested to hear how you get on.
