    I’ve decided to go down the HX Effects route so pretty much everything on the board - plus the board itself - is up for sale. Prices include UK Mainland delivery. All pedals naturally have velcro on the bottom, also see specific notes by each item in the list for any other info. If you want more pics of any of them please just ask. The Barefaced Machinist, Line 6 G30 and Swiff tuner are NOT for sale. Edit to add - the only trades I’d consider are a Line 6 Expression pedal, a Laney Digbeth preamp or a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Ta 🤘🏻 Ashdown OriginAL preamp/DI - sold Supplied with original box signed by Norman Watt-Roy MXR Bass Compressor - sold No box, great little compressor if you’re new to it (like wot I are) Emma Electronic Okto Nojs - sold Wonderful pedal which makes some cool octave and weird synthy noises. With original box. AMT Bass Wah - sold Good fun, micro wah pedal. With original box. TC Electronics Corona Chorus - £45 No box Warwick Rockboard ISO Power brick - £70 Plus all the various cables which came with it and others I bought to suit the board Tourtech pedalboard and gigbag - £40 Velcroed on top for the pedals and underneath for the PSU. Can supply additional velcro if required. Missing the black plugs for the holes on the rear. Mooer pedal toppers x10 - £2 for the lot Or free if you buy one of the pedals and want them

    Haken are f-ing marvellous. I’ll have a listen to the others on your list - cheers 👍🏻🤘🏻👌🏻

    I’ve been on a quest recently to find a small-footprint ~100W valve amp. Along the lines of Handbox, there’s also Rheingold and PureTone (both in the super boutique several£k price range) or HotAmps which come in a bit lower. In the end though, the last two gigs I did with my Class D Glockenklang reminded me quite how special that thing is. I can make it sound gnarly with the (very nicely voiced) built-in drive or make it super clean and crisp, plus of course anything and everything in between. It will go louder and stay cleaner far longer than a valve amp when I need it, or can break up and give me all the warmth. In the onstage mix I think I’d be very hard pushed to tell the difference, though I’d love to be proven wrong on that just to cause my bank balance some serious trouble (the PureTone Offset XL is whispering sweet nothings at me…) So, I guess my point is there are solutions out there. Another consideration would be a valve preamp pedal - EBS Valve Drive, Ashdown OriginAL, Markbass Vintage etc. in the grand scheme of things they aren’t the same of course but as @BassmanPaul attests you can get close.

    Oh hello, that looks to be perfect thank you 😊
  6. Merton
    Tbh I think I’ll just use two different PSUs and an extension lead - cheaper than a new supply 😃
  7. Merton
    Cheers - that’s the Stomp rather than Effects and I’ve convinced myself I read somewhere that the Stomp is less power hungry 😅 This thread suggests I need 2A for start up…: https://line6.com/support/topic/37195-hx-effects-what-is-the-maximum-power-draw/ edit- more useful info from Line6 for anyone who’s interested: https://line6.com/support/topic/32249-helix-hx-power-supply-woes/

    Nom nom nom

    The manual is stinky poo 😂 The Effects is labelled up as 3A and I’ve googled it and come up with various different answers but most of which suggest needing 2A, and some which suggest the Stomp is less power hungry. All a bit confusing hence asking 🙂 Thanks for your help - certainly making me think there is light at the end of the tunnel! Might phone Andertons tomorrow and see what they reckon…

    Nice one cheers - so two 660mA sockets are doing the job for you then? Good to know - don’t want to fry a PSU haha
  11. Merton
    I think it cost me £49 from Andertons
  12. Merton
    Interesting - the specs for that seem to state a max 660mA supply per socket… yet Line 6 say the HX Effects needs a 3A supply… I take it you’ve never had a problem? EDIT - or do you use a current doubler or something across two or more outputs?
  13. Merton
    Here you go - hopefully makes it a bit clearer
  14. Merton
    Hey all, New HX Effects owner here, having great fun with it! Question though - how are you all powering yours? I note is has a thirsty current consumption and most staked multi-PSUs don’t get close. I was hoping to power this (min 2A) and my G30 (150mA absolute max) from one supply - tried daisy chaining from the one supplied with the HX but it’s hella noisy… any other ideas or do I need to suck it up that I’ll need two PSUs?
  15. Merton
    Not too bad. Certainly a lot better than the TGI bag @dmc79has. Will get a pic a bit later

    PS - I have the Gator gigbag designed for a Jazzmaster and it’s perfect for both my shorties
  17. Merton
    Yep. Learnt this the hard way….
  18. Merton
    Oooft. My ideal MM shortie. Whoever gets this will be on my hit list 😃

    Absolutely agree in terms of the massive supermarkets, oil companies etc. The petrol prices beggar belief for example. I suspect Barefaced just wouldn’t have been able to survive without these price increases though; more a labour of love than a way to a quick million.

    They weren’t the first and won’t be the last to do this. It’s sadly the current state of the world. They are still (imo) fantastic cabs and worth the money if you can afford them. If you can’t afford them or don’t think they’re fantastic, the price rise doesn’t matter
  22. Merton
    If you like the 15” NEO, get another one.

    Bought an HX Effects from Christian, lovely guy who drove to meet me halfway and insisted on me checking the box had everything in it (clue: it did!). Great guy to deal with

    Show us your rig!

    Merton replied to ped's topic in Gear Gallery

    Yesterday’s rig. Bloody marvellous. I’ve been having valve amp pangs recently but using this over the course of 4 sets yesterday reminded me that I have much, much better gear than my talent deserves, and really don’t need glowing glass tubes.
