Got two vintage MIJ Yamaha pedals knocking around - a chorus and a compressor (CO-10M II & CH-10M II) that ill be looking to sell soon but am struggling with the prices. The compressor seems to go for around £20-£30 but the chorus is really confusing me. Prices of sold items on ebay and other websites vary from £30 right up to £80!! Normally id stick it on ebay and see what an auction fetches but Im looking to stay away from ebay after a few recent issues so looking to sell on here. Cant remember what I paid for them so where do I get a reasonable ballpark figure to advertise at?

Ant bought my Dimarzio DP122's in an effortlessly smooth transaction. No worries here

Yup, that's what keeps it interesting I guess. One mans warm is another mans muddy, one mans clarity is anothers mans brittle.

[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I love their amps having tried everything from a MAG300 through to the DP200h (I particularly loved their dual tube spyder series).[/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]On the other hand I just cant get on with their cabs at all. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Again I’ve tried everything from the MAG range through to VS series right up to their CL series.[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]They just sound a bit ‘weak’ for want of a better word[/color][/size][/font]

Had mine strung with Pyramid flats and the tone was immense!

Just took a custom set (ordered with no silks) of Pyramids off my P Bass, bit to thumpy for me with no enough growl. At the moment im back on Elites but will be ordering some DR's soon

Yup, thought as much. Been a long term user of their flats but recent sets are clearly different (now have silk ends, different materials by the looks). Shame, there old flats were magic

Picked up one of these beats on the cheap for a bit of a play and am wholly impressed! Its a 12AX7 mains powered overdrive pedal that has high/low options which makes it fine for bass with no low end loss. Initially swaped out the valve for a 12AU7 to tame it a bit and it works wonders. Definitely more on the distortion side than mild OD but very useful none the less. Tried to do a bit of reading up on these but there isn't much around. Anyone on here also using one??

Possibly but I have been CLOSE to the sound but just not quite. Part of me thinks I didn't give the Pyramids long enough. They ticked every box bar the thump but then I read forum posts where people say they were TOO thump!

[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Its been a long flatwound quest for me. Im starting to think the sound im after maybe doesn’t exist![/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Basically I want thumpy but with SOME sustain, not just thud. The tension needs to be reasonable (not talking TI flop but not cables either). I play with a pic 99% of the time and suffer from thumb ache on my picking hand, maybe down to technique but I don’t get it on lower tension strings.
