    Warwick GB7 tuners and decent replacements!

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted · Edited by jimbobothy

    Hey all,

     

    Last night at a gig setup another one of my Warwick tuners broke on the string post. I thought I had broken 3, but I counted them all up and over the last few years 4 have gone!!

    Thankfully I didn't live too far away and had bought some generic replacements so could go and get one!

     

    I'm glad they have changed back to Schaller now!!

     

    Can anyone recommend decent replacements please?

     

    Peace.

    Multiple Pedal Synth Sounds

    in Effects

    Posted

    … I occasionally play about with a compressor into OC-2, a Fredric Effects BugCrusher, Solidgold FX Beta Mk2, a MXR Bass Envelope Filter and finally a chorus of some kind (either EHX Eddy or MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe). I do have other pedals that can be swapped out but some good synth sounds can be got with those lot. Err, I also have a Pigtronix Mothership 2 that is an actual analogue synth so that works nicely aswell. Once I got some very convincing Space invaders dying sounds I almost laughed at ha ha 😆

    Pedal board - or stick with what i've got

    … just a word of experience from my part.

     

    I started with an Boss OC-2, then a HX Stomp a few years ago, my plan was to see what effects I’d actually use then go down the physical pedal route soley. Err, now I’ve got no Stomp (but I have just got a Zoia 😆) and an abundance of analogue pedals that is nearly at peak (is there such a thing as peak + 1 ha ha), loads of actual pedal boards, 4 PSUs, a mountain of patch cables, have to deal with some crazy hum issues and keep having to buy dual lock!

     

    While I do like physical pedals, I can’t help but think I would have been better off just keeping the Stomp! Would have saved me a bucket of brass and help me not spend hours tinkering with boards when I should be practicing ha ha 🤔😁.
     

    End of the day tinkering with pedals and boards is fun, but I find I can get a bit distracted by all that and not really play the actual bass ha ha

    Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

    I might revise my board down to a TU-3.

    lol, I actually only took a tuner to my last gig due to a no. of uncertainties. As it’s a Funk/Soul band (but mostly Soul tbh) I faired ok. The board I had planned to use will definitely get shrunk even more now 😎

    Pedalerai Volto 3 with Xotic 18V adaptor?

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by jimbobothy

    Hey all,

     

    Has anyone used a Volto 3 with a Xotic 18V adaptor successfully? 

     

    Pedaltrain state in their manual that the Volto 3 is ONLY for 9V analog pedals, I've a Xotic SP compressor that can be run at 9, 15 or 18V. Has anyone ever run one  using the adaptor at either 15 or 18 V successfully without any damage etc.

     

    I presume it'd be ok, but just want to check before I commit lol.

     

    Peace.
