Never tried them - but for a triple driver, they seem to be good value for money. Whether they will be as good in terms of headroom as something like a ZS10, I'd probably question that. They (the GR i6) will probably will sound better (assuming that they have been designed properly)... so it's going to be a trade off between headroom and heading towards a nicer tuned IEM... but there's not a great deal to go on in terms of reviews or my experience with them. The only thing that I can find, is that the drivers are 2x bass, 1x treble (as opposed to a bass, mid, treble) so you may get the headroom in the low but you may end up with an inherently smiley face EQ - but that can actually be very pleasant for bass, depending upon the style of music you play. If you were happy with an E2C, I suspect you will notice an improvement as the i6 should give you a better low end response. I would be interested in the driver type in there - if they are dual dynamics and single balanced armature, they could be really good fun, as they would follow the same sort of design as the UE6... which are an immense IEM for bass players. Im a bit disappointed in the lack of info on the GR Bass IEMS to be honest - there's pretty much nothing out there about the specs. GR Bass aren't going to be taken that seriously in the IEM market unless they start divulging that kind of information. If you can get a good deal on them, they are probably worth a punt. They look decently made and comfortable enough.

But then you are bypassing the front end shaping of the (pre)amp.

I reckon you’re not far off being able to put a toe on each push button. (once again, apologies for taking up space on forum posts with my endless drivel)

Just the normal kinda drivel.

This could have all been avoided with tongue in groove.

I think you are referring to the Barefaced cheque that was mentioned earlier...?

Well, this thread has become quite riveting.

...mind you, I'm probably just talking drivel.

Could be down to the recording- the clean blend is there to alleviate that maybe?

You'd be hard beat to get something better than the Orchid Electronics box for the money - http://orchid-electronics.co.uk/Amp_Interface.htm

Such a fun tune isn't it? Absolutely criminal that it never got to compete. Best Eurovision song in eons.

There’s always the block button.

Again. A point missed. Indeed, other pedal manufacturers deliver pedals in a wooden box - most notably EHX. Their boxes however, do not include potentially harmful tacks. If somebody has an example of a pedal manufacturer doing similar with tacks please let it be know - as I think they are really shortsighted also. And as a potential consumer, I don’t have to have bought the thing to have a valid opinion. I don’t even have to be a customer to have an opinion. If that was the case, there would be a lot of professional reviewers out of a job. Just what is it about Barefaced? If you read back everything in this thread, my comments have been made to help Barefaced. I’ve commented on how the use of icons may not be that clear. I’ve commented on the lack of LED bezels - but appreciate that may not bother some people but that’s my personal preference (and indeed somebody else has commented on that). I’ve commented on the lack of dimensions on the website as that could help people to buy the pedal. I’ve commented on the potential hazard of the tacks which could be easily remedied. I’ve commented on how things should be industrialised - better to spend time shifting boxes than messing about with customisations. I’ve commented on the spelling mistake of an artist on the webpage (which still isn’t fixed). All of the above are suggestions on how to make product even better. Whether he takes that on board is neither here or there to me. To be honest, this weird cult and attitude towards people who share opinions that don’t share this faultless view of the business is probably more harmful to the business itself. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a company that took on board what customers and potential customers said so ultimately both the products and customer satisfaction is improved?

I swear people read and interpret it in a completely different manner. Nobody lost their stinky poo over the pedal. It was Alex’s input that caused a thread disruption. The rest has been feedback that has subsequently being read as an attack. I’m sorry but including items such as tacks that the seller has clearly acknowledged could be a hazard would be better if just removed the equation completely? Just to clarify, nobody in this thread has run down the machinist pedal. There have been comments about its graphic design and layout decisions and a query surrounding the safety of the tacks holding the box together. That’s all. One is question of aesthetics, the other of safety. I think they are both valid discussion points? Its essentially a COG pedal. Of course it’s going to be good. It seems like unless anything BF is met with anything but faultless, high praise, the mob are unhappy.

Looks like a decent pre - I wouldn't be using it just for acoustic.

Have I missed the slide on lid bit?

Whether it off cuts or not, if you are messing about with custom boxes (which I don’t think Barefaced are - I suspect they are putting bits of wood that are big enough in their router and pressing the button) you are creating work for yourself and it’s a very bad business practice. As stated earlier, pedals is about shifting units. If your customer wants custom paint jobs or boxes or whatever that costs you time, they should pay for it!

And some tape would be a lot more safe... especially when the instructions are only in English and the product is being marketed worldwide - which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem... if there wasn’t a hazard like having four nails.

That would make zero sense if you are looking at industrialising your process.

Just skimmed. I don't think anybody has complained about the price. Only comments were made is that a 250 fuzz box is not for Stevie and potentially this pedal goes up against stuff like the Helix Stomp. There's a whole argument there saying that it apples vs oranges... but it's a valid challenge. However, I know that the cost of producing small runs of pedals like the machinist for the money that it is, is far from unreasonable.

Has there been a lot said about the price? I'd say the pricing for this is about right for the functions that it has and it's "boutique" element? (Although the box is a little questionable to me... and the inclusion of nails is just bat stinky poo crazy from a safety point of view)

Where has this sliding lid come from? There's nothing in the pics to suggest this?

Indeed, I can't see anything that resembles a slide on lid. All Im seeing is a lid with some nail heads visible... and some holes in the lower part of the box where those nails would seemingly historically sat...? (Bottom right looked like the nail missed the bottom box?)

Now they're cute!
