markyboy2106 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello all I have quite a basic set-up (EBMM 3eq, Markbass 1x15 (jeff berlin) combo + 2x10 transporter cab) and want to invest in some interesting effects. I've played for over 14 years so know my way around my instrument, I just want to widen my array of sounds. I notice a lot of pedals are available via American sources only or if not they are considerably cheaper. My questions are these: Have you had success ordering pedals from the US? If so, who did you consider most reliable and provided the best service? What pedals would you recommend for a relative effects novice for a good array of sounds and fun? I've tried multi-effects but want to avoid that horrible digital sound from some and the fact that c.1 in 1000 sounds are useable. I would be grateful for your feedback.

markyboy2106 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for your response tayste. I've had a look at their web-site and this seems to be what i'm after. it's the kind of boutique-y feel i want i think. Are there any pedals you were particularly enamoured with?

Higgie Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I get most (if not all) of my pedals from America. I've also had nothing but positive experiences from Tonefactor. Ebay is another good source! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayste_2000 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 the Subdecay Prometheus when released in a month or 2. In theory it should be a better filter than most out now and fixes the flaws that the FM4 and Robotalk have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 ahh how so is it better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It's the features mainly I've spoken to Subdecay a lot about this pedal and we've talked about what is good and bad with every filter pedal I've tried. So this on features up and down, Bandpass, lowpass, highpass, sine and saw wave and sample and hold There is no other filter that has all these features the basic circuit is what is in my Gurgle and Moan and it's a really nice filter and the only other filter I've used that can get that dubby fx25 sound but without blowing up your speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I ordered an Analogman Bi-Comprossor on July 21 2008. It turned up yesterday! 18 months on the waiting list, about a week for delivery once it'd been built. Very prompt and friendly email contact - Mike didn't mind the occasional gentle reminder and helped out with techie advice too. And he ahem underestimated the parcel's value for VAT purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
