hamfist Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) SOLD Just purchased from BC's michinho. I had to give it a try and I believe it to probably be the only one in the UK. It is a pretty awesome pedal but I can't quite justify keeping it to replace my current COG arsenal and it is slightly more old school than my current SS setup. Anyway, it's a two channel 100% analogue valve-based bass overdrive. I have tried a lot of valve -based pedals and been underwhelmed by all of them. However, this thing really is a "big 'ole valve amp" in a little box. Creates a glorious sound and low noise too. A very impressive piece of machinery. Simple controls, two gains for the two channels, master tone and master volume. Footswitches for effect on/off and for switching between channel 1 and 2. Only a few months old, in perfect condition, with 12V AC adapter. £175 posted to you in the UK. details at ... [url="http://www.mycopedals.com/"]http://www.mycopedals.com/[/url] Heres are pics and some soundclips I have just done of the pedal. The first is mainly on both pickups of a PJ bass. First riff is the clean tone, then the pedal is switched on and the gain is simply increased for subsequent riffs. The bass is switched to the P pickup at 1:49 [url="https://soundcloud.com/alanbridges/myco-3-a"]https://soundcloud.c...ridges/myco-3-a[/url] 2nd demo, similar to the first but all on the P pickup. Note how incredibly transparent the pedal is and also the complete lack of background noise - most noticeable right at the end, when on full gain ... the note cuts off and there is simply silence !

Thanks [/quote] The main body of the box of the pedal, excluding all switches and knobs is 14.2cm x 9.2cm x 4.7cm. And not really actively looking for trades, except a P/Ex maybe for an Ibanez SR505. However, you can always try me. I might be tempted !

hamfist Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) [quote name='funky8884' timestamp='1400013557' post='2449966'] Looks similar to the Swell Pedals . [/quote] Swell became Myco. Same chap, just changed the name. Mainly, I have read, because Googling for "Swell" brings up several billion hits. Googling "Myco" is rather more specific, although you will also discover a rather pleasant looking Japanese actress of that name .....
