bakerster135 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1433692592' post='2793135'] Does that work ok on the bass then? The TC Electronics FAQ for it says it doesn't have the bass mode like the original polytune had, so doesn't work as well. [/quote] The "Bass" mode that the FAQs are referring to is where you hit all strings simultaneously, and the tuner displays which ones are out of tune. The chromatic mode (i.e. tuning one string at a time, a la Boss TU-2) is exactly the same on the mini/noir as the original, and works perfectly on bass.

lefrash Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If starting from scratchm £700 I would more or less just get my existing one plus a few other bits and bobs... so... Existing: Boss LS2 - £50.00 Digitech bass synth Wah - £30.00 Zoom Ms60b - £100.00 Boss BF-2 - £60.00 So I'd add: Boss Harmonist - £100.00 Digitech BSW (yes a 2nd one) - £30.00 Boss TU-2 - £80.00 Swollen pickle fuzz - £100.00 Then spend the rest on high quality cabling and a decent power system. Its actually quite scary how far £700 would go (or should I say how far it doesnt go??). The extra pedals are just so I would no longer need to knob twiddle between tunes, and it seperates out the functions I currently use my ms60-b for. So really, For the extra dough I'm not really making any extra noises... just making life a bit easier for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 For bass I don't need anywhere near £700 worth---tuner, OD, maybe a synth occasionally. For guitar I'd get a tuner, a jumbo tonebender, a RAT, a lighter OD, and blow the rest on an outrageously awesome tremolo pedal. Perhaps two---one for the stutter sounds and another for the amp-like stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) From scratch id start buying up pedals from my board. As i am now, id probably go: OTO machines biscuit £400 bypass loop £40~ and ill probably then need a gigrig power adapter fot the biscuit. £60 dont know about the last 200, probably another type of bitcruser...

Britsie Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If I had that amount of crazy money to spend, I would get on the toneczar waiting list for a halophaze phaser (€375) and a Powerglide tremolo ($345). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Zoom B3 - £140 Keith McMillen 12-step - £180 Reasonable MIDI module - I'm sure I could get something new or second-hand for the best part of £400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonEdward Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 [quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1433628783' post='2792679'] Hypothetical situation here. You've been given £700 to spend on in pedals and pedals only. What would you get? [/quote] Oh, not very much! but.. even if the cash was just given to me (hypothetically), I would still search through the pre-loved markets first:- TC Polytune mini = £50-£60 BOSS OC-2 Octaver = £70-£90 TC Corona Chorus = £70-£90 Source Audio 'Vertigo' Tremolo = £150 - - - - > personal self indulgence Earthquaker Dispatch Master (Reverb/Delay) = £150 Eden WTDI World Tour DI/Preamp pedal = £100 ..some Haribo and one or two beers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Assuming I had no other pedals already... I'm talking used prices here of course! SFX Micro Thumpinator Aguilar TLC Compressor Sansamp Programmable BDDI Darkglass B3K ISP Decimator Zoom B3 These are the pedals I currently use on an "always on" basis, and are the core of my sound. It would probably come to around £600, leaving the rest for extra leads! Edited June 16, 2015 by chrismuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
