Guest teamcoy Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Just had a bit of a change about with my board. Pretty happy with it, for the mo at least. Edited May 9, 2012 by teamcoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teamcoy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Cheers, I think a POG2 is next, need to see how the hell to fit it on the board while keeping accessible though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 @Teamcoy, how do you find the headrush on bass? Seems to be a pretty popular delay/echo for the price and a not too shabby looper either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teamcoy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think the headrush is great. Still learning with it but it is definitely a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know as soon as you want to move it on, I might be interested. [/quote] Ah yeah - The Carl Martin one is very swish and has lots of options. It is pretty massive though (and not quite as switch as the GigRig Pro 8!). The Buzz one that I have is not programmable and was custom spec'd to have ALL inputs and outputs on the back (plus the enclosure is smaller than 90% of 5-way loopers) which makes it amazing for space saving, but you have to use compact jack plugs or you can't fit them all in! Buss do make a programmable version as well though it's not as feature rich as units like the Carl Martin (though it is a ton cheaper) and I think the programming is done on the inside so it's less tweak-able-friendly. I'll know if I'm moving mine on in the next week or two hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a straight 8-way looper: http://buzzelectronics.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=28 (mine has in/out and power also on the back).

LiamPodmore Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) My board idea so far: The MT-2 isn't mine, it's just here before it gets whisked off to it's owner (Though i do have one, that's somehow totally dead, and i'm watching one on Ebay). Going to get a board over the weekend and i've got my eye on a Marshall Jackhammer on Ebay as well. Running the MT-2 into the BDI-21 gives me nice, heavily distorted Hysteria (The Muse song) style tone that sounds absolutely beautiful but it's nasty (In a good way).

If anyone has the very specific desire to swap a Mastotron for an Ultra Fuzz let me know... Edited April 28, 2012 by bobbass4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam [/quote] Should be a sweet little setup! I always prefer the BDDI/BDI21 before any other drive pedals for some reason, Seems to give you a more definable attack. Try that too if you havent yet!

I'd get one if I didn't already have 10 dirt pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Still awaiting my perspex to make an Al Bling base. Hoping it arrives today. I have though, made some mods & added some Boss/Moog style knobs. Having turned my Ibby into a passive bass with volume, tone & pick up blend knobs, I had a spare hole & thought I'd put it to use. I've put a 100k pot where the EQ switch was & wired it to a stereo jack socket (which is where the audio jack was on the bass) & put a mono socket on the backplate for the audio. Now I can control a moog parameter from the bass. Playing about with LFO rate & Envelope slope on the Bass Murf, & Envelope amount on the LPF. Pics to follow when I get the bling.
