umcoo Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Just finished this up today thanks to an obbm daisy chain. GGG tuned muff and Polytune Mini powered by a Diago Micropower 9. Sounds great.

Al Heeley Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 its good practice to always have the tuner as the first box in the signal chain - that way you can ensure that the tuner receives the cleanest signal which means most accurate tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Cheers Al, I've always had a tuner at the end of my chain and never had issues. Used to have the TU-2 and used it as a mute if I had more than one effect on. Guess it's just habit now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hmm, not sure if it would have actually affected the accuracy of the tuner. I just assumed it would take it longer to track. I guess you could try putting it first in the chain and see if it works better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 fretless moments - thats a euphamism for jazz i think, thats cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My view has always been if the bypassed signal chain is affecting the tone so badly that it affects pitch then somethings wrong, my tuner always gives the same reading at the start or the end.

EskimoBassist Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 That Stache does sound massive. How are you finding the Markbass booster Mr. Murphy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 [quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1336339306' post='1644296'] That Stache does sound massive. [/quote] The Mids control just makes it a monster. That was with the mids on about 3 quarters. It's about twice as massive sounding as my Mastotron which until today I considered the most massive sounding fuzz I'd owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyratm Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 That sounds really nice. Wonder how it would compare against the IE Oxide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had a good play with Pil.I.Stein's Oxide and didn't like it all. Very weak next to my Mastotron - Si did mention he thought there was an issue with the Oxide though - did you get it looked at? I love this Stache. Its bloody amazing. Totally blown away by it.

pantherairsoft Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sorry about that. The always-on gate I had put in it does mean sacrificing a little bit of tonal versatility, but in a way that was sooooooooo worth it for me! I'm doing a range of video demos and write ups for pedals on my blog at the mo (1st one will be out tomorrow I hope) so this will be covered in detail very soon!

Wooks79 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Currently scrolling round the fuzzrocious site, hadn't heard of them till this, now it appears they are used by many of the bands I'm into! How much did it work out costing once it was delivered and had import tax if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Shipping was $38 US insured. Only way Ry will ship. No import tax. He declared it at $55 which I assume was cost (so it coul be built again on that price if lost). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] yep. sent it off to Max at SFX. he had the schematic direct from IE, and modded it for maximum volume/boost, but i still remained underwhelmed and sold it on. it may have been due to hot output from my bass or some other issue unsolved, because everyone on TB (and on here) loves the oxide, so i'd like to try a later issue. never mind. i was happy with a Depth Charge, Mastotron & Blowtorch. but now i want a Grey Stache. all your fault....
