Two actives and two passives.

The only active that I have to treat a little differently is my American P V that had an Aguilar OBP 3 in it (big, big output... was clipping my PWNZOR until I turned the input gain down and played a little lighter).

The reason I went for passive is that I found my Pwnzor worked [i]m[/i][i]uch[/i] better with passive electronics than active; to be more exact a passive Precision than the two active Warwick basses I had whilst I owned it. From what Spencer has said, 'Your're Doom' works equally well with active and passive basses, can you attest to this?

I feared you may say that! So tempting to order, wish I had ordered one the same time as the b7K now, can't justify US shipping costs twice :(

On a related note, Prymaxe have a 20% sale at the moment! as opposed to the usual 15%. Makes things much cheaper,even with duty/vat added. :)

What are you using for the lighting underneath the board?

My current pedalboard I use with my band :



Boss TU-2 (Tuner) --> EBS MultiComp (Compressor) --> EBS OctaBass (Octaver)
--> Feedback Looper homemade (( Loop : Digitech Bass Whammy --> Tech21 Red Ripper (Fuzz) --> Mooer Trelicopter (Tremolo) ))
--> Fuzzrocious Rat Tail custom (Distortion) --> Darkglass Microtubes B3K (Overdrive) --> Boss BF-2 (Flanger) --> Boss DD-3 (Delay) --> Boss GEB-7 (Equalizer)

[i](out of my pedalboard, I also use at home these : [/i][i][i]EBS WahOne, Boss CE-5, Guyatone BR-2[/i] and modified EHX Bass Big Muff)[/i]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]I'm finally happy with how it is now. Only thing that misses is a midboostswitch on the muff, but with the tonebendermod it already has bass enough, so that is something for in the future.[/size][/font]

My most up to date and possibly final version for a while.


Bass -> oc3 -> zoom (in the blended fx loop bass synth wah -> MD2 -> fredericks fuzz) -> amp


I use the zoom for tuner/ compressor/ whammy / phaser / tap delay/ vibe / amp SIM and to turn fx loop on and off. All within one patch. Pretty amazing really!

Darren is that an ew Minifooger drive in there? How you rate it?
[/quote]

It's the minifooger boost pedal, just for a wee tickle. Havent tried the drive as there's already too much filth on the board. The boost is quite nice tho. I just changed to a boogie big block head which has a boost/OD channel so I might not need it anymore.

It's fantastic. The distortion is really fat and the Rat is the first really usable one I've had. In the past I always found unless the rat goes into the front of a full valve amp it sounds bad. This one works on hybrids too. The LPFs are the secret weapon I think. It seems Tom can make better pedals on his kitchen table than the big companies, for less money, simply by giving a f*ck about the end product and how it will actually work live, in a room, with a band. Not in a bedroom on a youtube clip.

How's yours?

Totally agree! I think it's the fact that he puts serious time into testing, and it helps that he's a bass player too!

I had him put a socket in for the op amp on my TK-421 so I can swap them around, but there's just something about the inherent tone that I love. I've had the clean blend and LPF put in, but find I'm actually using it more full on. It certainly holds the low end well enough!

I've got a Darklighter on the other side, running at 18v. I originally intended for it to replace my mosfet Bassdrive, but I much prefer its tone. Not tried a Knightfall yet, but I'm sure I will at some point! ...

This is driving me mad! I have a unit with the TK-421-X and Grand Tarkin coming and all this positive feedback makes me want it NAOW!
PS the TK will also have the LPF and HPF on mine too! :)

You've got a HPF on there!? That's quite interesting, what's the idea behind that? Mine just has the two LPFs, one for the distortion and the other for clean.

I bet that Tarkin/TK combination will sound incredible! Have you got any special stacking options on there? It's quite a ridiculous thing with COG, I find myself getting very excited about other people's builds! :lol:[size=4] [/size]
