How would you rate the lusithand vs the fat general clone @Ander87? Lusithand is based on the Diamond comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Indeed @Bigwan! I’m the fat general clone is great but of course the thought of a diamond v2.0 was attractive. Both great, but I’d say the Lusithand has more headroom - takes 9-18v with a circuit doubler so mine is effectively working at 36v. It is also more flexible with the EQ with two different set points to shelve/tweak at 250/900hz. Potentially more sustain too, but then again, whilst I think I prefer it to the FG, it doesn’t make the FG bad in no way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander87 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Plus, this is the older enclosure with a printing error (9-12v opposed to 9-18v) so I got a good price from Nuno and couldn’t resist 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not sure it it's supposed to do that though ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Here’s the latest mini board I’ve settled on, primarily for heavy sounds, but it’s so versatile it can quickly and easily serve as a backup to my main board.

Bagman Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Got a Laney Comp on the way anyone here had a whirl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 @Al Krow the mothership has landed! Going all out digital. It'll keep me busy for a while - especially when I start using midi. I don't think there are many sounds this lot can't make. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudgeman Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Current bi amp rig for Rock/metal covers band... Laney takes care of the lows in a big way...rest runs fun stuff. Spark is a new addition simply to boost level for my P bass as its output is way lower than my Jazz and Dingwall. Would like to swap out Demon FX pedals for DG originals but simply don't have the cash...and from my research pretty much sound identical...maybe one day. Apollo 2 phaser is a staggering pedal on guitar or bass. Totally nails that Lizzy Alibi tone.... Chorus lands well for Sweet child of mine... B7k clone is set with low drive and really gets me the Harris clack along with p bass and flats. Octave used conservatively on Land of confusion ( disturbed) and lay down your love (Whitesnake) really thickens sound. Sheehan pedal ( my fav) for all the Mr Big/ winery dogs stuff... I am trialling the Joyo battery power supply with this. No issues with charge times..it runs this lot for 4 hours plus... But to reduce anxiety levels at gigs I charge it in the gap between sets... No cables ..no ground loops... No earthing issues.. and cheap...and if you don't like it use it as a battery charger for your phone..it has usb out! I ditched my George Ls to try Harley Benton solderless patch cables ..unbelievable value and am running 3 boards without a single issue ..the sockets are super compact as well. Have recommended to loads of people without issue... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wondering how similar they are and usual yadda yadda gas Well, the Deco is basically on my board for it’s always on sound. Subtle saturation. The Jive I’m using for a more heavy driven sound. Its capable of a lot more range than the deco. (But arguably less nuanced) im still trying out saturation at the moment so there’s a lot of overlap on my board currently, but it’s all different. The Blackstone is also a great ‘always on’ drive. …So it’s all going to sort itself out in time as I decide which combinations work best for me.

Really not sure it it's supposed to do that though ... It does have a sound but I dunno if I’d say it’s a pretty decent distortion sound especially when set that way. When it’s set that way it’s the same as the pedal when off. I’ll try that again to make sure I’m correct in that. That definitely doesn’t seem to be working how I’d expect. Are the LED ladders showing? I wonder if your signal might be *really* hot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 cheers for the reply, I'll contact Empress as the signal isn't hot tbh. May be a fault in the unit!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use the double pedal version a lot many years ago and loved it. I've been using a Mooer E7 for some arpeggiator style work, but I'm really tempted to pick up the new slicer.

Interested in your experience. I really like it, midi is a big plus in such a small pedal, I’ve actually got the big double pedal aswell so I should do a comparison! they sound great tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamtheelvy Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Been updating/upgrading the little board recently, for when minimal effects are needed and/or lightweight is key. Pretty happy with this for clean tones. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
