stewblack Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 First GAS test, I've just seen that Catalinbread flanger, second hand, £130. Resisting right now. If it was closer to a ton I'd be in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumOne Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 There's nothing like selling a Helix and suddenly having cash to justifiably spend on building a pedalboard to super-charge pedal GAS! In the last couple of days I've bought: - Mooer mod factory 2 - Swiff tuner - Earthquaker devices The Warden compressor - Aguilar Grape Phaser -... and potentially a filter and distortion. I gave up on keeping it all mini, too restricting - I'll regret it as soon as I need to move it about on public transport though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Phaser is on my long list,band I've heard nothing but good things about Earthquaker Devices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With its feedback 'color' circuit it's really funky. A great alternative to an envelope filter and one you can use more subtly as it doesn't sound like a drowning demented duck! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I know nothing about pedals apart from my sansamp one, so a quick question, I use an Ampeg V-4B , which I’m loving , but there’s an Ampeg pedal for sale here ,are they used for getting the sound of the amp I’ve already got ? , would it be worth getting it , and would it harm the valves at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it's that amp it emulates. I've resisted the pedal because I have the amp it emulates. But it's so reasonably priced it's a tough call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E sharp Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 A quite expensive pedal, but I’ve pretty much emptied my board, now I’m playing in a soul band. So got a few funds. Unsure if it’s just an extravagance or not, but apart from some good reviews, yet to find a bass review on YouTube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pods Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) I've finally given in and bought a Cali76 CB, as I just couldn't get that "squash" from my Helix. Just thinking about pedals, I had what was (I think ?) a type of flanger but with a setting for ADT in the 80's. It was a big metal EHX style case, but I'm not sure if it was one of theirs or not. It was great for fretless ballads etc. It wasn't mine, and went back to it's owner when that band folded, but I wish I could remember what it was Pretty sure we had a Mutron alike then too. can't remember make or model of that either except it had all the controls the Mutron had in a similar layout. If I could find them I'd buy them in a minute. My one big spend this year would be a Fractal F9, but who knows when any stock will hit the EU, and then there's the expense of import etc. Edited January 4, 2022 by 2pods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'm liking the idea of a preamp pedal but they all seem pretty overcomplicated with knobs and switches everywhere lol I'm going to try the behringer Bdi121 again as I tried it before but didn't give it a fair chance I'm liking the look of the ampeg pre with the scrambler overdrive on it that looks pretty simple too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Quick question regarding pedal power adapters, which I know nothing about , on the guitarguitar site it says the , TOURTECH TTA-PSU01 9V Power Supply, is ok for the Ampeg, will it also fit the Tech 21 VT, or is there one that will work for both, cheers 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 The VT Bass uses the same (9volts) and only draws 100ma so they will both run off the same supply - but you'll need a daisy chain cable with minimum two plugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One into the power amp, and one in case I need the DI function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I just took delivery of an MXR Phase 90. I prefer it to the 100 - sounds fuller and then n between the super liquify or slightly janky 100 settings. I’ve also been a bit naughty and bought something pretty special that will be here on Tuesday or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Have been looking for a Digitech Drop for a while with no success. Singer can't reach some of the high notes in the stuff we do and some of it doesn't work well without the low notes. So, have just 'snapped up' a Behringer US600 which is allegedly capable of handling pitch shifting so I can tune down from E to Eb or D. We shall see. Up til now I've used a pitch shift patch on a Zoom B3 but it sounds a bit 'chorusy'. I'm supposed to be getting rid of stuff by the way, not acquiring more of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
