Higgie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Ok here we have a Custom VFB pedal. Here's the original info from when I bought it a few weeks ago: [quote]Barge Concepts Custom VFB - This is a custom made VFB, and instead of having the feedback loop, the pedal housing is slightly larger, but houses two blend circuits. The reason for the larger enclosure is because each of the loops works independent of the other. Each loop has dedicated in, out, send, and return jacks (you can route the two loops in any order on a pedalboard, or cascade them one into another) as well as two blend amount pots that are selected A/B style via a footswitch (with red/blue labels and a red/blue LED to indicate the pot used), there is also a variable impedance pot on each of the loops as well.[/quote] Barge Concepts now make a pedal as standard that performs this, the DVB-2, but this is 2 DVB-2's in one box, with an impedance control for each loop, allowing actives to work with ANY fuzz. I need to fund a new Aguilar cab, so anything surplus to requirements has to go. A standard DVB-2 is $125 + shipping and import duty, so this is a steal at [s]£140[/s] [s]£105 + postage[/s] CHRISTMAS BARGAIN: £105 posted.

thisnameistaken Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 So that Barge box is two loops in series, each with two switchable blend settings? You can't blend the two loops together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically 2 of the same pedals in one. You could place a pedal between loops as they have individual ins and outs. Or you could run different loops/basses to different amps, etc. The possibilities are endless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I was bugging them to make a pedal that had two blend stages for aaaages. Now I'm trying to find how it would actually fit into my updated rig to see if I can make use of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) No matter what rig your using, this thing can become a part of it. I was planning to use this as the patcher between my boards. I had it on my band board, which was OC-2>Cream Pie>Barge(Swollen Pickle clone in the first loop)>Tuner all on a pedaltrain mini. This means I had 2 different blend settings for my fuzz, then all I had to do was plug the send and return into the in and out on my second board, and it serves as the perfect link to put everything in before the tuner, amd also means I can blend my second board at different levels to my fuzz, but also means all I have to do is unplug 2 leads and then I could just grab the small board for grab 'n' go gigging!

ritch Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I saw on the Melekko website that the 600B isn't compatible with the 1Spot type power supplies, but would it work with one of the AC-DC brick types, with multiple outputs?

Cheers Rich[/quote] Those bricks are basically a 1 Spot in a box, so no! Battery, or some kind of isolated power supply will be needed. I'd advise buying an isolated supply like the Pedal Power 2 or Burkey Flatliner, but the cheapest option (aside from buying a seperate wall-wart) is the [url="http://www.thegigrig.com/acatalog/TheGigRig_Virtual_Battery.html"]GigRig Virtual Battery[/url]. It plugs in between your power supply and pedal, and effectively isolates that output. Edited April 22, 2009 by Higgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm literally so excited about having a decent analog delay. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I honestly wish I could keep it, because it's so versatile and has a wealth of features. The only reason I didn't sell my other delay is because it would be too hard to get hold of one again, I definitely want another in the future. If for some reason you don't get on with it, I'll have it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
