DF Shortscale Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hi everyone, a quick hello from me as I've just created a new account. I'm Dave, based in SE London, I play jazz, I like short scales with dead strings, pedals that that make new amps sound old, and cabs that weigh as little as possible.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hello! I love shorties, jazz, light cabs, and old strings too. We need more of us among the metallers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Browning Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Welcome. There's nothing wrong with being short, and scales are important to practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Welcome! I’m wondering what pedals make a new amp sound old. There’s a lot to be said for modern amps , especially with a good tube preamp. I do love a nice rich old school thump , and short scales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit late to respond to this, but I find pedals like the Broughton Fliptop or the SVPre really useful, both for practice and gigs. The Origin Effects and Jad Freer stuff is probably even better, although haven't had a chance to try those yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I’m curious about Jad Freer too. I was looking through some classifieds today and noticed a Demeter Minnie. And was thinking it would be a lovely thing with a Broughton P15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that Sisma amp and their cabs look killer, I'm too scared to look at the price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) They’re on the high side but not exorbitant , they are hand made in Italy… And the user reviews I’ve read glow. (Edit) I have a friend in the US that’s looking at their Capo preamp. Edited January 27 by msb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit) I have a friend in the US that’s looking at their Capo preamp. Yeah, they sound super good too! I guess the price is where it should be, I'm just trying not to think about it to avoid temptation.. If I didn't already have a Broughton Fliptop I'd definitely be looking at the Capo, such a nice range of tones in that pedal. The Broughton is probably less versatile but it takes care of the B15 thing for me (for now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I wound up buying a Monique preamp to do that. It was pricey , but no regrets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
