Indeed but has a bit of a deeper low end and also the two switches add extra attack and I believe a bit more gain spit leave smooth, and the other switched the tone section to a rat based one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BabyBlueSound Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) It's not here yet... According to tracking info it's resting in an Esso (yodel pickup) next to Liverpool... but can't wait, this will be very useful for my hobbyist home recording setup.

Will be keen to hear your thoughts on this. I have another MF-101 clone by Triungulo but - just like the Moog - the drive section is always active even in bypass. This Past Fx is interesting to me because it does it away with that ‘feature’ and has a master volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisswanbon Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Everything bar the Tuner, Ocabvre and C4 are recent new or new to me acquisitions in a bid to find my IEM + FOH sound... but the HX one was purchased new today out of the need for an occasional bit of reverb and delay. What a great pedal! I didn't see the point on release and was torn between this and the zoom ms60b+ today, but the designated tap tempo won me over. I love the idea of having future requirements met, and having the option paralysis of the hx stomp taken away - just one pedal, no routing or amp and cab options to worry about. You can even limit how many "presets" you're able to scroll through with the footpedals which is great! For £200 this just seems a well thought out and well built pedal! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted Friday at 11:05 Share Posted Friday at 11:05 (edited) Yet another EHX Black Finger, which will be my third. Reason is that the one that served me well for about 20 years sadly died recently, so I am now using the one I bought as a backup a while ago, exactly for the case that my beloved old one should stop working. So now I bought a backup for that one as well. A practically mint condition one, with original wooden case and all included, and for a price at under 2/3 of what they usually go for (not including power supply though, and the original EHX tubes having been swapped, but no big issue since I got the power supply from the deceased one, and extra EHX tubes (which is really my preferred preamp tube)). For those who don't know the Black Finger is a tube driven optical compressor, with its two preamp tubes operating at proper high 300V plate voltage, I however use it dialed in so that the compression basically never kicks in, more so as a tube preamp stage, with the gain set to drive the tubes to just at the edge of breakup. Amazing pedal, in fact the most important pedal in my setup, and crucial for my tone, just makes everything you run through it sound better. This is the one: Also I just yesterday got the One Control Crimson Red Preamp, that I ordered from Thomann, but it is going back. Mind it work flawlessly, and is a great piece of kit for someone who plays dub or reggae, or just really likes their bass super deep with subdued highs. And the lows, while massive, aren't floppy at all, you can get some proper low end punch out of this. Just not for me. Here is what that looks like (mind just a random Google image): Edited Saturday at 10:58 by Baloney Balderdash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted Friday at 12:05 Share Posted Friday at 12:05 (edited) 23 hours ago, LukeFRC said: as someone who sometimes opens up pedals to fix.. is it fixable?! I would think so, but I am nowhere nearly knowledgeable enough about electronics to say so with certainty. I would think it would for someone with proper experience with tube circuits. The issue is that it makes a very prominent hissy, sometimes crackling as well, noise, and this get's worse, to the point where there is nothing but hiss and crackling, when turning up the Post Gain (which would be output volume). I tried to clean the pots, as that helped last time I had noise issues with this pedal, but it didn't help one bit this time (and yes, swapped out the tubes as well, to no avail, and yes, with tubes I knew worked perfectly fine). The thing is it actually works as it is intended to, as long as one doesn't turn up the Post Gain pot up too high, except for the background noise, that is so bad that it makes the pedal practically unusable at any point. As far as I gathered, and with my limited knowledge about electronics, my best bet is a busted capacitor somewhere in the output gain stage circuitry.

Sibob Posted Saturday at 07:34 Share Posted Saturday at 07:34 (edited) Latest pedal(s) are my three Schu-Tone minis: ’FLOverdrive’ - BB Bass Pre clone. ’FJBOD’ - Blueberry drive with diode switch. ’Finn Chorus’ - Dan’s Replicant circuit. All named for my children, Florence & Finn (both have the initials FJ). Relay switching in 1590a format, love it, I can’t rave about Dan’s work enough!

There’s a new batch and they’ve added an internal switch to choose between true bypass and having the drive still active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
