its an overdrive pedal from CMC Audio called Proto Type. thick, vintage vibe OD. Mine is the “29” version. more amp-like than fuzzy according to the builder. Can’t wait to try it.

The old trusty Brown Boss limiter

NPD for me, a Sushi Box FX Neptunium.

Love what its doing. I'm using it in conjunction with a Quad Cortex in such a way that the QC chain is running into it, and the XLR output is running back into the QC before being sent out to FoH/IEMs. This way, I get the lovely tube warmth and magic with a quick on the fly adjustable preamp, with a fallback DI available with just a couple of cable switcheroos. I also use the QC as a recording/practice interface, so keeping the Np within the QC workflow is necessary.

As shown in the pic, im getting great results by boosting the bass and flicking the cut switch to really thicken stuff out without adding the boom, and the treble brings back some sparkle absorbed by the tube. Instantly sound better, love it!

Lovely! Got mine the other day. It’s a greaaat sounding preamp!

Indeed! Can't wait to take it out tonight with the Evanescence tribute and be told by my bandmates they can't tell the difference. 

 

At least it's pretty.

Haha most important thing is it’s pretty!

It's good to have these two back on (pedal) board.

 

 

...not many things quite as smooth yet powerful 'wall of doom' sounding as these two combined.

I haven't actually bought it yet, but I am strongly considering ordering the Gamechanger Audio Bigsby, that simulates a Bigsby wammy arm, but does so much more (Vibrato or Chorus for one).

 

I always wanted a wammy bar on my bass, but getting even the cheapest option installed would end me up costing at very least the double of this pedal.

 

And before you get started, my main bass, which is a 5 string short scale, is tuned in G# standard tuning, that is like the upper 4 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string, that is really more of a low baritone tuning, or as the common term is tenor bass tuning, and I use it more melodically, and for solo bass work.

 

The demos I have watched of this are really impressive, it actually sounds realistic. 

 

And the advanced polyphonic pitch shifting algorithm they wrote for this runs on the SHARC processor that this pedal features. 

 

 

And yes, that is a genuine Bigsby mechanism sitting on the pedal.

Very original design.

Well, won't be this time, anyway, found an amazing deal on a used amp that I spend my money on instead.

 

Not quite a pedal, but the way I will be using it will be as a tube preamp.

 

This one (random Google photos):

 

 

The Laney Laney 50th Anniversary IRT Studio SE Amplifier, at a really good price used, under half the price of what it costs from new, and appears to be in mint condition.

I suppose it is guitar oriented, but perfect for my needs.

It is only 15W, but has a build in speaker dummy load that allows you to use it as a poweramp/transformer out DI, which is how I am primarily planning to use it.

It comes with 3 channels (Clean, Rhythm, and Lead, and then an additional switchable Boost), running with brand new and biased 3 12AX7 JJ preamp tubes, and 2 JJ EL84 poweramp tubes.

And allegedly with a high quality digital reverb build in as well.

And footswitch is included, to be able to switch between channels and engage/disingage reverb.

For sure this is going to beat the socks off my ART Tube MP Project Series tube preamp and DI I use currently as DI last in the chain of my amp-less setup.

And only weight 5.5Kg (12lbs).

For context

 

[tauzero]

Boss SY-200. I was considering getting one, then one cropped up for a price it would have been rude to refuse.

 

 

Have been doing some experimenting and finding sounds I can definitely make use of, which is nice.
