Bogren Digital are doing an Autumn sale of plugins. They don't have a lot other than 'Ampknob' amp sims which are controlled by a single gain control with predetermined EQ, impulse responses etc. I was very sceptical but downloaded a free trial of the 'Rev C' Mesa Dual Rectifier and Bassknob STD Ampeg SVT. Plugins are £35 each. Not expensive, but not cheap either. You can get some bundles of 3 for £70 or so. The sound? Really impressive to be honest, especially the guitar one. The bass one is very good, but is it 'better' than a Brainworx, Softube equivalent? Not in my opinion, but the Bogren is very easily to set up with a 'that'll do' tone for quickly putting an idea down without having to mess with 10 different settings. For that reason I bought it.

These photos would not be complete without a view of the three LFSys cabs I took to the Bash. From left to right, the Silverstone II, Monza and Monaco. That's my Classic Vibe Precision in the front and a Trace TE1200 providing the volts.

Cheers! I'm torn at the moment between getting the 100 and the 1. In the past, whenever I've used pitch effects, I've always had them on a dedicated expression pedal, so the 100 feel like the natural choice for me, and the presets in it are an added bonus that I am likely to make use of. On the other hand, I have more expression pedal splitters than I can shake a stick at and it's not big issue to have the expression on my board also be used for pitch when I need it, so the XS-1 is temping for space saving and less money. Decisions, decisions.

Chris bought a little mixer from me great communication instant payment. Deal with complete confidence

Nomen ist omen, as the old Romans used say. I found this amusing.

Sounds good!

I will be travelling light. Probably just the Ray34, my YamaCore bitsa, a Zoom B3 and a small combo. Let's keep it in mind and decide fully nearer the time. Cheers!

Well, waddaya know - another LFSys Monza! Partnered by a Bugera Veyron - an excellent combination. Note the tiny but pokey homemade cab in the background. @Pea Turgh's, I believe.

Oh yeh it can do -4 octave dive-bombs…… but obviously that takes up the whammy and I use the dive bomb a fair bit on a few sounds for fun so for ease kept the ps-6 aswell

@thisisswanbon great list! Question, you listed a Joyo Patch Kommander. Do you mean a Hotone, or is it the Joyo PXL? Either way, how did you find it. I'm considering the switching route again, and am looking at some cheaper options before I go for a Quartermaster from GigRig again. Thanks!

This is a rubbish picture of a great bass. I had the chance to play @rwillett Rob's printed headless wonder and it sounded awesome! Who needs tonewoods?

Sean's awesome Lany valve amp dwarfing an LFSys Monaco.

Does it do the dive bombs as well as the Harmonist? I'd hope so, but worth asking given you're still using both rather than hopping between patches to do octave up and dive bomb! Thanks.

You've seen pictures of the lovely food. Here are the lovely ladies that prepared and served it throughout the day. Thank you!

You can't beat a home made cab. There were a number of self-built cabs to be seen. Here's one.

Harmonist is there so I can do dive bombs whenever I feel like it basically, the 100is really cool have it set up as whammy +1 Most of the time! but also of a fuzz preset ( blast radius) I have it doing a octave up under the standard sound as you can set the balance/blend and works great as an octave down

I spotted a fair few LFSys cabs at the Bash. Here's a Monza flanked a Jazz and an Explorer

9 years... anyway. Yeh to make it worse, I wanted some scores for Queen songs, so I went to Hal Leonard (well known music publisher) when the song book arrived I was very disappointed to see they had rearranged the music to the point of it being almost worthless! Crazy Little Thing is as we all know in D and Hal Leonard score has it in C (not just a transpose as the chords were modified also). Other scores have being re-arranged as well. I wanted Severn Seas Of Rhye, only to see it had been "adjusted" - so it was back to the usual way of picking it out. I know the reason why, for a specific instrument, I got the one for piano and it was rearranged for home playing not as per the record. So now I have to see the score to be sure it's the correct arrangement before I buy (online). The "Band scores" seem to the best when available. Those where there's a score for every instrument. There are a few places online that sell scores, with a preview but I can never be sure if they are genuine (authourised) sellers or just a scam. I've just had a quick look at Stretta Music - then a Queen book, that looks more like it! Seems I need Faber not Hal Leonard

While these lists are massively impressive - I'm just as impressed that you've all managed to remember them in alphabetical order! Here's mine - I've starred stuff currently still owned and tallied stuff I've bought multiple times! It's nowhere near as organised as alot of these lists, or as extensive - but there's some stuff on there I'm really sad to have moved on. 3Leaf Audio Octabvre Mini Aguilar AG Preamp Aguilar Tonehammer Preamp* Ampeg Optocomp Ampeg SGT-DI Ashdown James Lomenzo hyperdrive Ashdown Bass tuner Aphex Bass Exciter Boss OC-2 Octave Boss OC-3 Octave Boss OC-5 Octave Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion Boss LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer Celebrity Pedals Taylor Shift* Cog T16 (II) Darkglass Alpha Omicron Demonfx Call76 compressor Digitech Whammy IV DopeFX Earth Dweller Dirty Haggard Audio Broken EHX Bassballs EHX Bass Soul Food EHX Bass Big Muff EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff EHX Hot Wax (II) EHX Green Russian Big Muff (II) EHX Sovtek Deluxe (II) Hotone Ampero II Stomp Hotone Soul Press II IK Multimedia ToneX one Jam Bass Rattler Mk2 * Jam Dynassor Joyo Monomyth Joyo Orthoros* Joyo Tidal Wave Joyo Ultimate Drive* Joyo Patch Kommander JPTRFX Jive (II) Korg Pitchblack Custom* Laney Digbeth Preamp Line 6 HX Stomp (II) Line 6 HX One* Mark Bass Vintage Preamp Malekko Diabolic Marshall Jackhammer MXR M88 Octave MXR Bass Envelope Filter NUX MLD Bass Preamp Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Bass Compressor Source Audio Aftershock (III) Source Audio C4 * Source Audio Bass OFD Source Audio Ultrawave Bass* (II) Source Audio Bass Zio SushiboxFX Spaceheater* TC Electronic Spectracomp (II) TC Electronic Sub 'n' up TC Electronic Sub 'n' up mini TC Electronic Corona mini TC Electronic Mojomojo TC Electronic Spark Mini booster Tech21 Sansamp bass driver Tech21 Sansamp VTDI Two Notes Le Bass (II) Way Huge Pork & Pickle (III) XVive Bass Squeezer Zvex Mastotron (II)

Sounds good. I have a Dacia Duster, and with the seats down it may as well be a Land Rover! I expect it'll be bass, amp, small cab, and whichever pedalboard I have assembled at the time, so not a great deal of gear.

Oh how I miss my Roscoes, especially the 32" Buckeye LG. Here are pics of a few of my old crop. There were two others also missing from list. I now have serious Roscoe GAS again.
