Unfortunately we're still experiencing some technical difficulties on the Sound Unlimited website today. The office phone lines are still a go-go as usual so if we can be of any help in the meantime please call 01752 265 312. We can still operate Google Checkout and Paypal for invoices whilst the site is down. Thanks, Ed

Thanks! It looks like the site should be back up at around 4pm. In the mean time if I can be of any help just PM me.

Hi BlueFalcon, I work for Sound Unlimited. We're just having some temporary website issues! We'll be back online shortly.

[quote name='umph' post='600615' date='Sep 16 2009, 07:13 PM']do you mind me asking why the middle position? you'd be much better off replacing the input or the phase splitter valve![/quote] I've been meaning to try it in different positions. I don't know a whole lot about the tech side of valve amps. The reason it's in the middle is because when it was serviced the pre-amp valve in the middle position was showing up as a bit weak.

Still available. Didn't have time to take pics last night but I'll post some pics on here tonight.

Thanks! You don't need another do you? I've always thought it would be cool to run two AD200's, one set to clean, one set to dirt.

[b]SOLD![/b] 12/11/09 [b]Back up for sale! £750. I used it for some studio work a couple of weeks ago and it sounded FAT! I also had it serviced the other day as I ran it pretty hard in the studio - it's all in tip top condition I've decided to make it free fully insured shipping on this one, but I'm keeping this sale UK only. [/b] [s][b]17/09/09 - I'm putting the sale of this amp on hold. I've just found out I've got some session work in a few weeks that this amp will be great for. Depending on my money situation, it might be back up for sale after then.[/b][/s] This is such a stunning amp and I find it painful to have to do this but I need the dollar, so something's gotta go. My Gallien Krueger with Rusty Box pre-amp suits what I'm doing at the moment. So here goes... Orange AD200B mk3, roughly 18 months old, well looked after, decent quality fitted padded cover included. Re-valved the output in January this year and put an old Philips 12AT7 in the middle position of the pre-amp. This has just made the gain a little smoother, the amp sounds a bit more old-school for it but you can still get those very aggressive "Converge" tones from it when the gain is cranked. I had the amp serviced and biased by a professional (I can supply the invoice/notes from the service). It's currently at my practice place but I can get pics of it tomorrow when I bring it home. It's in immaculate condition. I think I still even have the original box! You're welcome to collect. I'd prefer bank transfer or cheque, I don't mind paypal but please add 3% to the price if you want to use that. PM me any questions. Ed

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='588461' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:43 AM']A special prize does have to go to my Yamaha TRB4. They can be picked up for next to nothing and are just brilliant in every respect - apart from being in any way 'cool'. Much underrated.[/quote] +1. They're cracking basses, I got a 6 string TRB1006 recently. It's so.. playable! My favourite is my Streamer Stage 1. Light weight, bites through the mix, P & J pickups, down-tunes well and is a pleasure to play. That ticks all the boxes for me!

I've seen them a few times but the most memorable was at the Brixton Academy when they'd just released their self titled album, I remember feeling blown away by the intensity of that gig. They can be such a full-on live act when they're in the right venue!

[quote name='arabassist' post='583309' date='Aug 28 2009, 10:34 AM']No prob. hasn't Chino Moreno lost a bit of weight too? ^_^ [url="http://content.velvethammer.net/deftones/defkorea/image.jpg"]http://content.velvethammer.net/deftones/defkorea/image.jpg[/url][/quote] haha! Yeah looks like he has. I saw them at wembley arena a few years ago and he looked like he'd been busy with pies.

I'm not sure, they blog a fair bit on their myspace so it might be worth having a glance there. Chi's been in a coma for 10 months now

Sorry to state the bleedin' obvious here but if you put pics and prices up you're far more likely to sell these. -
Haven't done this in a while, here's my current setup. Even though there's quite a few pedals there the signal chain is pretty clean because the TU2 is in the 'tuner out' of the EB volume, then it's compressor > rusty box > bass drive > barge loop (and the top row of the board are all in the barge loop in order from right to left). I'm really chuffed with this setup, I'm getting a lot of sounds out of it. The Rusty Box and the Bass Octave Deluxe are my latest purchases and they feel almost essential to my sound already.

I heard Primus and thought "You can do that with a bass? I want a go!"... never looked back.

Traynor do a slightly cheaper alternative to the AD200. I think it's called the YBA200 but if I remember rightly they're a bugger to get hold of. Might be worth looking into though. Although it has to be said, you get what you pay for with meaty valve amps.

Markbass Little Mark II Racked - Price drop
thumbo replied to GreeneKing's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Ooh! Nice rig! Markbass amps and DBX compressors are a great combination. I used to run a DBX 160a in my effects loop with Markbass amps to great effect. -
[quote name='jmesa' post='561948' date='Aug 6 2009, 01:28 PM']That Sausage album is probably my fave out of everything he's done. Brutal bass sound!!! Siiick!!![/quote] Sausage were awesome! "Riddles are abound tonight" is a must have album for any Primus fans. They made this funky video for the title track from that album: [url="http://www.esnips.com/doc/a2c8aa60-2c3e-4618-8092-c931c0fba1b1"]http://www.esnips.com/doc/a2c8aa60-2c3e-46...92-c931c0fba1b1[/url] Side One by Adrian Belew is quite cool, it features Claypool on bass and Danny Carey from Tool on drums. It's certainly nothing on the weirdness of Primus but it's cool to hear Claypool and Carey playing together, plus Adrian Belew is a wicked player.

I know that there's a few people on the forum that have this amp, these people will also probably know that a proper user manual for this amp doesn't exist! It's not that an amp as simple as this requires a user manual as such, but I think this chaps' attempt at putting together a manual for it answers a lot of questions. I hope this is of some use to you AD200B users out there, I've certainly bookmarked it.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='553501' date='Jul 28 2009, 07:47 AM']With a service like that it's a shame the jack plugs just won't work in a couple of my basses! [/quote] They have updated the jack plugs now - they no longer have that spring system on them because they were ripping the innards out of very expensive Taylor acoustic guitars. I'm guessing that it was the spring that was causing the issue for you, right? Also, I noticed a couple of people mentioned they didn't have their receipts for their cables. You'll probably find that if you contact the UK distributor they will replace the cable for you even without a receipt. There is only one UK distributor for Planet Waves, they're called Summerfield MI.

dead batteries, and corner shops in East London
thumbo replied to project_c's topic in General Discussion
Buy a box of them on ebay! I know thats no help to get out of a situation when you really need a battery for a pedal for a gig or practice that night, but you can save yourself a fair bit of money buying a box of 10 or so. I haven't looked properly but this seems like good value for money at a glance: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-x-Duracell-9-Volt-Professional-Alkaline-Batteries_W0QQitemZ320294688596QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM?hash=item4a930d1754&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1690|293%3A1|294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-x-Duracell-9-Volt...93%3A1|294%3A50[/url] -
Monkey FX Switcheroo effects loop. 3 effects loops. boost control - [b]edit (05/07/09): activated by the switch on the far right [/b] regular 9v DC power - doesn't come with power supply. This one has seen a few pedal boards, I bought it a while back from another BCer for around £30 + postage. It's got a load of scuffs on the top but it works absolutely fine. Ideal for anyone that wants to start experimenting with putting pedals into loops and keep them out of your main signal path, or for anyone with a hefty pedal board that needs to be controlled in sections.
