Total Watts

    In the studio tomorrow, and planning to grab a couple clips of the BFF - let me know if there's anything in particular you want to hear. Planning on capturing the following at least: Low gain tones (with flat wounds for a "vintage-y" sound) Use as a dirty envelope filter

    I've been using mine live in Alt Rock and pop/synth contexts. In the studio it has been all over everything, from low to high gain and everything in between. As well as on multiple different sources. Bass / Guitar /Drums / Synth...etc.
  3. pilotbicycles started following For Sale - Moog MF101 Filter , CMC Audio Bi-Filter Fuzz (BFF) , Dingwall NG3 5 String - *SOLD* and 3 others

    Jumping in here - it's an incredible pedal. Similarly, I paid for mine, so no spin from me. Proper exciting pedal. Had chats with @lowmid early on in the development, and have been anxious for it's release from the first peek. If you can bare me wattling on for almost half an hour, I put what was intended to be a quick video together here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/botmadte9s3tanj39p9e0/BFF-Demo-Manual.mp4?rlkey=hzkmpppncumlkkuikwqqeox8g&st=6if3icnw&dl=0 It ended up being a fairly extensive video-manual type thing, trying to explore as much of the pedal as I could. Hopefully this will be helpful for people. The expression input has so many possibilities within, and I plan to do some more videos exploring that side of things more. It's very easy to use the expression input to have easy access to two different sounds as well - e.g. with upward envelope modulation you can have a squelchy/synthy sound with expression at heel down, and then with the expression fully opening the filter you have a more standard/straight-forward fuzz. Does the synth thing very very well with an octave before. I'd encourage exploring modulation before the pedal too, as the way it interacts with the envelope follower can be really rewarding for some very animated tones. The Peak filter is the secret sauce as well - really sets the voice of the pedal. Peak gain at minimum will help for exploring those low gain tones, but you can also boost the peak frequency to bring out higher harmonics, or just get things super slice-y. Happy to try and grab basic video/audio of anything people want to see/hear as well.

    Had also been asked about the weight of this: 4.15 kg / 9.15 lbs

    Straight sale would be preferable, but I'm always open to trade / p/x offers. Feel free to DM any offers.

    Here is a pretty much brand new Dingwall NG3 5 String. I've had this for 2 months, used it for 1 gig, and a couple studio session. Hands down the best 5 string bass I have ever player, but sadly not quite the right fit for me. The action is crazy low and yet the strings ring true and clear. Tone from this thing absolutely beastly. This has all the new upgrades Dingwall introduced this year: - Minimalist bridge - Smaller active/passive switch (for no snags and harder to knock by accident) - Neck binding - String bullets (individual string retainers) Finish is a gorgeous black with subtle sparkle. Matt finished knobs that seem to be rubberized, are super easy to grab mid gig and tweak away. I have all the original case and goodies, plus packaging so all good to get this shipped too - will be £35 to UK (contact me if needing shipped further afield and I can see what is possible). I am sure I will regret this - I was giddy after the one gig I played with it after the sense of ultimate low end power. But I know it will mostly sit in my studio unused for the various projects I am involved with. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.

    For Sale is an Origin Effects DCX Bass preamp/overdrive pedal. Great sounding and versatile pedal from Origin Effects, giving sounds inspired by the UA 610 tube preamp. This pedal is really happy anywhere in. signal-chain, giving always on character at the start of a pedal board, shaping everything at the end, or as an overdrive/distortion effect. Very well designed and put together, making it really hard to get a bad sound out of this pedal. For Sale - £199 incl. postage and packaging to UK & Ireland (get in touch if needing postage further afield).

    For Sale is this wonderful Khan VTDI. Wonderful tube preamp, that has served me incredibly well both live and in the studio. Sound amazing on bass as well as most other sources - a real go-to DI box in the studio. All in perfect working order, and sounding as wonderful as you would expect. Some scratches and marks to the enclosure that you can see in the pictures. This is a spare, that I no longer require. Price is £450 - not looking for trades at this time. Will come with an IEC power cable. Happy to sort postage to the UK & Ireland, let me know if you are further afield and I can sort price...etc.

    I will double check actually - I had swapped out a few tubes at some point, and had greatly preferred the sound of an old Philips 12ax7. That tube is definitely not still in the Finally, but I will double check what I put in there. Either way I am happy to include a couple of tubes for people to experiment with themselves. I certainly wouldn't claim either is "better". I find the 12ax7 to typically be warmer, and give me a bit more control over saturation/breakup (which I imagine is due to the relationship of the gain pot taper, and the more present saturation starting earlier in the pots range of travel), whilst the 12au7 is cleaner, clearer, and tighter. I will ensure it has the original 12au7 installed, but include a 12ax7 in the sale as well.

    Here is an unique beast - the Plasma Pedal from Gamechanger Audio. Capable of some really interesting fuzz and distortion tones, that sound like time and space are being ripped apart, or just a little bit of texture. Great sounding and flexible EQ. Can get seriously velcro-y, and due to its operation is always gated, and introduces no unwanted noise. Perfect in synth bass signal chains with octaves and filters. Very responsive and dynamic. Price includes P&P.

    Here is the simply incomparable Moog MF-101 Filter pedal. Sounds incredible and wonderfully flexible, yet easy to use. This is one of two I own, otherwise it would be staying with me. It can quack, it funk, and it can dub. In great working order. No original packaging or power supply, but I do have the correct plug adapter which will work with whatever your pedal power supply of choice should be. Price includes P&P.
