    Now, I have one of the 105's myself, and the one thing I don't like about it is that there's a short delay
    in your signal when you turn it on or off (by moving the pedal just a little forward).

    The internal trim pot allows you to configure how long (or short) the delay of the effect is.

  2. Yep, you control sweep of the filter with your foot alone, it allows you to sweep as fast or as slow as you like. Toe down it reaches the high end of the sweep as if the envelope is fully open, heel down it's deep and bassy with the filter closed.

    I used to sue one with delay, reverb, phaser and chorus to get nice ambient filter swells.

    It's the non true bypass version (hence the low price), but to be honest, I can't tell any difference to my tone and signal whether this is in the signal chain or not so it's pretty academic. maybe true bypass is more of an issue with cheaper pedals, not top quality ones like this. And I never turn it off anyway so i don't need to bypass it.

    The buffered bypass on this pedal is very clean and the compression is truly brilliant. Have a free bump on me, I've got one of the same of these and love it dearly. Great pedal, don't be put off by the "it's not true bypass" rubbish.

    Anyone know what Stagg basses are like? They do a.passive MM copy with a solid Alder body for next to nothing.

    NO! Bad! I once had a Stagg BC300 and have played a number of basses in their line...and hated every single one. You owe it to yourself to get something a little nicer.

  5. Well firstly, it's very much different to an envelope filter of course, so although you will be able to no doubt create very similar sounds to those produced by the M82, your dynamics do not affect the sound at all.

    The 105Q is well built and has a good feel. The adjustable Q pot is very good, taking you from subtle to a very strong wah sweep (which I have loved). It has a volume pot so you can configure the wah to have a gain boost (or reduction) when engaged, which is perfect to take centre stage with to accentuate a part. The effect leaves your fundamental in tact, which is perhaps one of the reasons why it handles bass so well and sounds so thick, so the wah sweep is just applied to the full midrange and highs.

    Further, there is no toe switch to engage the wah as on a conventional wah, as you step on it it engages as it is spring loaded - exactly what I was looking for. The effect disengages when you take your foot off - you can also adjust how quickly the wah turns itself off when you roll the pedal all the way wah to the heel end.

    I've really enjoyed using mine. It is the best selling bass wah for a good reason and if I weren't pushed for pedal board space I would probably be keeping mine. If you want to try a wah, give it a punt. I've got one in the classifieds for sale and I think there may be another too.

    Have a listen to this:

  6. That set up at the top was actually a vastly reduced version of the original THREE boards which used to surround him. And to be honest, from the set up he's currently using, there isn't much overflow. Arguably the DL4 and Ghost Disaster are both delay units although the GD also has reverb, but that's it, everything else has a unique purpose on his board.

    To each their own, I mean he doesn't have to carry the thing himself to every gig! I personally think that's all very usable, but then again some are happy just to plug right into a head from their bass, no messing. With the kind of material he's creating, you could say he NEEDS all that gear. I watched an interview with him where he was thinking of condensing all his modulation and delays down to just a Line 6 M9, as his guitar playing counterpart has mostly just done.

    EDIT: Yep that article has everything in it with the video interview at the bottom, didn't realise.

    Current idea is

    MP-201 (which takes up 11x11"!)
    Moog Cluster Flux
    Moog LPF OR Xero depending on what I have
    TC Nova Delay
    Boss OC2
    Mastotron
    WMD Geiger Counter

    I may drop the Delay as I'll be doing less soundscape stuff and more fat low end and wubwub'ing...

    That's pretty damn close to John Davis' board if I remember correctly? I don't think you could get away with much less than that, unless if you tried something like what Fattybassman does with his M9? Just a thought.

  8. Perhaps it's worth emailing the builder if you've got your heart set on buying one? I'm sure they will do all they can to help you find a solution or perhaps even mod a unit for you to work with actives better.

  9. That's everything gone now, thanks guys.

    [s][b]Korg AX10-B Multi Effects Unit, now £35[/b][b] posted including delivery.[/b][/s][b] SOLD![/b]

    This unit has it all: distortion, octave, filters, delay, chorus, flanger etc.



    My first ever multi-effects unit, a brilliant introduction into the world of effects, with expression control that can be assigned to a number of parameters. A plethora of amp modelling, a powerful EQ section and of course a built in tuner. Doesn’t come with an adapter but can be run on standard 9V –ve tip DC power or AA batteries – if I remember correctly it doesn’t eat them up too badly! I’ve still got the instructions, no original box but I’ve got one to fit. [b]Used, loved and in good, fully working condition.[/b]

    - Silver body and knobs with a cool design that projects a sense of solidity

  10. One of two ways to get there, with a dedicated lowpass filter, like the Iron Ether Xerograph or the Moog Low Pass Filter (MF-101) or with an EQ pedal, where you would roll off all of the offending higher frequencies, such as the Boss GEB-7. Either of those lowpass filters allow for expression pedal control so you can roll the higher frequencies in and out as required, but cost more than a simple EQ pedal.
