  1. I am not sure it is Fuzz. I may be wrong but it sounds more like a distortion to me.

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=98153"]This[/url] could be a step in the right direction.

  2. It looks similar to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71973&view=findpost&p=865206"]this[/url], [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71973&view=findpost&p=794908"]this[/url], [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71973&view=findpost&p=697060"]this[/url] or [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71973&view=findpost&p=705729"]this[/url]. :)

    I should be able to help you. If you send me an [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/images/contact.gif"]e-mail[/url] we can discuss the details.

  3. I am not sure I understand your requirements.

    Are you sure you don't need a mix box?

    /// Split box
    input: 1 signal
    output: 2 or more copies of the input signal

    /// Mix box
    input: 2 or more signals
    output: sum of the input signals

  4. Thanks for your kind words Mark. It was a pleasure meeting you and have a chat about effects and signal processing.

    I am really happy to hear that you like your new [sfx] pedals.

    Regarding deej's question about the micro-rd (aka micro red dragon)... the micro-rd can produce fully saturated sounds but I wouldn't call it an aggressive overdrive.

    I was talking today with Mark about a pedal with a more aggressive distortion. Mark described it as “a distortion that begins where the RD ends”.

    I was thinking to a micro pedal with a Rat/DS1 distortion perhaps with a frequency-based clipping... what do you think?

  5. [quote name='Smash' post='871631' date='Jun 19 2010, 12:05 PM'](...) [I] wished someone would do something similar for a cheaper price.[/quote]

    From the schematics I saw of other D*A*M pedals I would be surprised if it was a major problem.

  6. I am sorry if I gave the impression that I though that £300 is an unreasonable sum to pay for the pedal in the photo - it wasn't my intention. Personally, I have no problems if a D*A*M pedal sells for £300 or £3000. As I said, I was simply curious about it.

    Moreover, strictly from the bass player viewpoint I have no way to judge - I never tried any D*A*M pedal.

  7. I am the last person that wants to comments other people work but I am genuinely curious about it. Just to be sure I understand... ~£300 for this?

    The people Markbass put me onto 'guesstimate' that there won't be much change out of £200! - which will make this a very expensive amp, if I get it fixed & dare to trust it again!!

    I am not that surprised the amp stopped working - everything can break.

    What surprises me is the cost of the repair. £200 is really a lot of money especially considering that I don't think there is anything in the F1 that costs more than £10-20. How much money do they charge per hour? :)



  9. Interesting review.

    The only thing that doesn't convince me is when he says: [i]"Taking apart the Pitchblack revealed that its not true 3DPT switch, its a pad that touches a motherboard mounted no/off switch. Polytune has a true 3PDT switch..."[/i]

    True bypass can be achieved with any switch. Even momentary switches (I think Lovepedal implements true bypass in this way). MXR uses DPDT for true bypass (e.g. Blowtorch). [sfx] uses 3PDT or DPDT depending on the type of unit. In other words, the [i]type[/i] of switch used has nothing to do with the quality of the bypass.

    Another free bump for one of the best (the best?) drum machines on the market at a very low price.

    I would buy it but I bought a TD-6V a few months ago.

    A couple of videos:

    One of the best multi-fx unit on the market at a great price. I would buy it if I didn't have one already :)

  12. [quote name='EOS650' post='837144' date='May 14 2010, 01:51 PM']I've had a similar issue with using guitar pedals with bass. The bottom end is gone. Can an EQ fix that?[/quote]
    It depends.

    Without going into too may technical details, if the pedal filters the lower frequency completey, there is no way to fix the problem with an EQ.

    If the cut is not too agressive and it takes place only at the lower end of the spectrum, a little bit of EQ can help.

  13. The Boss SD-1 is essentialy a Tube-Screamer. It has some internal filtering to cut the lower frequencies that unfortunately kills all the lower notes on a bass guitar.

    The best way to make the SD-1 more bass friendly is obviously mod the pedal. A blender can help but it is not the same thing that increasing the low frequency response. Without modding the pedal, the lower frequencies will never be processed.

    Could you give us a little more details? E.g. conditions, power supply included(?), p&p included(?), PayPal(?), instructions included?
