In fact the 'Unknown Pleasures' album has been doing the rounds this week - but this track in particular. -
I used to have a russian Big Muff that ran left to right. That was awesome too. Coincidence?

+1,
I've just got an MXR80, and it's sooooo clean. I tried it through the big Genelecs at work today, and it's studio quiet, no background at all - very impressive. The 'distortion' is closer to 'fuzz' though; not the 'drive' that I associate with the Sansamp, but it's switchable and that for me means that it's a more versatile piece of kit. Being able to power it with phantom power from a board is a bonus too. -
'bout time. Great music.

New pics up and I have found replacements for the missing buttons.[/quote]
You still have the MXR for sale mate? I'm looking for either one of these or a Sansamp.
Cheers, Paul -
Mine is a shortscale Hohner and I've had it for years. I defretted it a while ago and recently put flatwounds on it. I'm using it for a local radio spot later this year, and there's a chance the engineer will just mike it up - perhaps not the best idea, I'm trying to wangle taking my Ampeg pre so that the listeners actually hear some bottom end.

Stop running away from your amp - you're causing a doppler effect. -

For which we are eternally grateful, Doddy. Come July we'll no doubt love you even more. -
I'm tempted by a BDI21, as my Ampeg SVP is just too big to keep pulling out and setting up. For £25 what could possibly go wrong?
Edit: just picked up a used MXR M80+ this afternoon - lovely. -
I've had a metaphors, and found it a bit noisy as a DI, particularly the compressor. Loads of people I know swear by the Sansamp stuff. A fellow BCer also A/B'ed the Sansamp with one of these:

got some good recordings from it too, if memory serves. -
I love my LH1000. Loads of headroom, and a simple, intuitive EQ section. Lovely, quiet fans too, not at all like the HA range. I changed the valve in mine for a Tungsol to tame some of the 'toppiness' that Hartke's seem to have. Worked a treat.

Just out of interest, was it tip to sleeve or tip to ring you ended up using?[/quote]
Ring to sleeve seems to work - don't know why. I started out with tip to sleeve, but that just gave the same settings as having the pedal rocked all the way back (minimal delay/modulation) I'll have a play with tip to ring tonight t see if that's any better. I'll keep you posted. -
Steady now!
had a play last night with a fixed resistor and a 90 degree jack plug - seems to work quite well. I'll probably mount a small pot in a plastic box eventually to keep my options open. -
Duly noted, I'll get my meter out.
-
I moved onto a Micro Q-tron after being a bit disappointed with my DOD FX25, loved the sound, but wanted to tame the volume boost and have a blend control, so I sold it and bought an old 24v Q-tron+, had the option to blend, but still a noticeable volume boost when engaged. I did the master volume control mod, and now I love it.
-
Yeah baby, planning to go to Manchester. Roll on Friday morning.
-
OK, here's the deal. I've just bought an EHX Memory boy, but the full amount of delay is only available with the expression plugged in, ut I want to keep that for the Boss SYB5.
My idea is this, build a device that fakes the extra impedance delivered by the EV5, to 'fool' the MB into thinking I've still got it plugged in.
I'm guessing a TRS jack and a fixed value resistor, any thoughts on what value works for this sort of application? Also would this actually work? -
I've often wondered about this. Can this 'difference' be related to the mains voltage (110V in the US, and 230v in the UK)? Anyone know if this the case?
-
Cheers Pete, loooove that video - all trippy and sexy trippysexiness.

Bump for photo and price drop.

Phew, that's a beautiful bass. Hubba Hubba. -

Foe sale - Taiwanese Boss LM2B. I've not used this for a while, so I'm offering it for sale. Works perfectly and in very good condition. Either Battery powered (not supplied) or 9v mains adaptor (not supplied).

I don't have the original box or instructions, but these can be downloaded from the Boss website (the instructions, not the box...)

Another +1 for the Focusrite Sapphire. Good quality, clear preamps with plenty of headroom. Will phantom power condenser mics too. I've also had great results through a MOTU too, but as an all-in-one unit the focusrite has it all - routing software for independent monitor mixes, LED meters etc... great unit.
