    What are you using the Moog expression pedal for?
  2. bassist_lewis
    So metal 🤘

    Yeah, its a fantastic pedal. Initially I thought it was too weird sounding to be much use, but I now end up using it more than my overdrive on wedding gigs. I use it as a compressor/boost when I'm using a pick, but with the same setting and rolling the tone off on the bass it makes a great B15 sound. The LED is horribly bright though.

    I remember playing one of these when I was shopping for my JMJ Mustang and it was a lovely instrument. Like you say, lightweight and real easy to play. I will be googling them imminently...

    I finally got my Schmidt Array XDM350 board on Thursday and I've been working on it ever since. It's still not quite finished, the cable runs are very long, I think I've used some 25 feet so far! Only one more to go for the Jive and I'm fully operational!! I also have a Noble Preamp on order, it should make it onto the board in November.

    For a long time I was obsessed with getting the bass sound from I Wanna Dance with Somebody/How Will I Know/We Can Work it Out (Chaka's version). Before I got the EHX micro synth the closest I got was a octave>chorus>filter, in particular the 3Leaf Chromatron, which gave me the down sweep sound I was looking for. I also found that my Malekko B:Assmaster into my Moog 101 was a great Stevie Wonder-esque synth sound, though oddly I couldn't get the same sound with any other fuzz pedal. I also got a great atmospheric David Lynch's Dune-esqe sound with octave>fuzz>moog filter w/expression pedal>delay.

    CASE HAS BEEN SOLD! After getting my Schmidt Array this board is no longer needed. It's a great lightweight board, plenty of space underneath for power. I've cleaned up the underside as best I can, but there's still some residue and scratches. Loop side velcro will be left on topside. Dimensions: WxDxH - 45.72cm x 31.24cm x 9.4cm Postage to mainland UK included

    I think its great minimalist no bulls**t setup. All basses covered: octave (mega jealous of the octabvre mini btw), filter (C4 is a filter?), fuzz, overdrive, comp, tuner. I wish I could be so discerning!

    My band just released a 2 track EP. Here's one of them. https://youtu.be/I8i-zGpbwd0

    I too have a Noble on order (roll on November), and I found a website that did detailed calculations based on the price of the item, cost of postage, VAT etc (can't be bothered linking it right now, might add later) and it came to around £250 duty on top of the price of the preamp. Even if its sounds like s**t, for that price I'll be singing its praises forevermore 😂

    Do you trust it with that lovely bass?
  12. bassist_lewis
    A Schmidt Array pedalboard (due in a couple of weeks), Noble Preamp (due in November), and a Serek MW 5 (due in November/December).

    Probably have too much on order to afford another valve amp but I'm watching with interest
  14. bassist_lewis
    How do you now what's what? 😅
  15. bassist_lewis
    Is this new or a special edition?
  16. bassist_lewis
    Agree and agree. I really like the bridge pick up sound, its mid-rangy and cuts but isn't too bright, as you say. On my other bass with a bridge pick up I don't tend to use it solo'd but on the Acinonyx it really works. And I kind of prefer having the preset tone settings, less faffing around! I agree in the same ball park, and I use them a such, but there is a little extra something' something (which I love btw). It was why I bought in, its got a unique sound I'd never heard before (on something I could afford!)
  17. bassist_lewis
    Sounds beefy! I feel like the Acinonyx is very different from the more familiar Jazz/Precision/Stingray tones in most recordings, so it still feels a bit odd playing it live, but I'm sure I'll get over it! That's a great set btw!

    Welcome to the short side! How do you find the Nordy on gigs?
  19. bassist_lewis
    2 filters???
  20. bassist_lewis
    Sick burn. I get the impression Spencer is someone who likes to do things his own way...
  21. bassist_lewis
    Also never used the Small Clone, but the Julia is great, its especially good having the wet/dry mix. The Lag control is a really unique control to have as well, gives a lot more nuance than most chorus pedals.... I might switch mine out 🤣
  22. bassist_lewis
    The Rupert Neve RNDI will take an out directly from an amp, you just flick the switch to -45dB.
  23. bassist_lewis
    I got mine from Joe's Pedals. based in the UK, so cheap and quick postage. There's also one for sale on reverb just now for £170! it went up the day after I bought this 😤
  24. bassist_lewis
    Bought pretty much on a whim, and I am not disappointed. The low octave sounds great in 'low' mode, and the tracking is AMAZING all the way down to low F. Also has that old chunky vintage aesthetic. The soloed octave sound maybe isn't quite as gritty/characterful as the OC2 or Octabvre... but still solid af.
  25. bassist_lewis
    Early Boss pedals used a weird power section that dropped down the incoming voltage for some reason. They can run on 9v if you daisy chain them (I think you have in your picture), and my OC-2 runs fine on 9V, but the chorus didn't work at all.
