Stone Deaf PDF-1X. I LOVE this thing. https://www.pedalempire.com.au/products/stone-deaf-pdf-1x-ltd-edition-mcbess-artwork My basic setup - HPF/comp/Octave > STONEDEAF > Dirt section > rest of the board. My main use right now is an EQ adjustment from my main tone to kick in and out, with the "dirt" footswitch giving me a boost for big sections. The ability to use this thing for anything from EQ adjustments, boost/cut, notch-filter, cocked-wah etc. It's a ripper of a pedal, but does have a learning curve, so I'd be reluctant to bring it to a gig without getting to know it first. I've currently got it on my guitar-board, but I feel it's going onto my gig/bass-board soon.

FTT Black Vehicle is my fave drive after 20 years of buying/selling drive pedals. Haven't even looked for another drive pedal since I got it a couple years ago, as this works with all my basses and amps, rounds & flats. Love it.

I tend to prefer individual effects for my core sound, simply so I can very quickly and easily tweak to whatever room I'm playing in, or which band I'm playing with, or simply rip something out if I have technical problems. I think my gigging bass board will always be fairly simple so I can focus on playing and singing. Being able to change something in a split second, is the main reason I've stayed away from multi's on my main board. Recently just bought HX Stomp for my guitar/fun board. Will join a Future Impact & Midi controller. No idea how this might change my thinking. Seatbelt is on!

FTT Black Vehicle (which includes a boost), a Fuzz & a Strymon Mobius would have me set

Thanks, I may just end up buying and flipping it if it doesn't do the job. Cheers

Hi everyone, There's a 90's re-issue ORANGE PA120 for sale close to me, an I'm really keen to get some more info. It's goin really cheap! FWIW, I love the old 70's OR120's for guitar n bass alike, but I've never even seen a P120 in the flesh before. Anyone used one? Heard on? Even an old vintage one? Anyone used it for bass or guitar? Thanks

Heath said something over on OZbass, that the website was something he just never got time to maintain, so the facebrick was a better option for him. AFAIK, he's been a very busy fella working on new designs and such. RE: New pedal doing a tour, you could always ask? I've owned a few of Heath's pedals, they're great IMO

Hi peeps, So I'm thinking of getting a birthyear bass - and I love P-basses (who doesn't). I've read a few differing opinions on the build quality of 1980 P-basses though, so I was wondering if anyone out there knew much about basses around that time period? Is there a certain model to go for? One to avoid? Cheers guys.

The vid/audio were captured through an old Sony digital camera. I don't know why, but the mic on that thing is pretty decent at capturing high SPL levels.[/quote] Just out of curiosity - what settings did you use on the amp in this recording?

I thought you guys had no vocals? Nice vids - and the audio is pretty clear for being so close. What did you use to record those clips?

I had this same lack of fullness - and no amount of pedals or preamps ever changed it. Then I got a passive P-bass and dressed it up with TI Jazz Flats. Now I have that 'sound-in'my-head' after years of constantly fiddling with my setup. Get some flats if you don't already.

As far as stomp-style preamps, the DHA stuff, and of course the VT bass would be my first choice. I've used both with my tube slave with good results - and of course you get a nice DI signal too..... As far as tube power amps...... vintage may be the cheaper (and over-engineered) way to go.

[quote name='the_brow' post='1177665' date='Mar 27 2011, 05:32 AM']though I would share some more clips. Recorded through the camera mic so not the greatest but there are some spots that you can get a taste of the matamp tone.

[quote name='Finbar' post='1168271' date='Mar 19 2011, 10:24 PM']I seem to be the only person who thinks the deepest depth setting has way too much bass D:[/quote] [quote name='Basszilla' post='1168581' date='Mar 20 2011, 02:23 AM']I pretty much think that as well Fin - I'm always in the middle of the depth with full drive. Treble at 1 o'clock and bass at 11 o'clock with presence at about 2 o'clock. I play with a plec. What about your settings?[/quote] I've read a few things regarding this here on BC; Does the GAIN have a big effect on the amount of bass in the amp? Does the presence affect the bass a lot too? If you were going for a nice clean setting - does the amp still offer too much bass for you guys?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1150582' date='Mar 5 2011, 10:10 PM']Try a Sansamp VT into something fairly transparent (like any of the other rigs you mention).[/quote] ^^^^^^ Defo. I ran a VT bass into a tube slave when trialling out an Ampeg V4b only a few weeks ago. The Ampeg was no different in tones I found useful .... the VT had it covered, and it literally sounded sooooooooo similar it was uncanny.
