[quote name='johnnylager' post='309219' date='Oct 18 2008, 01:27 PM']EBS. But I would say that, I've just sold a SansAmp to buy one.[/quote] and a damn good choice. the ebs pisses on the the sansamp from a not inconsiderable height.

if you want a flexible pedal preamp i'd say go for the ebs. i'm finding myself using mine more and more for home practise - just running it into my power amp, and this is instead of an ampeg valve preamp !!

[quote name='colinmk' post='307452' date='Oct 15 2008, 10:48 PM']Hi guys, I have (hopefully) just aquired an SVP-Pro blackface too. From what I'm hearing above it seems like a good idea to think about upgrading the valves. I will have a listen to it first when it arrives and if all seem fine then I may just stick with the stock but I'm always trying to find the best tone possible. Anyway if I do decide to upgrade then the above mentioned from Watford valves sounds good but I will be wanting a real driving gritty tone if possible from it when I need it. Will this be achievable with most 12au7s like the Phillips? Or should I look for something that has been known for this type of sound? Cheers.[/quote] is the 12au7 the 'drive' valve ? interesting...

i can only add that red onion are fab

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='307194' date='Oct 15 2008, 04:19 PM']When I emailed my vendor saying 'I wasn't impressed with the packaging', he replied 'Why not? What was wrong with it?'. Even when I explained he just didn't get it.[/quote] that's rough. as it happens the pedal i bought arrived with one of the knobs bent. as the vendor hadn't mentioned this in his description he couldn't argue really - he'd either tried to palm off a damaged pedal or packed it so badly it had taken a major bash.

i've never found a bass magazine that's worth the cover price... thank god for forums !

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='307126' date='Oct 15 2008, 02:44 PM']Not as scary as your story but I once received an effects pedal not in its cardboard box but in a Tesco Bag with the handles knotted and and a sticky label with my name address and stamps on it.[/quote] oooch - i though my boss pedal stuffed into a tired old envelope with an A5 piece of squashed bubblewrap in with it was bad. as it happens i chased the vendor up and got £20 back off him...

if you can't get the mod sorted and/or get sick of it, sell it to meeeeee!

oooh. luvley... can i ask where you got it from ?

well, i managed to rehabilitate the old one...a good session with switch cleaner and some mild abrasive and it's back wrking :@)

[quote name='dood' post='304594' date='Oct 11 2008, 09:52 PM']The Sovteks are defintely the stock choice, but not 100% sure about the Groove Tube. I know they use the Groove Tubes valve in the Billy Sheehan BSB preamp though.[/quote] it's going into my dha purist
