I'm going. Someone posted a thread about it a while ago and I got the impression it was sold out, but obviously not.

Nice! That's a useful custom pedal.

It's just I work right next to one so can take back stuff if it's wrong etc. If they don't have the right values, i'll order online from somewhere else. Thanks for all the help guys!

OK, i'll just get the closest matches I can from Maplins and giove it a go. Thanks!

Thanks! Now I just need to know if I can use any opld replacement caps?

No, replace all the silver with black!

The volume keeps going up and down in an SS amp. I've asked around before (it's been sitting around for a year while i've been lazy/busy) and it was suggested I replace the "output caps". I had a look inside and thought it might be wise to just replace all the big caps. Am I at any risk here? It's been sitting around for at least 12 months. Are there any specific "musical" caps or do I just get the matching values from Maplins? Thanks in advance for any help

That's hardly big news. What a(ir) con! ba dum tsh

[quote name='jamesbass116' post='708826' date='Jan 11 2010, 01:58 PM']obviously i didn't get those cos i sounded like a spoiled brat in my original post... which i acknowledge but if i was 20 years older there would be a different kind of atmosphere in this thread.[/quote] You're openly acknowledging you think you sounded like a spoiled brat in the OP (I didn't think that!). No-one would get away with that on BC no matter how old they are. You'll see plenty of abuse thrown at pensioners on here if you hang around

Cool!! What's the "big news" for the new year then?

More sympathy guys, he could be a suicide risk!

Interesting! IMHO you would do very well to make guitar sound (really) good through bass cabs alone.

can't you just tape up the little two and use the big two? Maybe not.

I want to remain aloof from the thread, declare it immature and generally distance myself from it, at the same time as slag off Victor Wooten. Do I need my own arm chair? Or a throne?

[quote name='Kev' post='703544' date='Jan 6 2010, 09:55 PM']why has no-one mentioned the xp100? Has all the whammy setting of the bass whammy, plus alot more, and can be got for often cheaper than a 2nd hand wh4[/quote] Yeh, that's what you want. I had one until I lost it :-(

That's a good point. Sometimes people don't want good tracking though. Loads of people love the digitech whammy, and Boss OC2 and they're both pretty poor(relative to expensive pitch shifting gear) at tracking notes.

I use loads of cheap pedals. I used to use a zoom gfx707 in combination with lots of other more expensive pedals and only ever had positive comments.

I wrote a song in a certain key, and it didn't sound right tuned down a semi-tone (which is what my band does) and I used a capo to raise it back up. The song was quite difficult and used open strings. I'm sure I could have learned it without a capo, but it would have taken a lot of practise which I couldn't be bothered to do!

I play bass and drums in two bands with the same frontman. I pretty much do whatever I want, but quite often I get "oh, I wanted it to go like this". Then it's down to me to say I like it or I don't. If I don't want to do it his way it can get a bit awkward. I think I generally back down and go along with it, especially on drums which i'm less experienced on. I think the generaly rule for our band(s) is: If it's significant (a chord, a route note, a rythm) then any member can comment on it. If it's insignificant (fills and solos basically) then it's down to the individual. If you dictate to a guitarist how to play a riff for example, it could end up sounding like you playing, rather than him.

We're a 3 peice and I recently took the link out of my sig... myspace.com/nologorocks

Yeh if it's a fraction out it's a chorusy effect, if it was a semi tone or a tone out it would be a bit horrible (not necessarily bad).

I rest my thumb on the end of the neck when I want a "rounder" tone.

I really like behringer stuff! It's cheap and it works IME.
