I think a compressor shows up your mistakes just as much as it helps if you have poor dynamic control. Swings and raaaaandaaabaaats innit.

[quote name='Dave' post='486647' date='May 13 2009, 09:32 AM']the crunch is definitely there, but this seems strange coming from a solid state amp. Any ideas?[/quote] You can get distortion from a SS pre-amp.

I've had the same sort of problem with my Peavey TNT combo. It's always fine the next day. Never had any lasting issues.

Lol, just a suggestion. Safety first!!

Sorry maybe i've not explained myself properly. If you buy a jack socket, they're a similar size to a footswitch. You could un-screw the bolt on the fuzz switch, and then push that switch inside. By taking the back of the pedal off you could insert a jack socket into the fuzz switch hole. If you wire the socket to the wah switch, you can then plug in any normal footswitch to the jack socket to turn the wah on and off.

You could use the hole for the fuzz switch, and put the fuzz switch inside. All you have to do is solder two wires to the jack socket and the other ends to the wah switch.

Right, sorry, I didn't know what the layout of the pedal was. Alternatively, you could drill a hole in the pedal, put a mono jack socket in, and wire it to the wah switch. Then you can use a normal footswitch for an amp to turn it off and on.

I don't know, I think it's a great suggestion! It means you don't have to buy any parts. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='485031' date='May 11 2009, 01:14 PM']Swap the wah switch into the place where the fuzz switch is (supposing this is the same layout as other snarling dogs pedals), so you can switch independant of wah position.[/quote]

red onion are apparently good. If you have a spare pedal casing, make it yourself, if you don't, it's probably not worth it.

yep!

The fact that you don't use the fuzz isn't a problem. If you like the wah, you've got what you need! Get a true bypass loop and you can switch the pedal in and out of your chain independant of where the treadle is.

I bought a load of cables off Max. They arrived on the next working day! Very well packed etc. Cheers!

I want a chorus that will chorus the lows and leave the highs alone. I know i've said this before but no-one knew the answer - is there one out there?

My bassist bought Matt's modded Bronco, I handled most communications etc. I've just opened the package which arrived today. Extremely well packed, the bass is still shining and in tune!! Incredible. Cheers!

This Jamman sounds really useful! We're doing an album at the moment and putting samples in a lot of songs. This could help us put it in the live set!

It's built extremely well, weighs a lot, has been chucked around a lot and has withstood it. I've no idea what the impedence rating is, let alone what they claim is the ouput power. If we were going to blow the speakers, surely we'd have blown them by now? It's been gigged at loud volumes.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='475306' date='Apr 29 2009, 05:44 PM']If it's working for you then it's working. But if you get the chance to offload it for a decent price before it stops working then I'd do so! Alex[/quote] I'm not worried about it breaking, i'm just wondering about the sound of it. To my ears, it's getting miles more out of the peavey than when it's on it's own. Is there another extension cab in the same price range that would suit the peavey even more? Or "get more out of it"? Basically just make the amp louder.

You could have a rack with a sampler and an effects unit, both MIDI controlled from your floor board. 1 DI box at the start of the chain to link to your bass amp, the output of your effects to a guitar amp, the ouput of the sampler to the desk.

I play 6 strings and I tune the E string to drop D. How silly of me! But I also love it.

tBBC - I get why knob tweakers annoy you. I play with a lot of pedals but it takes me 1 minute to set up and I never tweak the knobs. I play with lots of pedals to get a good sound, and I always do. Whether or not the punters actually think "that's a distinctive bass sound!" or not doesn't matter. As a whole band, we sound and play better because we know exactly how to get a good sound within a couple of minutes. Sounding good is important, but being able to set up quickly and all on a stage is equally important.

[quote name='BOD2' post='475807' date='Apr 30 2009, 11:00 AM']A great sounding band makes you want to stop and listen - a crap sounding band just gives you tired ears.[/quote] Exactly - whether you're a musician or a studio engineer or just a friday night punter.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='475800' date='Apr 30 2009, 10:48 AM']It's a shame none of the pissed punters you play to will give a sh*t though. Oh well, I'm sure it massaged your ego all the same.[/quote] They may not care about the sound consciously, but more people will be on the dance floor if the guitars aren't piercing your ear-drums with horrible tinny distortion at maximum volume.

[quote name='iamapirate' post='475336' date='Apr 29 2009, 06:28 PM']haha, probably just me but I really don't like line 6 tones. They just sound like a heavy metal tone (which is what I don;t want). It's that kind of over-the-top chorus flangy-thing that immediateltly goes into a searing hot heavy metal tone. I know for sure that it's that way on guitar, at least.[/quote] There's no such thing as a "Line 6 tone" that's the whole point. You shape your own tone using the Line 6 product. You may not like the options available but clearly you can turn off chorus and distortion and create 100s of tones without any chorus or distortion.
