    oh and it sounds really nice. punchy but clear. Not got a bypass switch in it so can't A/B it- whoops!

    I just know it's not my skill... same with painting a room, I'll paint a large room in 10% of the time my wife would take - but I'm hopeless at cutting in neatly. My day job is as a designer and the idea of solving the problem and designing everything in on one PCB appeals to me. It's a Frog FX1 https://frogpedals.com/index.php/product/frog-tube-preamp-fx1-ruggedized/ which is essentially a Fender Dual Showman / Alembic F2b Preamp preamp running at 450v inside

    It only bloody works!! currently using the only tube I have (telefunken German ECC82) which sounds nice and warm - a lot less gain than a 12ax7/ECC83 would have - it will also take 6n1p and 6n2p so if I want to get into tube rolling I could

    I always forget how much I hate off board wiring
  9. you mean you are actually learning music instead of just faffing around with gear?
  10. I sold my HX stomp because I just didn't want to use digital interfaces and the time needed for playing bass - so I can understand that. I got a a C4 synth because for the odd thing I could, I plan to load it with a set of presets that I probably won't ever touch the settings on to make it less complex... but then need to buy or build a USB midi switcher to change between patches... so more complex! (or expensive if I bought one)
  11. @disssahas in a B
  12. I’ll just leave this here for everyone ( @fretmeister excepted) Compressed pineapple Thread over I guess.
  13. I got one recently, only just started playing with it - it’s good, v good.
  14. +1 I was all set to get a cali76 based on reviews, and sound clips … then I got to try one and it was instant dislike … esp side by side with a spectracomp which I liked
  15. And this which has slightly newer ones https://www.compressorpedalreviews.com/ On my shortlist empress bass cali76 atlas and ended up getting an Omnicomp
  16. Should of waited for this thread before I bought ouwt! to be fair I think it was the size of the dano that put me off - the valtone clone of the ce-1 was also tempting and fairly cheap
  17. I hopefully bought a chorus this week (with the risk of fb purchasing, fingers crossed it shows up) this thread is a week or so old and quite helpful https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ok-for-the-millionth-time-best-bass-chorus-pedal.1581647/
  18. Not easy to find though
  19. limited edition one too!
  20. bought a pedal before breakfast - this pedal board build thing is getting expensive! "replace my HX stomp with a few pedals" didn't stay that simple....

      Trying to buy a 2nd hand HX stomp that isn't £25 quid off the new price is also a pain :D

      I sold mine a few weeks back for £300 - stick a wanted post up on here, I replied to one to sell mine

  21. ah cool. I have a colour box that gives the transformer sound.... I can't describe what it sounds like, but I can tell when it's not there!
  22. what's it for? decoupling the instrument?

    125B I guess from the spacing of the jacks ?
  24. I found these yesterday... no idea what they are like and can't find any reviews but similar size to square plugs. EBS gold are thinner https://www.amazon.co.uk/Units-Effects-instrument-Eminence-Connectors/dp/B09SWHPKLT/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2LHC5FE69XWB2&keywords=WORLDS+BEST+CABLES+mini&qid=1666704530&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIyLjIyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=musical-instruments&sprefix=worlds+best+cables+mini%2Cmi%2C107&sr=1-8
