    Got a Noble DI coming in and need to shift some gear to cover the costs. Bought this to use in my dual rig. Great head with built in powersoak and Redbox DI. Three channels so can go from clean crunch to screaming leads. Inslcudes H&K Footswitch althouhg this appears temperamental (think lead a bit dodgy). Comes with padded carry bag and mains lead. This one has the NOS sovtek power tubes.

    Got a Noble incoming so need to raise some money to offset against it! Great preamp that I have used with both my Piezo Godin and Electric basses. Comes with Tuner, Comp and boost and a very good EQ. Equally at home with other instruments and the EQ can be switched between Guitar and Bass. !0meg Ohm input so works really well with Piezos. Seen good reviews form Double bass users. Details [url="https://www.fishman.com/products/series/platinum/platinum-pro-eq-analog-preamp/"]here[/url] Boxed and in very good condition.

    Originally bought this to power my board and Radial Bassbone OD. Don't have the Bassbone any more and everything else I have is 9 volt plus I have a Noble Inbound so this needs to go to fund that. Details [url="http://cioks.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39"]here[/url] Great quiet supply and excellent for powering digital pedals due to the isolation. Comes with all cables and box plus I have a longer mains cable I will include as well as the original. Looking for £135 Delivered in mainland UK Will get photos up later.

    I had a dual set up and used en EHX Switchblade+. Great little pedal that allowed me to have either the Bass or Guitar rig solo'd or both together. Cheap and cheerful

    Just picked one of these up. Hoping it will end my Pre hunt!

    Okay so some more time with this amp today at home. Interesting observation (at least for me!). It would appear when using the master volume on the back the amp overdrives easier. Bypassing it and just using the gain on one has a much cleaner sound for the same input. Practice Sunday so will get a better idea of this new found info.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1487766152' post='3242547'] The good news is that bugeras seem either to fail early, or carry on running... One of my guitards is very happy with his...

    had some more time with this head yesterday, albeit at home and not in a band/gig scenario. My main aim was to work out how to get a DI 'out of it'. In the end using an isolator xlr John @ Orchid Electronics made me on the effects loop send with the -10db switch selected provided a nice sound to my little desk. The Orchid classic DI elicited the same results. Although not tapping the output tubes its got enough tube vibe for the minimal times I need to DI. I can always DI off my board pre amp but wanted to tap into the valve loveliness! I also put some effects through it and they sounded mighty nice, mainly dirt and octave. I also played with the gain, admittedly I didn't get round to trying it in the low input but Channel 2 high gets dirty, very quickly after 5

    Not sure if this is appropriate here but thought I would give my thoughts on the [url="https://www.fishman.com/products/series/platinum/platinum-pro-eq-analog-preamp/"]Fishman Platinum Pro EQ DI[/url]. I don't play Double bass but I do use a Godin A4 Ultra with piezo bridge and i've found the fishman to be a fantastic tool. The 10 Meg Ohm input really tames the piezo honk and the compressor is surprisingly useful and effective for something with one knob. EQ is great and the Low cut is a massive help as is the parametric mid plus brilliance great for getting rid of string squeek! Phase and notch can be an essential depending on the gig. Tuner accurate and the boost is an nice addition. I've been using it on my electric basses too. Worth checking out if you have Piezo pick ups

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1487419270' post='3239644'] I'm interested in one of these, Overhang looks to be an issue. [/quote] Not if you have a big enough cab!

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1487418239' post='3239635'] Sorry to burst the bubble a bit here but back in 2012 our guitarist bought 2 off these for our Deep Purple tribute band and both failed in same way. Lost the volume after a lot of weird crackling od noises. They both went within a few weeks of each other while being used in rehearsal studios. We weren't too impressed with them altho the tone from them was pretty impressive for such a cheap amp. He sent them back, got full refund and then bought himself a 2nd hand Marshall head of some model i can't really remember now. Hope yours is a lot better. Certainly looks good with the chilli cab and from your feedback sounds good too. I'm looking forward to updates on it. Dave [/quote] At this price point failure is always an issue Just over £300 for an all valve amp is insane!

    Fantastic little blend pedal. Essentially allows you to put anything in the loop and decide how much clean to mix in with the dirt or whatever is in the loop.
