    ABY pedals

    sk8 replied to indiegrungesound's topic in Effects

    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='Atomic dustbin' timestamp='1488218761' post='3246918'] Thanks again to everyone for the replies. The sfx H1 looks like it fits the bill. Now I need to get practising..... [/quote] It really is fantastic.

    [quote name='VTypeV4' timestamp='1487765294' post='3242533'] Sounds like you found a winner here, fella, nice one. [/quote] Yeah fingers crossed! [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... [/quote] If it lasts I might retube it with something decent

Gives my rhythm octave up to fill out solid, bass dirt and synthy octave

    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!

    Clone of the EQD Acapulco Gold. Basically a cranked Sunn Model T.

    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.

    [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1486383763' post='3231239'] Looks like the amp will be able to kick it out in terms of volume then, and probably fairly clean too. [/quote] That would appear to be the case. Real world experience will tell
