[quote name='Gareth Hughes' timestamp='1347291629' post='1798914'] I've had both of these pedals. The SFT will give you a wide range of overdrive and tone shaping options. The Phat Phuk won't. The Phat Phuk is a great pedal - there is something magical about the tone coming out of it - but I got frustrated that the overdrive side of it was totally dependant on the level of signal coming into it. The control on the pedal is for the output level, not the input level. You can open the pedal up and adjust the bias so that it clips earlier or later, or run your bass thru a boost pedal before going into the Phat Phuk - but that seems extravagant. [/quote] Thanks matey, this is why I was wanting to meet them before handing over sums of money...I'm fairly sure I'll like the SFT but the PPb seems like a 'if it does what I want it'll be amazing but if not then I'll probably hate it' type pedal...

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1347278067' post='1798676'] Tried the VT Bass? I reckon it will cop the Chelsea Dagger sound better than the others (I have all three). [/quote] Hadn't even thought of one of those dannybuoy! hhmmm, just had a quick look and they're not so small are they, I've got space on my board for a PPB and an SFT (cos they're litte!) but not really a VT and a PPB/SFT so unless it can do both sounds without me bending my back inbetween songs I think it's out [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1347278322' post='1798682'] unhelpfully, i'd say go for them both, as once you use the phat B, I think you'll miss it if it's not there, but it's not an o/d pedal [/quote] Sadly I think you've got the answer there Mr GazWills!

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1347276616' post='1798640'] i'm pretty tied up with practises, gigs and recording for a while, so can't really help with a loan, but own a phat phuk and have used an SFT clone for a while so know them both pretty well. They are both completely different pedals though!! What are you wanting them for/to do, specifically? [/quote] Thanks matey I suppose what I'm looking for is probably a 'p-bass with rounds through a valve SVT' type sound if that makes sense? A bit like the intro to 'chelsea dagger' - I'm thinking that maybe the Phat Phuk B for this? ...and then I've got a few other songs that would benefit from a bit of grind without being fuzzed out, mild overdrive I suppose, just to thicken the sound up a bit, I've been using an EBS MultiDrive and it's been ok but a bit one dimensional, I'm wanting a little more warmth without any more drive...would the PPB do this? I'm thinking the SFT might do this?

I'm thinking of getting a Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk B and/or Catalinbread SFT but I'm not sure if they'll do the job I'm wanting them for so I was wondering whether anyone had one I could try (either local to Sheffield or that they'd be willing to post for me to have a noodle with)? Ta

Mando-fun or you could do F# B E A and retain 4ths while still being crazy low...?

So exciting to watch something beautiful being made from rough timber!

Knew I'd seen her somewhere before, another mindless telly thing I think it was...
