  1. ...and me only 15 miles away on my holibobs... Pity I couldn't secrete it about the car for the journey home... Edit: drove right past Bingley this morning on the way to the National Coal Mining Museum too...
  2. V-moda make seriously good earphones. I've been using the same set of V-moda crossfades for 10 years and they're brilliant!
  3. Not to criticise the reviewer too much but I'm not sure how you can tell that from 10 or 12 notes played at each setting and with ZERO change in playing style and timbre usually required for octave/tracking effects. I'd need hands on myself to make any kind of informed choice. A decent side-by-side with a Zoom B1FOUR would make for an interesting review...
  4. There was me looking at something completely different like a numpty...
  5. That's a great looking wee thing... @franzbassist kind of makes the HX One look even worse for bass use!
  6. The 85 is a straight-up DI, it won't handle the output of an amp. It goes between the bass and amp. Wrong - looking at the wrong product altogether It sounds like what you're after is a preamp with some tonal control. If you nip over to the effects forum you'll find plenty of options mentioned. Nicest I've tried in a while is the Origin Effects Bassrig Super Vintage, which is Ampeg-flavoured, but they also do a Fender-flavoured one, the Bassrig '64. Sounds like it could be exactly what you're after. Quality items. If you want the sound of your amp, you could consider something like the Two Notes Torpedo Captor which is a load box that goes between your amp and speaker cab and provides a DI output
  7. Pointless form factor... I know there are people who will think it's what they've been looking for their whole playing career, but I would imagine they're few and far between. I just don't see the point of it given the price. The sacrifice in flexibility from any of the other HX/Helix line is crazy. Even if you could run a couple of effects at once I could see the allure, but just one for £250 quid? Granted it's cheaper than a Noble... but still... Nope...
  8. No, that's what would happen to me if I were to contemplate a collection of Spectors at the minute...
  9. Got me thinking of another RC Booster build @Gareth Hughes! Or maybe a BB Preamp that I haven't done before...
  10. That's the newer version of the Trilogic, Fuzzdog's clone is the v1 so you don't get sweepable mids and selectable bass/treble frequencies. Maybe someday...
  11. It's a clone of the EWS/Xotic Trilogic. Loads of youtube videos. Here's Michael Rhodes (RIP) demoing one, but there are plenty of others
  12. Takes some digging but it's 12v DC @ 1 amp (1000 mA)
  13. Of the amps you've reviewed @JGSpector, which would you pick if you could only have one? I haven't read all your reviews but I'm leaning towards trimming all my equipment down to a single amp, single cab and a couple of basses. The Bergantino Forte is top of my GAS list so interested in your take.
  14. I know the white ones on the previous page are IKEA (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/mosslanda-picture-ledge-white-40291766/), not sure about others...
