    DIY Effects

    in Effects

    Posted

    Busy while there... Built B3K, Vintage Microtubes and EQD Sea Machine clones and a Dunwich designed N.E.W. Bass Overdrive from GCI in the last month or so. While I like the Darkglass thing in moderation, 2 on the board and an AO900 amp is a bit overkill, so I have an Aion Maelstrom kit coming to cover both B3K and Vintage territory. Modulation isn't my thing but the Sea Machine might hang around for a while. 

     

    REALLY like the Dunwich Bass Overdrive (Boss ODB-3 based). So much so I've ordered 3 other Dunwich clone PCBs from effects layouts for myself - Volt Thrower, ODB and Wizard Fuzz.

    Thoughts on a DI box

    The Behringer is perfectly acceptable. A great sounding, cheap alternative to the Sansamp. Virtually the same circuit, just cheaper components. 

     

    Add a used compressor pedal (or Zoom multi-fx) and you've covered pretty much every angle.

    Source Audio C4 *price drop and trade added for BDDI v2* - *SOLD*

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Bigwan

    Source Audio C4 for sale. Not had this long. Sounds outstanding, but using an app for setting the thing up makes me sad. Going back to octave/fuzz/filter. Nowhere near as flexible as this but it's all I need! 

     

    Boxed with leads and psu. Velcro on the bottom.

     

    £170 £160 plus postage at cost or trade for a Sansamp Bass Driver v2. UK sales only.

    Saw Del Amitri in Belfast last night... Suppose I should have posted this yesterday, given the thread title!

     

    Seen them a few times before and they always hit the spot. Justin Currie looking a bit frail though. A bit of a worry for a guy in his late 50s. He never admitted to being much of a bass player but he keeps things pumping along nicely! Good old sing-song had by all!

     

     

    Unpopular Musical Opinions: What are Yours?

    Oasis had a few good tunes, but were tossers that people tired of quickly

     

    Ed Sheeran knows folks who can write catchy tunes, but I'd rather watch paint dry

     

    RHCP have been unlistenable since BSSM

     

    Elton John hasn't been good since the 70s and should have given up 30 years ago

     

    Florence from Florence + the Machine sings flat... All the time! Makes my teeth hurt when she comes on the radio...

     

    I don't like bass as a solo instrument... 

     

    I prefer Jason to Cliff... and Rob for that matter...

     

    >34" scale is not required for a good B string (fairly recent one for me that...)

     

    Stingrays are rubbish...

     

    I'm sure many more will occur to me

    Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

    I've learned that mini pedals can be annoying as there's no standard placement for the connections - so they often don't align and squeeze in closely together. Much bigger pedals with top mounted connections don't actually take up much more room on a board like this e.g. an Aguilar Grape Phaser would probably fit in that Phase 95 slot.

     

    I may have asked this before, but what's the Homer pedal? B3K clone?
