So tell me, when it comes to velcro, is there any good reason to do spiky side on pedals, soft side on board, or the other way round ... or doesn't it matter at all ? [/quote] The OCD in me says you need a set square!!! Sweet little collection!

I emailed Dunlop yesterday about getting a schematic for the broken MXR bass octave (not the deluxe version) I bought here last week... They don't hand out schematics, even for obsolete pedals.... Their tech support manager says he'll talk me through repairing it, but using email and the time difference that'll take FOREVER! With a schematic I could find the problem in no time (comparatively). Most other companies don't have an issue. Grrrr...

All these are why that b*****d Cowell has shows on tv...

...So that's where my old RB5 went after NJE. Great bass. One that got away...

Very sad... Blues Brothers and a cold one this afternoon I think...

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1336734953' post='1650142'] aha! indeed, that sounds like a great mod to the micro QTron with its volume bump... and I only ever used it on Low Pass anyway... I must try this with the Bassballs... when I gather the courage to open it up and mess with it [/quote] Give me a shout if you're stuck and I'll offer any assistance I can.

Great song for anyone who's ever flown with an instrument. If I recall correctly the outcome from this was good for him and bad for United - always nice to see the little guy winning one for a change!

Just bought an (advertised as non functioning) MXR bass octave from Alex. Arrived very quickly! These are the sort of transactions that make basschat what it is. A pleasure from start to finish. Cheers mate! Now where's the soldering iron...

Limiter? Rubbish!!! It's an easy mod. Don't put the pot just before the output jack - that'll control both effected and uneffected signals. You want to put the volume pot between the output of the circuit and the footswitch so you're only controlling the effected volume. Done this a few times with mini qtrons (actually have one in my work bag returning it to Gareth Hughes of this parish today - although for this pedal I removed the rotary switch, hardwired the pedal to low pass and put the new volume pot where the rotary switch was - stealthy, makes the pedal much more useable and there's no change in tone that I can hear).

+1 to all the above...

Keep an eye out for a Johnny Shread Freak power supply. It's a copy of a Diago. I bought one from Shep/pantherairsoft recently for VERY little money and it's a great wee PSU.
