  1. The Triumvirate by VLE seems to have similar features. The Wounded Paw range of pedals and amps do the distorting of different frequency ranges. I believe they are Canadian. I'm always interested to see what Ashdown puts out in pedal form. Mostly because they make monumental screwups every time... Form factor was awful on their first series, and reports were... Meh... Except for the Lomenzo Hyperdrive (still my favourite drive pedal of them all) and the Nate Mendel signature pedal. And the insistence of retaining the USELESS VU meter... It's not REALLY a USP if it doesn't work that well... The Dr Green ones had inputs and outputs reversed compared to seemingly every other pedal on the market - later corrected, but again "meh" reports of most of them, and uninspiring video demos... The Stuart Zender signature valve envelope filter... HOW MUCH? And now these. Still pretty big pedals by the look of them, but time will tell how they perform. Multiple different compressor types is an interesting approach. A bit 20th century compared to the likes of the latest Darkglass offering though. Interested to see prices though.
  2. These sound very good from the clips I've heard. Followed the development process over on that other bass site where they talk about bass.
  3. Bought some GZR pickups from Joseph. And all was well!
  4. That triple shot blended drive may be of interest... 3 compressors?! Better enclosure sizes then their old pedal range and lost the silly USP VU meter.
  5. If we're talking valve pres the Jule Monique seems to be very highly thought of. Arkham Sound make nice looking B15-based preamps. If I were buying it'd be one of those 2 I'd be going for.
  6. Personally I'm not a huge fan of just fuzz on bass, full stop. There, I said it. BUT my mastotron/T65 combination Terminator pedal, from Tom at COG effects, in the effects loop of my old 3Leaf GR2 was synth heaven! Amazing sounding combination...
  7. Having owned a Tecamp Puma 212 combo in the past, I'm a little jealous!
  8. Let's not forget the extra fret you're getting for free...
  9. @dannybuoy's comments are specifically on the Wooly Mammoth and its clones. The Mastotron DOES have impedance matching and works pretty well in line with other pedals/active basses... At least the clone I built did! As an aside I notice that the Fuzzdog Fat Furry Freak Wooly Mammoth clone kit now comes with the option of a SHOVE control. So you can build your own PCB-based MASTOTRON-a-like for 40 odd quid. Zvex prices are eye-watering...
  10. My ACG 5 string has 2 P pickups. Alnico P in P position, reversed ceramic P in bridge position.
  11. As supplier of said CTM15 I can confidently attest to the fact that it isn't a patch on the LB30... You can thank me for the GAS later!

    Colour us surprised! 😀
  13. Getting the same ads on Android but they're not obscuring anything... Just peppered about the threads in unexpected places. Distracting...
  14. These are SPECTACULAR pedals! IMO they're better than the Wonderlove that came afterwards...
  15. Oi! Get to the back of the queue!!
  16. Keep us posted Mike. Can't believe you got it for that price!
  17. Going by the sound clips Carey has up on Instagram and elsewhere, this thing well sell like hotcakes. Sounds AMAZING!
  18. I have EB Cobalts on my P and they are VERY nice. Just got some NYXLs in post from the D'Addario giveaway so I'll be putting those on my ACG soon.

      A timeless classic. Sat in the DeLorean at a technical conference I was at in Austin in April. The resizing jacket and hoverboard were there too. Got pics but lost them when I had to reset my work iphone for forgetting the pin code I reset while in an inebriated state on same said trip...

      Entirely unrelated Luke! 

      As in yes it's for a bass, no it's not ACG related!

  20. An ACG bass, the forthcoming Arkham Sound amp and 2 x Barefaced Two10s.
  21. OK, so with the acres of available space, why so close together? THAT does not make ANY sense!
  22. And the worst control layout ever! WTF is going on there?!
  23. @Black Coffee Where is it Mike? And do they have more than one? And can I have first refusal when you sell it?
