  1. I'm heading into the studio in a couple of weeks with my band, Quandrant - a heavy rock/ metal/ slightly proggy type originals band. Now, we were working an tempos for a click track and noticed that two of our songs have unintentional tempo changes in them. I've never been a band where this has happened before and it does bother me a bit. Does this mean we should play these songs on 'feel' alone? Just concerned as we'd usually have the drummer use a click track to ensure we get it right but it doesn't look like we can do this here. This recording sesh is costing us all a bomb and we don't want to leave anything to chance. Anyone got any ideas, or has anyone else been in a similar situation? Am I worrying about nothing - pre-recording nerves perhaps? Cheers Ste
  2. After using a Boss CEB-3, Analogman chorus and the chorus effects on the Line 6 M9 I've settled on an EBS Unichorus. I much prefer it to the others and you can nab them for between £60-£80 second hand these days.
  3. It didn't. If you are genuinely interested I'll dig it out and make sure all is ok - its been off my board for ages - which is a shame as it's such a great pedal. Cheers Ste
  4. The Boss LS-2 is the only pedal I've bought - twice. Sold it and regretted it and had to get another one. My preferred use is so that I can trigger multiple effect with one stomp but having the clean blend and volume options are excellent options to have. I've never had a problem using the pedal with a long signal chain - I think its looping about 10 other pedals at the moment - never had any issues. I think the Xotic X-Blender has a phase switch on it. Pricey though.
  5. Can't believe your letting this go mate - I'm not all that keen on Fender's but this ones a beauty, lovely action and tone. I'd take it in a heartbeat but need a new car
  6. I'm looking to place it under my PT-2. (Sorry mods, schoolboy error, wrong forum - can you transfer to the effects forum please, thanks.)
  7. I used to have a Durham Electronics Zia drive which sounded a lot like the bass drive in comp-cut mode, which was my favourite mode of that pedal. The B3k can kop that tone but its over kill - if thats all you want it for, as it's far, far better than that. The Xotic is a great shout as it does sound like the bass drive, from the demo's I've heard, and won't break the bank.
  8. It really is a killer cab. I've had mine just over a year now and still totally love it. I've gone through quite a few cabs over the years and it's easily the best I've used - by a long way! Although I've not tried some high end cabs like Vanderkleys or Bergs.
  9. Aside from a practice amp I only have 1 gigable rig and 1 bass. Although I would like a spare amp for back up.
  10. Will bought a Swollen Pickle from me - he was going to buy it on behalf of a friend, who later pulled out, then he decided to buy it for himself - what a gent. Easy transaction - nice guy too.
  11. Lovely, fuzz with bags of low end in mint nick with box and manual. Will post next day recorded delivery. Cheers.
  12. Bought a pedal off Chris, paid for it late Friday. He volunteered to post it Saturday and it arrives Monday - transactions don't get any better than that. Great doing business with ya!
  13. Zia sold - Meatwad still hanging in there - £110 posted for a brilliant filter pedal that can out quack Johnny Fartpants - thats a real bargain folks!
  14. A quick and easy transaction - thanks Alan. Ste
  15. Damn - can't figure out how to embed the soundcloud tracks!
  16. Zia Drive sold. Price drop on the Meatwead to £110 posted. Definitely selling my favourite pedal - the Meatwad, just not using it in the band I'm currently in. Here's a link to the website which has some great bass samples on there. [url="http://martoneaudio.com/meatwad.htm"]http://martoneaudio.com/meatwad.htm[/url] This unit has been modded to allow for a bypassed fx loop (you can keep dirt on in the fx loop without the filter being engaged). This mod was done my Martin Owen of Owen Electronics. These go for £205 at the moment - without the mod so I'm looking for £120 posted but would prefer trades - see below. Also up for grabs is my trusty Durham Electronics Zia Drive.Seriously love this pedal but have a B3K so this is now redundant. I'm looking for £55 posted for this. I would actually prefer trades than cash but we'll see. I'm after a synth, preferably an old school EHX Bass Micro Synth, and/or a Digitech Whammy IV with cash adjustments depending on what's being offered and condition etc. [ soundcloud ][url="http://soundcloud.com/burno70/meatwad-and-zia-drive"]http://soundcloud.co...d-and-zia-drive[/url][/soundcloud] [soundcloud][url="http://soundcloud.com/burno70/meatwead-clean"]http://soundcloud.co.../meatwead-clean[/url][/soundcloud] [soundcloud][url="http://soundcloud.com/burno70/zia-drive"]http://soundcloud.co...rno70/zia-drive[/url][/soundcloud]

    Line 6 M Series

    The chorus is decent but nothing special; put it this way, I prefer M9 analog chorus to say the thin, metallic Boss chorus but the Ebs chorus is far better. The barberpole phaser - as mentioned above, is a seriously cool effect and probably my favorite on there. The delays are really, really good, tap tempo is always a winner. All IMO of course.
  18. Excellent nick. £80 delivered. With box and manual.
  19. [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1327106293' post='1506647'] No, barely any fuzz has a clean blend, and judging by this video I think there's a reason for that: it just sounds odd. Clean + fuzz doesn't really work (that's my opinion). [/quote] That's not right - there's plenty of fuzzes out there these days with a clean blend, Iron Either, SM/BS, Wounded Paw, Prescription Electronics and Mallekko all do blended fuzz, and thats just off the top of my head. It's all a matter of opinion but blend makes fuzz well useful for bass players. Fuzz by nature can get lost in a live mix and blending clean signal into it can help maintain your presence - whilst still giving you a killer tone.
  20. Another fan of the Super 12T here. My sound has improved so much since I've changed over from Markbass cabs. I've had it 3 months or so now and am still very much loving the tone and power it puts out. Without doubt one of the best decisions, musically, I've ever made.
