Yes, definitely loving this. Spoke to Richard Ruse about a pedal like this after I got my Trickfish rig. Sadly Richard passed away recently but hopefully Trickfish will continue to grow and do the guy proud. Will probably cave and get one when they're available, especially with all those routing options!

I also have an Alpher bass elite passive 5 string in the works. Crotched English Walnut top on a swamp ash body, roasted/flamed neck with rocklite fingerboard and nordstrand big split and big man pickups with him some crazy pickup switching options! The wait is a killer tho, I just want it now!! haha

Picked this up a few weeks ago whilst over in California. I was previously a great fan of the EBS multicomp before selling it to use the compressor on my eden wt600 and then eventually compressor free using my trickfish rig. I was sold on it by Janek Gwizdalas little demo on youtube and also the few Miura demo videos with a few other well known bass players, just sounded what I was after from a compressor and decided it was worth taking advantage of my time in the states. I had considered the FEA labs Opti-fet but it just seemed that I would disappear down a compression rabbit hole trying to find the right setting! AFAIK Miura is Xotic but under a different new name, I think the guy had sold xotic and started Miura, which would explain the artists using his gear! It really is an incredible compressor. So far I've found it very natural and warm sounding even at high ratio/fast attack settings without doing that overly squashed tone that I've experience on many previous compressors and remaining noise free. On subtle "normal" settings I would say the compression is very transparent as in you can't really hear the squash of the notes but at the same time it really does open up your bass tone adding warmth and clarity to the higher notes whilst evening everything out naturally. It's quite strange because you put it on and you think "it's not really doing much' and then you turn it off and you suddenly notice a huge difference between your bass with and without the m2 I have no idea if it's a VCA or optical compressor or whatever, but it does remind me a lot of a buzz optical compressor that was in the studio I once worked at. Just thought I'd share my thoughts on it if anyone is looking for a new compressor or thinking about buying one

Haha - I wish, can't afford it. Sadly it was a case of me replying on my phone and not remembering if I pressed sent.

Yep pretty much as cuzzie says! I'm using one trickfish 210v cab and no volume problem at all - usually running the head at a little over half way on the volume control

Ampeg, Orange would sound great. Make sure whatever you get that you can defeat the tweeter on it as it can get a bit harsh and unpleasant especially when the amp starts to break up... I found sealed tweeterless cabs sounded better and more solid

Also it wasn't like I had gone through amps for fun, I used ampeg stuff for a number of years and then switched to orange for 6 years and then went to Eden but weight over tone was the reason I started to search again. I had ashdown and hartke rigs before using ampeg and had a EA micro for dep and local gigs... Everything else I used as rented back line at some point when what I wanted wasn't available!
