I've been eyeing them up also, I'd like to compare one to the Geddy Lee!

It departed Heathrow yesterday, so could be a couple of days unless it gets stuck in customs...

Although GAK have one listed on eBay for £399! Perhaps they only have very limited stock and are taking a chance there's some big Steve Harris fans out there... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372823662795

The £399 must surely be a mistake, if Guitar Guitar are listing them for £299.

Let's just say I'll be very surprised if there's any taxes to pay!

Cost me about £237 all in. Direct currency conversion was £227, but PayPal don't offer great conversion rates. Next time I'll shop around for alternative credit card options with better rates!

There you go Ashdown, you should bump your prices up and offer free shipping instead, it works for Barefaced!

Didn't realise this, all the previous Squiers I've seen have had 60s positioning. When I hear a 60s vs 70s Jazz on YouTube, etc, I always prefer the 60s. Although I would like to get to a shop one day and compare a Geddy Lee or other 70s style to the rest!

Another option - my preference is to use the Octabvre Mini for a solo'd sub sound, and an Octamizer for a blended octave. I love the Octabvre soloed, but it's quite midrangey and doesn't blend as well with a clean tone as the Octamizer does. The Aguilar goes a lot deeper, and with its filter controls (LPF on the sub and HPF on the clean) you can make adjust the two voices so that they blend nicely and don't step on each other's toes.

I'd personally put the FI earlier, just after the octave - like the octave, it's a signal generator that tracks your playing. It'd also be cool to be able to fuzz that up and filter it.

Just had a go on my Joyo American Sound again, and no noise major issues. I must have been thinking about the Orange Juice. Certainly a good contender for a budget version of the SH1, especially for the warmer Jamerson/Lynott settings. Can’t say much for sure until I get to compare them side by side though!

Have you tried the one from the legacy effects? That one's not bad, but still no Octamizer I agree!

They seem to be on the ball when it comes to real time stock levels, I don’t think you can add something to the cart they don’t have. Anyway, I’m convinced they have stock due to the fact that I have a tracking number! 🤤

The Joyo American Sound and Orange Juice both have a lot of hiss compared to the Tech21 products, which only exhibit noise when you crank the gain.

In stock here for anyone that can't wait for them to show up on these shores - they have a tendency to offer discounts when asked nicely via online chat also btw! https://www.prymaxe.com/products/tech-21-steve-harris-sh1-signature-sansamp

Have you had any of the other Tech21 pedals? I reckon the VT Bass would do a good job of that.

In that case, if you want to keep it simple, stick to lemons: One will provide you just shy of 0.9V. So 10 of those in series will give you 9V, then arrange enough of those in parallel to give you enough mA for the Stomp. This should do it:

You can still have one cable to the wall - just a standard USB charger. If you add a battery to your pedalboard, you can treat it like a laptop, i.e. leave it plugged in most of the time so you don't have to worry about the battery, but unplug whenever you need to be mobile! However, if you're looking to power a HX Stomp from a battery, you'd have to invest in a rather large one!

Probably not, the DP-3X isn't. They couldn't use phantom power for the Bass Fly Rig because it had digital effects that drew too much power. But it would've been nice if the all analog ones had it, unless the tuner takes up a lot of mA?

BB615 is active!

I honestly could not give a flying fig about the name on the pedal. I'd never heard of Dug Pinnick before his amp and pedal came out, and never listened to a Rush album before the GED2112 / YYZ came out. Yet I bought both pedals for the tone and features they offer, and will likely do the same with the SH1 even though I've never listened to an Iron Maiden album. I guess I'm more of a Tech21 fan than a Dug/Geddy/Steve fan!

They probably received the same typo as posted earlier in this thread. Guitar Guitar have opened pre-orders at £299 - let's hope it's not them who made a mistake, cos they won't sell many of these at £399 when you can import from overseas at $299.

I'd verify with Truetone that it will in fact give you 200mA at 9V from a 100mA 18V output. I know voltage * current = power, but it's not quite so simple as that. Their website only says 100mA max, which suggests 9V at 100mA: https://truetone.com/1-spot-accessories/ V189 - 5.5 x 2.1mm plugs. Converts 18V to 9V on 1 SPOT Pro power supplies and most other brands. Handles up to 100mA. I'd either use the 500mA output, or use a Y cable on two of the 100mA outputs. Then again, it might run fine on a 100mA output alone, depending on your power supply (which one is it?), but that could be risky depending on how gracefully the power supply handles an overload situation!

He broke a string. He'll probably break a nut soon also with that break angle!

They do look handy in that they offer a switch as well as the expression in one unit. Saves tapdancing to turn a wah on or off! They also seem to offer a specialised pedal for nearly every brand going. I just looked up the specs for their Kemper / Eleven / Line6 models for example, all are 10K linear pots with a momentary switch, but otherwise look indentical. The cynic in me says it's a marketing ploy to sell more pedals - you'll choose Mission because they designed a pedal just for your unit, then you'll buy a different unit and end up buying a 2nd Mission pedal for that one!
