    Not a very fair comparison as I never tried them with the same speaker cab, but I had an iAmp 350 combo and now have a Markbass CMD121P combo (which has the LMII head built in). I found the iAmp to be sterile and somewhat lacking but the Markbass is much warmer and more musical to my ears. The iAmp does have a much more versatile EQ, but I found myself leaving it flat most of the time but using the Countour 1 switch to get rid of a bit of midrange honk. The Markbass I just leave flat and it sounds great.

    Like I said, it might look unintuitive at first, but what you want to do is split the signal before the Brown Dog input and send that to the 00Funk envelope. A jack splitter on the Brown Dog input might look wrong, but remember at the end of the day they are just electrical connections and it makes no difference whether you split the signal a few inches before the input or directly at the input. It's not like the jack splitter only allows signal to flow in one direction. Here's a pic! You can use the splitter earlier in the chain if you have other pedals before the Brown Dog, in which case put the splitter on the input of the first pedal in your chain. Also, if you have a tuner with dual outputs (eg Boss TU-2, Ibanez LU-20) you can use that as your signal splitter which looks much neater.

    Hey, my instructions were good!!! Think about it - It doesn't matter if you put the splitter on the output of the pedal before, or on the input of the Brown Dog. It makes no difference whatsoever, you are still splitting the signal at the same point. It might look funny but it will work. Make sure you use a mono splitter like the one pictured and not one that's a stereo jack plug to 2 mono sockets though.

    I heard Hosa have now discontinued those so buy em up while you still can! I personally use the EBS connectors when I can, and George Ls if I need something a bit longer:

    All you need to do is split your signal before the brown dog and pump that clean bass signal into the envelope input of the 00Funk. Job done. This is what the Brown Dog's envelope out is anyway, only difference is this connection is broken when the pedal is bypassed. Get one of these: Plug it into the Brown Dog input. Put your bass in one of the sockets, and a patch cable to in the other going to the 00Funk envelope input. Ta-Da! I did this with a Wooly Mammoth and WMD Fatman filter (which has an envelope input) with great results. Alternatively you can re-wire the Brown Dog envelope output to be always directly connected to the input socket instead of going via the footswitch.

    Well it says 16th June for the POG2 - which is next week.

    First time details have ever been revealed about these pedals and it's from a UK dealer?! Anyway: [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/new-products-65-c.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/new-products-65-c.asp[/url]

    In general they have higher tension so you should adjust your truss-rod accordingly. TI's are pretty loose though, whereas Jamerson LaBellas for instance are like bridge cables. If you don't know how to do this then it's worth learning how (be careful) or take it to a pro - if your action is high because your neck is bowed, it's not going to be good for the neck. And more people need to try Pyramid Gold flats, I am loving em!

    Boss LS-2

    dannybuoy replied to silverfoxnik's topic in Effects

    It can do quite a few things... - A/B switch between 2 amps or instruments wit hvolume adjustment for each - Select between 2 different FX loops or have both in parallel. Handy for blending say overdrive and fuzz in parallel, or switching from one to the other without having to tap dance - Blend an effect with your clean signal It can't reverse the order of 2 pedals like the Wobo Inverter, but I don't think that's what you were after anyway? But even when it's bypassed you'll have the Boss buffer in your signal path, which some people are fine with whilst others insist it 'sucks tone'.

    I wouldn't put the comp before the envelope filters unless you're trying to limit the dynamic range of the filter on purpose. Compressor after filter can help tame the wild resonant peaks and protect your speakers too! Fuzz before filter and fuzz after filter are 2 good sounds to have, so I try putting one filter before the Brown Dog and one after. In fact, the 00Funk and Brown Dog can be linked together with an extra cable so that you can have the Brown Dog going into the Funk, but with your clean signal triggering the filter. This is well worth doing. So how about: OctaBass -> BassIQ -> Brown Dog -> 00Funk -> MultiComp -> UniChorus (with Brown Dog envelope out connected to 00Funk envelope in) If the BassIQ doesn't sound too great before the Brown Dog then you can switch em around. It's also worth trying octave after fuzz, which will give you worse tracking but will generate a clean octave underneath the fuzzy higher register which I think sounds great.

    If you send the payment as a gift, you can elect to pay the fees yourself instead of the seller.

    Damn, I would've jumped on that if I'd seen it sooner!

    Position your fingers just behind and touching the fret rather than bang in the middle between frets - this will let you play with half as much pressure and let you play for much longer. I only discovered this tip yesterday and the difference was amazing! Also, if you're using steel rounds, switch to nickel or even half-rounds / pressure-wounds / flats. Some people also swear by Fast Fret, but I've never tried it.

    PCB's

    dannybuoy replied to Al Heeley's topic in Effects

    Eagle CAD make a free version of their software, although you need to download some parts libraries (links somewhere on diystompboxes). It can auto route your PCBs too. For simpler circuits or vero layouts, DIY Layout Creator is great.

    I forgot to add, it also works perfectly with active basses. In fact it works even better with active as it sounds real heavy with a hot signal going into it. I'm busy this weekend but will try and find time to record a clip!

    Bought this here not so long ago out of curiousity, but have decided it's not for me so would rather pass it on to fund more GAS induced purchases! It has 2 controls, blend and texture. Blend is a clean blend so you can have it full on fuzz or just a hair of distortion behind your clean bass sound. Texture is plain fuzz at the far right and nasty octave up fuzz at the far left. Because of the blend you can have the octave up fuzz (which sucks lows) and blend the lows back in from the clean signal. A nice trick I found was to play very softly high up on the neck with 60/40 blend and texture about halfway, it sounds like a guitar due to the octave up - then dig in hard and the clean blended sound then becomes relatively louder than the fuzz so it's like a bass kicks in to join the guitar - sound like two instruments! Here's the product page: [url="http://www.freewebs.com/paisleypedals/paisleyquasar.htm"]http://www.freewebs.com/paisleypedals/paisleyquasar.htm[/url] Excellent condition (just 2 [i]miniscule[/i] paint chips) and £80 new, yours for £45 posted!

    Lots of people rave about the VMJ, I bought one hoping to upgrade my Yamaha RBX270F with something a bit nicer. I personally couldn't get on with the ebanol fingerboard, and it didn't play or sound as nice as the Yamaha, so I sold the Squier and kept the Yam. Made me realise what a great instrument my old Yam is, it was my first ever bass too!

    A Markbass rep posted on Talkbass today and said the synth was still being tweaked and refined, so don't expect to see it for a while yet. He didn't mention any of the other pedals though.

    Lee4 - your avatar is like an optical illusion. I thought it looked like an old bald man with a big nose, pointy chin and wobbly neck until I realised there was a hat!
