Isn't the Diago 18v adaptor just like a lead with a dc socket at one end and a plug at the other, so you can use it with any power supply that has a high enough current rating? The Godlyke Power Pump does the same thing but has adjustable voltage but you can only get em shipped over from the US. I was thinking of getting one of these to power a 12v DHA pedal off of a 9v daisy chain but I'm not sure how well it'd work.

Yeah, I though of getting the kit but for an extra £20 I can get a built VT1 including a power supply. Is the kit the same as the VT1 standard but with an added colour control? It would be fun to try and build it but I know I'm rubbish at soldering. There's a book called 'The Art Of Soldering' available from Maplins if you're in need of some good pointers though!

Boss Line Selector LS-2. Many uses out of this pedal - you can also set the relative volumes of your 2 basses with it too.

Ever seen the Sustainiac before? You get a pedal with an attachable resonator that attaches to your headstock, letting you get feedback/sustain without crazy loud volume. There's even a stomp switch so you can change which set of harmonics should dominate the feedback. Or they do a stealth model where your it's built into your guitar/bass, the signal from the bridge pickup controls an electromagnetic device attached to the neck pickup. Looks interesting, good for drone/noise type stuff... [url="http://www.sustainiac.com"]www.sustainiac.com[/url]

He means more like this: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_music"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_music[/url] You want fuzz and delay at least! A Whammy or Boss PS-3 would be good to to add some whacky pitch shifting to your drones.

Heh, it's a slippery slope... once you've got those you'll 'need' fuzz, wah, flange, phase, delay, etc...

The Aphex pedal is footswitchable! But really, it's meant to be an always-on sound improver. For a boost you should look into some kind of clean boost pedal or subtle overdrive, maybe even an EQ pedal.

I would go for a subtle overdrive - mines always on for a most songs. Zoom B2 has some great amp models in it, well worth a go if you can pick up a cheap second hand one.

Just reverse the polarity. Oh wait, I've been watching too many Hollywood movies...
