Okay here's the latest incarnation of my nano board. Despite the tempting looking gap I don't think I'll get an eighth pedal on there without something hanging over the edge

They first appear on a big board at bottom left, a silver pedal and a white one next to a pandora px4b, later on there are a couple more white ones and a green one. I think one of the white ones was a hyperpak, but for the rest I have no idea. [/quote] Okay, I think I have 'em sussed. All Catalinbread. Valcoder Hyperpak - Dirty Channel V8 - Fuzz Tone Engine Phaeton Serrano Picoso Was I right ?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1340019094' post='1697606'] I'd be very interested in adding the Green Mile, Hustler, Black Secret, Ultra Drive and Metal Blade pedals to the 'must try' list! [/quote] Why stop there ? You missed out the Blues Crab, Flex Boost and Cruncher from Mooer's boost/overdrive/distortion range

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1339969572' post='1697130'] What a shame you can't balance the voices... [/quote] Yep, that's definitely the big problem with that pedal for me. Malekko may still produce the 'Down' pedal they announced at 2011 NAMM. Apparently some of the pedals announced at that time are still trickling out.

It looks like this thread has become a general Mooer pedals review place, so I thought you might like to know about my Hustle Drive. I've it for a few days now, so it seems like time to post a few thoughts on it. Caveats here: (1) I'm pretty new to distortion and overdrive effects in general and (2) my goals for overdrive and distortion might be a bit unusual, I'm usually looking for something to thicken up, or vary, my sound a bit, not a full-on distortion effect. My tone ideal (without effects ) is the sound I get from ancient (5+ year old) set of flats ... nice and muted/thumpy So ... the Hustle Drive. It's allegedly an OCD clone but comparing it to the youtube videos I've seen it's maybe in the same ballpark, but not quite there. Comparing it to the pedals I have, it's closest to the [sfx] Black Dragon, that is, it's definitely in distortion territory, a harsher sound than overdrive. In LP mode and with drive set to middle through to high, it's clearly in the same ballpark as the Black Dragon. With drive set from middle through to low, it's possible to set it up so it's touch sensitive. With a bit of care with the built-in tone control, you can get something that approximates to the 'fliptop' settings on a Tech21 VT Bass. Close-ish, but not spot on. The biggest negative on this pedal is that the volume control is quite sensitive ... for the sounds I like, and with an active bass, the unity gain setting is between 8:00 and 9:00. Finnicky to get right with that tiny control, but of course the tiny control does mean that you're unlikely to knock it off your chosen setting once you've found it. So far, I've not mentioned the HP mode ... reason is, I personally didn't get on with it. Best left to someone else to comment I think. The manual suggests it's got a bass boost, plus a progressive treble boost as the drive is turned up. I'm not sure the 'bass' boost is what a bass-player would call 'bass', but I couldn't figure out what the selected frequency was, only that the sound didn't work for me. Given I'm not finding the HP mode useful, I'm now wondering if I should remove the switch, in order to mount larger knobs on the volume and tone controls and get back a bit of ease of adjustment on the volume control. Overall ... I'm happy with it, and it will have a place on my board as soon as I have a daisy chain that copes with more than 6 pedals. Yep ... I'll have 7 1590A pedals on my pedaltrain nano Andy

[quote name='pnts' timestamp='1329299296' post='1540116'] Anyone tried it with bass? [/quote] Nobody ?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1338935157' post='1681503'] It's not too aggressive on the octave down. Much smoother than the OC2, a little more like the EBS Octabass... [/quote] Mmmmm .... I'm see-sawing back towards no-buy. I may end up with an MXR BOD after all, even if it does spoil my all-1590A board. Unless anyone knows where I can get one of these of course ? [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/malekko/omicron/down"][/url] I'm not sure that they were ever on the market, if they were, they were discontinued pretty quick.

[quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1339012409' post='1682504'] I think this is my new favorite board on here! What's the box on the top right? [/quote] [url="http://www.zzounds.com/item--XTDXDS95"]Line 6 X2 XDS95 Digital Wireless Instrument System[/url].

Thanks Phil & Shep. Look forward to vids or audio clips, sounds like the Pitch Box may suit my needs. Would like to know how growly or OC2-like it can get ...

Quite apart from the neck, I'd really like to know his justification for classifying this frankenbass as "Item condition: New other"

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1337204062' post='1657229'] Feel sorry for the person with the winning bid. I looked at his other items for sale to see if he was flogging an unused bridge centering tool, but no [/quote] There's no way to tell the guy to withdraw his bid, is tnere ? I wonder if I posted a question to the [s]buyer[/s] seller "that neck looks misaligned, can you tell me if you found it a problem ?" that he'd actually make the Q&A public ?

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1337414502' post='1659454'] The OCD in me says you need a set square!!! [/quote] They won't stay straight ... no velcro yet, just checking the layout.

I still have to wire up the daisy chain and velcro it down, but you get the idea .... So tell me, when it comes to velcro, is there any good reason to do spiky side on pedals, soft side on board, or the other way round ... or doesn't it matter at all ?
