[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1334867557' post='1622755'] Bigbeatnut- try calling effectspowersupplies / stompbox [/quote] Oooh, that looks like just the shop for my current obession, thank you. MIght even go for an EWS Bass mid control, too.

Can anyone suggest somewhere in London where I stand a good chance of picking up a pedaltrain nano this weekend ? I'd try Denmark St but I've not noticed pedalboards in those shops before. A TC polytune mini is also on this weekends shopping list if anyone has any bright ideas on that.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1334796945' post='1621573'] This is my idea of Funk..... [/quote] Mine too ... like both versions.

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1334596357' post='1618281'] This is sexy! [/quote] That's the stuff

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1334339799' post='1614947'] surely the harmony setting would be the pitch shifted signal blended with the original? [/quote] I'm pretty sure from the name that it wil be a fixed half and half mix, yes. I'm used to blending in the sub octave at a lower level than that.

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1334324066' post='1614559'] seen the mooer micro series pitch box? does octave down and its only like 55 quid on ebay [/quote] Yes, that's the one that may be disappointing. One report on TB so far, so it's hard to be sure as yet. Still tempted to order it for myself to be sure. But even if turns out to be free of tracking problems, (sounds alright on guitar on the demo video) it's still lacking a blend, and adding dedicated blend pedal makes the whole package bigger than the MXR.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1334303523' post='1613963'] small, but beautiful. [/quote] Thanks, all. Unfortunately the plans I had for an Octaver in that format have just had a bit of a knock-back, so the board looks likely to be completed with an MXR deluxe octave and a polytune mini.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1334263357' post='1613594'] My pathetically small excuse for a pedalboard: [/quote] I'm aiming to get 6 micro pedals (1590A format) onto a pedaltrain nano so mine will be somewhat smaller than that

[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1333032988' post='1596525'] Been rearranging my board a bit today, ... [/quote] What's going on here ?

[quote name='darren' timestamp='1332598248' post='1590500'] I remember the guy in the shop saying it was called electric blue. Not sure if he was making it up though. [/quote] May or may not be what Fender call it but that's what I'd call electric blue.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1332190753' post='1584661'] As its parametric, I couldn't define frequency without an oscilloscope! It's definitely just up from the very low mids [/quote] From the manual at [url="http://ews-us.com/pdf/BMC_manual_eng.pdf"]http://ews-us.com/pdf/BMC_manual_eng.pdf[/url] 7 o’clock : 120Hz 9 o’clock : 160Hz 11 o’clock : 500Hz 12 o’clock : 630Hz 1 o’clock : 800Hz 3 o’clock : 2KHz 5 o’clock : 3KHz If it's "lo-mids" it looks like my reading of 2:00 from your pic was some way off.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1332150925' post='1583821'] As yet, I've not tried it with an active with a mid control, but I do find it can really add emphasis to the envelope filter. [/quote] Interesting .... is it a high-mid boost that make it work well with the EF ? Looks like frequency is at maybe 2:00 on the pic, I think.

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1331945722' post='1581422'] This is the board for m function band. [/quote] How are you finding the BMC ? I'm pondering one, but I'm thinking they're more aimed at passive basses, and for active (with mid knob) they don't add so much.

Is that a re-finned DeArmond Starfire I see ?

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1331199887' post='1569153'] I was expecting to see Gabe Roth on bass, but instead it was a girl introduced as 'Foxy H' or something. She looked pretty cool in a school uniform getup (not in a saucy way) playing her modified P Bass through an Ampeg 8x10 rig. Again, solid and supportive rather than flashy - perfect for that band. Highly recommended. [/quote] Same story last year at the Roundhouse (same girl on Bass I think) ... maybe Gabe Roth doesn't like travelling ?

Hmmm interesting. I'd like to know if it lives up to this: [quote] Whether sitting, standing, close or far field; the sound is the same.[/quote] In a live setting.

[quote name='Alex Spencer' timestamp='1330867458' post='1563974'] I was round a friends using a Tech21 SansAmp Pre-Amp > Electro Harmonix 22 Caliber Power Amp > Trace Elliot 4x12, ... Definitely thinking about investing in an Electro Harmonix 22 Caliber Power Amp though. Pocket sized, fantastic if you need a small rig to take to practise or a small gig and don't want to lug your rack around. [/quote] For a 22 watt amp to be appropriate it would need to be a very quiet gig wouldn't it ? I know I've played small venues with a 90-watt amp (GK MB150) and sometimes struggled a bit, and I once played a blues jam that povided a 50-watt amp and swore never again. I know speaker efficiency has to be taken into account, but still, I'd have thought that 22 watts was just not up to the job of anything including a drummer ... might work with acoustic guitars, I guess ?

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1330803705' post='1563302'] f***ing hell, what a track! [/quote] Good, innit ?

Actually, listening to that again, it's no contest. Haggis Horns it is. And I'll try not do what I did with Trombone Shorty last night ... miss the gig through it being sold out. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4rHy7dp5U[/media]

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1330772677' post='1562714'] Very excited, going to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings on Wednesday with Mrs RR for our anniversary [/quote] For me it would be Friday on London. Trouble is, the Haggis Horns have a gig on the same date and I'm going to find that hard to resist [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSs1FKz_oIQ[/media]
