    [quote name='mattyb' timestamp='1406109093' post='2508333'] Finally settled on this set up, signal chain goes: Bass : Jazz 5 > Pedalboard : TU2 > GR2 (Octamizer > Big Muff in the loop) > Rat tail > MXR Chorus > M5 > Milkbox > BDPG > Preamp : Avalon U5 > Amp : Ashdown LB30 [/quote] I've been wanting to see this board great setup!

    Don't start! I shudder to think how much money I've spent on pedals... I use a bog standard Boss PSU with a Mooer daisy chain I picked up off ebay and never had any issues. A fuzz is probably a fun place to start

    *RESOLUTION* Cheers for the input guys, I got my replacement switch in the post yesterday. Short story - seems to have fixed it! I've not managed the neatest job, so don't think I'll be selling this one on, it's a great pedal so hopefully that will be ok the guts were rehoused and it was trickier to get the board out than I expected. Also, my tools were playing up so getting the old one off wasn't as easy as it should have been and a couple of the tracks got damaged. I ran a couple of little jumper wires from the switch to the appropriate parts of the PCB to get around this. I had it working out of the case and when I reassembled, the distortion circuit wasn't working but the clean blend was. The PCB is held in place by the foot switch and I think it was a little too close to the top of the enclosure, moving the nut on the foot switch to give more room has fixed this. Bit of a hassle, but all's well that ends well I guess

    [attachment=167039:photo.JPG] LAST CHANGE. Couldn't resist a rehoused B:Assmaster that came up here, never thought I'd get one of those on a nano! My band has been on a bit of a hiatus recently and we had our first practice in a while last night - I have acquired quite a lot of new gear since we last practiced so it was a good time for a fuzz-off (Bluebeard, Team Awesome Fuzz Machine and Assmaster if you didn't see my other posts here). The Assmaster took it but it was pretty close, I think the other guys in the band thought I was crazy as the three sounded pretty similar to them Besides the fuzz though, I am sooooo happy with this little setup, sounded really good through a pretty crap amp in the rehearsal space! The switch on the Assmaster is a little dodgy and I'm waiting on a replacement coming in the post, if I manage to do something extremely stupid soldering that on I might be in the market for a new fuzz but if all goes well, I think I'm done! I've said that before a couple of times but I've tried so many now and nothing is even tempting to me, I like having such a small board so that forces me to stick to essentials

    Wait, this is on the Bluebeard. Haha, I should go to bed! Jeeeeeeeez

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1405725269' post='2504842'] Look at the bottom edge of the PCB! [/quote] Ah! It all makes sense, I didn't click but I did notice that when I was trying the buffer switch thing you mentioned before P.S. Checked them out on Spotify, pretty good!

    Major cash shortage has forced me to cut my fuzz collection down to 1. Here's a couple of fine fuzz pedals for your consideration: [b][font=Muli, sans-serif]Smallsound/Bigsound T[/font][font=Muli, sans-serif]eam Awesome! Fuzz Machine £WITHDRAWN (sorry)[/font][/b] [font=Muli, sans-serif]In my continued effort to waste as much money as possible paying import tax, I recently picked this up from a very pleasant chap on talkbass.com, I was seduced by the rather groovy artwork (light up baby eyes!) which I believe to be a one in ten limited edition sold originally by bassefx.com. Gnarly fuzz with a clean blend, sounds fantastic but I have clean blended fuzz covered by another pedal so had to make a tough choice. The second switch engages a gate and also maxes out the fuzz setting, pretty useful for kicking it up another notch. Great condition with velcro on bottom.[/font] [font=Muli, sans-serif]Official info: [/font][url="http://www.smallsoundbigsound.com/products/team-awesome-fuzz-machine/"]http://www.smallsoun...e-fuzz-machine/[/url] [b][font=Muli, sans-serif]S[/font][font=Muli, sans-serif]anford & Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz £SOLD[/font][/b] I think I'm really going to regret this one as I have only ever seen one of these for sale in the UK and snapped it up so I doubt I'll ever be able to get another but money is, indeed, too tight to mention. This is a legendary muff clone very popular with people of the stoner/doom persuasion. Badass muff pretty much covers it. This one is #593 and has the tone bypass switch. Unfortunately the pen has worn off a fair bit from the bottom of the pedal (as pictured) but when I first got it I couldn't resist having a peek inside and there is no doubt this is the genuine article, complete with piece of the Heavy Metal Parking Lot! Sounds great, good condition (apart from the pen) and has velcro on the bottom. Sad to see this go. Official info: [url="http://testxxx000.blogspot.co.uk/"]http://testxxx000.blogspot.co.uk/[/url] As mentioned, I'm pretty skint so no trades please. Bank transfer or Paypal are fine. Any questions please ask Thanks! [attachment=167005:image.jpeg] [attachment=167007:image_2.jpeg] [attachment=167006:image_1.jpeg]

    Had my first band practice in ages tonight, and the first with the VT bass. The bass amp in the room was some kind of Ashdown thing into a Hartke cab, I wasn't particularly impressed with it. VT Bass into the effects return, BOOM, awesome tone! Happiest I've ever been with my sound today

    I was a fan of the Big Stubby, then tried 2mm Dunlops for a while. Recently went down to .88 and loving life!

    Cheers for the replies guys, I continued to look this up after posting this and I'm fairly certain the foot switch is the problem. Going to take a punt on one from ebay, it solders straight on the board so really simple. Hopefully have it up and running for a couple of quid If not though... pics to follow

    I've just picked up a one-off fuzz pedal second hand and I absolutely adore the sound. Unfortunately it seems to have a fault and I was hoping someone with a bit of knowledge of pedal guts could advise whether they think it could be an easy fix... It appears to be the footswitch, it turns the pedal on and off but sometimes when pressed on the volume is almost zero, the signal is coming through as you can hear it very slightly. Pressing the footswitch down to where it stops but without clicking it brings the full signal back, then it works fine after doing this once or twice. Does this sound like a replacement footswitch maybe? I really like this pedal so would love to use it, but I can't really if it's a gamble whether it's going to come on or not! I appreciate this might be a hard question to answer but any advice is appreciated!

    I had a bit of an epiphany with the VT Bass last night as I've been using it and it has always sounded fine rather than great, but I think I've cracked it. Was persevering because the practical features are so handy rather than for the sound but I think I've got my head around it properly now, which is nice

    [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1405360727' post='2501240'] yeah, saw them play in bristol before, very good stuff [/quote] Awesome! I missed them last time they were near me

    I got mine because the venues my band were playing at were often using shared gear so I didn't always get to use my amp head. I play with a lot of dirt and wanted a way to get the same sound with as many different setups as possible, opted for a VT Bass DI. I don't think there's a right or wrong with it though

    [quote name='Byo' timestamp='1405293338' post='2500570'] No geektards? Castrovalva. I believe I first heard of them on Shep´s blog. [url="http://sheponbass.co.uk/blog/interview-anthony-wright.html"]http://sheponbass.co...ony-wright.html[/url] They are on Spotify too. [/quote] Ant from Castrovalva (sadly disbanded recently) posts on basschat quite a bit

    Love a bit of Om and Lightning Bolt! They play with a guitarist full-time now, but Big Business are definitely noteworthy!

    [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1405065709' post='2498384'] Awesome board!! What patch cables are you using there? Si [/quote] Cheers Si! The patch cables are Hicon jacks and some Sommer cable (I think) I picked up from Thomann: http://www.thomann.de/gb/hicon_flunderklinkenstecker_winkel.htm
