[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1441895260' post='2862743'] Tarkin has massive low end, and the particularly useful "Mids" knob. It certainly cuts through, and makes the Bass Big Muff sound like a joke... [/quote] That pretty much sums it up for me too.

The Nano Muff is a single Muff pedal. A Double Muff has two muff circuits, one cascading into the other, when you flip the switch. I wouldn't expect that the newer NM circuit to sound just like the older DM though, as is the case with EHX's other reissues like the QTrons.

Dude, how do the B and C models sound on bass? I can see guitarists getting a lot of bang for their buck with this kind of pedal, but do you think they're worth the price for bass?

I've been using a mackie DL1608/iPad for a few months now. It's brilliant. I love that you can save EQs, whole channel strips, gates, compressors, whole mixes, it's just so easy. The wireless mixing makes sound checks a breeze. And the Logic style EQs (and 31 band graphic on main outs & every aux) offer way more tone shaping than the 3 band EQ found on my analogue mixer. If an iPad were to run out of juice or crash this mixer simply stays with it's current setting so the show still goes on till you get the iPad running again. I always have 2 iPads on stage anyhow, one in the mixer and one running wirelessly near me, and I charge that one between sets. Remember, the iPad is only a control interface, all the computing is done inside the mixer. I've done lots of gigs where other musicians have used their iPhone/iPad to mix their own IEMs/monitors and they all love it too. The 1608 is going pretty cheap thesedays if you get the 30 pin model for iPad 2 & 3. (There is a newer, more expensive, lightning version too) Yes, you need to factor in an iPad too, but what you get for your money is amazing. The (free) app is worth downloading to see for yourself how intuative it is. I've engineered some recent gigs on Presonus desks and I personally prefer the Mackie app over the Presonus app. Software updates come via the iPad's App Store updates which automatically run a firmware update on the mixer next time you dock the iPad. If only there was a 24 channel version I'd have one in a heartbeat. I'm thinking about the 32 channel one for the future though.

I just got one and I'm not too impressed. It thins out my sound no end and I have to blend so much clean back in to try to retain my tone, I may as well not turn it on. Although I haven't tried it live yet but I don't think it'll be a keeper for my needs. I have plenty of other pedals that do the low-medium gain drive a lot better.

Here's an article that explains it way better than I can: http://www.ovnilab.com/articles/fxloop.shtml I hope this has helped you.

Don't stick it in your effects loop, always put drive pedals into the front of your amp.

I just recieved the bridge I bought from Nige. It was really well packed and arrived quickly. Top job, recommended seller.

I use a Source Audio BEF Pro set to a QTron kind of sound, with some clean bass dialled in, running in parallel with my Dod Octaver. It may not be exactly like the original, but It's a really full sound and it works for me.

I just bought a pedal from Vince. Good comms and a well packed & prompt delivery. Top man.

If you've got Spotify, this site has a ridiculous number of playlists you can get for free. http://playlists.net/

I just bought a pedal from Adam. Absolutely recommended, another hassle free BC purchase. Thanks Adam.

I just sorted Cliff out with an amp bag. A nice guy and easy to deal with. Definitely recommended.

A big thanks to Mick & Chris for all their efforts putting the bash together. We do appreciate it. And also to everyone else who contributed with talks, photos and raffle prizes, gear etc. I loved the fretboard shootout - it was great to hear different woods side by side, and I was surprised that the result was so one sided (but the rosewood did sound better ). And in typical Ratman style, I came home with 2 more pedals. I mean, it's not like I have enough around here already! I nabbed an LS-2 off Happy Jack and I won a EHX Clone Theory in the raffle. Nice. It was great to meet a few more of you too. Nice folks one and all.

I just bought a tuner from Austin. Another easy & smooth transaction here on BC. Quick delivery too, considering he was in the middle of a house move at the time. Thanks Austin.

I just bought a pedal from Stevie. Another easy BC transaction, no stress, and quick delivery too. Nice one Stevie, thanks a mil.

I just put a mate in touch with Mark to buy a Markbass combo. The deal was done super quick and my mate is a happy man. Thanks very much Mark.

I bought a PA system from Pete. He was more than helpful throughout the transaction, I can't rate him highly enough. Top fellow. Thanks Pete.

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure I would be making a good choice with the 1608 and your replies have confirmed that. The feature list really is off the scale for the price.
