I just sold Ryan a pedal. He's easy to trade with - fast payment, great comms. What's not to be happy about? Thanks Ryan.

Normally I don't go for this sort of thing, but that was lovely. Beautifully played by all of the band.

I tried a volume pedal a few years ago but it was overkill for my needs. Now I have 2 boosts on my big board. One is a clean boost for a simple increase in volume. The other pedal is a fet boost which really kicks in the treble as well as volume, and works well driving dirt pedals into nastier sonic territory. I prefer having the boosts because I don't need gentle swells, I like to quickly go from normal volume to fixed, pre determined increases at the press of the foot switch.

I just bought a pedal from Sid. Another great BCer to trade with, great comms and prompt delivery. Thanks Sid.

I bought a guitar from Rob. He was a pleasure to deal with, and as he only lives a few minutes from me, it was such an easy process from start to finish. He's a nice guy too. Trade with Rob with absolute confidence. Thanks Rob.

A mixture of George L's and pancakes here.

I got a job lot of George L's from David. Another easy BC transaction, good communication and speedy delivery too. Definitely recommended. Thanks David.

I've been using a G30 for about a month now and I'm dead happy with it. I got a charger & 4 rechargeables from Maplins at the same time. Last weekend I used a different bass on one gig and I forgot to take the transmitter off another bass so I had to do the gig with a lead. It literally got under my feet and in my way. It's funny that it has never bothered me in 30 years of playing, until now. I love the freedom of wireless for moving around, and it comes into it's own at soundchecks where I'm often out front mixing with an iPad.

I just bought a pedal from Ed. Great comms and it arrived the next day. He was a pleasure to do business with. Definitely recommended. Thanks Ed.

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1441449413' post='2858957'] 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. [/quote] I finally gigged my Bass Soul Food last night, and I have to say it sounded loads better at high volume than it did quietly at home. It retained the low end well and added some nice bite to my sound. And running it into other dirt pedals worked well too. Pedals just don't sound the same at bedroom levels and gigs. I take back what I said about it, It's now a keeper

I just bought a detuner from Dave. And I got him to make me a couple of speaker cables too. Everything I heard about his cables is so true, they are fab. Great service and fast delivery, another easy BC deal. Thanks Dave.

[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.

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.

These have served me well: http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/kinsman-slimline-015m-patch-cable-862-p.asp

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.
