+1 to that +1.

Damn. That is one ugly guitar. I guess that's why he's open to other enquiries.

Don't touch the Thump 12's. I got three from Digital Village a couple of years ago, for smaller pub gigs, and pretty quickly two failed. DV replaced them. Then one of the replacements failed. That got replaced too. DV (eventually) admitted that there were problems with the Thump 12's. They are apparently built in a different factory than the rest of the Thump range and their build quality isn't to be trusted. Compared to the 450's, the Thumps are a lot less powerful. I've used 450's for years and have had no issues with reliability and they're good and loud too. You get what you pay for so I'd say go with the 450's and you shouldn't regret it. And you already know what they sound like. Give the Thumps a wide berth.

done.

I did a pedal swap with Dan. Comms were great and he was a pleasure to deal with. Great BCer. Thanks Dan.

I recently did a two way pedal loan with Dan. A bit of trust involved there parting with my expensive toy, but Dan's a top guy so it all went seamlessly. I even ended up buying a pedal from him. Highly recommended BCer. Thanks a mil Dan.

I bought some George L's fron Tayste. No problems, quick delivery & great comms. Thanks man.

The TC Mic Mechanic looks pretty good. I know a couple of people who use one and they swear by them. And theyre only £119 at GAK. http://www.tc-helicon.com/products/mic-mechanic/

My basic tone is clean and I use my 66 for a light overdrive and a heavier distortion. If you wanted an always on sound and a second higher gain drive it'll do that with ease. It's a super pedal.

Awesome! Music really is a voyage of discovery eh.

Good question. I play a passive so it's not an issue I have to worry about. There are quite a few COG ownners here, so maybe someone else can answer that one...... Good luck with your quest

A COG Knightfall 66 will cover everything from mild od to full on fuzzy nastyness, and everything inbetween. Two channels too. Definitely worth considering.

My name is ratman, and I am a pedalaholic.............

I just got my Grand Tarkin today. My old board was getting too tight for space so I just got a Diago Showman too. Everything's in there now and I'm dead happy with it. Especially my COGs. Damn, I love these COG pedals. Dirt heaven. Signal path is: Zoom B3 (with exp pedal) TC Polytune Catalinbread boost Bright Onions dual looper, with blends Loop 1 - SFX Micro Red Dragon Loop 2 - Fuzzrocious OhSeeDemon + 2nd gain mod Knightfall 66 Grand Tarkin BBE Opto Stomp compressor.

A Knightfall, standing idly around. Ha ha.

[quote name='Bassmurf' timestamp='1399800319' post='2447680'] Just wondering if I should contact Tom and see if he can do one with a clean blend? [/quote] I asked the same thing, but a standard Knightfall with a blend will set you back £140. You may as well get a 66 for an extra couple of quid, lots more bang for your buck. I did, and it rocks! You will not lose any low end, I promise. There is so much on tap. You're asking the same questions I did a few weeks ago, and Tom answered them all. Call him, He'll be happy to put your mind at rest. A bunch of BCers just told me just to get one, I wouldn't regret it. I'm now saying the same to you. Just do it. You will love it. It's the best drive pedal I have owned by a country mile. I've just done my first 2 gigs with it and everyone has commented on the tone and definition because it doesn't get lost in the general mix. Call Tom and sort it out!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1399639870' post='2446164'] Ooo, this is totally turning into a 'share your 66 clipping choices' I'm currently on Germs for low gain and LEDs for high gain [/quote] So it is! It's going to take a while to properly explore all the choices but for my gigs this weekend I'm going with germanium for my low gain & LED for medium gain. And a boost pedal to give each channel a little extra poke here and there.

Agreed, it's ace! So far I've tried a Fuzzrocious Demon into it which added some nice high end, it sounded pretty good. My boost pedal also gives me more options on top. Also, we're doing Micheal Jackson's Black Or White on one of my gigs this weekend and my octave into a high gain setting is just mental. I'm not sure whether to offer my guitarist the nappy or wear it myself.......

I got my Knightfall 66 today. I know you guys were saying good things about these, but it wasn't till I plugged it in that I truly understood what it was all about. No tone suck, no bass suck, just oodles of lovely dirt. And tone to die for. And so many tonal options are available with the knobs & the 10 (yes10!) internal dip switches. It's amazing. I'm totally blown away with it. Finally, a pedal that out of the box just does 'it', and just in case you were wondering, you won't be seeing this baby in the f/s section anytime ever. Tom, you're a bloody star. I'll be back for something else soon.
