  1. Ah ha! I just found it. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea that existed
  2. I sometimes run a couple of pedals in the loops of my Stomp. They work just fine. As much as I like to hear them, it's extra stuff to cart around, and I'm getting great results with just the Stomp by itself. I'll still use pedals from time to time, but not for most gigs.
  3. I saw a GK MB800 on a gig recently. Not a small footprint but slim, light and very loud. It's definitely on my radar now.
  4. It's just a tad smaller (22.5 x 25 x 7) than my Genz Benz (25 x 28 x 7). I'm trying to find something really small that packs a punch, and that doesn't cost the earth. And, if it's an actual bass amp, it has an FX loop so I can choose between just using the power stage or using the pre amp too. I don't ask for much, I know. So far the MB Nano is the closest but only 300W at 4 Ohms means under 200W at 8 Ohms which isn't a lot on a noisy stage.
  5. Here's a recent live video. We use backing tracks if we go out as a 4 piece, hence some extra keys & BVs on this song. The guitarist is going DI with his Helix, I'm using the Stomp into the front of my amp.
  6. No way. It's just too nice to sell. And it records so well. (I will probably get another one down the line as a spare) As much as I'm enjoying the digital gear, for recording I still prefer old school valves and transistors.
  7. Or the Markbass Nano Mark. 300W at around £300. And it has an FX loop so you can bypass the front end.
  8. Some guitar pedals for sale here. All prices include recorded UK (signed for) delivery. I'll knock a fiver off , and include a free cuppa, for collection in person. Everything is priced keenly to sell, but I will do discounts for multiple puchases. Most of the pedals have velcro or pedal board tape underneath. Wampler Black 65 £90 **** SOLD **** Digitech Trio Plus £120 **** SOLD **** Radial London Bones £25 **** SOLD **** Wampler Thirty Something £110 **** SOLD **** Boss BC2 Combo Drive £30 **** SOLD **** Zoom G3 £40 **** SOLD ****
  9. I'm clearing out a few pedal boards and accessories. I'd prefer the boards be collected, but I'm happy to talk about shipping. All the cables are in good condition and working. Diago Showman pedal board. £35. Internal size 750mm x 350mm. Used but still in good condition. Built like a tank. The original velcro inside has been replaced with pro quality velcro, and stuck down with contact adhesive. Unlike the poor standard Diago velcro, this stuff will never come loose. Some marks on the outside tolex but nothing bad. 8 x Diago Pedal Risers. £3 each. 1 inch high, boss pedal size, to raise up pedals at the back of your board for better access to switches. 4 x George Ls straight connectors. £2.50 each. 11 x 15cm Patch Cables. £1.50 each. Pancake (flat, right angled) connectors. 46 x George Ls right angle connectors. £2.50 each. **** SOLD **** Pedaltrain Novo 24 & tour case. £80. **** SOLD **** Pedaltrain Classic Junior & soft case. £50. **** SOLD **** 2 x Midi Hammer 50cm MIDI cables. £8 each. **** SOLD **** Diago Gigman pedal board. £20. **** SOLD ****
  10. Yes, I came across this the other day. At almost a foot long, it's a little larger than I was looking for. Ideally I want something light and a bit smaller that I can chuck in a backpack. Still, it looks to be a neat amp. They also do a 100W amp which would be the perfect size for me but not enough juice.
  11. I've had it for 4 months now. Initially I thought it was ok, but the more I tweak my patches, the better it gets. Now I wouldn't be without it. I say this for a few reasons. Firstly, the modelling. It's really good these days. Things have moved on a lot since the days of the hissy & metallic souding Zoom and Boss tone suckers. I haven't got the effects models to exactly replicate my pedals, some are very close and some are slightly different, but overall I do like what it does. Second, amp & cab modelling. I love this. I have a Streamliner 900, and I swore it would be the last amp I'd ever need. But, I'm having a blast just plugging into the FX Return on my amp and use it just as a power amp. I'm mainly using the Flip Top, SVT and Bassman models. There are some gigs when I want to hear my amp in all it's glory, but having some different flavours is fun. I may soon look for a dedicated (hopefully small) power amp, to use on gigs, and I can save my Genz Benz for special occasions. Thirdly, portability. My last big board was a Pedaltrain Classic Jr (Novo 24 before that!) with the ES-5, lots of MIDI, loaded up with all the big gun pedals, and for small gigs a Metro 20 still with 8 pedals on as a stripped down, simpler version which was more portable. Now I can take my full board, which fits on a Metro16, on my shoulder to every gig. No compromising on sounds, it's too easy. I play in some central London venues that have house amps, house cabs or just DI into the PA, and I get the tube there and back with my board in my hand. Again, it's too freaking easy. If I was just doing original music I'd probably stick with pedals, but most of my work are covers & functions and the Stomp does everything I need it to . I love the versatility of the Stomp and the ease of use.Also, I play short scale basses now, my full board weighs probably less that 2Kg, My amp is small, my 1x12 Berg cab weighs 23Kg. Humping my gear around now is a piece of p iss!
