heard nothing but amazing things about Lee over at [url="http://www.freewebs.com/llaverackguitars/"]http://www.freewebs.com/llaverackguitars/[/url]

im taking all my basses to him, top guy too.

They aren't mine hahah!!

Just got the b3, the pitch delay on it sounds exactly like the rainbow machine! Still working out sounds for it

Nice! The Rat is a permanent feature then? How is the new Darkglass?

rat is great! still havent dialled in my perfect two settings on it, but im going to use it for a more focused and cutting sound with not as much of a level boost as i have on the B3k (which i use for a gnarly MEGAdrive)

the darkglass vintage is amazing, since i stopped using my pearce BC1 preamp live (was too worried about it haha) i was missing something from my sound, im using the Boss parametric to approximate the pre gain mid EQ of the pearce, running that into the vintage, and then doing some bass and treble EQ on my ampeg PF500,

the vintage really smoothes out the high notes, which had got a bit DRY sounding from the massive 1khz boost.

everything sounds great to my ears now.

downsized my pedalboard loads, but never been happier with my sound, and much more stuff on tap!

there is a markbass super synth tucked under the zoom b3

If some are fine and some are not then I'd blame user error.

i disagree, the foot on my S15 clipped the top of a beer keg as i lifted it over and came flying off, it's not unreasonable for me to expect the feet to stay on during a tour even if they clip walls, other cabs, kerbs or anything.

im sure Alex acknowledged somewhere that there are issues with the feet, cant seem to find it now though.

yeah, you need something that can reproduce those low freqs, you wont get any of the OOMPH through that practice amp, but you'll probably hear some of the synthy tone it makes.

an awesome pedal, really excels through a massive PA

grab yourself a Boss OC-2 from eBay or somewhere.

If you want a pedal you can still buy new, then i would go for the Aguilar Octamizer.

these are my favourite two normal analogue octave pedals

edit: i've heard the MarkBass octave pedal is quite close to the OC2, but haven't had chance to try it myself (and i dont think its 9v)

i always used the wet out into my amp, im getting tempted to put it back on my board and try this seperate DI thing

its something Alex has mentioned he is still trying to find the best way to do it, i definitely need some spares though!

my cab wobbles now

watch out for the feet! i keep knocking mine off, i think i've misplaced one as well.

I emailed Alex about getting some spares but i got no reply.

my rig is perfect at the moment, only thing i want to switch out is my Ampeg PF500 (for the PF800 when it's released)

i didnt play on it for ages and i'd totally forgotten how amazing it sounded, adding the Microtubes Vintage really gave me the tiny bit i thought i was missing too!

Ampeg PF500 into Barefaced Super 15 is a killer combo!

had another go with the TFR russian last night, pretty cool but still not for me
the russian muff style is still my favourite from the fuzzes, but i just dont see a place to use it in my music, plus if i ever did get a fuzz, i'd just grab a Fuzzrocious because Ry has always been a dude to me (brand loyalty haha!)


if anyone has a Zoom B3 and wants to trade, hit me up

I like my TFR, but I'm just not really into FUZZ, I love distortion and OD more, probably gonna whack mine on eBay so I can buy myself a zoom b3

yeah, get it sent back!

the new humanfly stuff is the best they've ever done.

once payday hits, the b3 is mine!!! anyone getting rid of one?

can the B3 do any sort of arpeggiation? or something that sounds close enough?

ahh yeah! makes total sense!

i like the high/low clipping knobs on the rat tail, roll them back to reduce clipping on the high and/or low notes

[indent=1]i dont think you'd need one to be honest! not on the rat tail anyway, i mean, you can set it for sounds that have less low end, but there is plenty of bottom on tap! sounds amazing.[/indent]

[indent=1]but shoot Ry an email (or tweet @fuzzrocious) and im sure he'll let you know right away.[/indent]

grab yourself an ampeg PF800 when they come out in may

dont some cabs have a bulb wired into the tweeter? to stop it blowing

[sub]i use lots of pedal dirt and used to use an orange terror bass, i traded it in for an Ampeg pf500 and everything sounds loads better![/sub]

[sub]edit: my PF500 into my barefaced Super 15, is the beefiest most killer rig ive played through[/sub]

i always daisy chained mine from a johnny shredfreak power supply (same as diago) and never had any noise at all?

works fine with a daisy chain, the pitch shifter sounds great, i preferred it to the whammy IV.

the harmoniser and the delays are realllllllllllly nice, so many awesome delays.

particle verb sounds crazy too

i have a pair of wizard hammers in one of my basses and they sound massive, lots of growly mids, try one of those in the bridge.
