Gave it a try with exp pedal in toe up and down positions but no joy, and mono cables don't seem to work either - the pedal fairies aren't being very kind to me on this one. Thanks anyway.

I'm struggling to get my Behringer US600 (Boss PS-5 clone) to work with an expression pedal. Tried with 4 different stereo cables, using a Boss FV500-L; I also wired up a separate 10k linear pot to a stereo jack to rule out expression pedal fault. Both of these methods work with the exp inputs on my Boss and EHX pedals. Basically I'm pretty sure it's down to the Behringer. Works perfectly in all other departments, tracks well. The parameters vaguely change on some settings when a expression's plugged in, but it's warbly, random and sounds like a dying hippo. Gone through 3 US600s (returned 2) so unless there's a serious design fault with just the exp input (I doubt it; I know Behringers get a bad rap but they can't be that bad - their tuner and chorus work great) then I'm stumped. Anyone got any bright ideas? Wondering if they need a different pot in the exp pedal (tried with a 500k log hooked up to stereo jack, no joy), but don't really want to buy loads of variations to try them out (most expressions seem to use something around 10 - 50k linear anyway).

Does subtle well, probably not as wet or shimmery as some others (though it can do OTT sounds), but does have low filter control so you can chose how much effect is applied to low frequencies. Comes in analogue & digital; in my experience the former's a bit warmer, latter's a bit clearer. Can also recommend the Behringer BUC400 (Boss clone); identical in sound, but so much cheaper (got mine £20 new). It's plastic, but they're still pretty tough.

I use these for fixing: http://www.pedalstuff.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&zenid=9515eeb6116d4dc8c15d84def33374af Work great, not pricey either.

Sold Mike a killswitch pedal. Fast payment and great communication: deal with confidence.

Damon bought a couple of effects loop pedals off me. Super fast payment, great communications, no problems at all - very highly recommended.

They're a pain to find (no longer made) but I use an Earthbound Audio Beast with my active Ibanez SR506 - it seems made for bass. It's basically a EHX Russian Big Muff on steroids. There's a mids adjustment and 'Depth' knob, which works really well with low end - no loss of bass whatsoever to my ears and loads of saturation available. There was one for sale on the forum for £100 not long ago (they were about £160 new shipped from the US). There's also the Supercollider, which is a Beast without the 2 feedback loops, cheaper if you can find one. All subjective of course, but to me it's the first and probably last boutique fuzz I'll ever buy. And they look cool.
