Line 6 m13? Not played one but seems to be a favorite choice? Andy

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1335275664' post='1628440'] In one of the bands I play in, the lead guitarist is gadget-mad. He turns up with 16 floor pedals, an ebow and 3 guitars. Consequently there is always some sort of signal-path problem with his rig; feedback, dodgy connections, kilometres of cabling. When he's not spending time trying to work out why he's getting all manner of weird noises, he's forever fiddling with switches and buttons, in his own gadget world. Now, the singers are also turning up with floor effects pedals... Last rehearsal, it took almost two hours to set up. We did 2 songs because, as usual, the guitarist was plugging and unplugging this and that, chasing random screeches and weird echoes. I said that if he couldn't sort it all out for the 3rd song, I was going home. That's what happened. Afterwards, when I asked if all his STUFF was absolutely necessary, he said "Yes - I'm not going to change". I'm getting very frustrated with all the gadget-driven problems, hanging around and distractions. After 4 months of lots of hard work, we're on the verge of gigging, so I don't want to walk away now - too much time and effort invested. But, I can see this happening again and again. Don't know what to do... [/quote] does he have a pedalboard? theres nothing wrong with him having 16 pedals! like many above ive had 11/12 pedals and i used all of them if this guy uses his pedals then maybe just give him a few links to pedalboards site? andy

i really liked mine, i used to use it to get a kinda chorus sound i never had a bf-2 tho so can't say the dif between them. does sound cool infront of a fuzz tho i must say! andy

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1334839971' post='1622146'] I had one of these and absolutely loved it. Best bass head I've ever owned but, unfortunately, just too heavy for me It really is quite a weighty beast and I found I could get a lot of the tone I wanted from a tiny little TH500 (matched with the right speakers). However, if you're OK with the weight & want a serious gigging amp then, in my opinion, nothing else comes close! [/quote] couldnt agree more! i when't from an ampeg svt pro 6 to this. wanted more volume and a a/b'd the 750 with a svt-cl and it just killed it! and the headroom of this amp is silly! i still haven't got it past 3 out of 10. and if you crank the gain it gets a nice grit to its sound, simple but effective eq and first amp ive had where the deep and bright switches make a big dif! serious amp! andy

is the feedback only happening when you hit on the pd7? i'd go through every part of the rig starting at my bass and see where the feed back comes in. i dnt get feedback on my rig till i have massive amounts of gain stacked up, my bass maxed on volume(its an active bass so has a hot output) then into a swollen pickle on about 12oclock, then into a odb-3 on a similar volume setting but with the gain at about 2oclock. but i dnt get feedback till i turn on my metal muff which is cranked on the high end. and my db750 has its gain at about 2oclock so its pretty gain heavy with no gain being added anyway maybe your boosting a high frequency with out realising? i had this when i used to use a boss md-2, it just grabbed the bad frequency and caused feedback when i wasnt playing. hope atleast some of that helps? andy

im happy with my memory boy! I AM HAPPY WITH MY MEMEORY BOY!!!! i dnt need the tc repeater or nova delay ooo but i do have a ehx stereo pulsar that ive squeezed onto my board! in place of an oc-3 andy

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1332794087' post='1593304'] just tried this. nice. edit. a very little gain goes a very long way. [/quote] indeed! but also going over the top with gain has its bonuses to!! but i also just nabbed a ehx pulsar tremolo! massive tone! combine the stacking with a sawtooth wave sounds really good! andy

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1332585570' post='1590263'] LS-2 was the first thing I looked at. As far as I can make out, you can blend 1 effect chain and clean, or two effects chains. I was trying to work out if you could use 2 in combination just before I started this thread. [/quote] yeh the boss works really well as a blender, and all the modes make it so much more, plus to of these give so many blend and switching options. you could probs get two of these secondhand for about 85 quid if you were patient on the ebay? andy

boss ls-2? andy

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1332243033' post='1585298'] cool. To make that tone.... line A - guitar compressor > ODB3 (low gain bass boost) > EQ (cutting above 800Hz) line B - EQ boosting high mids > Ibanez SS10 (tube screamer type) Blended about half and half, and then all of that into a Boss limiter with a bass big muff on dry mode at the end. [/quote] yep that should do it!!!! jesus bet that sounds insane!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1331591889' post='1575640'] The reason for this mainly applies to guitarists who get distortion from their amp. Distorting delay and reverb sounds muddier than delaying and reverbing a distorted sound. Since most bass players pay their amps clean it doesn't make so much difference. [/quote] so if i play with a more dirty sound ( im playing mostly with fuzz/od atm) and my amp is getting dirty before that as i push the gain quite hi so its not mesa gain! but wount hurt having a try? andy

[quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1331582354' post='1575374'] in general stompboxes are meant to go before the preamp, and rack effects or processors for the fx loop (between preamp and poweramp stage). [/quote] yeh i get that bit im just wondering ive seen alot of vids on you tube for guitarists that have ther delays/reverb in the effects loops for a cleaner sound? andy

ive got a ehx memory boy and have been loving it until a few practices ago. ive started using more drive and fuzz pedals so i think im giving the delay to much gain or something as there seems to be a large volume boost as when i reaches the amp thats set to highish gain aswell! when all my dirt is of the delay behaves no volume boost. will putting it in my loop prevent this? am i right in thinking it will bypass the gain on my amp? so the shouldnt push the delay to much? andy

it is indeed! it sounds really sweet with the od over the top! after tonight i think im gonna maybe try having them stacked but also having all my effects mixed with my clean sound using my ls2? andy

at one point it got silly! and i also had a ls-2 blended metal muff that i use for solos and lead parts on! now thats just so much fuzz and od that you can't help but smile! can't wait to us this sound on a gig! someones gonna crap themselves! lol andy

at band practice tonight i decided that id try and get my main dirt chorus sound from my swollen pickle for a change, nice warm fuzz tone worked really well but i kept looking at my odb-3 ( which i love) getting left out of the fun! so i thought lets try them together! holy crap! i managed to get the warm fuzz of the pickle and then the crisp od on top sounds huge! and add my delay it was just making my bass sound massive! any worries i had at selling my oc-3 are gone! andy

its a pedal that people bash alot but the boss odb-3 is a really good pedal! and cheap 2nd hand

have you tried the boss mega distortion 2? keeps lots of lows definatly sounds doomy!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330023970' post='1551692'] The new TC stuff is amazing. I have a Flashback delay that I use as a looper at home, but love the modulated delay on it. Lovely sounding! Moog LPF is stunning, though the moistness of it has done my head in recently. I have an eye on a TC Nova Dynamics at the mo as well for some noise gating and always on tri-band compression (new amp does not have a compressor in it). [/quote] im getting well tempted by there shaker pedal atm! my gas for pedals is silly! i have never used compression live ever! ive had it added to a recording but i really do wanna try it out! im thinking maybe going for broke and trying the aguilar tlc. andy

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330022569' post='1551667'] Thanks! The Aguilar is amazing for my sub channel - a real game changer! Tonally I still prefer the OC-2 for my core sound, but the smooth octave down with that filter rolled back and a 50Hz boost after it is amazing! [/quote] yeh i still prefer my oc-3 for clean octave stuff in my band but the aggie does sound nice when combined with my fuzz pedal. i really wanna try out the aguilar filter twin every youtube clip sounds awesome! oh and on the moog front im hoping to grab an LPF next month! but thats if i can resist getting a tc pedal have found loads of the range that i want! andy

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1330016422' post='1551515'] Updated pics... Couple of small tweaks... Aguilar Octamizer now providing my sub tone. Polytune Mini added as well. [/quote] your board just gets more awesome!
