[quote name='linear' timestamp='1494938138' post='3299743'] On a pedal like this I definitely prefer the separate clean and fuzz volume knobs to a blend plus output level like you see on some others. This one still sounds like an obviously blended signal with the clean up high, but most blended fuzz are like that, I think? Price is certainly good. [/quote] its a very cool and great sounding for the money! they've also done well to make this blend set up not be like the mxr version where the dry and dirty sounds sound very separate these gel very well! also the lights on the dials are pretty dam cool!

hate to say it but im thinking its probs down to poor parts of the harley benton, both the ditto and boss have handled me doing full jams with my full board going into them. no problem at all maybe try and grab one of those second hand there not much monies Andy

[quote name='Chownybass' timestamp='1494883189' post='3299342'] Thanks for that Gear News piece. I hadn't spotted it yet. A couple of videos with it in use here from Danny Sapko (who deserves a subscribe on his youtube channel). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mnTMw_HlK4[/media] and [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnbqpDI_4Oc[/media] [/quote] cool reviews! still loving the fuzz man! its super smooth!

Full length demo showing what this little box can do! https://youtu.be/ayyeCIh3dSI

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1494833372' post='3298741'] I'm just watching the Arpanoid video. That looks like an awesome pedal. I'm looking forward to one of your demo videos... EDIT: and the Transmisser! I now have expensive pedal GAS. Thanks! [/quote] No trouble! ;-) Hopefully should be recording some demos for these on sat so won't be to long before my demos are up hopefully Love the Arpanoid it and a delay/ reverb can create sound pads on there own!

so excited to get these on my board and have a play!

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1493796385' post='3290649'] Out of interest does it work at all without the humdinger thing in the chain? [/quote] It does however there's no way in the es8 to reverse the phase if it's out. Probs the only issue with the es8 tbh!

The darkglass alpha omega sounds great!! https://youtu.be/5ueyeeapxSU

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1494339266' post='3295105'] What's wrong with just giving the FOH 2 feeds and let them do the mixing? [/quote] tbh its for ease, and speed of set up, i can give one feed with all i need in the pa, saves a big long conversation explaining to the sound guy!

[quote name='Johnny Wishbone' timestamp='1494278547' post='3294709'] I'm sure I've seen a DI from Radial that has a "merge" function to sum two mono signals? [/quote] I'll check that out

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1494274478' post='3294658'] Behringer Ultra DI I'll bet, the silver coloured one. They suck pretty bad, you lose a lot of clarity in your sound with those. Its probably the frequencies that they cut that caused the clipping [/quote] got it in one mate! actually affected how i played and used effects.

ok so my current setup will be going live soon! i have a two amp dual mono rig one is clean one gets all my effects. looking for a rackmount unit ideally that can take the two di signals and give me one di out that i can send to the foh. any ideas?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1493769267' post='3290594'] I sort of agree with this, however it's not necessarily due to laziness. He's probably had bad experiences with really hot signals clipping and even overloading the desk. An unprocessed signal from a bass can throw out some pretty nasty spikes even at low levels. I played an all dayer at the weekend where many bassists DI'd and the results were mixed depending on if they had pedals or whether their basses were active/passive. I naturally took my full rig and had the best sound of the night [/quote] see now at the risk of sounding snobby, if im using a di i should know how to use it. i like to take a few minutes to find the sound guy and explain my rig, ie i have two di's from my heads and a third for my sub which i dnt need to use if its a problem, and i use distortion alot of distortion. ive actually been told to use a crappy (Behringer) di on a out door gig last year instead of my amps Di he said it sounded bad and was clipping, later then got told by a friend doing sound he never adjusted a thing between di's so in that situation he made the di sound bad, when i have that happen kinda bums me out a little bit.

https://youtu.be/5ueyeeapxSU Full ao demo

Ok so actual demo video on my channel goes up tomoz morning 8am (ill post a link here) but was having fun combining the AO with other pedals on my board. love it and am actively having to tell myself to turn it of and not just use it all the time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lInofM0hrxc&feature=youtu.be

None total rubbish, tbh just means he's to lazy as he might have to re eq for the new di

So recently got talking to Chowny at a local bass bash and they were cool enough to send me a pedal to demo! this thing is killer, had both my amps set up so figured id do a little playing into both! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh9v1hLGnjU its designed in conjunction with Uk boutique pedal builders and is super simple and like i said sounds great!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1493584577' post='3289282'] You need to try them both really. The Cali is not a very transparent compressor, certainly adds something to your tone. The Super Symmetry does not do this, but it does roll of highs slightly. For me, cheap compressors are no good. Certainly these two are some of the best in the market, I preferred the Super Symmetry as I liked my tone as it was, but both are excellent. [/quote] What kev said! you need to try them both really, i have the cali and love it, adds a bit of warmth and is super easy to use, i like what it adds so felt i was missing something when i tried the DG its great just for me the Cali won out. i actually used to have a germanium version of the larger cali unit and downsized to this as honestly to me it sounded better. only other comp ive had come close that ive tried was an old boss cs-2.

New pedal demo day yesterday so many cool sounds in these three!

It's a bit good the AO! Few hours jamming and this is my fave setting so far [URL=http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/andybassist/media/AAD0EC7D-0E47-4965-9439-B38DEA662090_zpse3etnpuz.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah176/andybassist/AAD0EC7D-0E47-4965-9439-B38DEA662090_zpse3etnpuz.jpg[/IMG][/URL] FYI I'm not boosting bass as the pedal is cutting it just for where I wanna sit in the band mix you can have 100% blend with no low end loss unless you want that.

[quote name='Westenra' timestamp='1493128876' post='3285858'] Wicked cool, thanks for the reply! [/quote] no problem

its here! cant wait to plug it in and get some sounds!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1493302638' post='3287306'] May have missed it but where did you order? I made mine at Andertons or whoever, and I got a text today saying its been shipped, will arrive tomorrow. Ordered last week I think ? [/quote] Got an email from Andertons saying early may, however like your self got a mail saying it will be coming tomoz well happy as I'm doing some demo filming on sat so can include the ao now :-)
