recently did a little video showing how the original rat stands up against its newer modded counter parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWu_OO1oVMo

my fav drives and fuzzes are clones with some added bits, but to go with originals gotta be the sovtek muff and proco rat Andy

did this little video to compare some of the rat type drives. got a classic proco rat, a fuzzrocious rat tail and cog effects tk-421x, all sounded great but what do you guys think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWu_OO1oVMo Andy

Got the pumpkin in last week finally had a chance to play it! Holy hell!!! http://youtu.be/izLZ4cNLHSo

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1455050243' post='2975504'] you absolute monkey! I was in PMT today picking up an MXR micro amp and they have all the strymon stuff. The timeline looks so tiny, I thought it would be twice the size it is! very tempted to get one at some point. 100% don't need one but they look so much fun! [/quote] Holy crap! The timeline is amazing!!!!!!!!

recently did a few demos of a few pedals B9 organ machine by ehx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jQ_x92_vXU and El capistan Dtape echo by Strymon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_mzdvvIaGw both are awesome in there own way, the strymon is an amazing delay! and works so well with other effects, the b9 is what it is it makes you sound like an organ. andy

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1455114821' post='2976038'] I just got a BigSky, having owned some of the smaller Strymon pedals before, and was similarly surprised at how compact it is. It does look bigger in images. As I use it for synths and am a desktop sort of music maker, I going to make a nice wooden stand for it, along with my Shruthi and Streichfett, and possibly my Waldorf, if I don't sell that. Expensive things like Strymons can be bought on 0% credit over 9 months or longer at some online places, which makes them temptingly affordable, sort of. Mine was from GuitarGuitar. [/quote] I'm hopeing this wnt lead to fading for another strymon

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1455050280' post='2975506'] oh, what do you think of the TK421x??? [/quote] honestly did not have time to plug it in! this sat i should be able to! got a proco rat in aswell so theres gonna be a battle of the rats coming soon! Andy

[/quote] its tiny! i thought it would be much bigger aswell! ive got it more for my other project and the ease of switching between crazy sounds!

Loved my el capistan but needed the extra features of the timeline. Can't wait to give the pedal board a remake and get some more delay going on. Andy

Mmmm maybe just coz the demos at namm, but its not blowing me away tbh............

only good things to say about my ashdown mag 810t cost me about 450 quid new and its a beast! Andy

I think a fuzz for me what you want for huge fat sounds, have a look at the cog effects tarkin or maybe a sovtek based fuzz. A light drive into a fuzz sounds massive imo, I use ATM a pike Vulcan xl into a fuzzrocious grey stache or rat tail Andy

it basically would mean you were bypassing the amps eq, theres more clean in the mix. however if you thinking of plugging you bass into the amps input, then having effects in the loop, your going to be hitting the eq and pre amp with the full standard bass signal, might sound good might not, id stick with the octave up before the amp and try the verb and delay in the loop.

[quote name='Byo' timestamp='1454324399' post='2968499'] For me it was the Moog MiniFooger Drive that I bought from this parish in 2015. Amazing tone from boost to fuzz and all in between whilst sounding vintage-y and warm. [/quote] Awesome pedal, tempted to get one again!

I use an Akg d112 really nice and not crazy money!!

[quote name='kendall' timestamp='1453987417' post='2964965'] I also liked it. Found myself wanting to play along. Good stuff. [/quote] Thanks guys

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1453927483' post='2964398'] new pic of my board. i have played this setup for a few months and a few gigs now, and think I've settled on this for the new band, though we're into the studio in 5 or 6 weeks, no doubt it'll all change after that! still itching to try an EQD afterneath... [/quote] Nice I just got a tk on loan from cog for a video and a two channel pumpkin pi fuzz from green carrot pedals. Andy

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1453838492' post='2963355'] Well done dude! I love people who dare do something a bit different! [/quote] thanks man Andy
