Just ordered a pedal train classic pro, got a hard case aswell! Can't wait Andy

i used my old 1000 thru an obc 410, crazy loud never above 2! not the most useful eq but does have a little amount of change in it, but its strength is in the hard rock grind. awesome amp headroom for days! andy

[quote name='Rik (ESA)' timestamp='1442510783' post='2867499'] Great setup! How are you finding the radial di? Looks worth a shot at £70... [/quote] i used the radial on my bands latest recording sounds really good and has everything a di needs plus its tiny!! andy

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1442519586' post='2867588'] Out of interest, how similar is the MXR Bass Distortion to the fuzzrocious rat circuits? I found that pedal truly awful, but with all the positive talk about these circuits I assume MXR just got it rather wrong? It did seem to suffer from the usual MXR dirt pedal complaints i.e really poor separation between clean and distorted, thin wet signal etc. [/quote] not played the mxr, but it does sound pretty decent, just not as nice as the Rat/Cat tail, my guess is adding the blend must have changed something......know nothing about the insides of the pedals tho! the rat king really does sound good tho!

if you get the bass right it will make everything else sound huge. for me its all about the valves! and my 810......and i could play with that but with a few really nice dirt pedals i can change the feel a bit, from aggressive sounding to big a fat! give the ashdown ctm a try, but also i did used to use a markbass lm2 with effects and that sounded good, i basically look at it as my job to fill in the gaps in the dirt of the guitars and get some lows that work with the kick. the ctm100 and mag 810 works in my band, and also dnt forget your amp still needs mids :-) one of the reasons i love the sealed 810! andy

love my boss DD-7 has alot inside, including modulation, reverse, analog but also has a very good looper. but the ehx memory boy maybe worth a look really nice delay that one! andy

i used diago power supplies for a long time very well made a work well, but as my board has been growing to a crazy side i upgraded to the gigrig system, its a bit pricey but so easy to supply any type of pedal and the load it can take is huge!!! andy

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1442407818' post='2866734'] It's all about the combos! Did you see my video combining the Rat Tail, Demon & BDPG? Si [/quote] no i will search it out tho for sure! cant wait till my Cicada Fuzz turns up now!!! oh for peeps who are interested heres my video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8B_uFoDyyU

[quote name='sPiKi' timestamp='1441925215' post='2863106'] So, I received my OB1 500 today and have just returned from a quick workout with our guitarist and drummer. What a disappointment! Hated the tone. Mids way too prominent and to my ears, just all 'honk' which I couldn't eliminate. In spite of the marketing of an active EQ, we found the range from the clean section of the amp to be pretty limited. I played through with my P and J basses, with no effects at all. It does the distorted thing great when the gain is cranked but I could never see me using that in our set. Enjoyed a quick run through Ace of Spades for old time's sake The unit itself feels very sturdy and weighty and it isn't going to budge from your cab; thought the knobs though were a bit cheap feeling. For comparison, we alternated heads to contrast with the V4 and I must say, in my opnion, that has a much more rounded, fuller tone which is not harsh unlike this one. I still have the problem of not enough power with my V4, so considering possibly PF800 + cabs, TH500 or wait for reviews on the Mesa Subway. Any thoughts or advice would be really welcome. [/quote] thing is if your looking for the same tone as the ampeg head you'll be disappointed, even tho they are active eq, if it similar to the otb they dnt do a lot, they do a little. the if i rem correctly the v4 is all valve? and i hate to say it IMO nothing really sounds like valves pre amp dirt is nice but having the power tubes there add a extra something to the mix, for me a nice warm thick bottom end! i dnt know if any of these have been suggested but my favorite two amps of all time! both played with either my own or loaner 610hlf are the aguilar db750 which is an absolute beast of an amp! yes its heavy but really does sound great i went from a svt pro 8 to the db and still got a really nice peg kinda sound, joint first would be my current amp, the ashdown ctm100! it will do clean with a bit of bite, an bit of grind or crazy overdrive filth! and is loud! dnt let the 100w scare you of but if it does! they do a 300w. andy

holy crap! the Rat King is wicked! did a quick video showing some tones! i also have found a very nice dirt sound combining my Rat King and Demon! andy

bought andys EHX Ringthing! painless deal, awesome dude! andy

it arrived yesterday so will be getting a bit of time next week as to soon to thro it on the board for this fridays gig andy

not used the other but the cog.....that thing is filth but it sits in the mix really well. i recorded with it at the weekend, just worked so well support, Supported the guitars but worked with the drums aswell. Andy

[quote name='Salt on your Bass?' timestamp='1441779793' post='2861612'] Thanks for the input. I've looked at the pdi09 before. How does a speaker SIM differ to a di then? Thanks [/quote] Di is a pretty straight and level signal, the Palmer would be taking the same kind of signal but from between head and cab, but would add an eq that would emulate the input signal going thru say a 412, For me tho if you run the pa your self or always use your gear cab included I'd try and grab a decent drum mic, I've got a couple of akg 112 they cost 90 quid brand new and sound very nice with heavy fuzz sounds. However if you are using your head but a dif cab every gig then the Palmer would be a better choice as you'll know what your getting

hey man, are you di'ing into the pa? i think fuzz sounds so much better through a cab with a mic in front, much less harsh and bee sounding andy

ive got a mxr phase 99 which is insane! two phase 90's in one box! but also have used the Eqd grand orbiter which is also very cool! andy

blatant plug for my youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmCSvKXuN_U

[quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1441628236' post='2860340'] I might mean exactly that. Dang. Will be looking imto it, cheers. [/quote] Can do subtle to insane

so gas hit this morning! looking around as i do at pedals and i stumbled on a Rat king, had to be done, they sound awesome on line, i know not everyone's taste but i love Ryans stuff, i have had a Heliotropic (which i loved but just couldnt squeeze on to the board) and currently have a demon (previously oh see demon) on my board with the boost/gate mod and i can tell you thats going no where! and on order his awesome ssounding trem/fuzz the Cicada Fuzz. so i probs count as a Fuzzrocious fan boy! this will be going on to a new board that im building up so that i can switch things up for different projects as im now in three bands. cant wait for this beast to arrive [URL=http://s245.photobucket.com/user/0175westwood29/media/rat%20king.jpg.html][IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/rat%20king.jpg[/IMG][/URL] will wait and see but would at some point love to grab a new version so if i like this it might be getting upgraded to a new shiney Cat King. Andy

my new fave is the moog Clusterflux, however it is pretty pricey but so worth it! and sounds awesome! but also like the mxr and boss offerings

Hi all my band "Six Sins till Sunday" headed into the studio last weekend to record a few tracks to do a short two track single/ep release. think they sound really good but would love feedback on them, they are for everyone! but im really happy with how the bass has come out! for being in a metal context i think my bass is a little higher in the mix than alot. heres the link to the bandcamp page were you can listen and hell even buy the track if you like them! please be warned tho the is some very explicit language so not safe for work or for playing around small children etc will sound best in headphones as we did some cool panning in some sections ;-) https://sixsinstillsunday.bandcamp.com/album/time-to-kill thanks for your time Andy

Was interested at 199, 300 for a 110 for me is too much sadly
