[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1400773130' post='2456868'] How the neck dive (if there is any)? One of the very few complaints ive read by a few owners have mentioned this. [/quote] i use a dunlop strap and dnt really notice any neck dive, i do have my bass very low, but dnt notice that im holding the neck up, unlike when i had a gibby thunderbird which hurt. andy

[quote name='Byo' timestamp='1400875199' post='2457879'] Ordered the Mini's! Got on the way the Mini Corona Chorus, Mini Flashback and (the not so new) Mini HOF reverb. I have downloaded the TonePrint editor too, looks like you can do anything you want on the pedal. I will keep you posted. Byron. [/quote] do you know if you can add to the pedals, ie can you setup to sounds like they do in some of the toneprints that they have? andy

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1400884951' post='2457996'] is that -3dB at 37hz, -6dB at 37hz, -10db at 37hz or what? it's almost meaningless as a number without that! [/quote] tbh i dnt know, doesnt seem to say anywhere on the ashdown site. andy

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1400870538' post='2457807'] Interesting re "the fridges", plus Ashdowns speakers seem to operate only down to about 70Hz as well, and they`re seen on many stages all over the place, with many pros using them. As above, tone is in the mids. [/quote] apparently my mag 810 goes to 37hz! weird? andy

this def works, i use the cog effects octave for this to fatten up things as well as kicking in a second dirt pedal. andy

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1400788294' post='2457108'] From what I've been told on here & other places in the past, a good compressor needs good metering to be used effectively as a transparent compressor. Unfortunately, there's only a select few that fit that criteria & the only one I remember the name of is the MarkBass Compressore. But it might be a little too large for you. [/quote] yeh sadly the mb is a bit to big, looking for something about the same size of the boss maybe a bit smaller andy

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1400694755' post='2456224'] FEA used to do a pedal that was crazy controllable that, a hi and low side, you can change the filter positions and how much drive each had and a clean blend too IIRC. Solid things sound great just rarer than a rare thing [/quote] however on the root i do have the low gain on full lol andy

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1400601436' post='2455354'] I think you and I are looking for very different things out of a compressor. I'm wanting a subtle always on compressor. One with no low end loss. One that doesn't sound like a compressor, just adds even-ness and "punch" in the mix. IMO, and Ovnilab's, the MXR is in a league above the compressors you mention. [/quote] this sounds like what i want, to be able to comp things a bit but mainly just even out the extremes andy

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1400593594' post='2455240'] It is rather large I had to buy a bigger board! [/quote] i can see this happening! serious earthquaker gas is happening, and am getting a few pedals to review for a new you tube thing im doing. keep the idea coming guys im checking them all out andy

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1400593248' post='2455231'] If money is no object check out the Origin Effects Cali76TX. it's awesome! [/quote] did consider that only problem is the size, tried them out at mansons and they are nice! andy

pm'd dude

hi all! [sharedmedia=core:attachments:161174] basically ive just done my tax return and will be getting a nice chunk of monies so thinking i might upgrade a few bit on my board! the heart of my board and going nowhere! is my COG Effects custom " Red 5" which covers my reverb, chorus, octave and fuzz. i also have my Mesa flux drive which covers my more grindy low end overdrive needs, and from Lateral Sounds ive got the Root distortion which covers my high gain crunch (basically filth) sounds. however here we come to pedals im thinking of upgrading, as my rack eq died and i was using that to cut everything below 20hz going to my amp (we tune to d standard and lower) as some protection for the speakers,so thinking of grabbing a boss eq to deal with that. but i also have a boss limiter to squash things a bit and take of the peaks to again protect the amp no this was what i thought could be replaced. my ideas straight of are the aguilar comp, the Earthquaker devices Warden, or the mxr comp now there a bit of a difference in price and the earthquaker being the cheapest but also seems to give a little bit more with it having a tone knob to dial in a bit more which i kind like the idea of, this would be on all the time. any thoughts welcome. andy

finally got to use this in a full band context on sunday! everything sits really nice, need to get used to having an octave pedal again but each effect is very good! the versatility of the fuzz is what i love can go to knarly treble fizz to quite frankly ridiculous subs! its a beast! plain and simple! andy

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1400488751' post='2454206'] Nice bass tone! On the Root pedal, can you leave the lows clean and only distort highs? [/quote] not totally clean, but the girth control lets you keep alot of the low end. andy

love mine to bits! it takes alot of abuse, it also takes the tuning i very well which is down a whole step but i have the low b tuned to c. sound it might not quite match up to the mody but for out of town shows with limited room in the van i have no problem using it, as it plays really nicely and i have always had a soft spot for jazz basses, and when as discreet said you put them up against the same price fender i just could warrant the extra 1300 quid for the fender. also from memory when buying one, people really need to stop changing logos to fender one, its a pointless stupid thing to do. andy

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1400414420' post='2453568'] Bass and drums have the best mix on this! Well done for getting bass heard properly in metal! [/quote] thanks man! andy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jdTG7XHTX0 theres a link to a page where you can hear the final mix of " open your eyes" signal path was my 5 string into a lateral sounds Root into my orange then into the ashdown 810t no di needed! andy

just a quick bump to get people looking at this again, really proud of how the ep sounds, its not for everyone music wise and the bass sound def isnt everyones cup of tea but i love it! andy

pretty sure that in that clip he just using the big morley power wah, with a slight dirty tone, when he toes down the wah theres a big treble boost. shouldnt take much really to get close just a bit of noodling, also remember hes playing thru an svt and a 810 so some of the tones coming from that. andy

anyone use the earthquaker devices "warden" ? currently using the boss limiter ( i know its not really a compressor) andy

[quote name='Byo' timestamp='1400271927' post='2452592'] They look great! I would have added a mini switch to choose from TC´s own preset or TonePrint option (2 in 1). But the TonePrint option means that the possibilities are endless (if they share the same internal organs as their big brothers). [/quote] Just watched video on youtube from andertons with tor, and they have the same inerds some have more features than there bigger brothers. Andy

[quote name='jcater' timestamp='1400274843' post='2452635'] So looking forward to my T65 and chorus in one pedal. Tom says may be ready end of June. Everyone on here seems to be really pleased with their pedals. Cannot wait to join the club [/quote] you wnt be disappointed! if the chorus is similar to the on in my "red 5" will be awesome best chorus ive used by far andy

the shaker tempts me! they all sound really good, and area decent price aswell andy
