    Electronic numpty time. I have a bunch of 9V pedals all hooked up and daisy chained on my pedalboard but have just acquired a valve OD pedal that has a 12V power supply. I would prefer not to have two plugs coming off my pedalboard (OK, its not a massive issue but sometimes there are limited electricity points at gigs; plus its one more wire to trip over!). What would happen if I just daisy chained the valve OD pedal? Would it be silent or underpowered or even blow? I have no idea so I thought I would ask you august folks! Cheers in advance

    Its not my rig, its in Brixton Hill rehearsal studios (great place by the way, no beat-up Ashdown MAG combos ....). However, the rig sounds the absolute dogs danglies if you like a thick meaty, old school bass-heavy sound. Which I do. If you want modern hi-mid, articulacy its pants!

    Alex bought a Darkglass pedal from me and all was good! Enjoy

    OK thanks @dannybuoyso if the I/P knob is fixable I will take this, @Stofferson (if still available, that is)

    Hi does this do gentle warm valvey sounds (with gain set low) for motown-esque vibe, or is it better suited to OD/distortion? Also, is the middle I/P control able to take a replacement chicken head control knob? Thanks

    I calculate that if approximately 19,998 more BCers chip in similarly, we are in business

    OK troops I have found the one. Anyone got a spare $1800 plus post and import duty they could chuck my way? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MTP66--acme-audio-mtp-66-motown-tube-preamp

    Sold

    Manual downloadable here for specs (choose US - iamp500 option) http://eaamps.com/manuals/
  13. Clarky
    Price cut to £1700 is my best offer

    Darkglass pedal in very good condition. I bought it for a Motown-type sound but its way better as an overdrive/distortion pedal. £110 collected or £120 posted. Note there is no box or manual but the pedal will be safely packed and the manual is downloadable.

    My post today about pedals to warm up and gently overdrive the sound of my two very hi-fi amps has driven home that I don't need both an Acoustic Image and a Euphonic Audio amp. As the former has incredibly useful upright-specific features (HPF, notch, phase) this leaves my EA iamp500. So up it goes. Superb piece of kit in very good condition for a c.10 year old amp (see pics). Comes with virtually new Gator gig bag. £380 * now £325* collected (Hammersmith area, London) or a tenner on top for post within the UK. Sale only, no trades

    Or for a lipsmacking £449 https://www.kmraudio.com/acme-audio-motown-di-wb-3.php 😮

    It has occurred to me that having two ultra-clean amps is probably not the most sensible arrnagement!

    Thanks DB and nice playing of Bernadette!

    As an aside, I found a clip of the Tube Pilot. Not helped by the fact the guy's set up is already pretty warm and old school before he even engages the pedal. Seems to break up at pretty low levels (9 o'clock)

    Hmm, your last point is a good one. Still pondering! So far - SFT apart - the Grizzly Bass sounds most like what I have in my head but a DI would be useful if it were an option to combine the two. Think I need to check out soundclips of the VT Bass DI - the EBS ValveDrive would be perfect if half the size!!!
  22. Clarky
    PS, this Grizzly Bass clip sounds great but the price is a little hefty versus the other suggestions here

    Looking at the TC range - after reading the comments here - I also spotted the Tube Pilot, another cheapie at £38 which has an actual valve in it and a control set even I couldn't screw up. Anyone tried these for bass? https://www.gak.co.uk/en/tc-electronic-tube-pilot-overdrive/919459
  24. Clarky
    Thanks chaps and thanks MartinB for going to the trouble of recording the clips. SFT sounds most like what I am after from the clips (more low end) but the TC and Orange Burst sure are cheap! Another consideration is I don't have a DI pedal so the VT Bass DI or ValveDrive DI might be a useful kill 'two birds with one stone' option (although the ValveDrive looks a bit too big for my pedalboard)
  25. Clarky
    Thank you all for the suggestions. I will get watching some YT clips of each. Interestingly noone so far has advised sticking with the Darkglass
