Vein-Tap offer a wide range of true bypass loopers... https://www.vein-tap.com/

I recently sold my Strymon Timeline as I was using only about 5% of its capability. However, must of that use was with the excellent Swell settings so now I need to find a new way of recreating that. Obviously, a volume pedal would be an ideal solution but not possible due to lack of pedalboard space. So, my question... has anyone used any of the auto swell pedals currently on the market and if so, what are your thoughts? Various models include the TC Electronic Crescendo and Mooer Slow Engine but also very interested in any others I may have missed. Note that the Boss Slow Gear is out of the question on account of the $$$. Ideally I am looking for a pedal that can do extremely long/slow volume swells well rather than the shorter swells. Alternatively, and this has just come to me but does anyone know of any other (simple) delay pedals that offer an auto swell setting as that might be an option too. As always, thanks in advance.

Totally agree.

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

Now gone.

Free to a new home, good or bad. The CD player is a bit temperamental (who uses CDs these days anyway, right) but the DAB and audio in functions work as they should and is how I have used it for the last few years. On that note, I can through in the Bluetooth receiver too so you can connect and control it from your phone/tablet etc.. Just thought I would offer it up here before lugging it to the E waste place. I do have the original box so could post at cost but would much prefer collection from London NW6. Thanks

Yeh good demo right up until he introduced the Poly Mode Range control where he lost me. Am I correct in thinking that the Range knob only really operates when playing full chords/intervals? Slightly confused.

Have to say I am a lot more impressed with that than I was expecting. Anyone know when they might become available? I'm itching to buy a new pedal and this could be it.

I was quoted approx. £1000 for a fairly standard P bass build in July but was told the order books are full right now. Still waiting to hear from Mark regarding when he can accept orders again.

I've had my Sandberg 5 string tuned E-C for years. I didnt make any changes at all but the zero fret helps though they are not common.

Been doing this for years even with distortion/overdrive pedals with dedicated blend control. Great option assuming you got pedal board space. Also, having an LS2 in your arsenal is well worth it.

I have owned the magnificent Strymon Timeline for a couple of years now and have loved it. However, in recent months I have noticed that I have only really been using it for 2 settings; 1) Swell delay, and 2) Trem delay. Therefore, I am considering replacing the Timeline with options targeted to those specific uses. Obviously for the swell setting, I can just use a volume or swell pedal along with a simpler delay pedal so there is no problem there. However, I am struggling to come up with an approach that best replicates the Trem setting which, if you didn't already know, adds a fully customise-able tremolo effect to the delay trails only. So, my question is - does anybody know of a single pedal or modified workaround that can replicate this effect? Note that I am aware of the EHX Deluxe Memory Man which has an effect loop for such a use but I have previously owned that pedal and I didn't get on with it at all. So any other suggestions? Thanks

A few people have mentioned how aging differs between poly and nitro finishing - with that in mind how are the Limelight basses finished? I've been thinking of getting a black jazz with light relicing.

Blooming marvelous that. Out of interest, what strings (brand set/gauges etc.) are you using for the E-F tuning option?
