Didn’t they change the bridge saddle alignment due to flea’s feedback? Hence some bridges with a straighter string run being called the ‘flea bridge’ - so it sounds like EB listened to player feedback even if it didn’t result in an sig bass.

I’m in Sicily at the moment and the hire car has Apple Car Play so I can browse basschat for basses whilst driving on the wrong side of the road Luckily I got full insurance cover

I know what you mean. Thankfully the controls are all quite intuitive. The pedal has to be first in the chain for the impedance switch to make any difference, I think - and it will affect pedals after it (you can use full clean blend). They also do a loop pedal with the switch for the same purpose. The phase switch is my fave part, it really helps thicken some of the sounds
-
Really enjoying it. It covers lots of sounds. I’ve A/B tested with other drives I really like and it gets really close to them all, and where it’s a bit different I prefer the Valco. It responds better to a passive bass I think, and the blend control has most of the action in a small portion of the travel (or sounds like that to me) but like you say the impedance switch makes everything else change, so it adjusts where and how the clipping happens. I suppose the only issue is that there are too many options so if I didnt have my ‘reference’ pedals to compare to I’d probably feel a bit lost!!!
-
Yeah I recognise the wear pattern above the scratchplate I think (how sad is that). No reason to think it’s dodgy though, it looks great!
-
I feel like I’ve seen that one before somewhere. 🤔

Just saw this. Assuming it’s all ok it’s a good price. It’s in France, but still. https://reverb.com/item/70193999-mu-tron-mutron-iii-1970s-white?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=70193999

I wrongly assumed the Keeley has an input gain and output level, most of the comps I’ve used have that setup
-
Ah I see, yes in that case the threshold's your boy

Might I recommend Transferwise for overseas payments? Works really well and is super quick. -
No probs, someone will no doubt be along to correct me but that's how it's always worked in my head! As for your amp, it's kind of the same - gain up until you feel it reacts best, whether that's slight saturation or the best signal/noise ratio, then output vol to taste. Usually the best place is so that the gain clip light flashes when you play your hardest, which is basically doing the same as an indicator on a compressor would do, except on an amp it overdrives the preamp, on a comp it starts to compress or limit.
-
It's why metering is useful on compressors like the MXR, but you can tell by setting your desired ratio and backing off the gain until it does what sounds best, probably upping the output to match. I'm not familiar with the Keeley but they mostly act in the same way. More gain in = more immediate crossing of the threshold into the ratio you set. Time to play!
-
Is this an input gain? You want to set the gain so that your bass sends enough signal to the compression circuit. Too low and the pedal won't do anything, too high and it'll squish too much. Once set you shouldn't need to adjust it again unless you switch instruments.
-
Yeah I know what you mean, it sort of gives a bit of ‘hair’ that makes the bass almost ‘feel’ louder if that makes sense!
-
Bought a pedal from Steve, flawless deal with super fast postage, thanks!
-
I did wonder about that... the Mutron feet are quite chunky squares of rubber so I wonder if they'd fit into the gaps, and if the gaps would be spaced appropriately? I'll get the tape measure out. The Bassballs is less of a prob as the feet are detachable with screws.
-
😆 you’d definitely know if a Mutron hit you in the head. Tbh I think you’d be in the big house on a manslaughter charge
-
Thanks I did wonder about that but the pedals are really heavy so I’m not sure if trust it!
-
Thanks mate yes that seems like the best option. I've nearly ordered a few times so glad I checked first! Hope you're doing well.

Swing and a miss for me; it would be quite tasty if the neck was more sunk into the body. Sort of like a J to the mustang’s P.

Aye I've got Elixir rounds on mine -
I must admit that I find a phase switch really useful (on my Valco KGB fuzz pedal) - seems to be something the LS2 is missing?
