You can get a 2PDT momentary switch quite easily.

If you want an LED, it means the circuit will be passive and require a 3PDT switch. I'm sure you can get a momentary 3PDT switch but I would imagine they're quite expensive.[/quote]

Thankyou sir!

Hi,

I'd like to make a true bypass loop pedal with a momentary switch instead of a latching switch. I understand i'd need four jack connectors and a momenatry switch and a box to put em in but im unsure of how it would be wired. What sort of switch would i need? SPDT/DPDT etc

Please help

[quote name='cheddatom' post='587600' date='Sep 2 2009, 03:56 PM']you need a momentary footswitch with 9 poles or something on it, and 4 jack sockets. I'm sure someone on here is kind enough to draw a diagram for you but it's almost just common sense. You can't break anything anyway. The bit that costs is the box to put it in, perhaps you have an old pedal you could use the box of.[/quote]

I know what you mean. I'll look into it! Thanks:)

[quote name='gnasher1993' post='587641' date='Sep 2 2009, 04:34 PM']I could make you a simple trem pedal if you wanted. So... every time you press the switch down, the signal drops. So it's kind of like a manual tremolo, pretty cool for some rhythmic effects. PM me if you're interested.[/quote]

No its gonna need to be quite a fast trem and I want it to be a sine or at least a tri lfo wave so no good but thanks for your kind offer.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='587535' date='Sep 2 2009, 02:44 PM']It might be easier to make yourself a momentary bypass loop (very simple) and buying a cheap tremolo.[/quote]

Yeah i was thinking about this. Are there any plans anywhere for a momentary bypass loop? Would i just mod an existing pedal?

[quote name='iamapirate' post='587496' date='Sep 2 2009, 02:10 PM']What would be the part-ex price on an ODB-3? obviously quite a lot of money your way [/quote]

Yeah quite a bit i guess especially as im not really interested in owning a ODB 3.

Sorry :0)

I'm thinking strongly about selling this awesome pedal as i'm no longer making any use of it.
Its been gigged quite a bit so has a couple of scratches, no box, not original PSU etc.

It has had problems in the past with the stomp switches not working the first time but ive fixed this by opening it up and cleaning up the actual switches under the plastic stomp pedals.

Apart from this it's allways worked perfectly and still sounds as good as the day I bought it new about nine years ago. It is an awesome pedal and i'll be sad to let it go, its been with me for a large chapter of my bass playing life ;(

However as its not in fantastic condition i'm not expecting to get top dollar for it so make me a offer or a swap and i'll consider. This could be you chance to pick up a bit of bass fx history for a bargain price.

PS No pic as yet cos I dont have a digital camera, but my mate does so there will be one up soon.

PPS No i don't want to swap for a digi camera!!!

Im looking to purchase a tremolo pedal with a momentary footswitch so i can just dab on a bit of trem when needed.

In addition it needs to have a very clean signal path (eg not cutting off any bass, sucking tone when on or off, etc etc).

Im aware the Guyatone Ultratrem fits the bill, but the bill doesn't fit in my wallet! Nearly £400 for a trem pedal! I dont need all its features.

Hope someone can help.

[quote name='Kev' post='586760' date='Sep 1 2009, 07:03 PM']Exactly. Its very easy to imply that it is the best bass synth pedal ever, but will it actually deliver? Definitly need to try one out. IME listening to sound samples don't really give you an accurate indication of what a synth pedal can do. I was very much looking forward to the chunk synth, but after hearing the sound samples i was very dissapointed, but apparantly its a very good synth.[/quote]

Yeah ive got to admit im not blown away by the chunk OS samples aswell. The reason I dont think its very good is cos its limited to one oscillator like all the predecessors (G5, Deep Impact etc etc). Fingers crossed the markbass will deliver. Surely some of the other pedals in the range have actually hit the shelves by now? If we get an idea of the quality of those versus well known makes we can begin to predict if the super synth will live up to expectations.

Anybody?

[quote name='Kev' post='586634' date='Sep 1 2009, 04:35 PM']I cannot stand the ashdown pedals. Because these are a rip of their design (why!!!), it actually really puts me off even considering one, stupid as it is Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to put them in that sort of enclosure?[/quote]

The Markbass site indicates that this pedal could be the most advanced synth bass pedal ever! I've gotta admit i'm not mad keen about the design of the box either but is it really a big issue? Don't judge a book by its cover! Unfortunately all we have to go off with this book is the cover at the mo.
Grrr when am i gonna get to read a review/hear clips/read manual!!!

Any news here? Thread gone a bit dead!

Does anyone know what the spec on the super synth is gonna be like?

How many oscillators etc etc Any screen shots of the editor on the PC? The info on the markbass website indicates this!!!

"The smooth, deep sounds include wavetable, analog, and FM-style synth bass"

Anybody got one of these effects yet then?

Thank you Silent Fly

Your help is very much appreciated!

either red onion needs to improve its search ranking or I need to go on a course on how to use search engines properly.

Ive been looking for a UK based company like that for ages!!

Thanks

[quote name='Silent Fly' post='418669' date='Feb 24 2009, 08:38 PM']In other words, if "both" is activated, part of In.A will go to Out.B and vice versa. I can’t see a solution to this unless you use an active circuit.[/quote]

The Amp Out was an after thought as we're planning on using DIs though a combined system for ease of transport. If you can do it without going active loosing the Amp Out is definitely an option as it isn't an essential part of the system.

How would it work if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks again

[quote name='Silent Fly' post='418638' date='Feb 24 2009, 07:40 PM']Sorry bassplayer88 but I can't understand exactly what the "Both" footswith should do:



Input A ---> Out A
Input B ---> Out B
Input A+InputB ---> Amp Out

Is it this what you had in mind?

What do would you like to send to the Tuner when the "Tuner" footswitch is activated? In.A + In.B?[/quote]

Yeah in the "Both" state it would be like you said

Input A ---> Out A
Input B ---> Out B
Input A+InputB ---> Amp Out

Im guessing the tuner would go last. As I'd want whatever was going out of the Amp out (either A or B or Both)before tuner switch was pressed to go out of the tuner. This is because id also be using the tuner line as a cue switch (headphone amp) for tweaking sounds and working out lines mid song.
I'm trying to sort this out for a improvising dubstep band i'm working with.

Hope you can advise

Hi,

I'm trying to find or custom order or possibly even make a A/B Both and Tuner Mute pedal with dual inputs & four outputs. Is this even possible!?!?
Ill explain what I need, hope its not too boring!

The pedal would have two inputs lets say A and B.

The pedal would have four outputs Output A, Output B, Amp Out, and Tuner.

There would be 3 pedals.

[b]A/B[/b] - Would select between the two inputs.

If Input A is selected it would output through Output A and Amp Out. Input B would not output anywhere.

If Input B is selected it would output through Output B and Amp Out. Input A would not output anywhere.

[b]Both[/b] - If both is selected the signals output from their respective outputs separately but from the Amp OUT combined.
[b]
Tuner Mute[/b] - If tuner is selected all outputs are killed except the Tuner.

Is this possible, does anybody know anyone who could help?!?!

Thanks

Hi There's a new post up with photos and all the info you could need. I think.

This link should work [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20771"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20771[/url]

Hi im selling my lovely Roland DB-900 bass combo. The reason for the sale is because it is a little too big and impractical for my needs (especially as I dont drive).

It's in perfect working order allthough is is suffering from some slight cosmetic blemishes. It has been use for gigs quite a bit over the last year and a half since I bought it.

Blemishes include:
Scratch above master pot (can be seen on 2nd photo).
Cigarette burn to the carpet on the top. Its more of a singe that has caused the plasic based carpet to become shiny rather than fluffy. Only in a tiny area smaller than a square inch.
Power plug is slightly bent. Two posi and neg plugs (not the earth) are slightly bent inwards which makes it slightly more difficult than normal to plug in and unplug. I would be happy to replace the plug if buyer would like that.

Here is some general spec and stuff from roland:

DB-900: D-Bass Amplifier
Features
An extremely powerful combo amp, the flagship DB-900 D-Bass™ Amplifier uses Feed Forward Processing (FFP) to maximize punch and clarity via a 320-watt amplifier and custom seven-speaker system. Combined with built-in COSM® Amp modeling, split-frequency D-Chorus and programmable digital memories, the DB-900 is the ultimate digital bass amp for touring and recording professionals.


Powerful 320-watt bass combo amp with Feed Forward Processing for maximum punch and clarity
Custom 7-speaker system: 4 x10" speakers, horn tweeter and 2 x 12" Passive Radiator speakers
COSM Amp Modeling provides solid/tube/tube drive sounds
Built-in compression, 3-band EQ and split-frequency D-Chorus effects
Programmable memories can be recalled via buttons or optional footswitches
High-quality DI output (XLR type), plus 1/4" output for recording
Dedicated Insert jack for routing external effects through the amp
Rugged design with heavy-duty side handles and casters


Leave Your Stack at Home
Amazing, but true… The DB-900’s combination of four 10-inch speakers, a horn tweeter, two 12-inch Passive Radiator speakers, and a 320-watt amplifier give this combo amp the sound of a full stack, and then some! That’s because the DB-900 is powered by FFP, a proprietary technology that can “sense” incoming signals and adjust the response characteristics of amplifier and speaker output for greater efficiency. The result is that the DB-900 delivers incredible punch and clarity that must be heard to be believed.
A Digital Amp with Analog Soul
With onboard COSM Amp modeling, the DB-900 can faithfully recreate anything from warm tube drive sounds to tight solid-state tones—complete with a Shape switch for additional sonic variations. Tone can be further tweaked using 3-band EQ (with parametric midrange), compression and a unique split-frequency D-Chorus effect, capable of producing smooth chorus on the high-end without muddying the lows. Tones can then be stored to digital memories for instant recall via front-panel buttons or optional footswitches.

One for the Road
The DB-900 is made with true road-warriors in mind. Its rock-solid construction and fanless cooling system can withstand years of abuse, while convenient side handles and casters will make your roadie smile (especially if that roadie happens to be you). And with its high-quality DI output—plus additional 1/4-inch Line and Headphone outputs—you’re ready for just about any performance or recording situation.
