Another vote for the Nux from me! (I went for the blue option)

Looking at the schematic it adds an extra resistor in the input path so it looks like it knocks DB's off rather than effect the gain knob behaviour but in practice it seems pretty subtle

Attack - 9'oclock Release - 3 o'clock Squeeze - 3 o'clock volume - midday Yes first in line!

Good to know that's a normal function! And thanks for the tip on emailing Orange, I'd read on another forum their customer service was iffy but maybe they were just unlucky!

It is yes. Sorry I got the name slightly wrong, it's BAD Mofo (and it is). It comes in mini or large variations, there's no difference in functions except the mini fits nicely in a 1590B enclosure (a bit tight but not nothing too much to worry about). https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/product/badmofomini https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/product/badmofo

It's a really useful pedal, you can dial in a really wide range of sounds, I'd also recommend the little Mofo preamp - 4 different amp modes with some really nice overdrive/fuzz if you push it

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to compressors but I'm a bit puzzled with the behaviour of my Kongpressor. When I increase the squash (turning it clockwise) it also increases the volume. Is this normal behaviour for the Kongpressor as you'd think more compression would lower the volume? Also on many youtube videos you see the orange light triggering while they play but on mine it takes a crazy amount of boost - I have to put my passive bass through a pre-amp ramped up to get it to light up, is that normal behaviour for the Kongpressor or should I return it? Many thanks if anyone can help!

Yeah, I think it probably is a modding for modding's sake if I'm being completely honest. Having set it up I've not had any problems with intonation or sustain. You can fall into a trap of thinking more expensive will mean better rather than if it's not broke....

You know I never thought about it much, I kinda assumed it would improve the instrument and maybe I was just getting carried away after changing the tuning heads (which have definitely made a difference). Having looked into more maybe it's not such a great idea after all!

Hello my bass playing friends, Just wondering if anyone can suggest a bridge such as Gotoh to upgrade my Sire U5? Possibly with little or no modification (i.e extra drilling) would be really nice! Many thanks!

Hello fellow Basschatters, I love my short scale U5 but it is a bit top heavy. I was wondering if anybody out there in Basschat land would happen to know of a suitable lightweight replacement for it? And if possible is there a drop tuner that would fit too? Thanks and appreciation in advance. Paul
