Thank you for all the responses so far, this is great to hear. I think I'm likely to go for either a Vintage or Vintage Deluxe and use the TC SpectraComp Bass Compressor with it. Just trying to decide which to go for!!

Does anyone have more than one DarkGlass pedal and use them running one in to another? Especially looking at a pair of Vintage pedals or say a BxK and a Vintage. Also, if you have a boost pedal such as a compressor or eq before it, I'd like to hear what the increased gain settings sound like. Anyone seen any video demos? Better still, Douglas, can I borrow a few pedals to test the theory myself?? Cheers all,

Moulded plugs every time especially those such as the ACS above that use the ET type filters (ET being Etymotic Research the company who make the actual filters and process the moulds) When you go to have the ear impressions taken so that the plug fits your ear properly, the audiologist / technician may ask if you'll be using the plugs whilst singing and will ensure that the impression is taken to suit.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1456934772' post='2993757'] If only they were wide enough not to have each end hanging over! [/quote] That's very true..will just have to try out the Barefaced 6x10 / 8x10 then!!

Ooooh she's a beauty!! I have a Marshall Super Bass too. Mine's an interesting story hailing back to '68 / '69 and makes a very lovely sound too. I totally echo your comments about sound. Get it away from those classic sealed cabinet 4x12's and through a Barefaced Big Twin II, it sounds clear and articulate.

[quote name='Callumjord' timestamp='1456777990' post='2992243'] Really looking forward to your review, can't wait to see how this compressor holds up and all of its features. Any chance you will be comparing it to some other compressors out there like the darkglass and Seymour Duncan studio? [/quote] For a pedal that looks so simple on the outside, it's going to need a long review to go through every single feature! - Well, I've already reviewed the SD Studio Bass and we've not had the DG Comp in for review. It's unlikely I'd do a side by side with the SD, but since I own that one too, I can discuss here I guess! [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1456779314' post='2992261'] I've got both of these (the Hypergravity and the Spectracomp). Both are brilliant and using the editor you can assign three parameters to the single knob of the Spectracomp which then increase or decrease uniformly. So basically you can assign very similar mappings to both pedals. I think TC are releasing a Spectracomp toneprint for the HG. I'd be very interested in your review Dood! Steve [/quote] Yes, exactly that! There are so many parameters that can be set under the bonnet. Even down to the ratios of parameter to knob turn. So you could have a gain control that has more effect in the lows and mids than it does on the top end, but all increasing as the control is advanced. As I'd said elsewhere - for those who worry about knocking controls mid gig, well, you can un-assign the controls altogether! I've enjoyed using the HG as a sort of valve-alike EQ & compressor. A great way to add bloom and low end to a signal, blending in with the direct bass tone but not boosting too many frequencies when you're digging in hard (if that even makes sense!!) - I mean, a bit like the ole Aphex Exciter in operation. Another favourite is to split up what would usually be the 'compression' control over two knobs. Middle and low end gets one knob and the top end gets another. A great way to EQ the compression. I could go on, I really could! I'll update the Dood Reviews thread when I have the SpectraComp done.

YAY!!!! SpectraComp arrived just a few hours ago! Very excited and yes it will be getting a full review. Can't believe they've managed to squeeze so much in to a tiny pedal. You can use TonePrints AND the TonePrint Editor with the SpectraComp (as well as the HyperGravity pedal which can too). Oh and guess what - it does 3 band parallel compression. And you know how much I love that!!!

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1443896328' post='2878611'] You're going to be gutted the first chip it gets. It looks too nice to play - it should be hanging in an art gallery [/quote] After owning a couple of basses with flip paint already, I have had to go through that feeling. Especially as the first ding was in a 'top of the range' custom Shuker build! - But on the flipside, basses aren't for hanging on walls, they are for playing and every ding tells a story!! p.s. yeah, gutted though ha ha!

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1456612182' post='2990849'] Dood, I remember you saying about this nearly 10 years ago. I bet it was incredible. [/quote] Time flies eh! - It does make me pause to think that there are people I've 'known' on BassChat for 10 years+, some I have met, but many I only know their BC ID and little else, but we know lots about each other's bass gear history! ha!! If it wasn't for the fact that it's combined weight would be enough to deck a Mini, I'd still be gigging it regularly too! Something had to give and unfortunately the chiropractor bills demonstrate it wasn't the gear!

The SVT 2 Pro is a 300W RMS amp head. The Marshal cabinet will be fine with the amp switched to 4 Ohms and the pair of Edens will be fine also with the amp switched to 2 Ohms. You won't be able to pair all three though, in case you fancied a bit of extra thunder. I used to run mine with a pair of Hartke 4.5XL cabinets and it was a beautiful thing to behold. What a great sound!

I modified the pickup configurations instead and the results have been great on my AB1. I changed them again last week! Preamp is still the three band Glock' which I think will stay! Look up 'DV1' mod on the Dingwall Forum to find out what I'd been up to previously.
