Sold a pedal to Martin. Super easy transaction and great comms throughout - pleasure to deal with! Cheers AK

It's the working man's (and woman's!) BB P34!

"Digital" noise with some of the fx on the B1-4 if you listen very very carefully. But lost completely at volume and / or mid phrase. There was also some electrical interference noise with a previous PSU - but that hasn't been an issue at all with my HB IsoBrick. Maybe I've just got used to it! 😁

Well I'm a massive fan of the 1024/1025s, as I'm sure everyone on this thread is bored of me saying! So whoever picks up that 1024x is in for a treat!

@AndyTravis...somebody mention a Yammy bass in orange (albeit slightly burnt)? 😉

Speaking of Yammy BB 735As just realised what's really holding me back from getting one: if they did a white finish I would get one today! Ok I'm shallow...

All of the above points I agree with - except that they are all positives for me! I love my cabs to have clarity and articulation and the F112 delivers this in spades (and I'm sure the BB2 will too). Here's a clip I've posted elsewhere of the F112 in action, live - have a listen through decent headphones if you can - I thought the bass cut through / sounded fine in the mix?

Pulling you onto this thread if I may. I've actually now got both a BB2 and a Fearless 112 - one of the pitfalls of starting a thread eh? 😁 I've not, unfortunately, had a chance to try the BB2 out in anger yet as I literally bought just a few days before the national lockdown was announced back in March - so I would recommend you check the opening posts for some really good comparisons - particularly @funkle's. And you'll have probably seen that there is a vgc F112 on for a great price in the FS - I've been very tempted to get it myself as a pairing for my existing F112, but I suspect there won't be too many occasions with my bands that would justify having a pair of them on stage!

Probably one for the Yammy store in London - drop them an email?

Yup and if a BB 2005 comes up at the same price...!

I'm not a C4 owner - but what an amazingly generous resource to be providing for free to your fellow bass-players. Bravo mate!

Just clicked on a couple of Yammy 735As and was gobsmacked by their current new retail prices! Actually there is one place still selling them at the old prices...Bass Direct (£749), but a couple of retailers were in the £850 ball park and the Yammy store in London has it on for an eye watering £934!

I can't be bothered to do that.

One so far in the US 😁 And it would only likely apply to Stomp owners on this specific point, anyway, as HX Effects has a few more blocks already. I think his key point is that the limitation on blocks arises because Helix is over-engineering their sims? Which is the corollary of your point that a lot of guitar effects are pretty simple. - I was more interested if you, as one of our BC electronics experts, agrees he makes a fair point? Be very interesting to see if Helix allow more blocks in the Stomp on their next software update.

Interesting observation from the US thread: "As for the power comparison, this is where I put on my computer scientist hat and respond: Who cares? The only measurable end-to-end benchmark unit here is the number of effects you can stack. Boss runs circles around the big Helix in that department, actual processor specs don't matter. Maybe Line 6 is wasting (edit: replace wasting with spending, perfect emulation may matter more to some than having more effects) all those computation cycles on emulating the amps and effects down to minute details, but to my ears Boss was as good as any other digital box."

But it's not true across the board is it? British Leyland?? Dammit you're right about that bloody bass! How come you've not mentioned that before and more to the point how come I never noticed? It's going straight back to Wunjos. I'll just pretend I was the original purchaser...

Sounds? Come on, he doesn't actually use it! It's on display in his front room 😁

Very well loved from what I can tell. Only issue: Tech 21 in their wisdom have discontinued and there a bit hen's teeth!

No worries. Btw - was a genuine question about when else you've experienced gear failure besides your Stomp, in particular anything else in the past decade since 2010? As I mentioned, I'm kinda hoping that QC may be on the up compared to what it was a few decades back.

+1 ^^ the sexiest! 😎

Mesa M6 - still outshines every D class head I've owned. Honourable mention to the Peavey Tour 450 I had when I started out as a newbie and well before I could appreciate the build and tonal quality it delivered.

@hemdee666 - nice job! Looks like the work of the devil to me! 😁

I know these guys are a bit marmite - personally I love the zany energy of their reviews! This will give an idea of what the core will deliver with the current V3 software. The wah (1.48) and the Entwistlesque drive (2.55) demo'd are good and the X drive multiband distortion also sounds promising.

Ahh excellent! Yeah I found my 1025 and P35 were similarly well matched, with the P35 just edging it overall. Interestingly the gritty J on the 1025 actually works really well on the low B string in the mix. Your P34 will also be a little lighter than my former P35 which should make it super comfortable to play.
