  1. Very nice.
  2. Any users out there... I'm about to buy one and would like to know how you guys have got on with the Nux.
  3. Interesting that there has been no replies. Is no one interested in Markbass anymore?
  4. I need one to go with my Silver Burst. Red or Blue?

    I agree Alex, I have the Orange Bass Butler and the symbols are much easier to read when space is limited. Symbols are a positive step forward.

    We are all having a hard time. I haven't worked for 9 months, I'm living off my wife's wages.

    I don't mean to put this new adventure from Barefaced down but I was also expecting an amp to match their great range of cabs. I feel the Orange Bass Butler offers so much more with an onboard compressor, two DI outs with cab Sims and a similar parallel distortion / clean signal path. I honestly wish Alex well with this pedal and I look forward to a Basschat review very soon.
  11. Looks very promising. Wonder how it compares to the Orange bass butler?
  12. 200 watts from the 6550s. Plenty for most gigs that I will do. As we all know there is not much different in perceived volume between 200 and 280 watts. Sounds great to my ears.
  13. Thank you Floyd. 😀 I really appreciate your response, great review.
  14. Could you write a review of the amp now you have had it a few days. I would like to hear your thoughts because I'm thinking of getting one. Many thanks.
  15. Any chance of actual pictures please.
  16. Just a quick follow up on my YI-200 review. On firing up the amp one morning after a few weeks use I discovered a horrible distorted noise coming from the speakers. I opened the back to view the valves and one was glowing very blue.😡 After a quick conversation with Martin at Stoneham the amp was boxed up and sent to him. Two days later we talked and one of the KT120 valves had cracked. Martin advised that he preferred the 6550 valve because of it reliability and sound. He swapped over the valves did a bias check and soaked tested it for 5 days. This morning it arrived back 😄 and sounds fantastic. I would like to thank Martin for his quick response and very professional attitude and advice in sorting out my valve problem. I thoroughly recommend Martin for his amazing product and professional attitude to his customers. Thanks again Martin.
  17. I bought and sent back the light weight version on the Warwick 2x8 cab. It farted at medium volume and had no deep bass. It was just a midrange cab. If partnered with a 1x15 it might make sense but as a stand alone cab it was very poor, even for the bargain Thomann price.
  18. I'm sending it back Plugged headphones in and it buzzes. Utter crap ... It could of been so good. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
  19. I've just tested it with a 9 volt recharge battery pack and it is noisy. With the internal battery it is silent. ( No noise issues ) Price is adjusted to reflect this. I have only used it with a battery until now.
  20. The only way to stop it clipping and distorting is to back off the input gain to the noon position. This is a long way before the clip light and compressor kicks in at the 4 o'clock position, which is supposed to be the proper clip indicating position. Best to use your ears rather than the indication LED. This of course leaves the compressor redundant, its threshold is set way to high and there is no way to change it. 😒 The EQ and Enhance knob work really well and the DI and main output have a cleanish output. Overall it's a good pedal for £60. I certainly would not of paid nearly £150 when they first came out. I will give it a few more days before it might go back.
  21. I've just received one for an early Xmas present from the wife. If I boost the bass just a little it distorts a very long way before the clip light and compressor kicks in. The only way to sort it is to turn down the gain so much the compressor hasn't got a hope in hell of working..... Useless. This makes the compressor redundant. The eq is pretty good with a lot of scope to adjust the sound. Has anyone else had this gain problem.
