  1. Boxed as new Deluxe version with.... Wooden box Multi coloured LED Bandana The LAB is an optical compressor. It uses custom optocouplers to achieve up to 30dB of musical-sounding compression. We loved how in the recording studio even with tons of compression the old optical compressors such as the LA-2A, the LA-3, the LA-4 sounded smooth and natural. The essence of the LAB's sound comes from the fast attack and slow release times of the custom optocoupler. The optocoupler's behaviour is quite complex, and program-dependent. It can't be modelled with simple resistor-capacitor networks. We wanted the pure response of the optocoupler to define the LAB's dynamics, and not supplement that with RC filtering. To that end, we tried out just about every off-the-shelf optocoupler on the market, but ended up designing and manufacturing our own custom units. There's an interplay between dynamics, noise floor, distortion, and available compression on the one hand, and the opto's electrical parameters on the other. Since nothing commercially available fit the bill, we built our own. With just two controls – compression and gain make-up – the LAB is fast and simple to use. It sounds great on bass and electric guitar, and the noise floor is impressive – quiet enough for studio use. It really shines on acoustic guitar, vocals and drums.

  2. Bought from Thomann for over £300. Boxed as new. API TranZformer LLX Transformer / Bass EQ, Boost and Overdrive Pedal The API Tranzformer LLX is the latest in APIs line of guitar pedals. The LLX incorporates APIs legendary EQ circuit into a versatile and compact bass guitar pedal. The LLX offers +/- 15dB of gain on 3 bass guitar specific frequencies; 100Hz, 400Hz and 2kHz. The gain stage can be switched from clean boost to overdrive, which drives the input OpAmp and adds even more tone. The LLX also features a buffered bypass, -20dB output pad, selectable peak/shelf for upper frequency range, transformer output and of course the classic API sound. Features Proprietary API 2510 OpAmp Signature API output transformer 3-band EQ, each with +/- 15dB of gain OpAmp overdrive circuit 40 dB of gain -20 dB output pad Buffered bypass Specifications Input connection: 1/4" Hi-Z unbalanced instrument input Input Impedance: 1MΩ Bypass: Yes, buffered, 0dB Output connections: 1/4" Hi-Z unbalanced output Output Impedance: Hi-Z output: Less than 1kΩ Input Gain Control: 0dB-40dB, Variable Output Pad: 0dB to -20dB, Switched Maximum output level before clipping: +15dBu (9VDC) +22dBu (18VDC) Frequency Response: +0dB, -1dB, 20-20kHz (tone controls at center detent) Tone Control: 100Hz & 400Hz Peaking, 2kHz Shelving/Peaking (w/switch), continuously-variable boost/cut, +/-15dB range. API 2510 amplifier overdrive (Switched) placed before tone controls. Clean boost amplifies the signal with no added distortion. Power Supply: 9-18VDC @ 100mA Size: 4.6” x 3.8” x 3” Size (Boxed for Shipping): 6” x 4.5” x 4.5” Actual Weight: 1.5 lbs. Shipping Weight: 2 lbs. £185 UK posted.

You lucky, lucky guitarists! We might have started working on the electronics for our first bass amp in 2017 but the skinny stringers are the first to get a Barefaced amp product! We've combined a really nice preamp design which is super clean and accurate with a crazy efficient amp module. This miracle of tone (or maybe absence of tone?) and power has been squeezed into a tiny package that fits into every single AVD guitar cab we make, right from the tiny Upsetter 110 to the bassist-scaring Upsizing 215. There are two choices for the Activier - the 1 (single channel, i.e. mono), and the 2 (dual channel, i.e. stereo). The Activier 1 has a single input, single gain knob, and single external speakon for an extension speaker. The Activier 2 has two inputs, two gain knobs and two external speakons. Logical! Rumour has it that if you follow the link in our bio then you can place a pre-order... And BASSISTS- we have an update for you next week...
  9. Sam bought a cab from me. He is a real gentleman. I recommend him as a buyer with no hesitation. It was great to meet another fantastic Basschatter. Marc
  10. It's not hard. I fitted it under the FB by squishing it down a bit. Also worked between the bridge arch. Regards Marc
