*SOLD* Ashdown James LoMenzo Hyperdrive OD pedal
Dosi Y'Anarchy replied to agroupuk's topic in Effects For Sale
this pedal sold then? -
Boss Synth and Analog delay SOLD pending payment -
i've never heard that much of the DHA stuff, but I agree with Kev that they are completely different, IMO the Blowtorch does synthy fuzz better than most, but i doubt you could get a tubey tone out of it (regardless what the manual says) you can get more conventional fuzz sounds of it, but for me thats wasting what the pedal really excels at. I could easily justify having both on my board (if i didnt have a VTbass or a Green Stache muff clone)

Malekko B:assmaster - would someone lend me one?
Dosi Y'Anarchy replied to Toasted's topic in Effects
i loved my Silicon b:assmaster, but the germanium sounded quite ordinary to me. The silicon was great for that 'feel good hit of the summer' sound, but I sort of discovered that it was pointless having both a silicon B:assmaster and a MXR Bass blowtorch, as they're both very mid-rangey and both can be quite synthy, so i sold the B:assmaster and kept the blowtorch (the only pedal that has remained on my board over the past 2 years). both pedals cut through the mix amazingly, i found the B:assmaster solo'd sounded scary-loud compared to when it was in a mix - however mine may have been a one off as i sent mine to Josh (from Malekko) with a defective switch and he told me the entire pedal was faulty and that it was one of the worst sounding B:assmasters he'd heard- i thought it sounded awesome though. If i had a b:assmaster to lend, id lend it. I do have a blowtorch im willing to lend if you fancy it? however might have to wait a few weeks as im recording the next couple of sundays -
hey, the boss DD7 can be got for about £100 and i think it has a 40sec loop - double that of the DL-8

Here are some of my pedals that are for sale or trade, preferably sale, but if you got anything interesting, hit me up, im not really looking for anymore fuzz/od tho. Im trying to get rid of the stuff i dont think ill use in my band, so i can afford thing that i think i will use. Ok first off is the [b]Boss SYB-3 Bass Synthesizer[/b] - this pedal is FAULTY, so the price is £25 posted anywhere in the uk. Details [b]Just tried out the pedal for the first time in months, and it seems to be working perfectly - including the fantastic Sample-and-hold feature, but I have had issues with it in the past:[/b] It switches on fine, the effect seems to sound fine, but there is some issue with the switch/bypass, if you switch the pedal off, your signal dies with it, This has also seemed to effect the clean blend feature too in the past. This switch/bypass issue means that the 'sample and hold' feature is pretty much out of bounds when the pedal is acting up. Even when the pedal is being temperamental the SYB-3 is still useable in an effects loop, and with the Boss Line Selector (that im also selling) you'd be able to switch the pedal on and off AND provide the clean blend. The Syb-3 has some great analog synth sounds and sounds really fantastic before a fuzz pedal. The Fact that its been temperamental (and that i have 2 other synth/filter pedals - one of which im selling here) has been my reason for not using it live, but id happily use it for its sounds on home recordings, and the sample-and-hold is one of the best features ive ever seen in a pedal, for those who dont know sample-and-hold allows you to play clean under a sustained synthesized note. Play the note, hold the footswitch down, the note will then sustain, leaving you to play clean bass underneath it. As mentioned, the pedal has just been tested and plays fine, however it has given me issues in the past, so im not going to BS you and sell its perfect. powered from standard 9v adapter or battery Next Up: [b]Guyatone TZ-2 The Fuzz[/b] - £50 posted to the UK first, heres a very good review by Grygryx (Talkbass member) on his excellent website bassfuzz.com: [url="http://bassfuzz.com/2008/09/21/guyatone-tz-2-the-fuzz-review/"]http://bassfuzz.com/2008/09/21/guyatone-tz...he-fuzz-review/[/url] A very 'shreddy' pedal, with crazy octave/ring mode effects when you play chords high up on the bass. I feel its more useable on guitar (my guitarist believes it to be much more intense than his russian muff) as its lowend isnt amazing, but for rip-roaring bass solos, this thing will melt faces. My Girlfriend got it for me for our anniversary (along with a micropog), and i hate to sell it as im currently using it with my Micropog for distorted guitar-unison lines, but needs must when the devil drives. This pedal is tiny - see grygryx's images - and will fit into pedalboard spaces where others will not. Powered with regular 9v adapter or 9v battery. [b] Artec Analog Delay[/b] - £35 posted anywhere in the UK bought this quite recently, been using it with my micropog for delayed guitar-like lines over clean bass, sounds great. Powered with regular 9v adapter or 9v battery. [b] Ibanez SB-7 Synthesizer Bass[/b] - £30 posted A great Autowah/'synth' effect, essentially an 2 lowpass filters (i think) one clean (Autowah),one with distortion (Synth 1), and a bandpass filter with distortion (synth 2), Also has a Decay switch for fast or slow decay, plus tone-lok controls for Sensitivity, Frequency and resonance, as well as LEVEL (volume) - most autowahs ive played dont have a volume control even though ive found they'd often benefit from one, well this has one and it can be pretty useful. Like all ibanez Tone-lok pedals, the switch can be temperamental from time to time, but this is common with tone-lok series. I Paid £80 for this new, and im sorry to see it go so cheap, but ill admit i got ripped off for £80. Powered with regular 9v adapter or 9v battery. [b] Boss LS-2 Line Selector[/b] - £45 posted one of the most useful pedals ever, and no doubt ill be buying another one soon enough, but at the moment its surplus, so its up for grabs. Powered with regular 9v adapter or 9v battery. I usually post via Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery, Paypal payments please. Any Questions, requests for more photos, just ask Thanks Theo

sorry to drag up this old thread, but I also have an Attitude Special that im loving, does anyone have any idea what they would have retailed at new/would be worth? I dont have any intention of selling, but I have an old issue of Bass Guitar Magazine (over a year old) that has Manson's selling a used one for £145 which isnt much less than i paid for mine off ebay, and also i've just purchased a DiMarzio Will Power neck humbucker, it hasnt arrived yet, but might I run into problems trying to wire it up to the Special? being that the Attitude LTD has two outputs and the Special has one? Also some sites mention the Willpower neck pickup on the LTD II has a high-cut switch, I wasnt aware of this before hand and dont really know what to do with it/where to put it/how to fit it. I dont mess with my electronics usually, but by all right the only thing separating this from the higher priced models is the electronics and output options.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='376177' date='Jan 10 2009, 02:33 PM']Blummin Eck! That was quick![/quote] Yeah, well i thought id try the multidrive out to see what it could offer, but between my VTbass, my Green Stache (GGG-tuned Big muff) and my MXR Bass Blowtorch, I think i got most of the drive/fuzz bases covered, I love OD and fuzzes, but i need something significantly different to really justify it on my board. The Multidrive sounded good, but not as good as my VTbass to my ears. -
sold

Up for grabs here is my EBS Multidrive. I Only got this recently off another Basschat member, but have decided that my VT Bass is more than enough for an overdrive, so im selling the MultiDrive off. There are 3 modes: TUBESIM - does what it says: simulates an overdriven tube amp adds extra harmonics and compression with the overdrive to your signal STD - I assume means Standard - a less tubey but still very organic overdrive, leaves your low frequencies untouched for the best bass response FLAT - the overdrive is accross the entire frequency spectrum, as opposed to leaving the low clean. the other controls are DRIVE and VOLUME, and there's a Switch on the side for Active or Passive opperation, which is very useful for those of you with active/high output basses/guitars. The Pedal is in amazing condition and built like a tank, no scratches or damage, everything working properly. The Multidrive runs on a 9v adaptor, or battery, however apparently will not work with a daisy-chain/one-spot type power supply, as it must have its own isolated power output. Unfortunately I dont have the original box or instructions, but some can be found on the EBS website. This pedal is on sale elsewhere, but out of respect to the previous owner, on BassChat im selling the multidrive for what I Paid, as opposed to what I think i could get. so just to you BassChat pimps 'n' hoe's I offer: £70 including postage to anywhere in the UK fair? Paypal only please,

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='346050' date='Dec 5 2008, 02:26 AM']I can't remember what the MicroPOG behaves like, but certainly my OC-2 can and does track my dynamics well enough. I pump it into an envelope-following filter regularly and get very predictable performance from the filter.[/quote] yeah but surely thats the nature of the envelop of the octave, do you run dry signal through your octave pedal or is it purely oct-1 or oct-2? I'd got as far as to say that running a octave pedal into a filter is a great way to ensure a predictable performance from a filter, as the output isnt as dynamically varied. what i meant is that it doesnt seem to matter too much whether you play soft or hard with any octave pedal, in my experience (i've owned an OC-2, 2x Oc-3s, 2x Micro Pogs and a Harley benton Super octave, as well as a 2x Bass Micro synths which have a great analog octave circuit) especially something like an OC2/3, if you play harder on an OC2/3, your tone isnt really gonna change is it? playing gently just seems to bring up tracking/note stability issues (sometimes) Having said that, i have noticed that the MicroPOG does respond a bit dynamically, but in my opinion its a case of the harder you play the worse it seems to sound, especially fingerstyle. if anyone has any other opinions or experience on this, please feel free to chip in, I could well be talking out of my a*se, but this is just what ive noticed.

You tried a Sansamp Bass Driver?, The tone to me sounds like a cranked SVT, so the Sansamp or a VTbass might be more up your street, Possibly the VT bass due to its Character and Mids EQ controls, but both should be able to get that tone.

I've owned two black russian muffs, and one Sovtek Green muff(which i sold to my drummer and used last night). Personally i think the black russians that i've tried are great, they've been the most modern designs (not too sure of the spec, but they dont have the metal 'railings' of some of the older models), with the tone down they hold the bass and are fat and furry. The green sovtek sounds excellent too, never A/B'd them tho. The Green one seem'd to be bassier AND more aggressive, and even on low gain settings it sounds wonderful to me. however i remember my impressions of the black russians differed a bit bettween the two. My first seemed bassier (i only sold it coz i got the Green muff) while the second seemed less impressive to me, although physically they were the same (except the second one was wired backwards) oh and for what its worth, although EXH imply that the Bass Big Muff is based on the Green Sovtek Muff, when i asked whether it was i received an email telling me that due to the rarity of Green Muffs, they actually based it on a black one as they didnt have any green ones to compare it with. Also, as a note, if you do get a black or especially the green muff, be prepared to re-solder the battery clip - its an old pedal and it might need doing. oh yeah, EHX's quality control is famously bad, apparently Carlos Santana tried a pile of like 100 big muffs before he found the one he liked, so just because its got muff on it, doesnt mean its gonna be the best muff ever, Although the consensus is that the Green Sovteks are all the 'best' and the most bass-friendly. thats my 2-cents

Heres the demo, its pretty long tho (over 5 minutes) [url="http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7118473"]http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7118473[/url] im trying to show the full capabilities of the MicroPOG, even if some of the sounds arent that useable/pleasant. I'm usually playing clean every time before i kick the micropog in. chain goes Fender Jaguar Bass -> MicroPOG -> Line6 TonePort GX (no amp/cab sim although a chorus is used with chords later in the demo) occationally im using a clean-blended Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Classic Fuzz. I noticed while doing this demo that the microPOG seemed to sound much better (tighter, more natural) when i used a pick. Most of the demo is played finger style, but i think i change to a pick about 3/4 way through

At least give us a price range, i hear the Digitech Bad Monkey is pretty awesome, and you can get that for around £30, (or you could get a Humphrey Mods Badder Bass Monkey from the states), or you can shell out £150-ish and get a Tech21 VTbass. I had a black Marshall Guv'nor, tried it for about 15mins then sold it, couldnt get any low-end out of it, did kinda sound like I was playing through a Marshall guitar head tho, also they're discontinued now so they get more expensive all the time, it might be worth trying the new one and adding a clean blend. I reckon the new one could be just as good as the old one, but Tim Commerford used the black one, so thats what alot of bass players go for. I also have owned two EHX English Muff'n's, they are awesome, but personally i found they lost too much low/low-mids to be heard in a mix, but it really was like playing through a Marshall tube amp, and sounded fantastic. I've since sold both, but wouldnt say no to a new one, now that i can blend in some clean low-end with my LS2.

I'm on my second (my guitarist couldnt live without one, so i sold my first to him), is a different beast to a traditional octave pedal, the tones are quite thin as opposed to the Boss's fat sub, but if you ever had GAS for a 12-string bass, this will cure it. It tracks perfectly to my ears, I play exclusively dropped D tuning with my band. Sometimes the sub-octave sounds a little indistinct, but it will track it, and being polyphonic, it'll take whatever chords you throw at it too. Add some modulation after it (eg: chorus, phaser) and you get incredible organ-like tones from it. next practice im gonna plug my old MicroPOG into my new one and see what happens a few notes tho (based on my experiences): the pedal does sound very digital, especially the octave up, but used tastefully it sounds great, the digitalness is less noticable on guitar. If you want a PHAT sub octave - get a traditional octaver. the MicroPOG isnt dynamic to your playing (although no octavers are) and often sounds highly compressed and digital - hence why it should be used tastefully It will react to your tone control though. I prefer running things AFTER it rather than into it. i'll do some clips for you so you can see what i mean.

Yeah i remember this pedal has been mentioned on TalkBass a few times. By all accounts, its not a bass pedal, which is a real shame. I got the chance to play through my mate's dad's 70's Bassman Ten last night, and it sounds beautiful. Boss should have taken into account that in alot of places the Bassman pedal has been marketed as a bass pedal.

another +1 for the 105q here, i always run distortion into it tho, or my Bass Micro Synth, for super heavy filter sweeps

Well i've never had a problem with EHX pedals, and the newer built ones seem all tho be very well built, however if you were to pick up an older one (like the older, larger q-tron's ect) you may have problems, EHX are famous for having quality control issues in the past, but i think they've stepped up their game now. As for MXR, well they can be funny, I own a MXR blue Box, a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Classic Fuzz and an MXR Blowtorch, and both the Blue Box and the Classic Fuzz are too quiet even at max volume (I even did the C11 mod on the Blue box and i havent really noticed a difference). The first blowtorch I owned was bought second hand and had some issues, so i returned it, the current one (also second hand) have never given me any trouble. My First Blue Box was also bought second hand and was just F****D so i had to return it and bought one new. The Black Finger may be quite solid (ive owned two Muff'n's in the past), but the power supply doesnt seem so, so even if the pedal lasts, you may find yourself searching for a new power supply if you're not careful. Sometimes i felt with my Muff'n that if i stomped too hard, i might stomp right through the pedal. The worst for reliability in my eyes are Ibanez's ToneLok series - the footswitches are terrible, i've owned 3 of their pedals and experienced the same each time, sometimes they switch, sometimes they dont. Boss are extremely reliable, however i have a broken Syb-3, which is the first broken Boss pedal ive ever seen/used/owned.
