    Thanks for the info! Much appreciated

    Thanks very much for the info! I'd love a Noble but it's out of my price range currently, might save up and give Shiftline an email! 👍

    Very surprised nobody (as far as I saw) mentioned the Shift Line Olympic MKIII. That seems to be the go-to alternative for Nobles on a lot of other forums.

    I'm just after a patchbay with high quality buffers on the input and output. I've done quite a bit of research on buffers and the optimal specs lately and these are the numbers that come up time and time again, and are featured on most good standalone buffers - JHS, Mesa Boogie, TC etc. 1meg input is optimal for guitar, anything up to 5meg can suit bass (as bass amps are less standardised on their inputs). The Peterson Strobostomp Tuner is about 2meg on input if I'm not mistaken, for example. The point of of an output buffer is to drive long lines effectively and stably. The lower the impedance of an output buffer, the better it will do the intended job. Mason from Vertex suggests 80ohms-150ohm for an ideal output impedance. While commenting on the Goodwood Interfacer's 500ohm output, he said: "It's a bit high for my liking. 100 ohms is ideal, this is about 5x higher than recommended and won't be as stable on the output with greater capacitive loads."

    Haha no worries! It's a reasonable suggestion anyway that would do the job. I currently have a little Bright Onion passive patchbay which I use to go to and from my switcher. Replacing it with a buffered patchbay would just be the most logical step

    I'm looking for a patchbay/pedalboard interface that has both an input buffer and an output buffer. (1Meg input, 100ohms output - ideal specs for buffers) I have found a couple of great options from Vertex and Goodwood, but they're on the other side of the world and/or very pricey. I would contact Bright Onion but they are not currently taking any custom orders, so they're out of the equation for now. Goodwood used to do the Bass Interfacer, and now do the larger Custom Junction box (which is double the price at $500...) Vertex make custom buffered interfaces but again they're based in the US. They also have videos/instructions on how to make your own, but I'm not sure I have the expertise needed to assemble it to a high quality. Something like this would be ideal if it based closer to UK, or even something simpler which is simply a mono dual-buffered mono patchbay (doesn't necessarily need an FX loop like the Goodwood options above). There are similar options like the Empress Buffer +, but the buffer specs are not great on the output (510ohms if I remember correctly) Anyone have any suggestions for UK/European based alternatives? It seems all the companies paying attention to this kind of thing are US/Aus/NZ based Thanks!

    Pete bought my Darkglass Vintage deluxe. Great communication, quick payment, item was posted to him within a few hours of him first messaging me. Top notch buyer! Cheers Thor (Pete) Ainsley

    Just seen someone sold an Endangered Audio Research AD4096 for under 200 on here a few weeks back. My head hurts.

      @Bunion Looks like I'm back to checking 'Effects for Sale' morning and night haha

      Welcome to my world 😂🤣

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've used one of their passive patchbays before and it was decent. I don't see any specs for their buffers, but I'll give him a message and see what he says, cheers

    I'm looking to get a dual buffered junction box/patchbay (buffer on input and output). Something like the Goodwood Interfacer or the one Vertex Effects make would be perfect, but availability in the UK isn't great. Other alternatives could be something like the Mesa Boogie High-Wire Dual Buffer/Boost pedal, but that's steering away from what I want ideally, though it can serve the role of a dual buffer ofc. Good buffer specs: 1M input impedence 100 ohms output impedence Any suggestions? Thanks!

    PRICE DROP 😁
  12. AinsleyWalker
    Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the MC3 as well

    Hey! I've taken a look through this post and found some answers to my question but they were from a while ago and it's a loong thread so.. Any recommendations for MIDI footswitch controllers to use with the FI? I'm just looking for something to control patch up & down. Would something like this do the job?: https://www.disasterareadesigns.com/shop/p/dmc-micro-pro Thanks!

    Really? I've been using the Vintage Deluxe for years now and I find it's great for general thump/tone sculpting/light tubey breakup.
  15. AinsleyWalker
    Most definitely. Any of their pedals are versatile, it's all about how you use it like anything. I've been using the Vintage range of pedals for years and I never play anything heavy, I rarely play rock at all anymore tbh.
  16. AinsleyWalker
    SOLD Amazing pedal, great as a preamp, as a drive or as a DI for recording/live use. Only selling to fund some other purchases. In great condition and fully working. Super strong brand Velcro on the bottom. No original box. Collection/meetup in/around London or £5 for UK postage

    Shout outs to Facebook sellers listing massive job-lots with prices for individual items, who then go and turn down serious buyers looking to buy an individual item in the hope that someone will take the lot instead... So naive.

    BUMP! Really need this gone soon, listening to offers
  19. AinsleyWalker
    BUMP! Considering offers/trades

    SOLD ELSEWHERE
  21. AinsleyWalker
    (SOLD) Bought from Bass Direct in early 2020. Currently in the same condition I received it in. Best 5 string I've played at this price point, big punchy sound with a very versatile EQ. Small mark on headstock and small ding in the back shown in pictures. Active three band EQ, Humbucker pickup and two single coil modes selectable with the 3-way switch. Jack socket professionally replaced. Pickup from Clapham Junction preferred but can meet within a reasonable distance. Does not come with a case.

    PRICE DROP now £165

    Thanks for the tips. It's working for now, with a new fuse in. But I will aim to replace it when I'm able to. Not good at all...
  24. AinsleyWalker
    @Stub Mandrel Problem solved, just needed a new fuse as expected. I put a 3A fuse in the UK plug adapter and all is working as expected. But to answer your questions, The EU AC adapter was plugged into the UK plug adapter, I then plugged that into an extension cable which caused the sparks and all my electrics to go off. My brick was not connected to the AC adapter when this happened (which was just an oversight, I would normally connect that first). And yes I agree the Thomann adapters are great, I ordered an Eden combo from them a while ago which came with the type of adapter that you're describing.
  25. AinsleyWalker
    I've just checked my emails and it turns out I ordered this from Gear4Music, so I have no idea why it doesn't have a UK plug...
