[quote name='Muppet' post='29687' date='Jul 10 2007, 12:17 PM']Steve - you'd only end up flogging it to me after you get bored. This way we cut out the middleman [/quote]

Ah it's ok in that case then

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='29352' date='Jul 9 2007, 09:05 PM']That's a great piece of music! Reminds me of the instrumental tracks on Bowie's 'Low' album.[/quote]

Thank you, no idea what I played I know what I did effects wise and how I got those sounds but the notes were random noodling .

I'm going to do a good noise recording sess soon with my drummer and maybe a guitarist friend.

Cheers

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='29686' date='Jul 10 2007, 12:17 PM']Hello Steve,

Being and old tw*t, I realise old school = vintage but I don't know what that means in terms of compression. I understand 'old school' when it comes to tone but I don't understand the concept of old school compression.

I think it'll be at least 3 weeks before I stop kicking myself for selling the Multicomp.[/quote]

Same sort of thing the concept of it is the same as a lot of older amps like the SVT's etc people want to sound like they did back in the 60's and 70's so a EBS MUlticomp won't achieve this as it is much more hifi. A Ross clone or Orange Squeeze clone will. Generally tonewise old school compression is hard to explain, generally its more of an effect than just limiting like Tony Levin uses an Orange Squeeze clone to get those very percussive tones he gets with Peter Gabriel it also got that vintage mojo/vibe to it bit of treble roll off smooth I don't know how to describe it really but my Jazz with Flats if I crank my OS Clone it can cop those motown soundsd whereas I could never do that with the Demeter, Rane, EBS etc etc.

Yeah everyone wants the pedals I'd buy ya GITS

Old School = Vintage

I believe the Mr Squishy is based on the old Orange Squeeze Compressor which can give soem quite punchy and percussive sounds but isn't all that hi-fi.

I have a bass modded Tone Factor Pulp Mill that is a cross between a more hi-fi comp and the old orange squeeze and you can blend between the 2.

I replaced my Multicomp with a rackmount Rane DC24 which is way way better but its a totally different item really especially if you're after a pedal.

I'd be quite confident I could do a gig with my Pulp Mill.

Let me know if you wanna borrow it to give it a test drive as these also work out cheaper than the Multicomp and personally I feel I get better highs from it.

Why don't you just get a room

Yeah they have made less than 50 of the Cream Pies they won't be making them under the Tone Factor Name they will now Be Mojo Hand and again not available direct from Tone Factor, so they will be easily over £100 brand new and you won't be able to get one for at least a month I'd expect.

This is the best overdrive I've ever had I prefer it to the Barber LTD (Black), Xotic BB Bass Preamp, Sansamp Bass Driver, Dod 250 the list goes on and on. This is so good I've had 4 of these still own 2 as due to componants even under the Mojo Hand name they will be limited, there isn't another pedal out on the market that sounds like this.

Also that Barber LTD SR is the best of the LTD series so far I'd lvoe to try one hmmmmm

[quote name='BassBalls' post='27823' date='Jul 6 2007, 11:05 AM']+1 on Aria FL-10.

Aint seen one on ebay for a while but they are great flangers.

A flanger sounds up your street for the space rock because its a more 3D sounding effect than a phaser.

Toasted, in your opinion whats better, MXR phase 100 or 90? Have you tried the EVH one?

Cheers[/quote]

I've got 2 FL-10's and an FL-5 which is the same as a FL-10 only with out the 2 stage footswitch and second rate control.

I love those flangers.

You should also check out the Subdecay Quasar and the Tone Factor Nebula

Here are some clips of the various pedals

[quote name='BassManKev' post='27641' date='Jul 5 2007, 10:08 PM']zoom 506, love it

imo ALL bassists need a zoom multi effects of some sort on their board

506II for me[/quote]

Don't take this the wrong way but are you on crack?

All music shops in Manchester carry them

I've had a DD-20 after 17 pedals and it's been fine. It is still the bog standard Boss bypass though.

Very very very few true bypass delays out there, none that have trails.

I've never had an issues with the bypass on the DD-20 but then I wasn't running any other Boss or Behringer pedals and the king of all tone suckers that is known as the whammy.

[quote name='Toasted' post='27381' date='Jul 5 2007, 12:20 PM']He can't afford either of those, and I dont think the mad prof is what he wants.[/quote]

Then he can't really mention quality then can he

Mad Proffessor Deep Blue Delay

Diamond Memory Lane

If you want quality

Not that the DD-20 is worse, just digital

The AM Chorus use to belong to me so to help out it is the mini version with the hardwired deep setting so it is optimised for bass it's the best chorus I've used and since selling it I haven't used chorus.

DD-20 beats everything you've mentioned so far.

I'm personally partial to the Digitech PDS Series but good look finding one of those and for the money the DD-20 is a much better unit, the Digitech's just have more mojo

He's broke so forget about that

Sorry

Interested in the DD-20 will have to check with my guitarist and will let you know.

You in Manchester still?

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='26884' date='Jul 4 2007, 10:45 AM']the large beaver sounds about the best to my ears - take it it would be suitable for guitar as well as bass and active as well as passive bass?
does the clip of the BYOC give a fair indication of the range of tones available? Don't suppose you've got any guitar playing clips? [/quote]

Active bass on that and it shows alot of the tones available especially when I play with the tone knob on the pedal.

If you search Youtube you can find quite a few Large Beaver vids where it's being used on guitar.

I have a Fuzz Saw or BYOC Large Beaver for sale at the moment if you like the sounds

Have a listen and see what you like

I have more dirt clips I'm uploading this week but these are the biggies

[quote name='Loooper']Please note- Loooper cannot guarantee the results of using various pedals with the Blend Pot Option or the Parallel Option. In some instances, pedals do not function well when used in these configurations.[/quote]

What can happen is volume drops, impedance issues with fuzz's (again), your clean tone might come through fine but the effects side can be really quiet.

Passive blenders are quite unpredictable they can work with one pedal and not another or in one rig setup and not another. If it was that easy why would people even bother with the Barge and Xotic units which cost hundreds compared to the $15 the blend on a loooper use to cost.

Usual impedance issues thats why people always recommended the LS-2 because it was active. I can't comment on the DHA blender but I know the Loooper's had some issues with certain pedals they even use to mention it on their site that it might not work in your setup due to various reasons.

[quote name='ChocolateTelevision' post='26760' date='Jul 3 2007, 10:36 PM']Alex - who makes that blend looper in the bottom left of your board? Was it any good?[/quote]

That would be a Loooper no longer made due to the owner getting ill.

It's a passive blend so it can cause issues with certain pedals.

The Dirtbox and the Catalinbread Teaser Stallion gives it away since I'm the only one to have them
