I highly recommend hunting round ebay for an Aria FL-10 or FL-5 personally I think it's one of the best flangers on the market. Cheers

[quote name='oddjob' post='13709' date='Jun 7 2007, 05:35 PM']£199s the cheapest i've found so far tho a shop on ebay is selling for £210 BIN, with a best offer option so might get it cheaper. i think what i wrote was a bit confusing, what i meant was most wireless packs with selectable frequencies will only have a selectable range of 30MHZ in 25kHz jumps so from 660 - 690MHz in 25kHz jumps giving 1200 selectable frequencies. So i would assume it would be the same with the akg system, usualy the frequency range is writen on the back of the body pack.[/quote] 835.000 - 861.900 Hope this helps

[quote name='oddjob' post='13703' date='Jun 7 2007, 05:10 PM']The AKG WMS 400 looks amazing for the price. tayste; does the system allow you to choose any frequency between the 660 - 863 MHz or is it only in one of the blocks of 30MHz, i'm looking to get a wireless for playing at church and we have specific frequencies licenced for use in the building we meet in. So if the unit only comes in a 30MHz block would i have to conact the supplier with the particular frequency block i want? Also, does anyone know the difference between the WMS400 and WMS450 i can't find any difference appart from an extra 2MHz frequency band from 863 to 865 MHz and a price increase of £130.[/quote] Hehehe Don't laugh but I've never changed the frequency on it so I wouldn't know, I wouldn't have thought it would have gone up in such high jumps of 30mhz though. Just checking though are any of you guys finding the AKG 400 for less than 199? FYI people looking for a cheap good wireless ElliotMinor is selling on the AKG bugs in the For Sale Section they are great units as long as you don't throw your bass around your head

[quote name='lukeward2004' post='13606' date='Jun 7 2007, 02:32 PM']OK, having pondered this a lot over the last few weeks, ive decided to sell the Sennheiser Freeport system and replace it with an AKG WMS400 - which seems to be the dogs danglies.[/quote] You know it's good cos I have one

[quote name='lukeward2004' post='13460' date='Jun 7 2007, 09:24 AM']....and when tastye 2000 plays, the audience are pinned to the wall and battered with low frequencies until they bleed from thier ears![/quote] You have no idea especially when my 5 string is tuned ADGCF

Warning EA DOOMAGE Enjoy I certainly am

[quote name='alexclaber' post='13131' date='Jun 6 2007, 04:46 PM']Regarding the three points: 1. Does it actually regulate the voltage or does it just tell you if the voltage is not optimal? If it does regulate the voltage how much current can it deliver? 2. A simple surge protected power strip can do this at far less cost and weight. 3. Any half-decent rack gear should not need A/C filtering. Alex[/quote] I agree with all these points but it was the only way I could justify more lights in my rack

[quote name='BigBassBob' post='13041' date='Jun 6 2007, 02:20 PM']Ste, the guitarist in my band has been using the Planet Waves tuner for a while with an adaptor, but last rehearsal, he used it with a battery and everytime he left it in his signal chain, there was this loud high pitched screeching. I don't know if that's the same as the noise you mentioned, but is there anyway to get rid of it? (appart from the obvious idea of not leaving it in the chain, or using a looper to mute it)[/quote] Best solution I found to get rid of the high pitched squeal was to sell it

[quote name='Hamster' post='13021' date='Jun 6 2007, 01:42 PM']Thanks for all comments - I'm going to look out for a DT-10 as it has the most thumbs up. Hamster[/quote] Get the DT-10BK cos it has cool blue led's

[quote name='bassbluestew' post='9215' date='May 30 2007, 02:13 PM']Both Easyjet and Ryanair have so far failed to destroy it, and when they do, SKB will replace it free of charge !![/quote] That is really saying something

Option 3 seems like the best option. Option 2 means you have to turn 2 pedals on to get your fuzz sound. But I still want Option 1

Ok, so I have schematic being drawn up and I have a manufacturer for it so I just want to do some market research. So here are the options for the pedal/s The smallest box available [url="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/511937211_66b19c596d.jpg"]here[/url] in this size with no led or footswitch, won't take a battery will have input, output, power in and a knob to control the impedance, it will be this small and won't have a switch or an led as it will always be on and be the sort of thing that takes up little or no board space or fits under a pedaltrain type board. Same box as above with an led and a footswitch so you can turn the impedance buffer off and make your fuzz sound gated and crap again again. Single TB type loop in the standard MXR sized Hammond enclosure with led, to show when the loop is activated, footswitch to turn the loop on and therefore the buffer and you just have your fuzz inside the buffered loop. this case would be able to take a battery. Personally I lean towards the first one, buffers don't really affect other effects so why not leave it on. But yeah so I want to know who would be interested in buying one and what model they would want. Else it will be another custom jobby for me and exactly what I want and no one else will be able to get one so please speak up if you are interested. Cheers

I will have a schematic soon for a Variable Impedance Buffer. Just need to find someone to build it.

[quote name='Waldo' post='12570' date='Jun 5 2007, 03:58 PM']Yeah that's what I meant, I know you have that fancy Barge Concepts thingy [/quote] Every one should just get one, you're probably gonna get a blender anyway. Doubles all your effects up.

[quote name='Waldo' post='12491' date='Jun 5 2007, 01:55 PM']Well it would seem that there currently isn't a way to do what you're asking, short of making your bass passive which is a very silly idea if you ask me.[/quote] I have an impedance buffer You can get them, they are custom jobbies and they are expensive, but you can do exactly what he's saying but that's only because I told him about them. There just isn't any one that makes an impedance buffer as a standalone box........ yet but I'm working on that.

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='12542' date='Jun 5 2007, 03:09 PM']Why do you tune differently live and in the studio?[/quote] Because the producer makes the singer sing everything as high as humanly possibly which live just isn't realistic night after night. Also makes it sound heavier live.

I've owned: Korg DT-10 Peterson Strobe O Stomp Boss TU-2 Boss TU-12 Planet Waves Pedal Tuner Korg DTR2000 (Rackmount) And various multi effects. I have been able to directly compare the Planet Waves, Boss, Korg and Strobe O Stomp. Firstly the worst of the bunch is the Planet Waves, whatever the specs say it is not as accurate as the Boss or Korg and the buffer in it causes some weird squeal when placed in an effects chain while muting and tuning. Next the boss, the industry standard, great pedal, easy to see, does it's job and built like a tank. It's a good pedal and if I was in a band that only used Boss tuners I would pick one up. The Korg DT-10 is a great tuner and more accurate than the Boss and the Planet waves, again built like a brick and looks fantastic in the new blue and black setup. I tuned with this and then the strobe o stomp and the differences were very very minimal, whereas the planet waves was way out . The Strobe O Stomp, the best, the most accurate and the most expensive. To me I feel it's worth the money as I also like the idea of having a DI as a backup. This pedal I A/B'ed against the Rackmount DTR2000 and it is more accurate than it, which is good because it's much cheaper in that respect. So yeah those are rough summaries, if there is anything specific you want to know just ask. Cheers

Yeah the Tone Factor one is a very nice sounding tremelo, very vintage and organic. Currently due to not owning one I don't know how well it will work on bass as it's has a Jfet input buffer and the headroom isn't huge on it I'm told. I'm not saying it won't work but I'm also not saying it will

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='12459' date='Jun 5 2007, 01:24 PM']Agreed. I ended up using one of the small Velcro pads stuck on my bass near the jack socket. No problems any more. I also use a small rubber band around the transmitter to stop the battery cover coming off.[/quote] I covered it up with electricians tape but I can't see the light now. In terms of velcro on the bass I just didn't want to stick it to all my basses that I might use. But they do sound great

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='12450' date='Jun 5 2007, 01:16 PM']Ive been using a AKG GuitarBug for about a year now and it works great with my Lakland 55-01. Even low B sounds clear. There is a tone change from using a cable but its not noticeable at gigs and i have EQ to help if i need it. The lows are boosted a bit and also the top end but thats correctable with EQ. I can say that ive never had a drop out or interference with it in almost 50 gigs but i dont wander too far from the stage. I did notice recently when i had my ear close up to the tweeter in my cab that there is extra hiss but again, i have not heard it from a standing position. Also this was when i was trying out my GK head with the highs turned up a bit. The only downside i can see is that its only one channel and i have had to turn it off at two gigs otherwise it clashed with the DJ's mic. And all for £99[/quote] I to have 1 of these units and while the sound is excellent, if you are going to be running around stage like a nutter you might want to get something else, the amount of times the battery compartment has flown apart, or the bug it's self has decided to jump out of my guitar. They are good units for a very low cost price, but after a while the build quality really shows, especially when you put strain on the jack when you pull it out. I've had mine for near 2 years and it still functions perfectly well but it's in my backup bass off stage to make bass changes quicker and I don't do lots of crazy stuff with it. Cheers

Bumpski - Not Long Now

I can't believe people in Buxton are inbred, not with all them sheep around to distract them But yeah Buxton is very close to Manchester but the A6 is a horrible road to get into Manchester on The 192 inspires me to drive

DGCF or ADGCF depending if I'm using a 4 or 5 string. In the studio though it's EADG and BEADG 3 of my 4 strings have drop tuners so I can drop to D or C depending on if they are down a tone or in standard Cheers
