[quote name='ironkerton' timestamp='1390449336' post='2345577'] Hey gang, I'm trying to build my gear up after a long time in bass stasis and I'm about 5 years behind the times. I'm looking to build up a gritty pedalboard for electro synthy dirty bass sounds. I'm running a 4003 into a green sovtek big muff with a sansamp programmable BDDI. I'm eagerly awaiting a Markbass Super Synth which I'm clearly going to spend the next week playing with. I've also got a blue box and rat knocking around. What other pedals would you recommend? Some things I'm after: [s]A good sub - i'm keeping an eye out for a meatbox[/s] (I didn't need to retile the kitchen floor anyway) A crunchy helicopter-y delay - any thoughts? More fuzz Noisy toys Cheers! [/quote] Well as an owner of a 4003 and a green Sovtek russian I recomend the following: Dod Meatbox is awesome and about as thunderous sub as you can get but I recently ordered the Mantic Beef Bag which is an exact clone of the Meatbox only without 15 years of use on it, better bypass etc so I'm excited for that to turn up. Dod FX25 Filter Mojohand 443 Analogue Filter - This is a better option than the FX25, gets the same subby tone of the filter not opening but with better construction and bypass Get some flats on the Ric just makes it such a better bass and always run the above last. Other fuzz's I'd look at is the Malekko Diabolik unless you've tried the B:Assmaster and didn't like it, else a Superfuzz or clone if you can get one. Other than that everything else fun is just a muff clone Delays I love the Subdecay Echobox but really tempted with the Endangered Audio AD4096 but you have top get something with modulation and either analog or analog sounding, that said the old digitech pds delays are great fun. Never been a big fan of trem, most of my modulation I do with modulated delays. Hope this helps

Oh I hear very good things about the new fender 8x10 as long as you don't get the neo version

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1390499000' post='2346103'] Was Tayste's PX offer still a bit too rich? [/quote] We're really far apart from each other for a trade. My first 8x10 was an Ashdown ABM 8x10 but the old one with celestions not the blueline speakers, thing is everything great till you hear better, so it was great till I got the Matamp then it sounded really boxy and undefined. The Matamp is a clone of 80's Ampeg (maybe 70's) 8x10 but with proper decent wood instead of chipboard. The Ampegs come the closest to it and would be what I would rent if touring properly again but I'd be going for VR or Heritage series over the standard CL My other 8x10 experience was Hartke XL and it's good but still too hifi for what I consider an 8x10 to be and this is then your issue when looking at brands like Markbass etc they generally have too much high end. Obviously I'm bias'd to my Matamp and am quite glad I've found a band recently it suits but given my other requirements if I was buying again I'd look at the Berg NV610 else my Matamp 2x12 kicks out enough volume for me but its got the insanely powerful GT200 MK2 on top of it. Also as a word of advice with an 8x10 buy used, they are hard to sell and generally only a bit more than their 4x10 counterpart so if you're getting one you want to loose as little on it as possible and be committed to the fact you're going to use it for years, I think I've had mine for 5 and it is still the best bass tone I've ever had (think guitarist stood infront of 2 4x12's) you don't grow up wanting a stack of high efficiency 1x12's behind you More than just a cab it's a feeling

Bought 2 of these that will arrive this week Thinking PT Nano with Polytune, 2x iStomp and then something like a Mantic Beefbag or Dod FX10 for those fun bass boost moments I love so much.

Had one and it's a lovely sound but overkill unless you're in a touring act. I'd roll with the Radial JDI, it's better known in sound engineer circles and it's a just a clean passive DI box.
