  1. [quote name='dannybuoy' post='422565' date='Mar 1 2009, 07:15 PM']I've had a DHA VT2 and currently own a VT Bass. I use the VT to get an Ampeg sound out of a clean amp / PA, with just a hint of drive. I'm not a fan of using it as a distortion pedal really, it sounds far too compressed with the gain pushed. Another good thing about the VT is it makes the Mammoth sound amazing, it really brings out the low end and tames the fizzy highs. The DHA is VERY nice at low gain grit and has a certain 'sheen' to it that sounds yummy with a fresh set of strings. However I would steer you towards the Barber LTD Silver for sale in the classifieds right now - if I weren't about to build myself one I would have bought it already! One of the best bass ODs going.[/quote]

    Also my thinking on eq sections on dirt pedals (its pretty much stating the pbvious though :)) is manufacturers put them there so you can fine tune your sound/ create a different sound with the pedal engaged and to counter any low frequency loss that may or may [u]not[/u] occur with the effect engaged, if you want the same sound as whats going in you dont have to tweak the EQ section :rolleyes:

    If your not wanting to have any tone controls the the catalinbread hyperpak gets my vote for distortion, as to my ears it sounds wicked on bass and doesnt loose any lows, for OD I'd say a DHA Purist is a good bet from personal experience.

  2. ha I knew it lol, I'm mates with Bob and his band ( I used to be in a band with the guitarist) I drove past with the missus on sunday would've popped in but she wasn't well, small world eh :)

    Braw wee rig you've got there as well :rolleyes:

  3. the Aguilar Tonehammer is pretty good as a dirt box due to its 3band eq + sweepable mids. its one to considder but then again so is a modded digitech bad monkey, an owen gremlin. best to cast your net wider if its just a dirt box your after

  4. I only use 4 pedals at the mo including a tuner so it would have to be them

    Boss TU2 - Aguilar Tone hammer (used as an overdrive) - modded EH USA big muff (for heavier fuzzier parts in songs) - cheap digital delay for more ambient parts

    I'm a heavy pick player as well so no doubt a compressor would be the other one I'd add into the list

  5. Hey folks, with the imminent arrival of a new amp the time has come for me to clear out my old set-up.

    my dha vt5 preamp/overdrive unit [font="Comic Sans MS"][size=5][color="#FF0000"]NOW SOLD[/color][/size][/font]

    full spec here:

    there is also a review in the reviews section IIRC

    Now, I've had this for a while now and its had a few gremlins which had been sorted out although there are still a few which have resurfaced. the boost pot on the red channel sometimes doesnt work but after a few taps/twists of the knob its fine, the eq switch on the red channel causes the sound to drop out drastically when switched on (it could be a dodgy/weak solder). The blue channel has a similar gremlin with the boost pot although the eq section works fine it sometimes mildly distorts until you tap/wiggle the treble pot again this could be as simple a weak/dry solder.

    All the issues aside its still a cracking sounding pre and is versatile as it lets you have two instruments plugged in and each channel set up for each instrument.

    I'm looking for £100 inc £15 postage for this with the footswitch as to be honest I don't know how much it would cost to repair fully but considering it was £600+ new I dont think its a bad price even with a repair bill on top of it ;)

    [s]i also have a Peavey PV1500 power amp for sale which is in good nick with some rack rash on the rack ears but is generaly in good condition and like all peavey stuff is built to last specs are IIRC -

    - 300w @ 8ohms per channel
    - 500w @ 4ohms per channel
    - 750w @ 2ohms per channel
    - 500w @ 8ohms bridged mono
    - 1000w @ 4 ohms bridged mono

    I'd be looking at [color="#FF0000"]£150 posted[/color] for this, its a bit heavy at about 18.5 kg (isn't all peavey stuff though)


    both Items will be well packed I also have a 4u rack that I can include with either the pre or power amp for an extra £20

  6. [quote name='mrcrow' post='413600' date='Feb 18 2009, 08:37 PM']SR5 any good to you?

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305"]shot in the dark[/url][/quote]


    I'd love your SR5 but I dont have the cash to give the other way to make up the value sigh ;)


    Cheers for the kind words about the bass BB it realy is a good un I just need a new amp :P

    Bottomfeed you know you want it to match your 5 er :)

  7. Hey folks, times have hit hard and I'm in need of a new amp, so with no ££ to play with I have to sell to buy so my G&L L2k tribute is reluctantly up for sale ;)

    Swamp ash body natural gloss finish, with maple neck and maple fretboard. Its in good condition with a few small marks on thr front at the upper horn, the pickup polepieces have tarnished a wee bit and there is a wee bity on the bridge as well, also comes with a set of schaller strap locks.

    Cash wise I'm after £350 posted for it, this includes a fairly basic gigbag but it'll be very well wrapped for transit.
    Trade wise well as said earlier I need a new amp head so I'd be interested in something around 300w @8ohms ala GK, Ashdown EVO's, ampeg ( I wish) etc with money goin the other way for the right amp. I'd also look at valve preamps with money my way possibly, hit me with any offer I can only say no :P The Ibanez in some of the pics is NOT FOR SALE!!!









    if anyone wants more specific pics feel free to ask and I'll do my best to get them up quickly for you.
