Thanks Dave, good to know jay

He mentioned <easter holiday too..

I emailed him about a week ago, and I sent a follow up today. he explained that he is very sick Covid complications and asked I bear with him. I sent him best wishes and hope he gets through it ok. So patience and some positive thoughts his way is all there is to do..

Any experience with HB cabs? verses some of the favoured BF and TKS and others? And also, thanks, appreciate the thread and all of the input.

I too have an email enquiry that is dragging its feet a bit. i@m not a Facebook user, so only email or telephone for me.. I am trying to get the ball rolling on a R400 order..

After 2 days of reading, I´m now fully up to speed with the thread... phew..

Play tone off.. it narrows the signal spread giving the octave pedal a better chance of tracking. An Ian Allison tip..

Hope you resolve it.. Good luck

Hei man, after your disappointment with the Ripley fall, are you certain you don't have some other issue causing the drop in volume? I just mention it as my phase 90, if anything adds a little bump to my level.. or perceived at least

I did some playing around with mine. At home I practice with a Dave Hall hall pre amp going into my effects return on my practice amp. Til now i have had the Ripply fall before the DHA pre amp. All good, sounds big and warm. I tried the RF alone straight into the amp input.. all good, big and warm. I put the RF after the pre amp.. major drop in level with each of the RF effects having an individual gain reduction..? I have to say i'm baffled by this as i don't see why the pre amp before the RF should have this effect... Any how, I tried the RF at both my band practice sessions on my boards (before the amps pre amp) with no issues, all good bid and warm etc. This doesn't help you i guess, but if you get into any dialogue, you are armed with a little more info at least. Hope you get it resolved..

oi.. thats not good.. have to say mine is great, if anything it warms up the tone a little, and i get no gain jump issues.. Sorry to hear that.. must be frustrating

Nice... Hope it's what you're looking for. Would like to hear your opinion when you've had time to play around with it..

This looks like a cracking bit of kit..

Yeah @danny-79, Green Guitar, Black Bass.. On my main boards (where i got my MXR chorus and phaser) i have them after the drive pedals based on the principle that modulation pedals are placed at the end of the chain. No hard rule here i guess, but i did all the necessary trials in different positions, and i like em best at the end. And because i bought a pedal looper (12 channel switcher from Buzz electronics) i feed the modulation effects into the effects loop (i.e after the pre amp). For what its worth, this didn't make a huge amount of difference, but i did get the feeling the modulations effects seemed to get more air to breath.. (crap explanation i know). Anyway, placement is down to taste, but I think after sounds better. I tried the ripply fall on my small board (different band) also after the drive pedals. In this band i use drive pedals for tone fattening more that heavy drive, but boy the ripply fall sounded sweet. I'll say it one more time, the phaser is subtle (at least at low speeds), more subtle that the MXR phase 90, but it adds that perfect amount of sweetness, and it sits so nice when the chorus part of the pedal is engaged. Anyway, good luck with your search... keep us posted

I just picked up one of these.. Not sure if (or what) fits 80's post punk goth, but it has a lovely lush chorus and is paired with a sublime (IMO) phaser (two JAM pedals in one). I only picked it up a week ago, but it aint been off since, both home practice and at rehearsal. I also have an MXR and a phase 90. I love this more.. FWIW i use chorus and phaser on low speeds, there is also a vibrato built in to this, so much of this review is wobbly higher speeds.. anyway, this is my 'this weeks' recommendation
