I agree, about the Blower Box. Your description of the Darkglass core sound does make sense. I find the Pike pretty close from what I hear on YT. (but a vulcan needs very good ears )

Yes the blowerbox is very useful. I mostly use it to add grit /graininess with gain at 10-11 o'clock, but It can get much more distorted. BTW don't you like the vintage microtubes, Danny? -it seems quite intermediate beetween the ones you mention.

I like the Keeley a lot for it's clarity and ease of use, plus versatility as It can compress softly or brick-wall limit. I didn't experience these problems with the EBS but it was not transparent. The MXR I had wasn't working well and that seems to happen quite often.

Much easier to carry than your toilets, and sounds quite the same.

No, I don't get it. Is that Something like this: ? @cuzzie: about the Parvati, your description sounds nice but I did not find a bass demo on the web. edit ah yes I see it on their site, under another pedal's name.

I don't think I can "teach" anything in this matter It's just that I saw the world " muff" in the Parvati's description and according to my experience with the supercollider am not after a big muff, which I find too fuzzy, despite the mids control of the SC.

I have a DIY 1590 mosquite-style blender which is useful with the AGRO for example, but I'll prefer not having many units and patch cables. About the LS2 be careful about the fact it does not have a phase switch, and dirt units are sometimes polarity reversed .

Yes I don't feel like I'm finding how to bow bananas saying that PS I see the Parvati is a Muff-type: I had a supercollider in the past (two in fact, an earthbound and an acid age) and it's not really for me.

Thanks Al Krow. I will take a look at the Demon Parvati. By the way I'm not bothered with the loss of top end with the B3K (thanks to the blend ) but the HF -that cuts marvelously -has Something unnatural to my ears that is not a problem when used as a grinding distortion, but is when as a smootherOD ( In fact it is not smooth), and when I need something more fuzzy or thick (as can be the runoffgroove pushed which seems very similar to the Beta), to feed an AF for example, it is too cutting too. edit, I wanted to add, btw: the OD can make it across the Spectrum but have Something unpleasing to your ears in it's own voice.

Thanks, maybe I'll give it a try, or the Beta, I don't know, to put beside the b3k. Maybe the Hooker is more redundant? sounds like a good all-purpose OD which can go a little in the distorsion territory.

Does the one control Hooker eats some bass as I read somewhere?

Each time this topic is bumped my heart jumps and I connect to Paypal

That said it is probably a better bridge than the badass, although the badass looks less "alien" on a fender.

Hipshot " A" type.

Do you prefer something like that: ?

There is one for sale on french Forum Onlybass, with a repaired headstock, fretbuzz on G 17 and E 16 and the switch has to be fixed, but you can have it for approx a thousand euros less. https://onlybass.com/topic/96614-gibson-eb2-1967/

I guess you are right, but I still care.

So far I haven't found the solution. -I liked the EBS valvedrive very much, but cumbersome and boring to feed at 12v AC I tried the runoffgroove Ginger, very good mild OD but one trick pony . then Scientist Elements, lacked bass compared to the valvedrive IMO, otherwise very good and obviously very versatile. The mxr bass OD was a bit muddy for my taste and lacked personnality I went to an Agro, I sold for a B3K, I sold for an Agro, and bought a new B3k. The aggie is very good, versatile and pleasant before an EF but gets a bit lost in the mix IMO (a bit noisy too, and the heavy steel box bothers me. I wish it came with a blend and aluminium standard box). The B3k is very good at what it does, but not very transparent and by no means creamy (too harsh to use before an EF ) I also have an idiotbox blowerbox clone which is cool in a rat-esque way. Useful but gain past noon I don't like the sound all in all the B3k and Agro comes first, maybe the agro is better yet because it is very versatile, can be aggressive but has enough body to sound sweet and natural. Maybe I'll try the chase bliss next.

The body looks like a Carvin, the headstock like uninspired Gibson. Neither vitagish nor modern. Uinspired IMO.I liked the other much better.

But in fact, I'm afraid this is a discontinued model (except the fiver) according to the Gibson website. This topic gave me the false hope it was reissued . The latest model looks much uglier to me.

"No one falling on his head baby will ever be the same. " was the pitch.

Haha I realize I should have said "headstock", sorry.

&Good bridge, not bulky... Just lacks chrome PU's covers and cloverleaf tuners (maybe no guard too, IMHO) Maybe a..... flat head too
