Sold a pedal to Jim, an easy sale and a pleasure to do business with. Trusted basschat member.

Sparks and fire huh? Well that certainly isn't ideal bloody hell. Thanks for the recommendation there. I've added it to my watch list to keep tabs on. I'll certainly consider those

I dunno, I crank it up loud quite often haha. Not dismissive at all. I welcome your input. I already have the preamp in my B7KU and it sounds fantastic through the FX return. I much prefer it already. Thomann have a power amp that's quite well reviewed for £150. I'm tempted to try one, then if I like it i'll sell my LMIII and buy some other bass goodies that i've had my eye on with the change. I would like to upgrade my BK7U to the v2 version.

Well that's certainly true! I'll think on it, though i'm not likely to look to join a band anytime soon. Thanks for the help

Just tried bypassing the preamp via the FX return as suggested and it sounds amazing. It makes quite the difference! Now I'm considering selling my LMIII and getting a power amp instead haha.

That's really helpful. Thanks very much! Just as you say, I have my setup as bass > pedals (8 of them) > amp. And while it sounds good that way, I couldn't help but wonder how it would sound via a power amp once I found out about that they're a thing. Cheers!

Ohh right! 😅 I'll give that a shot in a bit. I had wondered what the FX return was for. It's Not something i've ever needed to know about thus far haha.

Thanks for the input. But a lot of what you said there is lost on me as I'm not, nor ever have been, a gigging bassist. I'm more a sort of hobbyist who only plays at home (for the time being).

So I have a LMIII which I bought specifically for its clean/unbiased sound to use along with my DG BK7U (among others). Would a power amp provide a cleaner tone for my BK7U & other FX than the LMIII?

So I didn't know Power Amps were even a thing until recently (I just play at home for my own enjoyment). Why would you choose a Power Amp over a standard bass head?

I figured it would be something like that. That reverse function honestly sounds like a lot of fun. Definitely something to consider when I make my purchase. As it goes i've decided a loop pedal would be more useful to me at the moment, so I think i'm going to get a ditto+ instead.

How does the reverse thing work? What does it do exactly? Thanks!

Hi So what would be the benefit of your dual reverse looper over say, a larger 6 switch looper? I would absolutely love one of those but I can't quite afford one at the moment and i'm unable to save further right now because of reasons. I'd be buying the loop switcher with some christmas money I was gifted

So my pedalboard is getting a bit fuller these days and growing (Darkglass B7KU, Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor, Marshall Echohead Delay, Valeton OC10 Octaver, Boss CE-5 Chorus, DOD FX25, Korg Pitchblack). I'm having fun combining fx but its getting somewhat tedious tap dancing all over my board for the desired sounds that i'm using more regularly. Is a loop switcher what I need in order to use two (or more?) fx at the same time with one press of a switch? Can anyone recommend one up to £120? I came across these on my searches thus far but i'm not 100% sure i'm looking at the right thing- https://www.brightonion.co.uk/bigger/ https://www.thomann.de/gb/mooer_pedal_controller_loop_6.htm Many thanks!

So I recently bought a 2019 sterling ray 5 with the roasted maple neck. I happen to have a tone capsule sitting doing nothing which was bought for a project build that had to be abandoned. I was going to sell the DGTC but now i'm wondering if I should have it installed in the ray 5. I already have a B7K Ultra on my pedalboard, so of course i'm thinking the two would work well together. I play in a post-hardcore band so that DG tone works well there. Being honest, I don't know a whole lot about onboard preamps and what have you. Would it be a worthy upgrade? What sort of tone could I expect? Cheers.

I will never ever use eurosender again. I used them this time over my preferred courier because I thought it would support basschat in some small way. I'm not going into details because it will make me angry and I want to forget about it, but I have never dealt with such an inept, money-grabbing, useless and disregarding company as this in my life. My advice is to stick with a courier you know.
