Looks like you're a bass player after my own heart.

Lots if lovely looking pedals. 

How do you get on with the Boost Chorus?

I think the Tech21 is the best chorus I have tried. It’s got a lot of different options as well. I don’t think they are made anymore. There’s also a Blue version but I don’t know if it’s the same tones

This isn’t quite correct or settled but getting there. I do need to fit a Sadowsky Pre/DI on the end as well

not sure if I like the new Diamond more than the old one

It's on my list!

The VCA compressor part is excellent. Drive is too fizzy/fuzzy for me 

Envelope Filter has a couple of majestic settings just takes a while to dial in and is fussy regarding different basses. 
 

Still a very good purchase

Absolutely brilliant pedals. Unlike anything else I've tried.

I’ve got the Kinematic Dreadbox. It’s quite cool. 

Diamond BCP/EQ arrived yesterday 

Have only run it at 9v with flatwound strung basses but first impressions are good. 
 

The power requirements and smaller size are definitely upgrades on the old BCP-1. Does it sound better?

Not sure yet

Got an OC-2 last week. Quirky pedal but cool at a couple of things

Hopefully gave the big board all hooked up at the end of next week 

Incoming pedals are

SGFX Supa Funk Filter

Boss OC-2

Diamond BCP/EQ 

please hurry up NZ Customs

I really like this pedal. If you get a chance to try one then give it a go

With an Optical Compressor in front or a VCA Compressor behind it can cover a lot of ground on different types of Basses

I don’t believe it is “dark” but I definitely want low gain not fuzzy or fuzzy 

I’m in Aotearoa so trade postage might be a thing. 

I’ve got the Beta Germanium the Beta V is considerably better for me

Flats or Rounds

Active or Passive 

Fingers, Thumb Plectrum 

all useable. 
 

probably my favourite Is flats , precision with light drive

It has arrived and first impressions are very positive 

cool unit

I suspect I will be buying the new Diamond Compressor 

The BCP-1 is a superb pedal

Today will be a lot of The Smiths

Yesterday I listened to “Hey Jude” by Wilson Pickett. Jerry Jemmott really is a funky smooth player

The pedal was similar to Boss OC-2. I really liked it however it was uncontrollable with how it picked up extraneous noise and was returned. The supplier refunded me as they said it was irreparable and their other ones did the same thing. A pity as when it worked it was cool. 
 

It was Close enough at medium to low settings to the onboard sub on the old Klystrom heads. Nice feature when used subtly on a fantastic amplifier 

The Dreadbox Kinematic is a cool pedal

I would definitely like to try this pedal out. 

I had one for 15 or so years, sold it last month

22 fret

scratch plate is different shape

Alder body, heavy, but least neck dive of any Fender I’ve played 

Most gad the TBC circuit 

Fender have certainly made considerably worse instruments 

Got a Laney Comp on the way

anyone here had a whirl?

Sometimes a Diamond Compression 

Sometimes a Free The Tone Bass Blaster Overdrive 

Has anyone seen or heard from Rob? 

A touch of compression with the Solidgoldfx Beta really works with the old Klystron 

I love Compression 

now does anyone know if the Laney Black Country Compressor is a VCA, Optical or FET? 

Ashdown CTM-300 setting for Fretless Stingray plus a VCA type compressor 

Have a listen to The Price of Love then Pump It Up
