Still no actual board, but this summer there WILL be, I'll make one if it kills me Crappy camera phone pic: The green stache and the cool-cat will be leaving (someone PLEASE buy them......) I was a little wary of letting the cool cat go, but the detune modes on the wh-4 I got to replace my dead xp-100 are perfect for my limited chorusing needs The rather functional looking grey box is a custom feedback looper made by Umph (Mammoth sound audio) I'm very happy with it, I'd definitley reccomend them

Shameless bumpage -
What goes bump in the night? This thread Right, some stuff has come up so I'm now definitley not looking to trade, sorry folks, I need cash more than phasers right now, it's exam time, which means heavy drinking when it's over
-
Interested in a cool cat for the phaser or the flanger? -
More brazen bumpage, I've just dropped a lot of money on a new whammy so not really looking for trades anymore, but still hit me up with offers for phasers/trems, I'd definitley go for a phase 90
-
Bought a drum machine off him, great to deal with, packed brilliantly, took me 5 minutes to get into the thing, I've never seen so much bubble wrap Great trasnaction, cheers
-
Shameless bumpage, I haven't put the cool-cat on eBay yet, and I probably won't, so it'll be here till it's gone Now I've finally declared my xp-100 beyond revival I'm also interested in trades for a whammy, XP-100 or wh-4

[quote name='pete.young' post='492788' date='May 19 2009, 09:35 PM']Maplins to the rescue - Yay! These are good for making up pedal board cables: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=usb&ModuleNo=1249&C=SO&U=Strat15"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=...O&U=Strat15[/url][/quote] That looks like just the thing, any idea what gauge lead it takes or will it take any? Also, is George L's cable just regular cable that I'd be able to strip down and solder into those or is it specially designed for the connectors, and if it isn't, any reccomendations on decent cabling I could get?

[quote name='alexharvay' post='492328' date='May 19 2009, 12:34 PM']I'd love to hear some clips if you've got the time.[/quote] Patience grasshopper... I'll get some up before friday, probably as a youtube video so you can see the settings and it's easier to upload Any songs/settings anyone really wants to hear?

Bought his OC-2 off him, great communication, great packaging, great to buy from

I seem to be buying and selling a scary amount of stuff on here these days, so figured it was about time I actually made one of these Comments, praises, criticisms, death threats, you know the drill

[quote name='Dosi Y'Anarchy' post='492074' date='May 19 2009, 07:29 AM']hey, if it doesn't sell, i'll buy the stache back. I'd buy it straight back, but i dont get paid till the 28th, The pedal i got to replace the stache also sounds great, but is more than double the size, and the stache'll go perfect on my mini-board[/quote] Hey Theo, if it hasn't gone by monday (25'th) I'll put it on hold for you [quote name='tayste_2000' post='492098' date='May 19 2009, 08:40 AM']You you be interested in a EHX English Muff'n for the Cool Cat and some money?[/quote] Sorry, for the first time ever I'm actually happy with my dirt/gain setup, won't need another one for a while

you're in luck my friend, this song was a staple of the setlist in my covers band.... At the time I managed to do it pretty well with a russian big muff and a crybaby bass wah, drive and wah are the basics, but if I was doing it now, I'd use my bad monkey (tube sounding overdrive), as it sounds like a cranked tube amp on the record, fuzz is probably too full on and you'll lose the regular bass tone, which is a major part of the sound, you can hear the rubbery thump of his P bass, if you haven't got a P bass (like I didn't) some flatwound strings will probably give you a good impression.

Shameless "I've just ordered a custom pedal and now need money for more custom pedals" bump, also price drop on cool cat to £35 posted Quick edit: I've decided the cool cat will be going on evilBay on Wednesday if there's no joy here, the Green Stache however I will not put on evilBay, as it's something of a rarity on these shores I'd like to know it's going to a decent home, still definitely interested in tremolo/phaser/vibe trades, probably leaning more towards a trem though

[quote name='umph' post='490707' date='May 17 2009, 05:49 PM']its in a mxr sized enclosure! i should really get some pictures up of the pedals, the artist i've got to do the painting for me is really quite good.[/quote] Oh dear, I think my bank manager just shuddered in horror, how much would some customizations run me? How bout a footswitch for the feedback control and I'd want the jacks in certain places This is becoming a very expensive week, I might need to sell some fluids....
-
I was putting some stuff in the loft a month or so ago at my uni house (It's bass related cos I have to stand on my amp to get in there) and found 2 fornicating squirrels. Needless to say I politely excused myself and let them carry on
-
Oh dear, I just had a horrible thought, how big is the chimaera enclosure? I love my homemade feedback loop but I built it inside a russian muff enclosure and I'm about to build a board finally, and it hit me how much space it takes up, plus I don't have a footswitch in mine and i could really use a TB loop, if you can build the chimaera in an mxr or even bantam enclosure you may have yourself a customer
-
Loving the ring modulator and the tube boost, like the sound of the diffractor too, love a sound clip of that at some point To be hionest I didn't listen to the fuzz samples, for the first time I'm happy with my fuzz/od setup and the last thing i need is temptation....

I'm gonna have time and cash over summer and with a couple of music type projects on the horizon I've decided to finally build a pedalboard. Anywho, I was wondering if there are any cheaper alternatives to george l's for customs, i've got a fair few pedals so to hook them all up I'd need 20 connectors and 2 or 3 metres of cable, which would run £100+, which, call me old fashioned, just seems silly for patch cables. All I'm interested in george l's for is the custom length and very small connectors, I'm quite happy with my tone using the brightly coloured moulded plastic crap I have now, and I've heard a lot of people saying they didn't actually notice any tone improvement with george l's. So are there any less bankrupting alternatives that have very small right angled connectors, custom cable lengths etc? I don't mind having to solder them together as long as it's easy to do

Complete and utter fraud...
bobbass4k replied to doctor_of_the_bass's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
it's gone now, wonder if evilBay stepped in (for once) or he realised he'd been rumbled? -
Another unnecassery bump for addition of cool cat
-
Well, if everyone's joining in......my xp-100 might need a tricky switch replacing or the firmware flashing or something, could I jump on the PM bandwagon?
-
Unintentional bump, my cash situation has sorted itself out so I'd definitley consider trades for a flanger/phaser/tremolo/vibrato or any other weird oddities, could also offer up my 18v cool cat (chorus) for something pricier
-
Shameless, shameless bump

Hey, just got this off Theo (Dosi'Y'Aanarchy) a few days ago, it's a great pedal, but i just can't justify 4 dirt pedals, this is great but I can get all the sounds i need out of the other 3. As this is a bit of an oddity round these parts I thought I'd go for a waffley explanation: Fuzzrocious is a company run by TalkBass member Ryan and his wife, he (mostly, I think) hand builds pedals from General Guitar Gadgets clone kits, then she handpaints them. The Green Stache is a GGG (general guitar gadgets) tuned Big Muff clone, not sure what the tuned part means, according to the GGG schematics the only difference between this and the green sovtek muff (considered by many to be the best version, especially for bass) is a few resistor values. Apparently the Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz of much pedalhead lore is very similar to a tuned muff circuit, so this could make a good alternative without the inflated price tag, importing hassle, year long wait and stupid secret handshake stuff to get one Fuzzrocious site with soundclips and vids and info [url="http://www.myspace.com/fuzzrociouspedals"]here[/url] Low-res camera phone pics: This thing is well put together, all the modcons, true bypass, 9v adapter, and it does have a battery connector. Apparently ryan has stopped putting them in his new pedals but as the gutshot shows, this DOES have a 9v battery connector. It's in good condition, few chips and scratches here and there but works perfectly fine. SOLD Also got my 18v Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus, great chorus, I've just got no use for a chorus atm, so I really can't justify £35 just to play along to the occasional tool song.... In great condition, couple of scratches here and there but nothing major, I'll include the 18v power supply too I'd let this go for £35 posted I'd definitley be interested in trades, ideally looking for a flanger/vibrato/phaser/tremolo but I'll consider anything that isn't a dirt/gain pedal (with the green stache I've got 4) I'd also sell both for a nice round £100 posted Cheers
