I've got a behringer limiter that's suprisingly good, it does what it's supposed to. I'm not really using it though, I don't play slap or use filters that much, so it's sitting unused most of the time, you can have it for £12 posted if you want.

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='407218' date='Feb 12 2009, 01:30 AM']That looks pretty good - add £2 for a mains lead though. Does it come with the daisy chain?[/quote] Unfortunately it doesn't come with a daisychain, they sell them for £2.50, but to be honest i'd get something better, it's the one gripe i have with it, the connectors don't flex very well, which gets very very annoying if you have pedals with the power jack on the side, and there isn't a lot of wire between them,, but the actualy supply is fantastic

I've got one of [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12&zenid=240abf60e7861096f4161bdc982e658f"]these[/url] and it's brilliant, from what i've heard it's essentially the same as the diago. It'll power 1.5amps with no hum, which is at least a dozen regular pedals, but the daisy chain lead is only boss type 9v, so they won't power eveything

That's odd, one of the things i love about my devi ever cherry pop is that it's noise free. It's very high gain , and it's very noisy and sensitive when actually playing, but with no signal going in it's silent. If you turn the bass volume down all the way and there is still noise, then it's definitley the pedal, and compression or gating probably won't help, it's just a noisy circuit. If it's completely quiet with no signal going in then it's just high gain/very sensitive, and gating or compression will probably help, but you could try other things like turning the gain down and boosting the signal with a pedal later in the chain

pretty much every queens of the stone age and kyuss song

edit: I had a brainwave last night, I've already broken my lightshade, so my damage deposit is gone, which means the carpet covered notice board screwed to my wall is effectively mine.......I've still got to cut it down to size and put some extra wood on so it's at a good angle, but it works pretty well. I also went crazy with some paint tester pots and painted my homemade feedback looper (the russian muff enclosure), I may have also been slightly drunk at the time and decided to decorate my wah pedal too.......Anywho, it seemed a little pointless to post a new pic just one post later, so i just edited this one And the " I think it should be compulsory too" nightshot

Finally got round to building it, it works pretty well, doesn't seem to like my chorus though, at really low feedback the signal just gets buried under a weird muffled phaser swirl kinda sound, and anything higher it just buzzes really REALLY loudly, same with my whammy. But it does like my od and fuzz, i spent the better part of today fiddling with them, still havent figured out exactly how they behave in a feedback loop, but it does exactly what i want: making really weird noises. With my delay set to a kind of stuttery tremolo, and a simple turn of the gain knob i can turn my bad monkey into a better sounding dirty synth apprgeiator than a lot of actual keyboard synths i've used. Now i just need some paint to repaint my big muff enclosure with a hilariously witty design, I'll post a picture of it with the rest of my pedals in the pedalboard porn thread as soon as my newly acquired sb7 arrives (can't wait to put that in the loop eitheir). Thanks for the help

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='397366' date='Feb 1 2009, 10:54 PM']I reckon this should do it using only a spdt switch. In 'bypass' mode the signal goes direct from input to send and direct from return to output jack. When loop is switched on, the return signal can be fed back into the send jack via the pot. hence this gives you the loop with no need for the true bypass switch - after all, the effects boxes themselves have an off switch you can use if you don't want the sound in the loop. [/quote] Cheers, that's just what i was after, i've already got the stuff, i'll give it a go now. Nothing like a little late night soldering.

The biggest problem i've found is belt rash, i always have to wear a belt, it's not just scracthing the bass, it feels really uncomfortable, but right around the nutcracker area is where it's most comfortable to play, plus i'm 6'3" and i've got more back problems than my 80 year old grandad, but i do feel this probelm, it's not just rock and roll'ness, i don't find it too comfortable high up eitheir. What i usually do is wear it just low enough so the belt's not a problem, and put my left leg on a monitor or something for quick high register stuff, or rest my right leg on my amp and rest teh bass on it for longer stuff. Wow, that's a lot of talking about my weird physicallness

Hey, i've got an old russian muff thats dead, so i decided to build a feedback loop in the enclosure. Anywho, i found [url="http://experimentalistsanonymous.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=134"]this[/url] which is pretty helpful, but when ordering stuff, i found footswitches are pretty expensive (i'm trying to build it for<£10) and it occured it to me that i don't actually want a true bypass box, and i wouldn't use it, and i'd only use the feedback loop pedal when kneeling down to make noise with my pedals so i don't mind activating it by toggle switch. Anywho, how would i wire it up so that it's just the in and out jacks, and a pedal hooked up to the send return jacks, and the pedal works as normal when the feedback toggle is off, and feedbacks when it's on? (so much for physics students being problem solvers........) cheers

DO NOT tape the bottom plate if you ever plan to take the tape off, i did, and the tape took the the paint right off, but you coul take the plate off and flip it round, and tape that gently, i it's gonna be living ona board it doesnt ed to be on too securely, that's what i'd do

Cool riff with the right bass sound[/quote] A lot of people think i'm insane, but i still say that song invented stoner/blues/psychadelic rock, It's quite simple, repetitive, got that huge bass groove running right down the middle, it just rewminds me a lot of early sabbath/blue cheer/hawkwind, maybe it's just me. Anywho, to actually contribue to the thread, i just finally got down "Here's to life" by streetlight manifesto, took long enough. If you've never listened to it, do. A lot of people say the bassline is a lot of showing off and trying too hard, but i think it first perfectly to the song, and it captured perfectly the essence of ska

I've got a behringer limiter, it's not half bad,i agree with most people, it does what it says on the tin, but it is made of plastic, i'm too afraid to stomp on it, i activate it very gently by hand and leave it. It's not gonna last 50 years like a boss or a highe end boutique pedal, but for £10 -£15 it doesn't have to

does Tia Carrera count?

At the moment it's full of clothes and books because the drawers are for important stuff like cables and batteries but when going to a gig/practice/jam it conatins Tuner Spare Strings Allen keys screwdriver picks (just in case) Maybe a small pedal or 2 Dustcloth Cables Straps Buff Lemon Oil if i have some Soldering Iron Solder Solder braid (never hurts to be prepared) Batteries Gaffer tape Wire strippers/cutters Tic Tacs (Spearmint only) Various papers, tabs setlists etc Scale and chord books The strongest Painkillers i can find (Bad back) The strongest Booze i can find (nothing under 50%) And a pair of womens underwear (not mine, they wound up there after the best post-gig party ever, they never leave the bag, to remind me of good times) And the bass of course

because i'm a nice guy (so they tell me) and the fact that the bottomplate of my crybaby is held on by 1 screw....here's my trim pots: sorry for the crappy camera phone pic, if you can't make it out, mine are the same as yours, and mine have never been touched, so i would say we both have virgin trim pots
