The59Sound

I've heard a tuner is capable of doing that. 

£15 for an American Sound? Would like to see where that is. 

It is indeed, another plus point. 

I don't know why but I've never listened to a Pink Floyd album. Come to think of it, the only two songs I have heard by them is 'Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2' and 'Comfortably Numb' which has one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded IMO. I still don't know why I have ignored them? 😕

£17.37 with free postage on fleabay... I really liked the Green Rhino so have high hopes for this. 

Valeton OC-10!

I've not played the orange burst unfortunately

No worries. So essentially, it's a Tubescreamer that retains low end for bass? Sounds perfect.

I think so long as the tune was something the punters knew, and wasn't being completely mangled, they wouldn't notice who was playing it!

However, if it's world class musicians playing something unknown your average punter would just leave!

In December I saw a notice at my local pub saying a Dutch band were playing there. So I went, and this band were playing, just in the tiny bar; they were most certainly world class musicians, but they were playing proggy originals:

 

I was awe struck for the 1.5 hours they played. Sound was perfect, at a reasonable level - most certainly not too loud and most definitely a head-and-shoulders above what you'd normally hear in Knighton. Especially as it was free!

However, a steady stream of locals walked in, ordered drinks, didn't even glance at the band, didn't even pause in their loud shouty conversations, and just left to go and have more shouty conversations just like they did every single other Friday and Saturday night. One even asked me what the band were like - I said they were excellent musicians and well worth listening too; he said "don't know the song" and promptly went outside.

It just makes me think that the majority of folks don't actually like music as a thing, especially if there's any complexity. Don't know why - laziness perhaps? But judging by how music is treated in schools, and by our broadcasters - where music will only appear at prime time as X Factor, or in that weird stuff they do for Strictly where a tango has to be done to something by Madonna just in case folks feel a bit challenged - it's not surprising. However, it appals me that a majority of the population are missing out on so much creative endeavour cos they don't realise that the effort you put into properly listening is repaid in spades!

That's why the covers band scene is so big - bigger than it's ever been in the UK. People want the same old rubbish played over and over and over...

People don't like change. Never have and never will. The people who say "Those were the days". 

Have you played an Orange Burst? Could you compare the two? 

I tried the MojoMojo and thought it was a bit 'farty' for want of a better word. The Orange Burst to me was similar but not voiced as dark and the break up sounded more natural. Great little pedal for the money. 

Orange Burst in a different pedal? Or something entirely different? Sounds good either way!

Isn't that the case with any pedal maker? 

Not very cheap though are they?

Blueberry, OD Glove, Orange Burst are the ODs I have used.

Would something like the Octave Multiplexer be any good? Or should I still try using a boost?

How about an octaver; an OC-2 or similar for example?

Didn't need it ?

Act confused all you want but to me the Bongo was a vastly superior bass - straight trade too. 

A chorus when the guitarist solos? Never even thought that could be done!

Easy enough to change a pre-amp.

I just traded the bass in the end for a Bongo.

Considering purchasing a boost pedal for use in my power trio. Whenever the guitarist takes a solo, I normally use OD to cover the space but don't like how sometimes it can make it seem unnecessarily heavy... heavy may be the wrong word.

Anyway, I'm really happy with my clean tone and thought a small volume boost would work wonders for these sections.

Does anyone here use a boost pedal regularly? 

Might also be worth looking at the Tube Pilot if you're a fan of TC drive sounds:

The Caline Orange Burst is worth a shot also. 

Don't worry - someone still can't get over being called out for the TC RH450 being the best amp... in the world. 😂

I'm pretty confident they wouldn't. would.

Fixed!
