    5W only, but an amazing lounge amp. Sounds just like a good SVT.

     

    Under £100!

     

    I saw these and they looked great but will it be ok to run into an old style barefaced midget? I mean £70!

    Unless you are going to mic up the cab, IMO there is little point in using an amp for recording.

     

    I think just so I can throw down an idea. I mean I can do that at the moment but it's a bit more involved, though I'm potentially being lazy. Essentially I'm buying a small amp I don't need but I need justification for another purchase!

    I go straight to the desk live but I’m thinking of buying a wee amp head to pair with my remaining Bareface cab. Just for messing about in the house really but a bonus would be if it gave me options for recording. So a DI perhaps? I like the look of the Ampeg PF20T but it’s a wee bit pricey for something that may not get a lot of use.
     

    Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    Did you get the Toro in the end? 

    I ended up spending a wee bit of time with the Minitaur, loaded up the software for the Moog and the 12 Step. Haven’t looked at it for ages and almost lost my mind but now it’s all working great.

     

    So the Toro is on hold ….. for now 😀

    Power supply Moog Minitaur (Zombie thread!)

    in Effects

    Posted · Edited by steviedee

    Bringing my own thread back from the dead! I forgot I’d found a solution for this or @EBS_freak did 😁, Yankee PS-M12 Power Supply…. Now sold unfortunately!

     

    After a layoff the Moog is back but on a board of it’s own, I’m looking for a power supply just for the Moog ideally with a USB to power the controller KMS 12 Step and having completely forgot about this thread I’ve been scouring the internet looking for options.
     

    I eventually just thought I’ll stick an extension strip  (with usb for the 12 step) under the board. But the Moog Minitaur power supply is too big to fit with the extension under the board. So I’m looking for a power supply that supplies 12 volts at 1200ma. I could buy a Yankee but £179 or try the chap from Cioks advice and try 600 ma or rubber feet as the low tech option.

     

    I found the email from Poul at Cioks

     

    The manual states 7 Watts which corresponds to 583mA.

    You'll need to have 600mA available for this unit.

    DC5, DC8, DC10, AC10, PF2 and the CIOKOLATE are the options and you'll need the #8800 parallel adapter flex and two 300mA or two 400mA outlets at 12V to power this unit.

    90s Jazz Bass, Brian By Bacchus **Reduced** £230 posted!

    Brian by Bacchus Jazz Bass, made in Korea late 90s, teal finish. Surely in all of guitar history, no brand name as ever been as simultaneously daggy and awesome as 'Brian'. Bacchus guitars enjoy a famed reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail and wood selection in Japan, so much so that they really haven't bothered marketing their excellent offerings internationally. Brian was Bacchus' first shot at manufacturing outside of Japan, and were made very briefly in the late 90s in Korea.

     

    Own a bass called Brian!

    I picked up a couple of these Jazz basses locally, they are both excellent, IMHO this one sounded better to me with a mellower tone but it's a wee touch heavier! All the information I can find, which is minimal, is that these are made for Bacchus in Korea. They bass has seen some action but it is in decent condition for a bass from the 90's I changed the scratchplate, the one that came with it was not original.

     

    It's a great bass but I don't need two!

     

    Model: Brian by Bacchus JB-style
    Made: Korea, late 1990s (no serial on these)
    Finish: gloss
    Body: alder (unverified)
    Weight: 4.475kg
    Neck: maple, 15" radius, 34" scale
    Pickups: Bacchus 8-pole single coils

    Just wondering ; which is better out of the Minitaur  ,and the Toro  ?  Is there much in it ? 🤔
    I'd guess that the Toro would be better in a band situation . I have the Minitaur, and don't really think I need another Moog type bass synth . The Toro does look good though .  I decided not to purchase the Moog Marianne app , as I think too much Moog bass is a bit overkill . 

    I'm in exactly the same position, I think the Toro might easier just out of the box than the Minitaur but my Minitaur has been a bit neglected the past couple of years so at the very least the convo around the Toro has made me think about getting it together and using it again .... never heard of the app.... but I have now!

    According to page 43 of the quick start manual it is for MIDI over USB.

    Yes that looks promising cheers! Someone on another forum said it wasn't the case tho. Looking at the wee illustrations there isn't a usb midi in example but it does say USB midi. I might drop Behringer a line.

    It's got a USB socket on the back already. Doesn't that provide "MIDI over USB"?

    I don't think so I think it's just for connecting to a computer but not for midi unfortunately.

    Powering a USB device

    Posted · Edited by steviedee

    Not really a pedal question but I’m putting my Moog Minitaur on a board with a KMI 12 Step as a trigger. The only things on the board are the Moog, the 12 Step and the midi expander. The Moog is 12v and the 2 other devices are usb powered. I was wondering if I could get a power supply to power all of them? I noticed a Joyo 5 has usb or maybe I can get an adapter. Would there be anything wrong with just attaching a decent extension cable with usb sockets under the board and using the Moog’s power supply?

     

    cheers!
