Boss OD is now gone

kitson, i've pm'd you. there's a couple of folk ahead of you in the queue tho.

[quote name='Kev' post='1025065' date='Nov 15 2010, 07:34 PM']Great price, good to see a deep impact that isnt quite at an insane price For anyone that wants the full original package, i have an original deep impact power supply i could sell on Bump[/quote] cheers for that Kev

[quote name='crez5150' post='1024617' date='Nov 15 2010, 01:46 PM']Hi does the Akai come with any of the original box/manual etc...?[/quote] Yep, the Akai comes with the box - you can just about see it in the pic - and the manual, the only thing I no longer have is the original power supply.

Boss Overdrive is on hold.

£600 wow Nope, for basschat £300 it is. These Akais do seem to go for silly money on ebay these days. I priced this one based on the 'silly money' versus how much I paid it for it new all those years ago and came up with a figure that, given these pedals have appreciated in value on the market, gave me a profit I was comfortable with. To be honest I think £600 is too much to pay but don't tell my wife I said that otherwise she'll have me adding another £300 quid on.

Other than the Ring Stinger and the Deep Impact, the prices include Royal Mail P&P. I'm thinking it would probably be worth insuring the Lovetone and Akai in the post which I think will cost a bit extra. I'm happy to negotiate on how to send these 2 pedals and splitting the cost with the buyer.

Here are some more pedals which I think haven’t seen any use for maybe the past 5 years. Many of them might be better for guitar but I figured I would put them on Basschat anyway as I’ve had good experiences buying and selling on this site and I know some of you double on guitar. Lovetone Ringstinger - £600 Bizarre and very excellent ring modulator, great for proper old style modular synth sounds, making Dalek voices and reproducing the immortal line ‘I am Iron Man!!!!!!!’. Comes with the light jack for modulating carrier wave and, unlike many ringmod pedals, allows you to use the input signal as a carrier for a super rich sounding octave fuzz which sounds great mixed with some straight bass sound. Admittedly, not much of a pedal for bass but figured I would put it on basschat anyway. Guyatone TZ2 Fuzz - Sold Full on octave fuzz which, similar to the Ringstinger, sounds good mixed with clean bass sound. It also sounds great for Stooges type guitar sounds. Danelectro Daddy-O - £35 Nice sounding overdrive that doesn’t thin out the low end of your bass and has plenty of rockin’ midrange. Gives more of a ‘cranked old Fender head’ vibe than a Big Muff or Rat type distortion/fuzz pedal. Obviously works well with guitar. Boss CE-2 Chorus - £130 This is a Japanese made model with a green label on the bottom. Seems to be quite sought after by guitarists on Ebay these days for it’s ‘classic’ chorusing . Sounds good on bass, kinda like Scott Thunes on ’88 Zappa tour, though in fairness I think it thins out the low end a bit. Doesn’t come with the box but I will pack well for postage. Boss Bass Overdrive - Sold You nose it!!!! Goes from clean boost to Big Muff fuzz out. Akai Deep Impact - Sold Excellent sounding bass synth that many of you will know well. I thought I would keep it after selling my old Korg G5 on here but I just don’t think I’m going to use it and it seems a shame for it to sit idle and mute on my shelf. Unfortunately I don’t have the original power supply but this pedal works fine with my Rocktron DC-On-Tap.

All pedals are sold.

bump EBS is still available for £65

The Meatball is sold. Octabass is still for sale at £65 or would consider a trade for a Boss OC2.

Both the Meatball and the EBS are open to offers, the prices above are ballpark.

bumping bumper

Monday bump, Meatball and EBS both open to offers

Giving this one a pre-weekend bump. Meatball is getting attention but no takers yet, Octabass is feeling unloved. Both open to offers.

G5 is now gone. Meatball and Octabass still looking for a good home, both open to offers.

G5 is sold pending the usual

Yes, contact Gunsfreddy2003. He was just asking me about how a Meatball compares with a Mutron.

Hi there everyone I've had a few PMs now asking about the comparison between the Meatball and the fabled Mutron III so, given I also have a 'tron, I thought I would offer my thoughts on how the two square up. The Meatball is way more flexible than the Mutron, both in terms of features - it has an effects loop for keyed inputs, the envelope itself is far more tweakable - and in sound. The Meatball's filter frequency is tweakbale from subterranean to ear bleed whilst the Mutron sweeps only in that pleasingly phatt mid range. I reckon the Meatball's flexibility is both a plus and a minus. On the plus, like the filter on a synth or 'studio' filter, it can go more extreme/weird on bass or pretty much any other sound source, where as in my experience the 'tron is good for those kind of generically funky midrangey filtering sounds on bass, guitar and keys. The minus is that it can produce a lot effects which are just not useful on a bass, and given it has way more knobs than a Mutron, until you get know it the Meatball can be tricky to set up on gigs. It is a pedal that takes a bit of time to learn but what I have found is on bass I don't touch the sens (12 o clock), attack (about 10 o'clock), colour, intens and blend controls (all maxed), trigger half/full (full). This leaves me tweaking decay, up/down, filter range and filter type which are pretty much the same controls as on the Mutron. Sound-wise can the Meatball match a Mutron? I did such a test before putting it up for sale and I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, that is as good as you can get without having a Mutron. For the purposes of normal usage - that is on a gig or in a studio mix - I would say unless you are a filter geek or someone who buys into pedal mojo, the Meatball will easily satisfy your Mutron desires. On the other hand if you want to compare filters in your bedroom, the Meatball will be slightly different to the 'tron (not worse, just different). If you set the Meatball's Attack to around 10 o'clock and back off the Colour to about 3/4 o'clock, it easily replicates the Mutron's lazy triggering. In short, the Meatball will give you Mutron-ness with a whole lot more. That 'whole lot more' will either be felt as deeper (quite literally in terms of frequency range) possibilities to be explored or an annoying distraction depending upon what you want. Hope this is helpful and thanks for the interest so far. Adam

So I have a few pedals to sell. They have been sitting in a cupboard not seeing much action for a few years now and I figure it's far better that someone is using them to make music. All of them are in excellent condition, boxed with the manuals. 1. Lovetone Meatball - [color="#0000FF"]Sold[/color] Super juicy juicy envelope filter with lots of knobs, lots of tweakage and lots of possibilities. Stick an octaver and fuzz in the effects loop for synthy goodness. This one is dated 1998 for those that are interested. 2. EBS Octabass - [color="#0000FF"]Sold[/color] This is the old grey model. I never bonded with this and much prefer my old EHX Octave Multiplexer. 3. Korg G5 - [color="#0000FF"]Sold[/color] Excellent bass synth that I gigged a lot with at one point. I've restored it to the factory settings and it comes with the original power supply. All prices are of course flexible so feel free to make offers, however I am not looking for trades. Cheque (must clear), cash (if collecting) or bank transfer please. Price includes Royal Mail P&P.
