  1. It's a pitty. If I were in the UK, I'd buy it for sure :(.
  2. I love the Compressore!! Not very pedalboard friendly, but pretty amazing sounding. I need to get one. Cool board
  3. Has any of you installed strap locks in the new Yamahas? I used to have Dunlop Straplocks in all of my basses, but I couldn't find a good screw that fit.
  4. If you need more effects than drive, I'd get a Line6 Pod go. Easier to use than the Helix, but with its effects. Great sounding unit. I've seen some people using the TC Electronic multi with great results. If you just need two drives/fuzz, I'd get a Source Audio Aftershock. You can use it as a two channel overdrive pedal, but it has memory for more. The Ashdown NM2 is also a two-channel overdrive/distortion. For overdrive and fuzz, the Way Huge Pork and Pickle also sounds awesome.
  5. I am now experimenting with some IR. I like the Seacow cabs. I have purchased some and I like the Ampeg 4x10. And I also like the stock cab, the Brute 2x15. However, before the HX, I have always get my sound from the DI of my amp or my preamp pedal. I'm still not sure about IRs... I might switch back to just DI with a LPF.
  6. This is the only video there is about their effects. I used to have one (prototype I think) and it was fault (when turned on, no sound). I returned it. Then, I was going to buy another one but I bought the HX Stomp and I don't use pedals anymore. But I'm pretty sure they sound really good.
  7. Besides, I you believed that 2000W, you would need special cabs...
  8. I've always been curious about the OriginAL heads too. It looked more straightforward in the sense that they only have the EQ section. And I think it's more or less the same (the frequeincies are the same I think). But I'm not sure if there are a lot of differencies beyond the Drive, Comp and Sub.
  9. Cool rig!! And cool Sandberg
  10. I've seen many people using the HX Stomp with the C4. I've always been curious about the C4 since it came out. I have the SA Aftershock and I think it's pretty amazing, but the HX can do most of the sounds that I want. The C4 on the other hand... Might be a good combination.
  11. They all look pretty awesome. But everytime I see the 415 with the pickguard I fall in love.
  12. Epi Jack Casady + HX Stomp. What a combo

      Is that like putting a fork, a spade and a shovel out and asking someone to take their pick? 😉😉

  13. Of course, if I use my amp, I don't use any amp in the HX. But I play ampless 90% of the time.
  14. Yesterday it was my second gig with the HX Stomp. An acoustic gig this time. I used my Jack Casady with flats and I wanted a B15 vibe. I made my own preset, but I wasn't 100% sure I liked it. I finally downloaded the SVT Super studio in the Dr Tone Labs website SVT Super Studio I switched the SVT amp to the B15 and made a few adjustments. It sounded incredibly good. The tone was just exactly what I wanted. However, I have to say that it's a 6-block preset for a clean sound. My original preset for clean was just 4 blocks (Comp, Little overdrive with a crossover, Amp and IR). How do you guys create a "clean" patch?
  15. When I got the Stomp I thought that I would go back to pedals in a year or less. Even my girlfriend told me that was going to happen. However, my interest in pedals is still 0. I kept some pedals I like, but I haven't used in a while. And the good thing is that. if I think about some sound that I want to try, I don't have to wait until I buy another pedal. It is likely to be already in the HX Stomp. It is not perfect, but for its price and the size of three regular pedals, it's now a must for me.
  16. Hello guys! I looked for a similar topic but I dodn't find anything. I've always liked the Gibson Graber (why no reissue??). In any colour actually. And the moving pickup. It has something. Of course, I'd love to have one and I will eventually (I hope). However, in the meantime, I've seen some brands which make good copies and some brands that made more budget friendly copies. I'm looking for some info about good copies. One of those popped up in my area but when I wrote the seller, it was already gone. I don't remember the brand. Do you guys know some good Gibson Grabber copies?
  17. I was a pedal geek. I used to have a huge pedalboard which was always changing. I was always looking for new pedals, new sounds, changing pedals that I had for new ones, trying different setups... I bought the HX stomp thinking that I was going to have it with other pedals. But after one year, all my gas was cured. The only pedal I miss and still use is my Ashdown preamp. The rest of the pedals are gone. And I don't miss them
  18. I don't have the ABM600 and people say it's different from older versions. I had the ABM EVO II (and I loved it) but I bought a RM500 three years ago. And it's my main amp. I find it more punchy than the ABM I had. Really good sounding. It's a pitty that the RM heads are not considered when people talk about best class D heads. There is no much publicity about them.
  19. This was my small board before switching to the HX Stomp. Everything I needed for clean sounds and even some overdrive.
  20. I have used it like two or three times. If you have it engaged and then boost the mids with the EQ it sounds good. I prefer flat, but it gives you some more depth. I have never really understand why the smiley face is so famous. I never really like it in any amp I have used. If I have to vote, I'd vote with the Shape off.
  21. Yes! Some gear can not blow us away at first, but then grow up on us. It happened to me with my Yamaha BB605. I'd been looking for one for some years. After I finally got one (and in the finish I liked) when I played it it was just ok. But after some months I got used to it and I love it.
  22. After some playing with my band, I can say that I was wrong about the RM112 cab. It is sounds really good. I tried it with my Fender jazz and my Yamaha BB735 and both basses sounded good. It can keep up with the 5th string.
  23. Yes, I can't wait to try it with my band
  24. Yes, I only raised for the pic
  25. I just bought an Ashdown RM112 Evo II. I wanted something more compact and portable for small stages. Today it arrived and I was testing it for about 30 minutes. And I have to say that I'm a little bit dissapointed. My impression is that it has a lot of mids. I cut some mids and it sounded better, but I find it a lot of mid focused. What do you guys think?
