  1. truly! Hahaha the Adam sounded fuzzier after changing the amp.. I did try it live and practise a bunch of times though 😂 this is fine tuning now, we’re getting closer to regret it all and start again 🤣(Capo on the way)
  2. Blackstone, woolly mammoth gone - lol fella and lo-fi junky available.
  3. Thanks @stewblack! I’m interested in a C4, lots, but all the menus etc editing and so on does take me aback a bit.
  4. Hm - interesting way to get myself into trouble - I was thinking of the C4 as a synth / octave but this being simpler and having fuzz could get me out of some trouble...
  5. well - not to suggest you need to buy new gear, but if there's something I've taken from the Jad Freer Capo threads is that users are very happy with the LPF function. An LPF after the DI could help you reduce that sizzle/fizzle on the top whilst still sending a pretty much full signal to your cab - it is the way I'm planning to work moving forwards!

    Jad Freer Capo

    Well, thought I'd update - the order has been placed... I ordered directly through them via email with a pro forma, and transferred the funds via Wise (Transferwise). This seemed cheaper to me? Including shipping, we're looking at £390 that left my account (409 euros plus 27 euros for shipping, 436). The Reverb ad was showing as £416.69 + £29.63 for shipping, so about £447 plus then I'd assume looking into VAT and all that stuff (probs a 20-22% on top?). Aware this % is what I'll have to add to what I've paid for already, but thought I'd share the numbers in case anyone is on the fence. Anyway, what matters is that I shifted some gear and I've already burnt that cash. Oh, life - but also, pretty excited for this pedal coming in! Best, Ander.

    Warning. Warning. Warning. I'm one small sale far from affording the Capo. Whilst that is good news, oh boy, what a dry dry dry month awaits until I get it, with nothing more than a compressor and a distortion pedal on my board

    ... And, of course, I started selling some of my precious valued pedals in search for the perfect tone - not fair to hold out the Capo to that premise but hoping it'll get me closer, and free the real estate to let me get a C4 Synth lol. Looking around in Reverb to check the Capo, 'similar products' highlighted the Chase Bliss Brothers - 2 gain stages, each working as Boost / Distortion / Fuzz - simpler EQ, no ID, but also a combined mode to stack A into B or B into A. At risk of hijacking the thread, has anyone looked into this? Seems like they are indeed comparable - the Chase Bliss feels more like a distortion pedal than the Capo is in terms of DI for sure, but worth your thoughts!
  10. I'm trying to simplify / rejig my board, for tuner + C4 synth + Capo + Compressor. Hence, my pedals below are up for sale - I'm not desperate and the comp is a feeler - I may change my mind and keep them so go at them whilst available. Add a fiver for postage: * £230 Blackstone Appliances Mosfet drive: The star of the show - super rare, great overdrive/distortion, with 2 channels and capacity to shift the EQ from flat to scooped, separate gain distortion levels for each with knobs that won't make you wonder whether your settings are busted - can adjust easily with a nail or a pick though. Anything from adding a bit of hair to actual distortion is possible. Works a treat on bass and the brightness/depth can be adjusted via plug in capacitors and trim pots on the rear - I never felt the need for that tweaking though. SOLD. * £160 ZVex Vexter Wholly Mammoth - as the name suggests, a massive, gated fuzz tuned specifically for bass - amazing when combined with the Blackstone, but just great on its own really. SOLD. * £130 Fuzzrocious Lil Fella - distortion to fuzz depending on gain, comes with a gate engaged on the switch - crunchy tone, super organic, able from low drive to metal * £160 ZVex Instant Lo Fi Junky - chorus perfect for lo-fi / introducing odd noise with three wave signals flickable on switch... lots of depth/compression from 80s chorus to vibrato. * £70 ThorpyFX Fat General Clone - a feeler since I love this pedal, but I could be interested in other comps potentially - tone enhancing, always on pedal - I just love it but open to a change if anyone is after this. Like I said I love this pedalboard and you can tell it's been crafted with love, lust and GAS - happy to keep them but I'm interested in trades with a C4 Synth, POTENTIALLY a Source Audio Aftermath or a cool compressor but ideally trying to get funds for a Jad Freer Capo.
  11. Unopened set of Ernie Ball slinkies 45-130. £20 posted Unused Labella 760M 52-110 £30 posted, cut for Fender with lots of wrap around post - bought them off a basschatter who said bought them new a week ago - tried them and gauge is just not for me. can do swaps for Labellas 43-104 or 45-105. Best, Ander.

  12. Argh! Interested, but need to look how does it compare to the Lil Fella!
  13. Would totally get this if I could - instead I had to do with the tattoo version! Bump on me!
  14. Jono offered me his fender vintage precision pickguard. He reached out to my ‘wanted’ post and packaged it perfectly. Film was still on, fast delivery - can absolutely recommend! Cheers @Jono Bolton Ander.
  15. @Jonse weren’t you after this?
  16. DM'd.... hopefully we can agree a price! @Hydra19

    @EmmettC you’re not helping me save monies! 😁

    argh! I’m strapped for cash and have so many other bits to sort, but I’m not sure that I’ll hold out for much longer. Conversations with the JF team have been great too, and I feel like comp + c4 + Capo is as minimal and versatile as it gets. I play mostly neosoul/Motown and cranked up (metal'd up 😆) punk rock… C4 for textures, ala octave, synth lead, pads, chorusey stuff, and done.

    Aha! I love the darkglass clank but my gripe with DG is that it eats bass from the EQ all the time, making it thinner sounding. the Lil Fella is better in that end but I’m still to find a distortion that does me the same fat thick bassy tone as my clean…

    Also I'm quite liking this for a saturated tone, around 4:08 :

    Well! I am back bringing some goodies - being the instagramslut™ I can be at times I took advantage of a post from Jad Freer's insta on 'DM us with any questions!' I have to say they were super nice and answered my questions... Mattia was happy for me to post this here: So in essence, yes it can do pretty high gain, not sure it gets to the level of Darkglass but still... It could well replace my current gain stage (Blackstone devices mosfet OD, woolly mammoth, lil fella) to purchase a Capo for similar sale value of those... and leave space in my mini board for a C4 synth to put on the effects loop. That and a compressor and you'd have a pretty mighty mini board eh? The links Mattia referred to: Not maxed out And this is 2:08, with gain at about 1-2pm on both A and B sides, potentially could work out for me squeezing it a bit more:
  22. I’m interested if available still and needing to post…!
  23. As title… perfect condition, 3 different waveforms too. would prefer to swap for a c4 synth but happy to sell too.
