  1. I have pau ferro on a fretted Warwick Streamer and on the Fender Jaco fretless jazz and I like it a lot on both. In fact, I liked it so much on the Warwick that I was giving serious consideration to using it on a custom bass. I loved how warm the tone was, albeit it’s difficult to discern how much of that is down to the fretboard wood and how much is down to other factors.
  2. Looking forward to seeing it! I hope you love it!
  3. Hi @Bleezar, I'll DM you. Both the TK-421-X and Volt Thrower are really excellent bass-tailored takes on the RAT but given I have a Volt Thrower for sale I don't think it's fair to give a run down of each on this sale thread.
  4. I’ve used Aitken Audio (https://www.aitkenaudio.co.uk) in Sheffield three or four times when getting pedals mended and I think Neil at NRG (https://shop.nrgeffects.com) does some repair work too.
  5. A nice ode to the Prunes & Custard.
  6. The COG pedal looks very involved! What does it do?
  7. Thank you for setting me on my way with it! I hope all’s good for you.
  8. I recently sold a couple of pedals to Rich. Communication was quick and pleasant and everything went quickly and smoothly. A good experience and would be happy to deal with again.
  9. Thanks for the heads up but I'm already well-stocked on the TK-421 front. It's a lovely pedal though so I'm sure someone will get joy from it!
  10. Agreed. These are brilliant!
  11. 😂 I'm definitely staying away from that thread then! I suppose each lapse is a recurring advertisement for new gear? We should just continue to swap.
  12. Haha, thanks! On bass guitar discipline, a little. I'm at one for 2025 and that was a ticking off an item from my bucket list kind of thing. That is until we chat and make it a hat trick of bass purchases from you... curious to hear about your 2 for 1 deal... <danger> Good luck with the 3.33! Three out of four isn't bad I guess!
  13. @kuetsum I enjoyed the laughing emoji. You know me well enough that pedal discipline has been, shall we say, lax. In 2025 I have actually sold more pedals than I've bought, which is the first time since 2020. It's not really enough to join the gear abstinence thread but it's a start!
  14. Thank you for the kind words! I'm trying to be a lot more disciplined with pedals so there are some here I feel a bit queasy about selling. All part of the process, I suppose.
  15. Now updated to reflect selected price drops. UK postage via Royal Mail Special Delivery is included in the price. All pedals are in good working order. Pedals are boxed unless otherwise stated. Please let me know if you have any questions about them. I'm not really looking for trades but I've got wanted ads up for a Hamstead Subspace GE and a Cog T-70 v2 and remain interested in those pedals. Broughton Calamity - £160 £150 – a brilliant muff optimised for bass. It’s one of my top three muffs for bass but I have two so I’m parting with one of them. Hiero BEAD v3 - £205 £170 - a very well-regarded take on the Brassmaster (Hiero sold this in a brown paper bag, which is included, rather than a box) Dunwich Volt Thrower - £300 £250 - sought-after RAT-type pedal from the brilliant Nick Williams. They all seem to be a little different but I think this version has Schottkey and germanium diodes (no box). COG Custom Solid Snake Blender - £90 £80 – similar to an LS-2 and is configured so that the pedal can either run the A Loop, B Loop or A+B Loops. It also has phase switches. I bought this because it’s a COG pedal and I love Metal Gear Solid. Moose Nomad - £160 £150- my favourite octave fuzz. I have a slightly newer version so I'm selling this unit. Cog Effects R-1 - £290 £260 - another brilliant octave fuzz from one of the best builders in the business (no box, missing one screw which was donated to another COG pedal a while back). Magic Pedals Cthulhu (black-out) - £190 £160 - one-knob Fuzz Face-type fuzz. Wrought Iron Leather & Effects Kaiburr - £275 £200 – a cool fuzz with an excellent LED design reminiscent of Kylo Ren's lightsaber. SOLD BOSS HM-2W - £90 - HM-2 Waza style. SOLD Broughton BBA - £70 each - signal optimiser and buffer for the start of your chain. SOLD Broughton Subsonic - £140 - Broughton's take on the OC-2 (battered box). SOLD Magic Pedals Fuzzthrone (black-out) - £215 - versatile Fuzz Face-type circuit. SOLD Magic Pedals Magick Fuzz - £175 - muff-style fuzz (no box). SOLD Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath 2.5 (boxed) - £125 – HM-2-style distortion. WITHDRAWN Damnation Audio MBD2 - £180 - versatile distortion in a smaller format than the MBD3. WITHDRAWN Nightowl Industries Parabellum v2 - £250 - a Nightowl Edison tube preamp and distortion circuit.
  16. The top left pedal is a Dark Father preamp from VVCo. They sadly seem to be in the process of closing down owing to a death in the team. It’s a weird one but sounds quite good once it’s dialled in. The chain is: T-65 (Octave) > Grand Tarkin (Fuzz) > Resurrector (HM-2 Hybrid) > Han Taun (OD) > Dual Knightfall (Distortion) > Tarkinfall (Distortion/Fuzz Hybrid) > Destroyer (Fuzz) > No Moon (Dirt Galore) > Royal Jelly (OD/Preamp) > Hyperspace (Chorus) > Darth Fazer (Phaser > Rebel Rebel (Delay) > Blue Harvest (Reverb) > Dark Father (Preamp) T-65 effects loop: Boba Fuzz (Fuzz) The big pedal at the front is their Darth Jelly from last year. I have a similarly themed Harmochorus from the previous year too which isn’t on this board.
  17. I think today’s the logical day for showing this one. May the 4th be with you, and all that! I’ve added a delay since last year and a more fully-featured drive pedal. The drone, a multi-chorus and a fuzz have made way. I’m happy with the functionality of what is essentially a novelty board though. In particular, the bass chorus and reverb both sound right up there with some of the best of that type of pedal.
  18. I actually signed up for those in a moment of time-optimism. I haven’t started yet but I’m finally prepared to go down the rabbit hole.
  19. Interesting looking course from Neil at NRG: https://www.pedalpatch.co.uk/workshops?mc_cid=f4d8a5f6c9&mc_eid=377f14edc2 Given he makes one of my top three overdrives and it looks like the below inside, it may be worth a look! I think I have a clash that date but definitely sounds interesting for the future.
  20. FTelettronica - they make really excellent clones of some classic pedals. The Amianto (Animato clone) is very good too.
  21. It's always a pleasure to deal with Jim. We've bought and sold items with each other a few times, with Jim most recently purchasing a pedal from me. He's knowledgeable about pedals and always happy to chat about them. Very highly recommended as a buyer or seller.
