    Nice one. Yeah, I'll spend a while looking into it a bit more, that Mackie does seem to have quite a few negative reviews about long-term reliability. If I'm saving £ on not getting an Amp then I'm probably best off getting something a bit higher end like the RCF or QSC to do well with Bass.

    ........sorry, more searching around and I can see this has been discussed a lot already. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/315455-interesting-frfr-story/

    Have just seen a similar topic https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/404764-the-frfr-option/page/3/#comments I'm now thinking that the active FRFR speaker option is a good one. I've got compressor, tube overdrive, cab sim, and DI pedals so can probably bypass needing a Bass specific Amp and Cab, possibly just use a active FRFR speaker- that can also be used for PA stuff and replace my shoddy setup. A good option seem to be the Mackie SRM650 which goes down to 39Hz. At £427 it's a fair bit cheaper than getting a Bass Amps and Cab.

    Yeah, good point. My Bass doesn't sound great through my current PA setup (via a Bass Simplifier preamp pedal), but I think that's down to my PA setup being a bit shoddy (it sounds good at home through studio monitor speakers). Perhaps getting a decent PA setup will actually cover everything just as well as getting a Bass Amp/Cabs that can work as PA.

    I'm hoping to trade my PA amp and speakers for a Bass Amp and Cab that can also be used for PA. It seems like the Barefaced super compact and big baby 2 would do a good job of this, both are advertised as FRFR and can be used for PA, and have a range of roughly 30Hz to 20kHz. (and possibly the Barefaced super compact- but that only goes up to 4kHz, perhaps not high enough?). Then I'd need need a Bass Amp that can do 'clean' sounds when using it for the PA- I'll have the DJ mixer to control the PA type frequencies that the Amp doesn't have controls for, but do Bass Amps actually push out the higher frequencies or will I need to keep my PA poweramp? .......possibly it's too much compromise and I'm best off getting a specific Bass Amp and Cabs and keeping the PA setup separate.

    Yeah, I'd be tempted with the Agro for the same reasons, I'll be interested to hear what you think of it. I tried a lot of Ocatave pedals and the Octamizer was my favourite for it's natural sound and feel/responsiveness so I'd like to try other Aguilar pedals (but you're right- it can't track low notes, and I found it couldn't track sustained notes as well as the MXR BOD, or track low notes as well as the digital things like Pog or Sub n Up). And Aguilar pedals will sit neatly together, top mounted jacks are a definite plus point.

    Dubstep at it's dubby best (before the agro screechy stuff took over what everyone associates with the genre....which, perhaps ironically- was also pioneered by Coki with 'Spongebob').

    SOLD OmniCabSim Deluxe: £160 Tweakable cabinet simulator and DI (with aux in, headphone out with separate volume control, balanced XLR, ground lift, and 1/4 'through' and 'output'). Perfect working order, very good condition, boxed. RRP £259, and being from Chile with only one UK distributor that is out of stock these aren't the easiest things to get hold of. Postage via special delivery £7, or collection from Twickenham. My seller feedback is here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/446834-feedback-for-sumone/ Will consider a trade/part exchange for an amp head, ideally >300w with FX loop, aux in, headphone out, XLR out. Something like the Ashdown RM 300 or 500. .................... Info from: https://www.dsmnoisemaker.com/omnicabsim-deluxe/yh0m9 A cabinet simulator is a device designed to emulate the frequency response of a speaker system. Guitar and bass speaker systems have a very pronounced filtering effect, rolling off the low and high frequencies very sharply due to their physical and electrical properties. Things like cone size, material, impedance, enclosure size and type, even distance from a wall, affect these filters very noticeably. Features: The Philosophy behind the design is to allow the user to CREATE their own cabinet response settings, moving away from the typical preset cabinet simulators in the market. This approach let the musician to define his own sound and getting an accurate reproduction of it when recording and playing live gigs, without depending on mic placement, amplifier or cabinet availability..Just dial in your favorite tone, tune your cabinet response and go straight to the PA or recording gear!! Mic and Line output. Compensate levels with the gain control. Tunable high frequency response emulates the steep low pass filter that different speakers produce. Tunable Low frequency response that controls the low end roll off typical of speaker of various sizes. Tunable low frequency resonance lets you dial the resonance of the low end roll off point, reproducing the effect of closed or open back cabinets, and anything in between. Mid control lets you dial “modern” or “vintage” responses. Punch control boosts the 800 Hz band, that lets you cut through the mix with warmth.

    Withdrawn: I have decided to keep this and sell my OmniCabSim (see other advert)
  11. SumOne
    All sold.

    9pm to tonight the ebay auctions close for CEB-3 (currently £34) and Pigtronix compressor (currently £39) so you might get yourself a bargain.
  13. SumOne
    I've also gone through a big list of od/preamp pedals looking for the same thing (including sansamp, darkglass, ebs). The tc electronic spark is quite cheap and small and good for some mild tube type overdrive. But the best I've used is the DHA VT1 EQ, that's where my search ended. It's massive though. But if you want genuine tube like grit you still probably need something with a genuine tube - so that's usually quite a big pedal.
  14. SumOne
    Yeah, I like the look of the Proton, 'down' sweep is a big thing the M82 is missing....so I'm not completely settled yet.
  15. SumOne
    I bought a Spectrum, it's very good but something about it I didn't get on with, not sure what specifically but it just didn't do it for me so I returned it. I then ebay bid on a spacial delivery but lost, bid on an M82 and unexpectedly won.... So I'm now onto my 3rd M82! Its a bit of a toxic on/off relationship - it's a bit old, not very flexible, but we've got history and it's got personally and can get quite dirty!

    Fat Mike chooses a few here:

    Will consider a trade/part exchange for an amp head: >300w, with headphone output, FX loop, and ideally DI out and aux in. Something like: Ampeg Portaflex PF-350 or 500, Ashdown RM 300 or 500, Tech 21 VT500.

    RIP to these two greats:
  19. SumOne
    Nice work! It's a decent pedal, I wasn't very creative with it - basically used it as a practice tool to play over chords, but it has a lot more potential. Looks like you wouldn't have much trouble selling it for the same sort of price if you find its not for you.
  20. SumOne
    Winner! That was down to the line nail biting stuff, can see why my aunt spends so much time buying and selling glassware on ebay! Tune in again this time next week for more excitement with the CEB-3 and Pigtronix auctions!
  21. SumOne
    Exciting stuff!
  22. SumOne
    You could sell it to the bloke on Facebook and make a tidy £7!
  23. SumOne
    Someone just offered £70 on Facebook and I pointed them to ebay so I expect they will bid. No worries if there aren't other bids, I'll cancel your bid if you want (not sure how though, I don't know much about selling on ebay)
  24. SumOne
    It'll get as big as gamestop

    Freeze eBay auction ends at 9pm today ....£63 at the moment, will it get to the BC £75 asking price? or more? Will the buyer actually pay? Will eBay pay quickly or hold on to the cash for as long as they can to gain interest?!? It's about as exciting as things get in lockdown Monday evenings. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electro-Harmonix-EHX-Freeze-Sound-Retainer-Guitar-Pedal-Boxed-Power-supply/224361354626
