9pm to tonight the ebay auctions close for CEB-3 (currently £34) and Pigtronix compressor (currently £39) so you might get yourself a bargain.

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.

You're one up on me with MXR M82s then. Tried to love it second time around and just couldn't. Too brittle / harsh. Guess I'm going to be stuck with my Proton Mk4 for a while...
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.
-
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!

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.

82 quid! I was expecting a last second flurry! But no. I pushed too hard
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.

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!

Exciting stuff!

God no. I'll take it fair and square!
You could sell it to the bloke on Facebook and make a tidy £7!

fingers crossed - for both of us
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)

I have the winning bid atm. I only went on there to bump it up for you 🤦🏼♂️
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.

DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Bass Station. £220.
Mint condition, only used at home since purchased from Andertons for £299 in mid-December (one of the newest batch). It works perfectly and sounds great but I have changed my setup so it's no longer needed. Not really anything else out there with all these features, and it's all in the size of a small Boss pedal!
-
DI:
- 1/4" Jack in: passive/active input switch
- 1/4" Jack out: output/thru output switch
- XLR DI out
- XLR DI parallel out
- Ground lift switch
- Phase invert switch
- Aux in
- Headphone out (with volume control)
-
Preamp:
- EQ: Three-band +/- 15dB EQ with 3x Mid Frequency select
- SVT type drive
- Preamp FX loop
- Parallel FX loop
- Parallel LPF 100Hz/500Hz
- Parallel/Preamp blend
-
Cab sim:
- 3x cab size
- 3x colour cabs
- Mic position
- Resonance

I'm actually going to return the EBS.
It works fine and is good but isn't quite good enough for me to justify £170 considering alternatives like 2nd hand M82 for about £100 which is less versatile (particularly no sweep down) but does the quick 'quack' percussive type bandpass sweep up better and has useful separate clean/wet volumes and decay filter control. Or about £150 for 2nd hand Spectrum for lots more tweaking versatility.
.... or the Proton, spatial delivery, funk lite, discumbobulator all seem to be slightly different flavours of the EBS functions for simar new price, possibly they will have the mojo in looking for.
Anyone looking to sell any of them give me a shout.

Is there a big difference between the old 2 control pedal and the new 3 control one. I am more thinking is it worth looking into the new one if there is not so much difference between the old and new pedal.
Thanks
I've only tried the new one. The q control is useful - I think it would be quite limited without it, and switching from full/band/low pass filters gives quite different results so I'm fairly sure it's quite a big improvement.
-
An EBS MB2 replaced my Sansamp BDDI. I preferred the EBS once I'd figured everything out - there's a lot more going on.

EBS BassIQ Blue Label arrived and it's good, I'd only got it on impulse expecting to probably return it but I think I''ll probably keep it - there's tough competition in this price range though.
Compared to the M82: Not much in it between the two but if I was just after a bandpass filter sweeping up I'd probably get an M82. The M82 clean/wet controls and depth control are things the EBS doesn't have, and the M82 has a bit more of an in your face 'quack' than the EBS, I do like the EBS tone though- it's smoother. And the EBS bandpass is okay at keeping the low end without a clean blend because it seems to work a bit differently to the M82 in that the threshold at zero is pretty much 100% clean and it gradually gets blended out, that along with the Q and Attack seem to all interact with each other and the amount of clean blend a bit more than the M82 controls do, so although the EBS has fewer knobs it can still get a similar (or perhaps more) variety of tones just in the equivalent bandpass + filter up settings. The M82 sub type sounds with sensitivity dialled down are also a bit more full on than the EBS - but I quite like the milder (and perhaps more usable) EBS sub. The EBS doesn't have the Decay frequency control of the M82 which is a shame, but the main thing the EBS is lacking is output volume control- it does have an internal pot for that, and it seems to be at unity without adjusting it so it's hopefully not a bit issue, still though - what if I want the sub tone turned down and then change to a more 'quack' setting that I want louder? Seems an important omission for a £170 pedal (but the Fwonkbeta is similar).
The big positive of the EBS though is that it also does full range and low pass filters, and a second up sweep setting (internally adjustable range), and down sweep. So 9 combinations in total and all of these can make decent sounds, so for that added versatility I think I'll stick with the EBS rather than M82.
The EBS is also in the sort of price range of a second hand Spectrum though which has even more versatility - but that needs phone/laptop tweaking and it only has 6 presets available without buying additional controls vs the 9x EBS settings....and like I was saying with the C4, it's not as obvious that 'green light middle toggle' is, say 'lowpass sweep up' than having it there on the dedicated controls of the EBS.
Of the filters I've owned: Helix and Zoom envelope filters I didn't think much of, but the Fwonkbeta, EBS, M82, and Spectrum each have their pros and cons and all are good in their own way. For the time being I think I'll stick with the EBS but will have an eye out for alternatives - my search would probably be over if it just included clean/wet volume controls and a decay frequency control.

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!!
