  1. [list] [*]The sound of classic studio optical compression of the 60's and 70's at your feet! [*]The first compressor pedal not to suck the life out of your tone. [*]Operation is fairly straightforward. There are two inputs on the front side of the unit: a 1/4" input jack on the right and a 1/4" output jack on the left with a battery-ground switch on the input jack. [*]There are two controls on the unit: compress and volume, plus a foot switch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. [*]On the side there is a trim pot to set the overall gain of the unit. [*]Compress affects the amount of gain reduction (compression) of the input signal. [*]Turning this clock wise will give you up to 30dB of gain reduction (depending on input gain). [*]Please note that the Compulators max gain is 26dB (see Trim Pot) so in some circumstances if your instrument is very hot you could achieve less than unity gain if you turn up the compress knob too much. [*]Volume increases and decreases the output volume of the Compulator. Use this for level matching between the effected and unaffected signal. [*]Trim pot sets the gain of the compressor's pre-amplifier. If distortion occurs turn this down until the signal is clean. [*]The unit is set at the factory at 20dB of gain which is perfect for most instruments. If you have weaker pickups or want to push the envelope turn it up to its max gain 26dB. [*]Power supply: 9 volts DC. Either external or internal. For internal power, use a 9 volt battery. To access, remove the four screws on the sides of the unit and pull apart. Note: battery must have at least 7 volts for unit to work! External power supply using mini plug, tip positive, 9 volt DC regulated (100 milliamp or more). [/list]
  2. forlorn bump
  3. Willie was an inspiration for me to first pick up the bass guitar. A great songwriter and great bassist. Good work.
  4. Thank you AntLockyer. Now £75 delivered in the UK. I think that's it. Any lower and I feel I'll have to keep it, or find somewhere else to sell. I'd consider swapping it for a decent hard case for a Fender Jazz. A Hiscox in good nick would be reasonable.
  5. I've noticed my foot tapping involuntarily recently. I wonder where the noise is coming from, look down, and it's my right foot spasming with the music. A bit like when a dogs leg moves when you scratch it's sweet spot on their back. I want a foot pedal cabasa.
  6. Lovely looking instrument. Very reminiscent of one with a black pickguard that got away from me in the nineties. Good luck with the sale.
  7. Tough crowd eh? It may be a little tatty looking and might have been technically surpassed by shinier newer models but it's still a classic pedal. Heres a link to the ovnilab review... [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/compulator.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...ompulator.shtml[/url]
  8. £80 delivered is a stone cold bargain.
  9. No interest? What about £90 delivered?
  10. Classic compression pedal. Bought second hand from this parish a few years back and criminally underused by myself because I couldn't be bothered buying a decent power supply when I only own this pedal and a tuner. Used it live for a few shows and the engineer loved it. I don't gig anymoreand it doesn't get used, it sits forgotten in a box which is a shame. [b]£75 delivered, [/b](I accept Paypal if you pay the fees), in the UK. You're welcome to try before you buy if local to Plymouth. I've bought things and sold things via this forum many times. Thanks for looking.
  11. Both cabs now sold. Thanks George.
  12. Sold George a cab today. Thank you for an easy, swift transaction. Hope you enjoy it.
  13. I'm starting a thread for kevvo66 who bought a bass cab from me. He deserves a positive feedback thread because, in a forum that can be fraught with feeble minded tyre-kickers, he made it a decisive and positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Nice to meet you Kev. Hope you enjoy the cab.
  14. The second cab is on hold, pending sale.
  15. Now only one cab remaining. Thanks Kev.
  16. ...aaand [b]one is provisionally sold again, [/b]pending payment. Only one cab remaining ATM. Apologies to those who only expressed an interest in a pair.
  17. [quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1404983105' post='2497472'] Hiya Shambo, is second still up for sale? [/quote] Looks like [b]both are back up for sale[/b]. I might be tempted into a trade for something MIJ Fender (but not a Jazz) with some money coming from me for the right instrument.
  18. [quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1404789633' post='2495708'] Vouching for Mr Shambo and that he's a great person to deal with. GLWTS pal [/quote] Thanks Grae. Hope you're keeping well.
  19. The first cab is provisionally sold, pending payment. The second cab is still available. My feedback can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/61231-feedback-for-shambo/"]http://basschat.co.u...ack-for-shambo/[/url]
  20. Reposting this advert because I didn't realise the price/trade value had to be the total for both cabs. [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bit of a reluctant sale this. An imminent foray into mature studenthood has thrown my life into the air, but in a good way. Exciting times ahead for me but uncertantly about where I'm going to find student digs has led me to rationalise my bass gear. I'm keeping my Jazz and practice amp but am prepared to reluctantly sell my pair of Purple Chili 12" cabs.[/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here's some manifacturing blurb:[/font][list] [*]Powder coated metal grille [*]Road ready metal handles [*]Metal protection corners [*]Neutrik speakon connectors [*]Pro 1/4" jack connectors [*]"Pure Look" retro styling [*]Pro Celestion driver [*]1 x BN12 300S Neo driver [*]300 watts RMS [*]8 ohm as standard [*]40Hz - 3Khz [*]H 49cm - W 52cm - D 41.2cm (excluding feet) [*]Weight 12.7kg [*]Made in England [/list] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I bought one directly from the manufacturer and bought one from 'Bass Culture' of this parish. I used to run them comfortably with a LM2, usually singularly in a rehersal situation and only twice as a pair in anger, (that is to say they've led a sheltered life, never been required to run close to full volume). One has a slight mark on the top from an amp head. Both are in perfect working order and would pass any inspection, (which you are free to do by appointment in Merseyside, just bring an amp).

It was very complimentary and all positive I promise. Please buy with confidence. All sensible questions answered. No lowball offers please, these are nice posh cabs.

  23. Another happy Purple Chili user here. High quality UK cabs and nice 'n light. GLWTS.
  24. [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1378566670' post='2201924'] Why would you want to replace a perfectly good LMII - I'd suggest another LMII or maybe a 450. [/quote]The LMII has served me very well and I'd highly recommend it... but I want to sow my wild amp oats.
  25. No model is too obscure or too obvious. Non too workaday and non too esoteric. All suggestions are welcome as long as they will hold their value.
