  1. I can’t honestly remember. I’d have look one up to be honest. It was several years ago now
  2. It’s been a long time since I used either. I used the BDDI first, the V1, and thought it was cool, but having no mid control wasn’t ideal. Then I got to use a Paradriver and it was just like “wow, this is everything I wanted the BDDI to be” The sweepable mids control just seemed to make a huge difference to my cloth ears. I think @Lozz196 has plenty of experience with both pedals, and could explain it far more eloquently than me. I think the BDDI has more drive on tap, but I only ever used either on a fairly low drive setting anyway. More of a grit than a overdrive as such
  3. I’m picking up a ABM600 this weekend. Sold my EBS and my ABM500 decided to give up the ghost last weekend. Seriously thinking about swapping out my Darkglass X Ultra for a Paradriver too.
  4. The V2 bass driver is a cracking pedal. IMO the Paradriver is even better, the sweepable mid control just makes it so versatile
  5. Dropped my EBS TD650 off to it’s new owner yesterday, and with the ABM500 currently dead, I’m ampless for the first time since I started playing at the tender age of 17. I’d kind of made my mind up that I was going for a ABM600, will get the 500 repaired in due course (assuming it’s financially viable), and then from out of nowhere, a GK Fusion 550 becomes available. I’ve gassed for one of these things for years, this is going to be a tough call! 🤦🏻‍♂️
  6. Sold my EBS amp to Paul, arranged a meet up near Birmingham. Had a chat and was nice to meet Paul, great guy, really easy to deal with. Would deal with Paul again without hesitation
  7. I was planning on selling the X Ultra and getting a Sansamp Paradriver, safe to say I’ll be buying the Sansamp before the X Ultra goes, to make sure I’ve always got a DI pedal with me.
  8. Sod’s law that it decided to pack up the night before I sell my EBS amp, which is being dropped off to its new owner today. So for now, I’m ampless! I will get it sent off to Ashdown for an assessment, but I’ve been meaning to get an ABM600 for a while now, so maybe it’s the kick up the derrière I needed
  9. My very early ABM500EvoRc decided to give up the ghost on me tonight, with a puff of smoke and the delightful smell of electrical burning, halfway through the first set of a gig. One stroke of luck, before the gig I was going to take my Darkglass Microtubes X ultra off my little pedal board and put my EBS Sheehan pedal back on but decided I couldn’t be bothered to faff about. I don’t usually go through the PA for smaller gigs, but luckily I was able to use the Darkglass as a DI box to bail me out.
  10. I love mine, and they were an absolute bargain when new, but I do wish they would relaunch it in a smaller enclosure.
  11. Think I’m going to change my V7 for a gen 2 V7 vintage. Love the black, black, maple look with the black block inlays
  12. Absolutely fantastic pedals these. I’ve always thought they were better than the BDDI, the mids control makes them so much more versatile.
  13. Absolutely! The thread would be pretty boring if someone posted the worst ever cover, and we all just replied “yep, that’s the one”! 😀 These kind of threads are great for dividing opinion.
  14. It’s the vocal that does it for me, it’s dreadful
  15. We can add Radioheads cover of Nobody does it better to the list too
  16. These threads are fun for seeing everyone’s differing opinions. Granted, it probably isn’t the worst cover version I’ve ever heard, but I just can’t listen to it. As soon as the vocal starts, it’s game over for me! 😀
  17. Sorry Lemmy, but this is utter shite
  18. Nice EBS Sheehan signature pedal i see lurking on the board!
  19. I’ve got the same one, but the chrome version. Very early model with 2 separate hi/lo inputs
  20. Would be happy to discuss a trade for an ABM600 Evo 4
  21. Very very classy looking rig!
  22. Awesome! I think there will be a lot of folks on the Ashdown threads very keen to hear your thoughts!
  23. I’m curious to know what you’re replacing it with!
