well, I guess its a matter of taste, I didnt like how mine sounded with active basses, though it sounded fine with my fender jazz

Hey Dude, Yeah, I remember the Russian muff wasnt too keen on actives either. At the time I was looking for a new fuzz though (when I saw the Bass BM), I found another fuzz that blew my mind, the Earthbound Effects Supercollider which I'm currently waiting on... It's finished and coming my way this week. That pedal will complete my board, when I have it, I'll post some pics of the completed board.

I used to have a russian BM, but apart from eating the low end, I felt it was near uncontrolable... I was curious about those new bass versions, but I have to say that the vid-demos I saw on them didnt do much for me...

toasted, what's that big 3 stomp pedal?

No pics yet, but these are the fresh contents of my pedalboard: Boss Tu-2 EBS Multicomp MXR M80+ DI Akai E2 Headrush Marshall Regenerator Zvex Wooly Mammoth Clone (DIY) Boss CE-2B (Still hunting for one... if anyone has one, PM me)

[quote name='umph' post='285008' date='Sep 16 2008, 01:55 PM']how good is your mate at building things? because having all of those in a reasonable sized enclosure would be near on impossible[/quote] He's pretty good at it. for what I had in mind, he had made in the past something that looked similar to the moog pedals, but extended, and the top wasnt 1 piece, but 1 for each "pedal", the idea being, you get sick of that pedal, you get another made, to fit in the same enclosure, and its pretty much plug and play. However, a lot of what's been said here made sense, and I'm giving up on the idea, as it's never going to be "perfect", so I'm going the separate pedal way.

Hey guys, I've been looking through this thread much like chedattom was describing... lol. thing is a while ago, I had to sell off most of my FX, keeping only the bare essentials: MXR M80+ DI EBS Multicomp Boss Tu-2 I'm thinking about getting back some NICE Fx. Unfortunately, There isnt much chance of trying out most of these "boutique" pedals that I'm seeing loads of here, and frankly, the norm doesnt really satisfy me much anymore. With that in mind, what would you gear-whores (joking) recommend for: [b]Phaser:[/b] Long Deep Swells is what I'm looking for. [b]Delay/Loop Station:[/b] On the delay part, I dont need fast delay times, basically just echos, on the LoopStation part, I dont need something like a DL4, as simple as I can get them would be fine, as long as the sound quality is good, and I can record some base phrase and layer on some parts. doesnt need to go beyond 14secs or so... [b]Bass Chorus:[/b] I've tried a boss CE-2b japanese version in the past, and quite liked it... anything around those lines that you'd recommend? [b]AutoWah/Envelope Filter:[/b] I've tried a few, none have done it for me. Tried: dod fx25, dod fx25b, ebs bass IQ, EH Qtron+ EH mini Qtron... Cheers guys

I believe its being substituted for a newer model with a different model name. fm4? something like that anyway

Jimmy Hendrix Fuzz Wah, who's tried it? What's it like for bass? also, anyone have any experience with the DOD FX-17 Vol/Wah?

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='257426' date='Aug 7 2008, 05:47 PM']I know you said no distortion, but I'm gonna break your rule. Make a synth pedal like this: Octave -> Fuzz -> Filter Octave can be whatever tracks well. Fuzz should be something really heavy with a nice top end, like a Maestro Brassmaster or Tonebender clone. For the filter I would go for a low pass Korg MS20 or a DOD 440 clone, controllable by either an expression pedal or taking an envelope signal from the very start of the chain (so it's clean and hasn't been messed with by the octave or fuzz). Hell, make one of these and I'd buy it off you![/quote] You know, that does sound interesting... to me, there are a couple of problems though... Octaver: Never found one that actually tracks properly... Fuzz: Never found one that didnt sound like a buzzsaw on steroids. E.F.: Never found one that didnt eat up the low end and doesnt have stupidly high peaks.

[quote name='Alien' post='257125' date='Aug 7 2008, 12:38 PM']I'm guessing that this isn't [i]entirely[/i] hypothetical... Are you in a position to give more info, or does this 'friend' want to keep things off the radar for the moment? Andy[/quote] Hey Andy, No, its not entirely hypothetical... this guy is used to picking up the diagrams of well known pedals off the net, and making his own based on that, with a few added bells and whistles... So, what I was thinking about initially was something along the lines of: (TC Electronics Bass Chorus + Flanger) + (some kind of deep fat phaser) + Delay (if I could find a MUCH SIMPLER delay than the DL4, but that could record a long enough phrase, that would be just wicked, and yeah,. I'd like the normal delay options though nothing too extensive) I really liked the idea of a "Flanger with very flexible controls so you can go from chorus to phaser type sounds"... if you know about any pedal that will fit this bill, let me know. Now, I'd like to have some input from you guys in what specific pedals you would choose that would be doable in DIY and would have good quality and versatility.

Say you have a friend that makes his own homegrown pedals, based on diagrams etc found on the net, and you got this crazy idea to ask him to make you a 3-in-1 pedal that is true bypass, has master volume and wet/Dry mix, and you get to choose 3 fx. What would you choose? (RULES: no EQ, no Distortion, no Compressor. those are taken care of.)

I've owned and played a fair amount of basses, nothing like some of you that have 50 basses lol. My ONLY bass now is my Sadowsky Tokyo 5. Very comfortable to play, Growly and Tight lows, simply the nicest 5string that I've ever had my grubby hands on. I've tried Jerzy's, Ritters, etc, none fit me better than that.

[quote name='bassjamm' post='235385' date='Jul 8 2008, 11:43 PM']... Nah, i can't try it before i buy unfortunately, it's in the States! My F Bass doesn't quite bark/honk enough for me really...and to be fair, the F Bass is far more than ... Hmm...come to think of it, i'd much rather have your old Sadowsky, or Ari's old Atelier...gargh!!![/quote] No Way mate... that Tokyo aint up for sale anymore s'up Gwilym?

[quote name='queenofthedepths' post='158019' date='Mar 15 2008, 04:44 PM']Seth Horan[/quote] Great stuff! love a bassplayer that can play as he does, and still sing over the top... Great talent. Speaking of talent... when did Tal Wilkenfeld stand out in the circuit? me thinks 00's

doesnt make much of a diff in my case as I always use compression by itself (WHEN I use it.), but if I wanted to level out the spikes on the other pedals... hmmm.

lol

I'd actually put compression first so that all pedals get a nice clean level signal.
