    Oh go on, I'll take the last one. I've not used a Prunes and Custard in ages, but I always loved how they sounded. PM me the payment details!

    I also moved over to an M13 when the hype for that was real. It was a decent system, but never really worked out for me. I was inspired by Chris Hargreaves, who was doing amazing things with the M13 at the time, and we were along music in a similar genre, but I couldn’t make it work for me. I’ve considered the quad cortex and the AxeFX a few times, it constantly fear that I’ll just want to go back to multiple pedals and a big board. I’ve kinda some to accept that this is just my sound. Im predominantly doing electronica stuff and very often have 5 or 6 pedals active at once, and often controlling at least 2 of them simultaneously with expression pedal(s). In fact, it very rare I ever use a clean bass sound. This need for complex pedal stacking would limit me to only a few options in the multifx world, and as someone that thrives on ‘knob per function’ gear, that world is very hard for me. But, like Ste says, I could sell all my pedals, boards and power supplies, and easily buy any multi on the market with cash left over. And that temptation, despite my hesitations, is very real. If I was making any move, it would prob be an Anagram to replace at least half my pedalboard, with a few staple pedals alongside it.

    When the best name your R&D team can come up with for your new overdrive pedal is, “overdrive”…. Hmmmm.

    I know I’ve owned at least 20 boards, some of which I’ve purchased at least three times, and one was a very expensive custom job. I think I’ll leave them off the list. And power supplies… that’s a whole other can of worms.

    Oh hell yes! Until the realisation hit me it was interesting to track the curve. At one point, about 10 years ago, I sold up entirely. Bass and all. At that point I had a collection of about 50 in my possession at once. Then, some years later, I slowly rebuilt a collection. It was eye opening to see what I’d owned at what time… and painful to know that I’ll never be able to afford the five Moogerfoogers and MP-201 again at current prices

    John Cusack dreams of making a movie with a plot this deep!

    You know it’s bad when you look at images of boards you were using on gigs, or in the studio, and you think, “what the hell is that pedal?” Or “I have no memory of that!”

    During a rather sleepless night last night I decided to make a list of all the pedals I’ve owned over the years. I thought it would be an interesting post, maybe even its own thread, a “what stuff have you owned” type affair. But as the list grew, and grew, and I checked photos of old boards and gigs to make sure I didn’t miss anything, I realised this was not a very good idea… in fact, it ended up being a painful wake up call to the financially crippling power of GAS! I think I ended with 205 pedals on the list, and while many of them were trades and not purchases as such (and specifically only stuff I’ve owned, not tried, borrowed, etc), assuming I paid for even a quarter of them at RRP makes me want to cry. I love pedals so much, but I really can’t recommend this exercise!

    Very tempted. It reminds me of aspects of some other pedal's I've loved over the years, most namely the Tech 21 Red Ripper, and the Fuzzrocious Croak, but certainly has its own flavour. I sense a purchase incoming.

    Only one low gain OD!? Lightweights. Anything less than three stacked drive pedals and it’s not really bass

    This is an update on the famous Subdecay Noisebox, offering much of what the original did, along with a gnarly gated fuzz. The mix control lets you blend between the fuzz side and the noise side, to tailor the sonic destruction accordingly. I have way too many synthy noise makers so am moving this on. Boxed, great condition, Velcro underneath. Asking £120 posted in the UK. Payment via bank transfer, or PayPal if you cover the fees.

    Up for grabs is the most powerful expression pedal ever made. Three analog outputs, two midi and on SA sensor out. Programmable range for each output, plus LFO generators on each. If you don’t know what it is, do some googling! IMPORTANT - The pedal has a slight annoyance, which as I understand it, is very common on these units. If you calibrate the pedal to a full sweep, when you leave the pedal to rest to heel or toe position (take your foot off it), there is a slight movement in the treadle, meaning that heel or toe position will move a tiny bit as you remove your foot. Thankfully the pedal has a calibration process that lets you set dead zones at either end (maybe due to this reoccurring issue). As such, it is currently calibrated with a small dead zone at each end, equal to that small movement. As a result, the pedal functions perfectly, but if you run a full calibration again, you’ll need to compensate for it again. If you don’t touch the calibration you’d never know about this, but I wanted to be upfront about it. Pedal itself is boxed and in perfect condition. Last one on Reverb sold for £270 earlier this year. Asking £220 shipped within the UK, payment by bank transfer, or PayPal if you cover the fees.

    There’s this - https://robertkeeley.com/product/30ms-automatic-double-tracker/ But the idea here is to make it simple to do this with a single input.

    There are plenty of good options on here, but I’d suggest going for two pedals if your budget allows. Stacking overdrives has many benefits, but also gives you three options - pedal A, pedal B, pedals A+B. Having one at a low gain and another at a higher gain gives you lots of options. You also get a few other dynamic options, if you want to be creative, by having other pedals between them. For example, if you put a chorus between the two drive pedals, as well as having your three drive sounds, you also now have drive into chorus and chorus into drive. Most importantly though, there are many incredible sounding drive pedals that don’t have two stages of gain, meaning it’s way easier to find two great tones and stack them than it is to find one pedal that has two drive tones you really love.

    Lots of folk run parallel effects chains, and I’ve done it a lot in the past. My most common application was to run one long chain of pedals, then have an octave down in parallel so you can ‘kick in’ the sub under a line. Blending dirt pedals together in parallel is also very common. There are loads of blender pedals out there, but the most easily accessible is the Boss LS-2, which does a million things and everyone should own one, just for trying crazy routing options out when an idea like this hits. Though you have two outputs, I think using them for two chains will be less flexible that just using something like an LS-2 or other blender to split one output, due to the fact that most blenders will let you swap between just A, just B, or A+B mixed at the press of a button. I assume the value in your dual output is really to run one to amp and another straight to DI and FOH.

    Awesome. I’ve had my eye on it for a while. Really appreciate the sound clips!
  17. pantherairsoft
    Let us know your thoughts. I really like the aesthetic of these - has that old school vibe nailed.
  18. pantherairsoft
    Super cool! Stunning tidy work. @admiralchew how is the Lutz on bass?
  19. pantherairsoft
    I’ll dig a little deeper into the side by side specs. I have more expression pedals and expression splitters than I know what to do with, with I’ve always use pitching on its own pedal and typically, I’ve found great use for the built in extra of stuff like this. I do think the presets will be a game changer, but maybe I can live without them. Either way, I’m fairly certain one of them is getting added to the collection.

    This is epic helpful. I’m away at an event in London for the next few days, but if I’m still this excited about it when I get back, I’m ordering an XS-100!

    Purchased a couple of pedals over the last few months from Mike. Awesome comms, well looked after gear, quick postage etc etc. Super happy. Thanks!
  23. pantherairsoft
    Purchased a pedal from Jeremi, no problems, great comms, quick postage. Can't ask for me. Thanks!
  24. pantherairsoft
    As you're already rocking the XS-100, can you confirm if it can do two detuning AND still have the dry signal (so, sweep from unity to +2 Octaves and -4th, and still hear the unity dry), or does the dry (no sweep) need to be one of the two 'voices'?
  25. pantherairsoft
    Hearing lots of good stuff about this at the moment. Very close to pulling the trigger on the 100.
