[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='329429' date='Nov 14 2008, 09:53 PM']Blimey! That's over 250 miles as a round trip!!! Incredible service... Nice bass btw..[/quote] What can I say, I like driving! Peace of mind for me too, knowing it's there in one piece.

Glad you're enjoying it already mate! [Edit] Forgot to mention, I think the original plastic coating from the factory may be on the rear cover to the electronics!

A +1 here for the Ibby SR506. Was thinking of getting it myself and had a play on one. Absolutely wonderful to play, didn't feel too much like an ironing board.

Hey guys, we've just uploaded a video preview of the four songs we've recorded along with clips of us in the studio etc. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think! [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CJJ1cXXHPeE"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CJJ1cXXHPeE[/url]

My band is in the studio at the moment, and as far as editing goes, the only timing changes are ones that are very noticeable and detrimental to the song, such as when the g*itarists miss the opening beat, and even then it's only "very close" to the beat. We definitely prefer the natural feel.

My band Inside View are in the studio at the minute, and we have a quick clip of our guitarist recording a solo. I realise the vid is poorly lit and you can only hear the guitar mostly, but I hope you enjoy anyway! [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5L4mny4RXaU"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5L4mny4RXaU[/url]

[quote name='DHA' post='309871' date='Oct 19 2008, 03:44 PM']Valves add compression anyway as they tend to fatten out the sound and seem slower to react to peaks than solid state. But there is always the colour switch on the EQ which switches in a negative feedback path into the circuit and this introduces compression and gain. Dave[/quote] Sounds like it'd be just what I need Dave! Would the pedal be OK to run after a Boss tuner pedal, or would I be best just leaving the tuner out until I need it? The idea of the VT1 is certainly intriguing and would be great to have all my tone coming from just the one pedal.

If I was to buy the DHA VT1-EQ-DassDrive would the internal tube offer any natural compression? With regards to compression I'm only after a tiny amount just to smooth out the sound, so was wondering if having the tube in the DHA pedal would give me the small amount I need?

[quote name='Thunderhead' post='308015' date='Oct 16 2008, 05:09 PM']I would get three pedals: A tuner A compressor/limiter An EQ Boss make industry-standard, high quality versions of all these (the compressor is called the Bass Limiter-Enhancer, and you want the dedicated Bass EQ; the tuner is the standard TU-2). If you're not wanting anything more radical than a simple clean bass sound you won't need more than that for any situation. You don't really need a DI box if you use modern-type pedals like Boss since they all have built-in buffering and will happily drive any amp, desk or length of cable (or DI box, on big stages where the soundman will probably want you to use his one anyway). I think that high-quality individual pedals do sound better than cheap multi-FX units too by the way.[/quote] Would you recommend the Boss LMB over say perhaps the BBE OptoStomp? I like the look of the OptoStomp, nice and simple, and I'd have it as an always on effect.
