RIP Cliff!

I can’t reach Kill ‘Em All. Too much stuff in front of the shelves…

The NUX MLD pedal is great. I created an IR of my 2 15" cabs and it sounds really good.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I would like to change the PCB a little because there are one...two errors. Maybe then...

As @itu says Gerber files would also be good. For any of your preamp pedals, they all look amazing.

Peavey Standard MKIII Preamp:

 

I've been waiting for you to do this for years!!
I don't suppose you have an additional pcb you want to sell?

It's rather good isn't it?

Yep. I think a cd may be necessary

Just finished listening to it. Properly good!!

Nice work!!

Same here

Listening now...

After struggling to think what to listen to, I asked my daughters for a letter each. A 'T' and a 'U'...
So it's Tubeway Army

I've just discovered Empire State Bastard!
Who'd have thought members of Biffy Clyro and Oceanside could come up with something this good.

They get bonus points for getting Dave Lombardo as a member too.

i've got a TC Electronic SCF gold which is quite good but fairly subtle,

I've tried: 

Digitech Bass Multi Chorus
DOD FX60 

Trace Elliot Quad Chorus

Boss Bass Chorus

And none of them really did it for me, then I got the TC Electronic SCF gold. My search was over.

Ooh, that's a tough choice.
 

Probably a home done compilation tape with, amongst others:

Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Dead Kennedys, The Damned, Minor Threat, Iron Maiden, Dio, WASP, The Cramps, The Meteors...

if we are going for tacky here, might as well go the whole way!

 

 

Damned right!

What did you get?

Julie Christmas!!  ❤️

After Sakevi's death 2 weeks ago I've been listening to G.I.S.M. a fair bit.

String alignment issued aside, in that video the bass sounds pretty good all the way through.

I'd dread to think what his opinion of an EB-3 is...

Well it's certainly not Nottingham.

But you had Pitchshifter, Fudge Tunnel and Iron Monkey!!

DPD every time 👍

Depending on where you live even they have issues.

The service around here is spot on, but my parents in Coventry have had problems.

Being the pedant I am, you'd have to qualify whether your mean a city proper or the greater metropolitan area. Fr'instance do you only include the inner London boroughs or do you also add on the outer ones?

 

Any road, pound for pound I'd say Sheffield. Def Leppard, Arctic Monkeys, Human League, ABC, Cabaret Voltaire, Heaven 17, Joe Cocker, Pulp, Bring Me the Horizon, Comsat Angels, the beginnings of the Warp label (home for Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada ..), Jilted John, Thompson Twins...

Sheffield definitely has a hell of an output.

A link for a cab took me to a nonexistent Facebook page... 🤣

I was at the Supersonic Festival, in Brum, over the weekend. In the marketplace was a guy with some pedals and guitar amps. I had a chat with him about his stuff and it sounded great so I picked up a TODP (Tube Overdrive and Distortion Plus)

Precondition LF cut: B/P or 220Hz

Clipping / Control – germanium, silicon and LED / 2, 4 or no anti-blocking diodes 

Load / symmetry – 47KΩ hi clip, 200KΩ low clip, or 100KΩ middle

Recovery LF boost: B/P, 220Hz and 80Hz (1st order)

Recovery boost: 6db / 0dB / 12dB 

Only 3 potentiometer controls:

Drive – smooth transition (some models have a wider range)

Filter – Low Pass Filter (2 ranges available, standard or bright)

Volume – Recovery boost allows this to go pretty loud

I asked about modifying the Precondition to drop the cutoff for more bass. He said to try the pedal first then shot him an email and he'll give me all the info I need. Or I can send the pedal up to him to sort. Super nice guy.

I've not played it through an amp yet, just through a preamp pedal and headphones, but it sounds super nice. Gain is from just a little grit to full distortion. I plan for this to be an always on pedal to give my CTMs some nice dirt without stupid sound levels.
