The way I have the SOL fixed to the underside (Velcro and a long cable tie), it does sit a little further down than the stock Nano feet can cover. So I bought some larger feet from B&Q for about £2.50 (pic 1 below). They actually fit perfectly over the stock feet (pic 2), pushing on nicely (pic 3), and then popping off to go back in the bag. Gives you a slight rake/angle when in use which is nice (pic 4). In this setup you may well find a ‘naked’ 1590a would fit, I don’t think it would with just the stock feet. Cheers Si

Made a few changes to my small/‘fly board’. Off comes the CAPO and on goes the Enabler and Cog 66. All on a Pedaltrain Nano powered by a Cioks SOL: Cheers Si

I’m in this year from the perspective of spending ‘new’ money (baby daughter arrives in 2-3 weeks!!), but I’m not ruling out buying something after selling something……I’ve got a couple of ideas haha. Si

Lakland have had the HB30 body shape for around 10 years now, they were just sunburst and introduced the black colour around 3 or 4 years ago. I’d love to gig one! Si

Counterfeits are gonna counterfeit 🤷‍♂️ Si

Probably, plus a wish to try and create some kind of design branding…..but hasn’t gone well IMO 😅 Si

Finished my back-up/‘fly board’ last night: Tuner -> Fuzzdog Tall Font -> MXR Octave -> Corona Chorus -> CAPO All powered by a Cioks SOL on a Pedaltrain Nano. Sounds great, and a purposefully smaller package (less pedals tbf) than my main Noble board. Si

It genuinely boggles my mind that someone at an approval level went “yeah that’s fine, let’s run with that”. Si

Those lower horns are a swing and a miss aren’t they. Also goes to show that not everyone can design a decent looking single-cut. G-series could be interesting though, Godin vibes probably. Si

While it would end up being a little extra space, you're probably better getting an MXR M81 and a decent overdrive to sit next to it! Si

PM’d Si

I don’t suppose anyone has any of the following Davies 1510 knob colours going spare? 1x Pink 1x Transparent 1x Violet Cheers Si

Agreed, him and Liam Wilson of Dillinger Escape Plan/John Frum/Azusa/In Flames Si

Does make me wonder how long I should hold on to my 3Leaf Enabler lol….gonna be worth loads in a few years 😂. Si (It’s not for sale, sounds great!)

Hey bud, Mine is a custom shop job from Ryan at Fuzzrocious direct. Cat Tail + Clean Blend in a 1590B enclosure. When he did mine, he also built two others to the same spec, but they got snapped up pretty quick: All that to say that I’m sure Ryan would build another. The Cat Tail are a tweaked Rat pedal ‘on steroids’ with variable clipping in the Highs and Lows (the 1 & 2 controls), Diode switching, and then the standard Rat controls (plus clean blend in my case. They were previously called Rat Tails before Pro Co threw a wobbler. Probably loads of band recordings of them, but none that I know of specifically, other than I definitely know Brian Cook uses a standard (ie no clean blend) Rat/Cat Tail as an ‘always on’ for Sumac, so you can hear it in the various vids of them live (such as below). That said, he’s tuned down to low G or something, so might not give you an accurate impression of what you’d be getting with your setup haha. 50 minute set….4 songs 🤘 Si

Boss would clean up if they would just do what I say (😆) and release a OC2W (Waza) and expose that sub-only function via a double-tap or EXT footwitch out. Si

Appreciate that it's not in the spirit of the thread, but just get the MXR M81. Excellent clean preamp, just as compact as the Boss (a little more I think, as it's physically lower), additional XLR out. Done. Si

As good as he is, from what I understand, he's not against annoying a few people. Very basic maths suggests that he made upwards of $33k before costs for this months sale.......why would he bother creating more abundance or going back to supplying dealers who take 20-50 points margin? Create scarcity, drives up used prices to silly amounts, means people are easily going to sell-out a pedal at a 'very reasonable' $333 when he releases them. Still a little overpriced IMO, sounds the same as an OC-2/OC-5 or a MXR Vintage Octave (granted with a couple extra little features).......but GAS & Economics & FOMO & stuff. Si

Pleasure, glad you’re enjoying it off the bat 💪 Si

Put together a couple of pedalboards over the last couple of days: A kinda secondary ‘fly-board’ to my main board: This is somewhat in flux as I figure out the spacing and what I can manage to fit. The OC2 will likely change for an MXR Octave Deluxe, love the OC2 for recording, but for live use, the MXR is huge sounding. The Flashback has a Chorus toneprint on it, my OCD would like a Corona Chorus in there (or some other 1590a bass chorus perhaps, basically not a ‘Delay’ pedal), but it would just be chucking money after something to do exactly the same sound haha. The COG 66 will almost certainly be swapped for a Fuzz, and pretty sure I can fit a 1590B pedal there, so plenty of choice. Powered by a Cioks Sol. Second board is one for a metal project I’m trying to learn some tunes for, may as well get the sounds right to practice them to: The MXR compressor is supreme, these Studio Compressors are exactly the same as the Bass Compressor, just a different box. And the Fuzzrocious Cat Tail (with Clean Blend) is just awesome into the v1 Sansamp. Powered by a small Diego thing. I want to get a EBS 4-port power daisy chain….just because the ones here really stick out. Both are Pedaltrain Nanos. Si

Also most decent interfaces should be able to change their inputs to Line level (which will bypass much of the 'preamp circuitry'). If you preamp has a Line out, that's probably the easiest way to go. Si
