Deep Impact is EXPENSIVE, if you can find one! Markbass one sounded cool when I played one, the EHX Microsynth is a great pedal. Or go modular, Wah, Fuzz, Octave etc. Si

Sexual!! :-D How long before updated board photos? lol Si

Yes, sorry, I was a bit vague. Some effects allow you to control the amount of your clean bass signal that is mixed with the effected signal. This can work well with Dist./Overdrive/Fuzz because you sometimes lose attack and low-end. There are arguments for blending, as well as against, where people simply prefer to find a pedal that they like the sound of straight off the bat, rather than relying on having to blend in their clean sound.

[quote] [sup]im excited for MEAT[/sup] [/quote] We've decided on 1590BB enclosures, just to make progress really. Smaller might be possible, but my opinion is that it isn't worth the labour/time spent to shrink our PCB design further. Si

You're entering into a whole new world lol. The quest for the ultimate fuzz/overdriven sound is like the search for the holy grail. There's also a fairly big difference between fuzz and distortion, although some pedals do blur the line. Fuzz wise I've been having great results with m CoPilot FX Orbit, but thats quite specialist, I've got a Fuzzrocious Grey Stache on the way, but again, quite full-on. Overdrive/distortion is actually harder I think, the only pedal I've genuinely felt is perfect is my Sonic Kitchen BassBoost Preamp (made by Al Heeley on here), it's a copy/clone of the Xotic BB Preamp....so that might be a good place to start. It really is about trying as many as you can and deciding from there, it's all so dependent on your bass, amp, cabs, ear etc. Good luck Si p.s. I have a Boss Bass Overdrive for sale in the FS forum, but that's more of a blendable distortion really. Again, a good starting point perhaps.

It would be interesting to A/B them, the Boss, EHX & Joyo Si

You saying my board isn't cleverly laid out?? I've an Organizer on the way btw, will report back. I am still unsure, however, about how to spell the name. I mean obviously it's wrong (American)...but it is a noun, so should retain it's original spelling even when over here? A quandary I'm sure you'll agree. Si

That second hand Boss PH-3 is £39...!? Si

[quote] I'd be really interested if someone could do a meat box clone and incorporate a micro-thumpinator... [/quote] I suspect that might not happen, I should think Max has his Thumpinator design quite rightly safe, and I'm happy to stick with the Meatbox specific project..... it will a limited-run labour of love over a mass-produced endeavour. Buy both Si

Although this isn't Japanese, it will be a transition pedal, because it's black label but Taiwan. Still a great price on a boxed OC-2 Si -
Pre-gig bump. Cheers Si -
[quote name='phagor' timestamp='1338290708' post='1672124'] Another is to pitch shift an octaver back up an octave, to get the analog octave tone, but at the normal playing pitch instead of an octave down. This might work with the Pitch Box before the octaver, if the warbling doesn't mess up the tracking, or after the octaver. [/quote] I don't think you'd get any kind of useable tracking from placing the pitchbox before a low octave, Octave pedals generally require a nice round/bass signal to track well. You might get some cool glitch weirdness, but I'd probably pop the pitch-box after the octaver. I've just ordered an Earthquaker Devices Organizer which essentially does this, but with the potential of two up and two down at the same time! Si

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1339840107' post='1695125'] I WANT YOUR BOX OF MEAT. [/quote] Oi...join the queue Not saying too much....but there should be some box of meat style sound-boxes coming soon, for the masses.....well....a few of the masses lol Si

[quote name='wingnutkj' timestamp='1339836766' post='1695053'] Funnily enough, I was out drinking in London with some friends last night. There was a bloke in the corner of the pub who seemed to be having a bit of trouble getting his phone connected to the wi-fi, but one he got on, he settled down a bit, only twitching and making small screaming noises every so often, and at one point seemed to sing a quick burst of "If I were a rich man, sosososo". He quietened down eventually. Other than that, it was a pretty average night at the pub. Dave started talking about missing his ex-girlfriend halfway through his fifth pint, exactly on cue, then headed off to meet some new girl after his eighth. Steve turned up just after Dave's eighth pint, when he knew it was safe to talk about how much he's enjoying Dave's ex-girlfriend. Rob attempted to chat up the barmaid with little success, again. Andy's club flyer origami sculptures are getting more obscene. One thing which stilted the atmosphere (other than the odd guy in the corner) was that it was raining, kicked up some odd smells from the canal outside for the wind to waft through the door, and there seemed to be some commotion getting a narrowboat up to the next section of the canal. Which pub was it? It was the Inn Before the Lock. [/quote] You sir, are a genius Si

[quote name='TKenrick' timestamp='1339797805' post='1694763'] Finally got my board together this week (apologies for poor quality iphone pic...) [attachment=110521:IMG_0722.JPG] Signal chain is: Volume pedal > OC-2 > Sansamp > PH-3 > DD-6 > CS-3 > Whammy > Meat Box Tom [/quote] Now this board excites me, I wanna hear what you do with it! Si

All yours Nicky Si

Also PM'd, tiny bit earlier I think lol Si

Adam makes some very cool pedals, I had a custom Orbit from him couple of years ago. This sounds great from the site demo's, I'd be looking at it, but I have 3 OC-2s and an Earthquaker Organiser on the way :-| lol Good luck with the sale, someone will be very happy! Si

[url="http://www.joespedals.com/acatalog/Boss_PH-3.html"]http://www.joespedals.com/acatalog/Boss_PH-3.html[/url] Sorted I have the PH-2 and it's very cool! Si

HI all, Couple of incoming goodies, so thought I'd put this up for sale. This is my Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal, no box and some little paint nicks/speckles (see picture), but good condition overal and works perfectly fine. No velcro, bottom label intact. Colour is a slightly deeper yellow than the picture portrays. [b]SOLD[/b] No trades thanks, plenty incoming already lol [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/bossodb.jpg/"][/url] Cheers Si

These are seriously good, analogue mentality (no scrolling menues), with some digital features (can program stacked effects etc). Great sounding effects too, as only Boss know how Great price too! Si
-
Yup, Twitter is great for a few of that circle of pedal geeks, Juan, Jonathon Hischke, Aen from DwarfCraft, Ryan from Fuzzrocious etc etc Si
-
GT-10B is VERY different from the ME-50B, the former is digital based, the latter (whilst digital) is analogue based. I have the ME-50B and find it very easy to use, I hate scrolling menues and buttons on pedals lol The Line-6 range get great reviews though, M5, M9, M13 etc Si

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1339676261' post='1692464'] I had honestly not thought of that [/quote] Yeah I think we get caught up with trying to turn pedals into things they're not, we all do it. This is why most pedal-fiends go through so many of the same type of pedal, just trying to find one that sits better sonically within their sound without EQ'ing it to hell I've got an EQ in both my channels (Clean & Dirt), the clean EQ is simply to boost the 50hz, the dirt is to boost mids, but again, I'm looking to perhaps remove the EQ and simply use my comp on a slightly more extreme setting. I think a large amount of this, for me, comes from being the kind of player who plays passive basses into flat-EQ'd amps, all of which I've chosen because their basic flat sound is great. I've always thought of EQ as simple room adjustment as opposed to full-on 'tone sculturing'. Si

I have a Limiter on the out of my board, which I'm considering taking off to be honest. The noise-floor to benifit ratio isn't good enough for me. I still don't see the benifit of having a delay only channel to be honest. Delay after the loops and before the amp, then just turn on and off depending on requirement. I also feel there's a LOT of EQ'ing going on, your sound on each channel will be pointlessly EQ'd as it's then further being affected by the master EQ and then the amp EQ. Much better to find pedals in each loop that you like the sound of straight off the bat Si p.s. I just voted Insane
