I’m not sure there are any, I will try and do an A/B at some point with it and the Noble (and the Regal on the HX Stomp too). Honestly though, I never really thought many videos did the Noble justice, it’s a ‘feel’ thing in the room, so I think if I did a video, it would purely compare the three pedals, and not include a straight/‘clean’ bass tone. Si

It’s a paired down Noble basically, same circuit & tone stack, but both outputs share a tube (Noble XLR and 1/4” output have their own tubes, ie you can remove one and the other output still works), whereas the 1/4” and DI on the NP share the tube. The Noble also has some additional circuitry on the 1/4” output which reduces the impedance a little, but more treble extension on the Noble as a result. Other than that (and them being different brand tubes), they’re going for the same vibe. Obviously the other difference being the Nobles pedal power outputs. Yeah this is the second run of the Neptunium I think, and possibly the last from what I’ve heard. Few left on the website, almost tempted to get another…..maybe. The MXR is great, a solid DI pedal, lots for the money, but a semi-Noble in largely the same footprint as the MXR is a no-brainer for that board. Si

As-new Novation AFX Station. Only a relatively low number of these were made as they were a limited run, they’re essentially a Bass Station 2 with an Aphex Twin inspired aesthetic. Because of the visual redesign, it includes some additional screen-print on some of the controls that relate to the AFX firmware update released for BS2. Anyway, you can read more about the standard BS2 here: https://novationmusic.com/products/bass-station-ii Boxed with everything it came with new, barely been used at all, still had the screen protector as shown in the last photo. Pickup/meet-up in/near High Wycombe, or postage at your expense. £400 No trades. Cheers Si-

Had this arrive last week. A very close approximation of a Noble (which I have on my main board) for my smaller ‘fly board’: Si

Long-shot bump Si

I bought this for a project that never took off, so it has sat largely unplayed, which is a shame as it’s a lot of bass for the money. This is one for those who like to seriously down-tune. Pretty rare, not least that it’s a 35” 4 string. Niche & Awesome lol. It’s currently strung/tuned in Drop B. Features: - Neck-thru-body construction - 35” scale - Mahogany body - 5-piece maple & walnut neck - Ebony fingerboard - Anniversary inlay - EMG 35-DC/P4 active pickups - Volume & balance controls - EMG B64 active EQ - Black hardware - Grover tuners - ESP BB-604 bridge - 24 XJ frets I’ll get a weight asap but it’s pretty decent in my view. It’s in decent condition, but with it being a satin/matte type finish, there is some play-wear and bumps/dings as you’d expect, including some areas that have ‘glossed-up’ through use. I’ve tried to capture any imperfections below. Comes with a very simple gig bag, and as such would prefer collection/meet-up. I’m in High Wycombe. £375 - Trades and part-exs welcome. What you got? I’d be interested in: - Cioks DC7 + cash to me - Lakland Hollowbody + cash to you. - 2x Gigrig isolators + cash to me But try me on other things too, you never know. Cheers Si Cheers Si- 1 reply

Standard on/off relay bypass ☺️ Si

It’s more that I have a pedal with a RB that needs a little tweaking by someone in the know. Si

Does anyone have any experience with programming relay bypasses? Cheets Si

So I’ll put this thread to bed, after playing about with placement, buffer & powering options, the Heaby, as good as it sounds, was still thumping when switched. It would resolve when switched a few times, discharging that DC build up it seems, but then would build up again after a few minutes, which is a non-starter for me. Put my Fuzzdog Green Russian Fuzz back on the board and its switch is always super quiet, only a very mild click when switched. So yeah, done and done 🙂 Cheers Si
-
Thanks, I’ll take a look. Si
-
Ah yeah thanks, I’d almost certainly just swap the fuzz, as the pedal in question is only on loan to me currently, so we’ll see 🙂 Cheers Si

TL;DR - Can daisy-chaining power increase switch pop intensity? So, I have the following board: It’s a new build really, and I took it out on a gig last night to test it (haven’t had a chance to test at home, new baby and all that). However, the Heaby fuzz was unusable because of the significant switch pop that was exploding through my speakers if I clicked it on. Now I don’t necessarily think that it’s the Heaby at fault here, I think it might be how I’m powering the board, and wanted to get others advice… …The whole board is being powered by a Cioks DC5, with each pedal receiving 100mA of power, although the following 3 pedals are receiving their 100mA daisy-chained from a single 300mA port: Heaby Russian Fuzz TC Chorus COG 66 Mini So…thoughts? - Should I be changing which pedals are in the 3-way daisy? The Chorus needs 68mA, having an effect on the Fuzz perhaps? - Should I ditch the single 3-way daisy in favor of 2x power splitters? (Ie 4 pedals share 2 ports rather than 3 pedals sharing 1). - Should I suck up getting a DC7 instead? Perhaps none of the above is having an effect on this Heaby switch pop? None of the other pedals were popping, and I swapped the board out for my main one on the gig, which has a COG Fuzz on it at equally high gain…nowhere near as significant a pop. Ramble over, cheers!

Looking forward to getting this on my secondary ‘fly’ board, essentially doing a similar job as the Noble on my main board (ie Preamp/DI at the end of the chain): Si

These are great, even more gnarley than the originals…and that’s saying something! Si- 1 reply

Picked this up recently and, while it’s awesome, it’s not quite the right sound for the application I have in mind. Comes in original box. Product info: https://www.darkglass.com/creation/microtubes-b7k-ultra/ Just to note, this is the latest v2, which includes Aux in, headphone out, and a switchable cab sim on the DI out. The loaded IR is currently a 2x12. £220 inc UK postage. Try me with trades/part ex’s, I’d be particularly interested in a Cioks DC7. Cheers Si- 1 reply

They’d be easier to get about huh 😂 Si

I’m selling one in the classifieds…because I have 3 haha (kinda 4 actually, but the 4th is a P/J). Si

I just discovered a band called Green Druid (which I’m assuming is a play on Orange Goblin). Really enjoying this album: Si

I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure they were all Ash by this point, could be wrong though. Si -
Bit of a feeler, but needs must somewhat. I may withdraw though. 1978 Precision bass in a nicely aged Olympic White: - Original finish throughout - Original pickup & pots - Original scratchplate - Original hardware other than knobs, which are RI replacements - Original thumbrest is included - Pickup ashtray cover is missing. - B width neck - 9.5lbs - Lovely dark rosewood board - Tight neck pocket - Simple gig bag included or you can take a Reunion Blues gigbag for an extra £50 I’d prefer collection/meet-up if at all possible. Lovely bass, in decent condition for the age, sounds awesome and is a good weight for the era. Only interested in an MXR M81 Preamp as a part-ex. Ignore the saddles and janky 80’s piezo here, original saddles are fitted now. Cheers Si
