He uses the Peavey and an Acoustic 450, but THAT sound doesn't come from the Acoustic. John K's example shows that off: [url="http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg"]http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/360preamp/360_pedal-01-2.jpg[/url] I think it must come from a combination of the two, but I've never heard the Peavey so I'd very much like to!...

Aye! I think the distortion that comes from his Peavey F-800B is definitely unique as well, I'd be very intrigued if anyone ever put that preamp into a pedal format!...

Last one! This has to be included, purely for the chorus which is still my favourite dirty bass sound ever! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=totYCysea4w[/size]

Loving this one as well at the moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc6zXSdYXm8

Thanks guys! I've contacted Spector customer service, so I'll see what they say...

Good stuff :-) He'll sort you out mate!

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1389279552' post='2332275'] I'm all about stacking 2-3 drive pedals to get the right character.[/quote] Stacking is great, though you'd probably need an ISP Decimator or some sort of noise clamp in there if you do more than two (especially high gain), or they'll scream like a banshee!

Another vote for the COG Knightfall, and I'm sure Tom could do something with diode selection (like the Knightfall 66) that would give you the gain range you desire! Also, have you ever tried an OCD or Fizzrocious Oh See Demon? Great sounding overdrives that are bright, modern, and can get highly saturated if you desire...

Does anyone know!? Just like the ones on this: [url="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/superdick2112/newusabridge004_zpsa316c310.jpg"]http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll276/superdick2112/newusabridge004_zpsa316c310.jpg[/url] Two have fallen off now, and I got what I thought were replacements off AllParts but they're different and don't fit! Any help will be much appreciated! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Al[/size]

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1389079141' post='2329562'] Diago pedal power £60 ish and never let me down [/quote] Same here! There's nothing else as good as the Diago for the price (unless you can find a johnny shredfreak psu anywhere!)...

Thanks, that's put my mind at rest! Darth Vader's my dad, so I should be fine on the other count too! :-)

So I've been messing around a bit with the TK421 that I got back from Tom (COG). Have replaced the op-amp with an LM308N, which went in fine, but I had a bit of a job getting the 30pf compensation capacitor (ceramic) in there... It's now in the socket securely, but a bit of the ceramic coating flaked off at the top of the legs/below the round bit when I was putting it in! I assume this is ok, and will not affect the performance of the cap, but I just wanted to check with you guys! Can provide pics of necessary, but if anyone in the know could let me know, that'd be great! Cheers, Al

[quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1388254549' post='2320054'] Catalinbread SFT sounds beautifully expressive in a vintagey way but is a bit bass-light [/quote] What!?...Have you been adjusting that "Bass" knob at all!? I find that if I turn that past noon I'm in danger of caving the roof in!...Definitely find it can add more lows than my clean signal, have you been using the old or new version? The phase inversion will only be a problem if you run this in parallel, and the SFT does NOT need to be run in parellel! I'm currently going for SFT and COG Darklighter for low/medium overdrive. The Darklighter sounds a lot like my old Fulltone Bass drive did, but with lows still intact! SFT is brilliantly dynamic, mainly used for hammering out RATM riffs at sound check! B3K does high-gain overdrive, I agree that it can get a bit caricaturesque like this but that's what I love about it! Fuzz-wise I'm with Gaz all the way, it's a Wren & Cuff Tall Font Russian for me! Ridiculous bass and low-mids out of that thing. Distortion-wise I'm using the COG TK-421x. Recently stuck an LM308 op amp in there, and with Low pass filtered-clean blend and asymmetric LEDs it absolutely kills!

I'm pretty sure it'll be very closely based on the current (guitar) whammy 5 though. Tried one of those and thought it was great, and would've replaced my Whammy 1 with it if it had fitted on my board!... At least it doesn't have that awful input gain that the original bass whammy had, which is a huge improvement in itself!

Oooooh, what does it do!? And is that image from Metal Gear Solid!? [size=4] [/size]

I don't own a hat, but if Akai ever reissue the Deep Impact I'll buy a hat just to eat it.

Oh man, this is great news! It'll be true bypass, with polyphony, and the 5th-octave harmony setting. A Tool lover's dream, and bad news for anyone who's trying to flog one of the original ones on eBay for £400! :-)

Just got my Signor Gatto back from Tom, after a bit of pimping... All I can say is GOOD LORD!! It's massive-sounding! So pleased :-) And now for the technical details...Tom has applied the mods for his TK-421X, meaning that the "ratty" side of the pedal now sports a clean blend knob, along with a Low Pass Filter knob for the clean signal. This means that the screaming rat gain can now be mixed in with a filtered clean tone for serious low end! I also asked Tom to remove the silicon diodes, and put a three-way switch in to select between LEDs, asymmetric LEDs and no diodes (you'd love this Si! ;-)). Tried it through my Mesa tonight and fell in love!...If the missus hadn't dragged me out tonight, I'd still be playing it! :-D Good work Mr Tom!

Just replace it. I've had three Black Russian Muffs before (one version 7 and two version 8s btw!), and two of them literally fell apart. Pretty much all of the clones I tried sounded better anyway!... Get a COG Tarkin! Much better than the Black Russian Muffs, as good as the W&C TFR and a lot cheaper than getting one imported! If my TFR every breaks, I'll definitely replace it with a Tarkin.

Get this Fredrics fuzz http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223868-boss-ls-2-and-frederics-green-russian-fuzz/page__hl__fredric__fromsearch__1 and a Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Tube Overdrive (also dirt cheap), and you'll get pretty close to Chris' Animato and Russian muff tone. Maybe buy a Boss LS-2 too, so you can stack the dirt/blend with clean.
