I'm wanting to downsize a little from my Ampeg 6x10 to a fairly decent 4x10 round the £500 Mk,this has caught my interest.......has anyone tried it with a valve head for rock type music? ( even better an svt cl head) There isn't any shops to try down my way,Any thoughts?Cheers

[attachment=213392:IMG_20160227_090656.jpg] I'm in punk sounding heaven with this little board :-) the sparkle into the b3k is sublime. I took a chance on the nobles and im very happy with it, no low end loss and it can get super crunchy.

It's all very optimistic to be fair :-D........I'm determined to get it working,I'll post a pic in a month or 2 ;-)

I've been over the wiring of the footwitch and using a daughter board for connecting it all appears correct? When I first wired it up I didn't use a daughter board and I hadn't placed a CLR before the Led .......it went pop,could that maybe of damaged the footswitch?

Gonna sound like a spaz here.........which 1s are the Jfets? Also how do you know which way to turn the caps for right polarity? I literally copied the parts list and photo shown in the ginger docs in this link.not fully clued up yet :-( I'm sure it's nothing major as I can notice the knobs working ( just no bass sounds) .... There is also no bass at all when effect is bypassed. http://www.musikding.de/ROG-Ginger-Ampsim-kit Thanks guys :-)

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1455740968' post='2982062'] The Ginger is also on "ze list"... As is the Fairfield Barbershop (should have most of the bits for it lying around!). Looking forward to your Ginger pics. Did you use the board from Musikding? [/quote] i used Musikding yes, great prices :-) I do think i might have bitten to much off doing the Ginger as a first build project though :-( I have power etc (Led, switch n jacks work) but all i get is horrid static sounds? volume and gain work but no sounds ,just static buzz?. ive checked the components to the list/diagram i have and solder joints ......... all appear good (to me that is)?? doing my nut in a bit tbh ...........any ideas,anyone done the ginger? cheers[attachment=212773:IMG_20160219_194722.jpg][attachment=212774:IMG_20160219_194727.jpg][attachment=212775:IMG_20160219_195723.jpg]

ahhh I thought that was what their "juicy blue" overdrive was based on . Iv'e just started my first build (ROG ginger)....soldering the board was not as hard as i thought ,quite therapeutic ....i can understand getting the bug :-). different story with wiring the footswitch ,jacks, power and led :-D , There was no diagrams for that part so i winged it a little (n balls'd it up) i didn't put a resistor to the LED. gave up and ordered an easy connector board for the footswitch. pics soon.

I've been quite interested in the Le bass,what's the cab sim sound like that you don't like Dan ?

https://youtu.be/NB6GerXHWjI there is a video up now.it sounds good,but so much going on in such a small box makes me nervous about things going wrong?

Ala tubescreamer f me :-)

Was it a standard or mod monkey? I preferred the standard myself .I found the best out of that pedal is the treble full and the bass just slightly off full ,gain at 10 and volume to suit......in a valve amp them settings were fantastic

I've just sold Ben a bass soul food,easy peasy trade an total gent to deal with.would happily buy,sell or trade with him again in the future :-)

Sold a bad monkey to Paul, absolute pleasure to deal with and would be more than happy to trade with him again :-)

The visuals of that looking glass look awsome , on my radar since NAMM now ( gaaasss) I didn't order the nobels after hearing construction/reliability issues..... I have the new sparkle drive mod inbound now ,it seems to be all I want from a tube screamer :-)

I recently purchased a pedaltrain mini from Julian........ Fantastic guy to trade with. Deal with confidence ,i would happily do so again :-)

I just want an extra bite kinda boost whats the verdict on these? (won't be using this in the heavy drive )

Go to Tom ,Dood (cog effects ) ..........He really is the man with a plan :-)

I sold a bass to Lozz......./... what can i say ,a true gent to deal with. No worries here folks.

Ive had a few monkeys (mod'd and stock ) thought they were ok.also had the Cm2 ,although it sounded great i had a real problem with the volume knob......... using it as a dirty stomp i wanted the volume slightly louder than my clean , at a slight turn the knob goes from to quite to too loud ( was why i sold it) Having gone through a few tubescreamer variants theNobel ODR-1 is really peaking my interest, John K (the highly regarded overdrive king ) over on talkbass is very very impressed with them (cheap as well £59 :-) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6TWdIEUZGE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=a6TWdIEUZGE[/url] ill be getting one on the weekend if anyone wants any feedback?
