On the list to try out but no budget for pedals these next few months. Trying to off load stuff too.

@Osiris I’ve told you before how good these can sound on bass and Ander is a decent chap. You guys should talk. I’m a big fan of a Tx in a pedal and have to my shame 4 units on my board just now with tx’s in - 2 of hem are just transformers in a pedal 🫢😀

I’d love have my old DJ4 back. Sold it many years ago for a BG4. Had a tort and black scratch plate and sounded great with flats. Good luck - someone is getting a cracker!

I’ve been using a Basswitch for about 10 yrs. if you only run a couple of fx it’s super useful. There’s a point where it can be a bit a bit redundant if you’ve got too much going on but managing a couple of fx into both loops is where it really shines. I’ve been enjoying an always on compressor and very light drive in the serial loop (always on) and using the switchable loop (which doubles as a boost) to push some other things a little harder. The eq is super clean and really useful too.

No phantom power and the a/b will either give a single instrument the option of EQ bypassed or eq engaged - having two instruments plugged in one will not have access to the eq the other will (example having an active bass into the eq bypassed channel and the passive bass into the EQ channel). That’s likely obvious 😀 all other features are ‘actively on’ so if you have a compressor in the always on loop it remains in the path irrespective of channel A or B. You can’t have two separate signals ‘programmed’ to different outputs.

I nabbed the 110 version about 10 yrs ago… never let me down, sounds great and as said basically an SWR in the same way the new rumble series are basically Genz Benz amp. I’d imagine many gigs could be well serviced with this as a stage monitor.

Pedals added SGFX Beta £95 *sold* Old school in a box pedal. Kinda addictive and you won’t want to turn it off. Works as a ‘clean preamp’ with the gain rolled off but you can definitely hear the mojo and as the gain increases so does the stank! Uh!! Comes with original box. TRex Bass Juice removed I really like this as a low gain always on sound but it can get wild and hairy and features a boost to go from od to full on filth! Another tough call as the tone, mix and gain all work together to really fine tune and dial in your tone with minimal fuss. I think it excelled with a jazz bass tone up full, a smidge of gain and mix about 0900. Balsa I’ve changed the board up and the VMT just edges it for my always in pedal and it works well with the other units on my board. Original box included. Pictures of both to follow - likely this afternoon.

Class isn’t it!

Sorry to hear that as I know you’ve put a lot of work into getting things just so. It’s all quality gear so it shouldn’t take too long to shift.

What happened? 😀 A cull already

Yup nostalgia in a box right there!

Bass the World reviewed this model just the other day. Sounded great!

Your ad under sells the many features of this pre. It’s a very versatile unit. I’ve had one for about 10 yrs maybe? It’s the longest lasting piece of kit I own!
