  1. Tell you what that is a magnificent tolex on those cabs!
  2. I run a EBS Valve Drive in front of my solid state amp and it does a magnificent job of making it sound right valve-y. The VD (fnarrp) can be voiced as more modern or vintage via the footswitch so you can go full on jack Bruce or keep it more in check on the modern setting. I've used it as an 'always on' and then complimented it with another drive (Aguilar THDI) basically using the two gain stages very effectively. You can get a proper big drive sound this way which doesn't have to be heavy metal crushing.
  3. I’ll keep it for now but if I do downsize I’ll give you a shout 👍🏽
  4. You'll notice a strip of velcro on the Cali where I had the HPF/LPF sitting on it to save space on my previous smaller pedal board. Easily removed!
  5. I stopped selling gentlemen ages ago following a stern warning from the mods
  6. Noble tentatively on hold.
  7. For Sale only Cali76TX - £450 boxed Reissued recently by Origin due to demand and now selling for £550 new from Origin (are they still available?). This has Origins own 'Iron Core' TX which has more b*lls than the Lundhal which is a cleaner, more linear transformer. Broughton HPF/LPF - £145 Sold Noble DI - £800 Sold Aguilar Tone Hammer DI - £110 no box Sold EBS Valve Drive DI - £150 Sold Alien Audio Tidal Wave Pre Amp - £70 Sold I'm keeping the pedal board for now as I may not shift everything and I may replace one or two of these with alternatives.
  8. I bought one from Josh direct a few years ago and the taxes, import charges etc do add up - I think shipping is a flat rate of $40 or $50 at least! Plus I don't think he has any for sale just now. If you don't agree with the price DM the seller or walk away. Folks choose what to sell their gear for and if the market is slow they will adjust accordingly.
  9. Yup hence the experimenting with lots of cabs - much fun!
  10. 👍🏽
  11. And I’m a very reasonable half way meet up being in Edinburgh. If I weren’t about to put a bid in on a house who knows unless you fancy some gear in cash and trade scenario
  12. I’ve enjoyed experimenting in the past with a 115 and 410 but running the lows into the 410’s to keep them ‘tight’ and running the highs to the 115 to soften the highs. My old Eden power amp has a tone control on each channel as well so I could further monkey with the tone going to each cab. Might be counter intuitive to your needs if you’re after big subby lows but if you have access to the gear worth an experiment. In my old practice room we had heaps of speakers to try our- I actually shared it with a fellow bc’er!
  13. might be worth a listen
  14. ENABLER!!!!
  15. I'd love to try this out. Something about 100w just pushing those power valves to get 'that' sound! A third amp would be overkill...wouldn't it?
  16. Bass Soul Food might give you what you’re after. There’s varying opinion with them but you can nab one used pretty cheap and it does really need to be heard in a band mix as it could sound a bit middy and ugly on its own. That’s a fair point if I say so myself make sure and demo the pedal with your band. All too often folk on forums especially the TB crowd are buying and flipping gear within days having not tried them in context with their bands. Very important and not to be overlooked!
  17. I was gonna say the same normally with finger style I’m only hitting about 5-10dB but it’s not a noticeable compression but it will catch things if I get overly thumb-y. The beauty of a comp which has metering and enough controls to dial in what you want.
  18. http://www.ovnilab.com You’ll find out all you need to know with reviews, explanations etc. It’s the one guy doing all the reviews so you get consistency with the reviews and comparisons.Definitely worth a look, read a few reviews of pedals which catch your eye or might be available in the FS section.
  19. It’s one of those techniques, folk will know you’re doing it** it’s just what you prefer to hear. Theirs school p bass slap sound which keeps the chunk or the Marcus type sound with the active bass/treble boosted on a twin pick up bass. **in as much as the crowd pay attention to anything... apart from that one guy up the front shouting “Slappda bass” whilst playing air slap bass that would put Alan Partridge to shame.
  20. Do you still have the Stella comp -I’d say that must be a candidate for compact, unobtrusive great sounding comp if the review was anything to go by? @Beedster you just missed a dbx160 rack but they might be a decent option as a lot of the more recent pedals to market such as the keeley and Stella are based off the dbx comp.
