    Hey Bruce! I’ll pm you just reread this and I think I mistook what the connectors looked like. It was an early start this morning after a long day at work!
  2. krispn
    So I recently nabbed a fender LVL8 power bank and I have used all 8 power connectors. They look pretty standard and I might want add a pedal or two to the board. My query is can you buy a daisy chain type connector which fit’s directly into the power bank? I might have to settle for a boss one and power additional units from the 9v out of my Boss TU-3 which is grand but ideally I could find something which could tun directly from the LVL8. Im not sure if the likes of Voodoo Labs use the same connectors and if they do such a connector. 3 in line would be plenty. Suggestions welcome!

    I think the fender ‘64 which are found in the flea signature bass are killer. 60’s so darker thanks 70’s set but man what a set of pick ups. If you can find some worth a try. Bart’s Classic Bass are killer too. I put them in a HB J bass and they elevated the sound. Model J’s do a darker nearly verging on p bass thing and are great too. I’ve experience with all these pick ups I’ve mentioned. Any of them would do what you’re asking.

    Ordered a second. Quality stuff!

    I’d say with a certain amount of confidence the funk circuit is the most accessible way to enhance a finger style or slap style with one tone knob and a stomp switch.

    I have a funkulator. It’s top notch!

    Warm Audio embracing their inspiration and proudly letting everyone including Mike Fuller know they don’t give a flying fulltone!

    I have to admit I’m intrigued too. I’ve read @Baloney Balderdashposts previously about signal chain and effects. It seems a lot of thought and effort has gone into the choice and placement of pedals. I’m just interested as I’ve often read threads where people have 10-15 or more pedals and I’m fascinated to know what sound such a board can create.

    Half the reason we buy all this stuff is we read about it on forums or watch you tube and think we should have the next best thing… That aside we do change tastes too. I love my p bass but on a real jazz bass thing just now and have been playing jazzes exclusively for at least 6-8 months. Plugged in the p bass in the other night as I wanted to change the foam under the pick ups and tweak the heights to balance output between it and the jazz bass and did I not instantly play the bass bass for the next three days as much as I could 😀 Sometimes ‘different’ from what we’ve grown accustomed to is enough to make us think it’s the new best thing ever and make us rethink our rig. How many folk have pulled out an old dusty pedal only to have an epiphany moment that it should never have left the board but in six months time the one we took off the board will suddenly sound amazing again. TL:DR We’re fickle.😀

    Good to know others have positive experiences. The right angled xlr worh selectable ‘orientation’ is a such a simple yet desirable service!

    This a great fuzz. I really like how it sounds and you’d be hard pressed to get a better one especially with how DG do the clean blend feature. I got one recently and while its a lot of fun on its own it’s killer with an octave!

    Just had a very pleasant conversation via email with Joe at designacable and bought one of his right angled xlr-1/4” cables for my pedal board needs. Helpful and interested Joe went off and did some deep digging in relation to a query I had about one of his products and was checking manuals of the gear I mentioned to check compatibility and making sure I was getting the product I needed. I had gone off and did the same thing once I had a break at work but it’s testament to the guy that he took it upon himself to do the leg work. Cable is due this week and I look forward to rigging things up. It’ll help keep the pedal board tidy and give me back a little bit more space on my board. https://www.designacable.com

    My ampless set up is: Comp>preamp DI out>Element Sounds great!
  14. krispn
    Latest iteration. I’ve never been unhappy with previous builds but it’s always nice to get the grubby mitts on new stuff. This board does feel pretty tight though. I may switch the AO with a different drive but that’s more folly than not being happy. Hidden underneath are two Lightening Boy Audio LBA2020s passive transformers which are after the Simone (I think) and a thumpinator which is last in the chain going to the amp. The signal chain is… tuner>comp>Beta>Simone>LBA’s>Funkulator>AO>Fuzz>Thump The DI signal is tuner>comp>LBA’s>Beta>Simone>Element. No additional gain is in the DI chain

    Top man and generous offer.
  16. krispn
    Yeah they have a couple of different ‘voicing’
  17. krispn
    Do you know the spec?
  18. krispn
    It’s a killer box and I maybe mentioned already a great studio tool - home studio or pro. The way the transformer can colour a kick drum or snare or drive some overheads. I know so much can be done in the box but getting that source signal right is a nice skill to have. Im gonna pop the colour box back on my board tomorrow (gigging tonight) and hear how it’s sounds after some small board changes the other week. I already have some transformers (two in line plus one on my di out!) so I’m already getting that mojo.

    You know that feeling when you list pedals then take a bunch of them on your next gig and love what each one does for different songs/tones. 🫨

    some questions please. What’s your rig/bass (I’m not bothered about strings but if that’s integral please included info) What sound issue did you have to land on your eq settings. When you say parametric do you mean semi parametric. If you’re cutting -12 does that mean clock face -12 or minus 12dB? I normally leave the eq flat on my bass and the preamp pedal too but I think I’m doing it wrong. When you say you leave the stage and travel upwards of 100ft is that a vertical trajectory or do you walk away from the stage? Why do you commute so far from the stage and does that help you hear the sound you’ve dialled in with the mix? For context what sort of music do you play what size of venues. If I walked 100ft form the stage I’d be in a canal surrounded by youths causing annoyance and I don’t think my wireless pack is watertight. I look forward to your insight and advice for my tone.

    If you’re the fence these are fantastic preamps. The range you get from the drive and sense control alone are fantastic and they’re ‘notched’ pots so very easy to recall settings. The EQ is great set at noon and does the right amount of cut/boost with a nice wee gain bump too so it’s very fun to play with. I honestly don’t know why this doesn’t get as much or more kudos than the noble. Sure the noble sounds good but Simone is a far more versatile unit and the DI out is fantastic. I got compliments for a sound engineer the other week. After our second set she’s asked what I was doing with my pedals. I thought she was needing me to change something. No she told me it was the best bass sound she’d heard in that room ever- she the house engineer for that venue. Di out into element to the desk she basically said the bass needed nothing done to if at the desk. It was just “there”! I played the third set like a boss after that compliment!

    I used a TH preamp pedal as a drive unit and really liked it. Using the info from that post really opened up my understanding of how to set it up.
  23. krispn
    Check out the first post… Yyou might have seen this before and it may apply to the amp too. Be good to hear back if it works…
  24. krispn
    Where did you find one?
  25. krispn
    I’m selling a fender 800Pro head which has a massive clean power section. If you’re not too concerned about weight. (14kg) it’s got all the clean power you could want. The eq can be switched in or out and it’ll take the Monique via fx loop in. It’s class A/B I believe and has large toroidal transformers hence the weight and unrelenting power and immediacy. I’ve linked the manual below. Alternatively if you can find the Fender power amp only MB1200 they’re equally as impressive. I used one with a DB680 pre amp and was so impressed with the power section bought the two fender amps which incorporated that same power section, the 800Pro and the TB600. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/622322/Fender-800-Pro.html#product-800 Pro
