That sounds great - would you mind pointing me in the direction of the kit or guide you used, please? Thanks.

I'm really looking forward to getting one of these. I know next to nothing about MIDI- are there any simple, cheapish 2 button switches that should work with this and help with easy preset switching, or is it a case of buying hosts and expensive units to get that side of the pedal working?

Hi all, Forgive me if this is a silly question- I am new to routers. I have gifted a Bosch 1/4 inch 1,200w plunge router. One of the things I'd like to use it for is to rout cavities using templates, mainly for amatuer guitar building. I have been told to use flush trim bits for this. However, when the router is fully plunged, the collet is level with the top of the base. The base is 20mm thick. If 20mm of the bit's shank needs to be in the collet, that's a total of 40mm shank length needed before the bearing, if the bearing is going to get clear of the base. That's before considering the thickness of a template. From what I can see, there are no/very few bits with that sort of shank length before the bearing. Am I missing something here, or are flush trim bits not compatible with my router? Thanks.

I don't think I'd ever bypass it, more likely have a preamp or amp always enabled, and switch on effects as and when. Do you not like the preamp/amp sounds into a d.i.? Cheers.

So I've been thinking about getting a Stomp. Play in functions and corporate setups mostly. Almost always go d.i. The idea was to have a tuner, pre-amp, and maybe a couple of effects there - octaver, filter - in a box easy to just grab and go, with the bonus of some fun sounds to play around with for a couple of original projects. Also, I'm in need of a portable audio interface. Not a massive effects snob, and use them fairly sparingly. Play with IEMs, so used to not having that anp-in-a-room sound on gigs, and engineers almost always provide a d.i. box, so not too fussed about no XLR. It seems like it would be ideal, but some posts about that digital sound are making me hesitate. Would it work well for this situation?

Also, I used a cheap and cheerful MM pickup from Warman which sounded fine. The cheap Wilkinson alcino V P pickup in there sounds positively great to me.

Hi @BiteTheBoxer Yeah, it worked out OK thanks- really liked the parallel and single coil modes, and it did sound like a stingray. It sounded really nice, in fact! Ultimately, though, I don't think I'm a stingray man, so I've moved the MM towards the bridge (with some shoddy hand routing) and put a P pickup in, and I really like that combo! I think the tone pot for each coil is definitely possible, although strange. I'm not the right person to ask, though! Does the volume pot come after the tone pots?

Nice! That looks great. How did you paint it? Also, just want to hop on the Warman fanclub. Am in the process of my first proper bass build, and the Warman MM humbucker I've used does the job nicely!

That looks absolutely lovely! Did you finish it yourself? What is the finish/wood? And how did you cut the vinyl so accurately?! Sorry for the questions, it's just I immediately want to go and out together a p just like that!

Thank you- so many good suggestions! I've managed to find a used Okto Noijs. Love an octaver too, so excited to try it. Thanks @Quatschmacher In terms of the 808, I've been using a subby octave down in practice and that actually sounds good. Locked in with the bass drum it kinda gives that sub-blowing effect with a big attack.

Yes- thank you for the information! I missed the first message.

Hi all, Just a quick question. Got some gigs coming up with a number of tunes with 808 style basslines. Would the DOD Meatbox get me in a close enough ballpark. It doesn't need to be absolutely perfect. There will be big subs and pa support, and we're using IEMs, so I don't need to worry about blowing up any backline! Also, on an unrelated note - and I imagine this must have been asked a few times - does a cheaper and available alternative to the low gain fuzz of the Doom 2 exist? Cheers.
