  1. Ooh, thanks, hadn't seen that! Mighty interested in the NI one there. I'll see how my funds are looking
  2. I own a Tascam US-122 at the moment, and while it works fairly well, I'd like to upgrade. My computer has decent specs and my monitors are fairly good for what I need. But the Tascam is letting me down I think. I picked it up for about £30 I think, so I can't really complain, but it has some problems. I can't shut down or restart the computer while the Tascam is plugged in. If I attempt that, then the computer gets stuck at the 'windows is shutting down, do not turn off your computer screen' for all eternity. Not a massive issue as long as I unplug it and plug it back in when needed, but still - I shouldn't have to be doing that, surely? Also, it will sometimes just cause my PC to BSOD at random times. Changing my audio drivers seemed to fix that a bit, but again, I don't really trust it. Researching the unit online throws up numerous results for people having the same problems, as well as a popping/clicking while working with audio in a DAW, which I have also experienced. Other than that though, I'm pretty happy with the features it has, and I'd be more than happy to replace it with something that had the same features, just with better reliability. So I'm after the following... USB powered 2 XLR / 1/4" inputs MIDI I/O Internal direct monitoring Headphone out RCA line outs (my monitors are RCA only) Can be left plugged in permanently! And around the £100 mark? I'm happy to go used. Cheers
  3. M9 sold and posted I'll update the first post with a bit more info and new pictures when I get a minute as well.

    Hives solo bit

    Yeah, my GT200 nails that sound with a Precision and a pick, with the gain cranked up. So I guess something like the VT bass should do it well, from what I've heard. The sound is about the saturation, so if you get the right OD, you shouldn't need a blend, as dannybuoy says.
  5. Yeah, it was active for a very short while, but was passive by the time I got my Matamp.
  6. [quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1201812' date='Apr 16 2011, 01:53 PM']That is weird, Matamp is most stoner/doom players amp of choice so I'm surprised it didn't cope with de-tuning.[/quote] Agree. [quote]Finbars 7 string is active.[/quote] Disagree. Though I've heard active basses through it that do sound good. Some basses just don't go with some amps I suppose.
  7. Did you try both inputs out? Handles my low B fine, and my DGCF precision sounds epic through it.
  8. Unfortunately, they're my wire cutters I brought from home G. No idea where yours are :/ For the moment, neither Ernie Ball. But possibly both. I'll have to see.
  9. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1185453' date='Apr 2 2011, 12:28 AM']Basically, I've always been advised power conditioners do you no actual favours except being a sort of sacrificial item that can stop your amp being exploded.[/quote] I always understood the same, but in terms of using them here. I've heard people say they're much more useful in places like the US etc. It's all a bit of an unexplored avenue for me really though. I have a surge protected 4-way >.>

  11. Selling my whole pedalboard pretty much. Again. Due to me rearranging my rig quite heavily, I've got a few things up for sale. Might regret this, but I'm definitely changing the way I'm using effects and I need to raise some money to fund future rig plans, so maybe there'll be something here somebody wants SOrry the photos are so bad. I'm no photographer at the best of times, but I'm only using a Sony Ericsson K700i for photos still! [b]Monacor MMX-4 4 channel mixer[/b] - I bought this off Mr Foxen I think? Quite a while ago. Again, never ended using it. Simple 4 channel mixer, using 1/4" jacks. Use your imagination for applications Just selling for what I bought it for. [b]£12[/b] [b]Loop Master true bypass strip[/b] - This is really well built, and served me well in a previous pedalboard setup. I no longer have the sheer volume of pedals that made this useful though, so I'll see if anyone wants it! It has 6 loops in it, but differs in function from a traditional true bypass strip slightly. Only the highest numbered loop will be active, regardless of how many of the loops are engaged. So if you have Loop 4 engaged, and switch on Loop 6, then you will only hear the sounds of the pedals in Loop 6. If you switch off Loop 6, you will return to Loop 4. Unless you switched on Loop 5 while Loop 6 was active, in which case you will revert to Loop 5 as the next highest active loop. So it can be used as a kind of 'pre-select' function, especially with the bypass switch. Does that make sense? I find it hard to explain! It's more for switching between sounds made up of multiple pedal combos than for putting single pedals in loops to take them out of your signal path. A loop can also be left with nothing in it, for use as a mute switch, or a tuner can be inserted for a tuner mute. The final switch is a Bypass switch. The LEDs are all different colours, and are powered by 9v daisychain. No idea what to charge for this frankly, buy I'm going to stick in a £70 tag for now. Might reconsider this! Everything is in what I would consider pretty great condition unless otherwise noted. At most, there might be a couple of minor paint scratches or dings or a tiny bit of cosmetic oxidisation on switches - these are (mostly) gigged pedals and are in full working order. Most but not all of these pedals have velcro attached, but it can be removed. Where screw in feet have been removed, I'll include them in the sale too These prices are all postage inclusive, and they're all firm. I'm not looking to barter. Payment through bank transfer or cash on collection (Sheffield). No paypal or cheques please. There's a possibility I'll be letting go of an ISP Decimator G-string and an Ernie Ball Vp-Jr too, just as a heads up.
  12. Want your LPF pretty hard, but I can't really afford it right now. There'll be plenty of people on here that will want it though, I'm certain. Can't see it lasting long Think someone was looking for one in the Items Wanted section too?

  14. My Matamp (and every valve amp I've used/played) has a different sound to a modern hi-fi sounding amp, but it definitely has enough bottom. Way too much for me actually.

    If he 'tidies' too much stuff, then you can mini pillar drill all his new cymbals ^_^

    DIY Effects

    Might be worth investing in a small pillar drill G? I'm sure you can get ones that are pretty much table top ones and you can move them about? Then you can drill to your heart's content, and charge people to drill their enclosures too

    Line 6 M5

    I'm just not sure I see the point in this one.
  18. I'll have a think about the strategy and get back to you ste! Did matamp ever finish working on the GT200 standalone pre, out of interest? You seem to be in the know about these kinds of things ;p
  19. Do fancy a Matamp one. Quite a lot actually. I just know I won't be able to afford it! I'll keep my ear to the ground
