  1. Raulduke -
    Thanks for the offer mate, but i'm not really after fuzziness. My 'driven' sounds are totally sorted.

    Mr Foxen -
    Again, thanks for the offer, but i already have a drivemaster, and the blue box didn't wow me with a bass

    If there are any non pedal bits anyone would like to 'put on the table', i might be tempted

    Just as a heads up, if these don't get traded soon, I already have received an offer on the VT. (I'm not trying to elicit any more, just being honest here!), and i will move into selling mode!

  2. Hi there discerning denizens of the effects marketplace!

    I am considering moving on my Tech 21 VT Bass, a Tech 21 Oxford, and a Michael Angelo Distortion by T rex



    The VT Bass (version 1) bought for £150:Looking for £100 posted in UK NOW GONE
    probably one of the most celebrated effects pedals ever created for the bass.. As you may already be aware, this pedal emulates a wide variety of Ampeg tones, from the Fliptop through the SVT, to a more modern aggressive tone.

    I have used it twice, and despite much tweaking, i have realised that the ampeg tone is not for me.
    It still has the funky tin, sticker and associated gubbins.



    Secondly, the Oxford (bought for£150): NOW GONE

    This pedal models the Orange amp sound from the 70's through to more modern stoner stuff.
    I bought this whilst trying to find the 'right' drive sound for me and to be possibly used in a a Black Sabbath tribute band.
    Again, whilst I could get a really NIB type sound, it just didn't 'do it' for me.
    Only used two or three times.



    And Finally the T Rex Michael Angelo Distortion (bought for £99).Looking for £80 posted in UK

    Essentially a tubescreamer - Sounds great for pushing a valve amp with a guitar, but no great shakes for me on bass.
    It has been sitting on the side for a while, and i would much rather see someone get some use from it



    In terms of trades, I'm looking for a Phat Phuk B in particular, but I am prepared to listen to what you guys might have to offer!

    Cheers!

  3. sub £100 it's worth trying the ibanez pd7, Ashdown Lomenzo hyperdrive mentioned above, Hardwire tube overdrive

    The MD2 lost low end in my rig, as did the Cool cat TOD.

    I appreciate it's a little over budget, but the new Markbass Bass Tube Marker retails from effectspowersupplies.com @ £110ish
    It does so many sounds, that its well and truly earnt its space on my boards for two of my bands

  4. It seems to be very common, especially whenever I sound check with someone other than my 'tame' soundman.
    The assumption of soundmen seems to be that the bass player will play only with a clean sound
    With each of my bands I have normally at least two drive sounds and possibly chorus and filters or octave

    These days if I have a soundman I'm not used to, I'll just give them my core sound and then add the other stuff when required. I always ensure my relative levels are sorted before the line/ sound check begins

  5. i have the tube marker in the same series. It sounds great, and the inherent tone is exactly the right sound for me, so if i were on the lookout for another octave, it'd definitely be on the shopping list!

    In fact, the next time i head up to Stompbox, it's on the list of bits to try.

  6. I spent some time with one not long after they were released
    The eq is very powerful, and the gate functions beautifully, however it didn't make me say wow!

    No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a sound good enough to cut through in a heavy les Paul/ Marshall mix
    Ymmv of course- it's worth a try after all
