munkonthehill Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Get one of these if you have the chance..... I was holding out for a pedal that will do valve and O/D soundings that has the DI incase I need it. When this came up for sale I jumped at it. I use it at every rehearsal and any stage time I get. I couldnt imagine not having it at hand now.

Clarky Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks Rich but the Valvedrive is a bit bigger than what I was looking for - looking for a smallish footprint pedal that pops in a gigbag pockets alongside cables etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichF Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 fair enough, that's the only reason I sold the VT2. The search continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 [quote name='KK Jale' timestamp='1324137427' post='1471206'] Have you heard of the Made By Mike SFT clone? He might be able to do a custom w/DI. I've never tried one, but I'd be interested to hear any reports... [/quote] I've just dropped him an email, will see what he says about feasibility/cost. Thx for tip-off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) You're welcome. Another schematic basis for a DI mod to run by him might be the OCL/Runoffgroove Flipster...

woodyratm Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Might be worth giving max at SFX a shout. Get something made to order. Max is a great guy to deal with and his pedals are excellent also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally8 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I second the notion of the bdi21. Cheap as chips and gives a real nice sound with Di option. Dunno how it fairs against the big boys but im happy with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walplayer Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 [quote name='molan' timestamp='1324132457' post='1471153'] Why go for 'valve sounding' when you can get one with a real valve in it Use what the pros use: A-Designs Reddi - expensive but supposed to be the best there is! I know a serious touring pro & session musician who swears by these There's lots of info about them online but here's the first video review I found: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEmNT_pvU0[/media] Of course, you know who's going to be stocking these soon. . . Our very own Borntobemild from BassGear [/quote] This would be ideal for what you've described . Also the groove tubes brick might do what you're looking for a bit cheaper,you see them for 200-250 used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) I have decided to get Max at sfx to build me a custom pedal incorporating the Micro Red Dragon [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_red_dragon"]http://www.sfxsound....icro_red_dragon[/url] with an XLR out. Decided I wanted solid state, so no risk of valve failure/fragility, but with ability to emulate valve sound. Plus his pedals are teensy so very gigbag friendly!

RichF Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 pretty much exactly my decision - sold the big valve pedal and replaced it with a micro red dragon (not yet arrived). have to say again though, if someone has the space dont hesitate to go with a DHA VT2.

Clarky Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Max just sent me this picture of the completed pedal. Should arrive in next few days Looks ultra-simple to use (I don't like lots of knobs and dials) and I am really looking forward to putting my P bass through this [attachment=100748:rd-xlr.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nope, it arrived in post yesterday and I got home late from work.
