I like these, a lot - but it's a lot of faith to put in a pedal that you've never heard on bass. Hmmmm!! Still haven't managed to read up fully on the XR12 yet, but I have to say, re: our other conversation about IEM monitoring, I REALLY like it.

What!?? Someone has managed to put a low cut filter in a drive pedal already? AND a treble cut on the output if I understand correctly. Gonna need to hear this

The visuals of that looking glass look awsome , on my radar since NAMM now ( gaaasss)
I didn't order the nobels after hearing construction/reliability issues.....
I have the new sparkle drive mod inbound now ,it seems to be all I want from a tube screamer :-)

So here's a nice little update to the Bad Monkey request! (and thank you to those who have suggested some really cool alternatives)

I love BassChat, it's full of really good people and one such came to my rescue and offered to send me their own Bad Monkey pedal to try out. Such a kind offer - but one thing led to another and we swapped some of our kit to seal a deal. I am very pleased to say that I am now a rather happy bunny as I own a Bad Monkey! It's making some great sounds in my set up already and I haven't even got to tweaking yet!

Thank you so much Japhet, you're a star!

Was it a standard or mod monkey? I preferred the standard myself .I found the best out of that pedal is the treble full and the bass just slightly off full ,gain at 10 and volume to suit......in a valve amp them settings were fantastic

Standard and so far, I've enjoyed using the mixer out looped up for a dry blend. Also feeding the pedal with a bit of boost from a compressor pedal sounds cool as well.

Sweet! Plus the 1. I love BC too for just this reason.

Glad you got one in the end - plenty of scope to mod the beast. Just 30 secs on Google got plenty of hits (mostly Talkbass, but hey). I still run mine stock but with a bit of effort I reckon I could do some of the bass mods (and you're not a million miles away either if you' like yours done at the same time ;) )

Hey Ian! Thank you! Yes, brilliant - So far he natural mid boost is ok as I'm using the mixer output to soften the top end too. I think I'll stay stock for now but I like the 'Banana Mod' I think it is to pull the mid bump down a bit. Possibly worth looking in to. I might have a look at an HPF and gain stage for the input too, but I'll test the theory with some extra hardware before I get the iron out!

Yes, you're not too far away! A possible 'mod date' ha ha should I get the urge to try some things out! Cheers :)

When you say "gain at 10" do you mean 10:00 o'clock or max?

If max I use the same settings and I agree it sounds great
volume = 9 oclock
lows = 3 o'clock
highs = max
gain = max
