Jaaakkkeee Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I get more extras with that bank account. Although once I am out of the overdraft comfortably, it's gettin gcancelled as they took away some of the good extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hows the VOX? It looks great at least, and cosmetics are half the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 It's pretty good. I've yet to take it to practice and I have some concerns about the volume of it. I think the tremolo sometimes 'sticks' in the quiet part sometimes, other than that its awesome. It sounds like a Vox and pairs pretty well with fuzz and delay, which is the two main effects I use. Overall chuffed to bits with it and it was a total steal at 70 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Two Words. Fucking Awesome. Where did you get your fuzz made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 This dude here, Hello Sailor Effects, same dude did both pedals, I stumbled over it by mistake in E Bay, just searching for "fuzz", there are wax capacitors from the 40s in the fuzz, as it said in his advert blurb, it only has an output level knob, it gets fuzzier the hotter the signal you send it, I've not done any fuzz demos as such, but it is all over the most recent stuff I've done (linky in sig). The fuzz was going for £39, that's what i paid for it, I ended up getting Gun Face for £20 + £20 p&p (solid brass), his original sale fell through, so got offered a bargain. Even though I have accidentally fried the boost circuit Gun Face is a v classy mild distortion, fed into the fuzz, it is quite thick and wild and capable of flutey infinite sustain AND stage style feedback at home levels. They are fucking ace, and the dude is in the middle of making me an Oscillator Fuzz type thing,( Mondragon's Trichometric F*U*Z*Z*, ahem), in a blue housing with orange LED, will post pics when I get it. He seems happy to take orders via FB, honestly can't recommend enough, if some famous dude used his stuff he could charge silly money. He is in the Navy, and does it p/t so might take a wee while, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Acquired this recently:This bass amp is a rear ported 1x10 plus tweeter. In the combo it's 250W. Also you can remove the head and it can give 500W into a 4 ohm cab. It is basically a copy of the Ibanez Promethean. I originally got it thinking it would be useful for quieter acoustic gigs. I took it to band practice not expecting much. Imagine my surprise when it was more than capable of keeping up with the band (drums, keys, sax, guitar and vocals). I'm very impressed. I've seen bigger practice amps. I'm looking forward to trying the head into my Zoot 4x10. Installation test at practice this week. I'm also toying with the idea of building myself a wee 1x10 to stick underneath it. No, you can't change the laws of physics, but you can sure as hell bend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 It was shipped on Friday, so it should be arriving tomorrow or Tuesday. I don't have a cab at my flat, so will have to book an hour down at MV to give it a blast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Get it modded, if you do get one. The top end on the overdrive is really harsh, even when you dial back on the treble and max the bass. There's a digital low end boost button, but it sounds so fake, and makes the cab cones go all flappy. There's a few different mods for it. The one I got for mine took away the harshness on the drive channel, which gave it alot more of a warm presence. I got the amp incredibly cheap. I really wouldn't pay full price for one these days, or even the second hand going rate, unless it had been modified to take away the brutal fizz.
