UglyCasanova wrote:That Evil Filter clone is crazy. It can definitely cop the APTBS sound, as well as some more usable/traditional sounds. The filter has a very wide range. Painful highs and sickening lows. Good stuff! The fuzz is surprisingly tame on its own though, but I guess that's really not the appeal of the circuit. Filter on its own can be very beautiful. I'll try to demo it soon. :thumb:


Yeah that was our feeling too. Filter was amazing, fuzz was way tame for what you expect from DBA. We are discussing a different fuzz when we make our own version, or possibly just keeping the fuzz out all together.

GASing super hard for a 5 string bass. Right now it's a toss up between these two....

Yeah I kinda want a voyager. Or at least figure out a way to get something similar with what I have


i'm really enjoying it as a person who owns no other modulation pedals. i've wound up using the envelope mode constantly since i got it. super fun going from a super fuzz heavy riff to swirly madness without having to do anything other than pick lighter/harder. at first i thought it would be cool as a now and then kind of thing. if you crank the gain and speed it definitely gets into fuzzy ring mod turf which is a bonus too.

Got a Berhinger DD400 delay. Exactly what I needed to finish my board for now. Wish the Hold function was more usable in a live setting tho. :/

Pearl PH-03 Phaser and Yamaha COD-100 CMOS overdrive, both pretty cheap (about $40 each I think).

Nice, gotta love cheap pedals. Some gems in that mess.

Yeah, I did quite a bit of reading on 80's Japanese pedals and both of these are apparently excellent. The phaser had great reviews and the CMOS overdrive is a sort of enhanced version of the old EHX Hot Tubes (well, both are based on the Craig Anderton design). I've noticed a few old Guyatones in the same price range that are super tempting. I found almost no reviews of some these, even in Japanese, but they seem great and look awesome, too.

That music man is hot!!

But I also have something against ltd. maybe because a bunch of my friends in 8th grade bought them, and it sounded shit. That could've also been because of terrible setups, line 6 amps and behringer distortion pedals.

Which ones? I'm a fan of the guyatone stuff. Nice score, btw. I was looking at the cmos recently.

One of my favorite phasers. I don't think you'll be disappointed. :snax:

Second. I usually loathe the Ernie Ball Aesthetic (also, active circuitry) but that SUB is beautiful

The ones I'm most interested in are the "Distortion for Bass" and the "Chorus/Flanger for Bass" from the latest PS series (PS-033 and PS-039). Sharper visual design than the earlier PS (which also look great but in a different style), all black and white. There are quite a few other PS that I'm tempted by but I've bought too many things recently and I was actually trying to slim down my gear pile :).
