    Peavey Fury p'up issue?

    Bought a second hand Peavey Fury from '95 (according to its serial#), it's got a p-bass pup. The volume and tone knobs made noise when you would mess with them. Also, there would be a very noticeable (read: annoying) hiss that would go off if i touched one of the knobs or the bridge Sent it to...

    Tapewound flats?

    ok ok just to clarify i'm definitely (obviously) a newbie at this, i got an answer from Invalid Link Removed when i asked which strings he was using on that one gig, and said "nylon flats" either way your posts answered lots of questions guys. thanks for the patience! :)

    Tapewound flats?

    I'm looking for a set of tapewound flats for a Peavey Fury which i recently fell in love with, but after using some google-fu to look for tapewound that are also flats, i only see Rotosound's RS88LD set specifying they're both tapewound AND flats. Am i not searching for them correctly? Do you...

    Blending in compression

    Here's a short clip of parallel compression using the CS-2 and Boss's LS-2 as suggested in another thread a few days ago. Settings on the CS-2 are at fastest attack possible (full counter-clock wise), about 2pm on sustain and about 1/3 max volume of my Fender fretless MIM J-Bass bridge pickup...

    Blend modification cost

    Does the Boss LS-2 come with any considerable tone loss?

    Presonus Tube pre vs newer models

    All i know about it is that apparently the circuit desing doesn't really benefits much from the tube. Don't know if this helps much either, but I compared the overdriven signal of an ART MPA II pre with JJ tubes and the Ibanez ts9b (b stands for bass) and the Ibanez box sounded very much like a...

    Xotic SP Compressor?

    Is it an expect feature to get your signal limited even at blend levels about 50% and regardless of the compression toggle switch?

    Compressor suggestions wanted!

    Alright guys, think i've got very clear now what to look for regarding release times and will check out some of the alternatives. Thanks! :)

    Compressor suggestions wanted!

    @Lebowsky I've been through ovnilab's reviews and recommendations :) I'm thinking of a compressor with a mix/blend knob, a fast attack (or, if possible, an attack knob), slow-ish release (so the whole note shines through), and a decent ratio for a squishy sound. The Walrus one, Wampler, Xotic...

    Compressor suggestions wanted!

    Hey guys. I'm looking for this kind of compression: at the 0:40 mark (slightly nsfw vid) I was thinking of parallel compression options to get that squished sound without completely losing all my dynamics. Judging by what i'm listening to, it's not too bad if the pedal makes me lose some...

    New to effects...some advice if you don't mind?

    I might be totally wrong here, but i'd try a delay pedal that has enough modulation on its repeats (or even better, it lets me choose how modulated they sound!) and the delay can be as fast as for it to give me a chorus-y effect. EHX does a Memory Boy delay that even has a switch that says...

    Fairfield Circuitry - THE CLUB

    I love delays that let you control (or at least to some degree) the modulation of the repeats, which i just realized until today after seeing that review (and now it makes sense to me why i love the Mem Boy Deluxe haha). Looking forward to seeing a more in-depth demo of that feature!

    Korg Monotro Series

    I have the regular Monotron (not the duo). The thing is ok, specially if you dig tones that you get from some EHX pedals. Not lo-fi, but sound kinda brittle and with a little bump in the mids/low mids? I've used the LPF with my rig but didn't get musical results back then.

    Best CHORUS pedal for bass??/

    I loved using EHX's Memory Boy Deluxe as a chorus. The Rate knob is nowhere to be found in the Memory Boy or Memory Man, and i believe is what can get you a very personalized feel to what you're looking for, along with that more-than-i-need-to Depth knob.
