Old set up : New set up : Certainly smaller! I do miss the BDPG though for super subby bass, although that could be the combo with the all valve LB30... What's next? I'm on the search for a preamp pedal that can give me the sound and feel of the little bastard and if I can't find something...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I did search but came up blank. I just got a second hand tonehammer in the post today but when it's off I'm not getting any signal though. Is this normal or is there a switch somewhere to enable that? Just wondering before contacting the seller to claim...

I've been toying with this idea recently. I currently have a Line 6 M5 and an MXR Analog Chorus pedal in my rig and the thought of replacing both with a B3, running it in the loop of my amp with the U5 model in there too - would this allow me to have the sound of my amps pre section, the U5 sim...

Interesting.. I would never have thought about the zoom option! I was doing some research too and I think a JHS colour box may be in a similar vain of no tube simulation etc, it's quite pricy though... I'm wondering would a preamp like a Tonehammer pedal with a full EQ do the job? Or possibly...

As above, I love the sound of the U5 on tone 2/3 into my LB30 but it's another bit of reasonably fragile kit to carry to gigs. Having something that sounded similar at the end of my pedalboard chain would be infinitely more convenient. What's out there?

I've bookmarked that comparison video to watch later, very interesting! I think I'd like to have the option for the pedal to add some dirt. Down the line to do plan on adding another OD, perhaps a MarkBass Mini Dist, to go from a bit of crunch to proper distortion

I'm trying to figure out what drive pedal I should get to add to my board. It's going to be replacing an Earthquaker speaker cranker, which sounded great but I really wanted something with a gain control and a bit more tweakability. I'm running a Fender Jazz into an Ashdown LB30 to mainly play...
