It might get louder, but it was dimed anyways, so I wouldn't bet my money on it. It was plenty loud plugged to a 500 watt class D power amp. I'd say these little Sunns are simply underpowered. In love with the overdrive, though.

Well, I got my Sunn Beta Mini today and we put it to test at our rehearsal space. The tone is fire. I mean seriously, this is the best sounding amp overdrive I’ve ever heard. It lacks power, though. It was plugged to my Darkglass 212 cab. We cranked it up and it couldn’t get through my buddy’s...

Been on Black Sabbath kick lately and remembered that we recorded a cover of Sabbath's "Who Are You?" last year. Since there is no guitars in this track, only synth, we plugged my bass to three amps, put it through some wierd effecs and a lot of fuzz. asked a buddy to play us a few saxophone...

It sounds like Sleep, but… I don’t know, tame? I used to be a huge Sleep fan back in the day, but now it just doesnt seem relevant in any way. Gave the new track a few listens, but it didnt stick. Oh well, lots of better bands out there, I guess.

Reissue, the only one I found in decent money this side of the Big Pond.

Guys, what's the consensus on Ampeg V4B? I've been tracking bass for demos in both my bands and using the Ampeg VST plugin and as always, it hit me, maybe I should get an Ampeg head. SVT is too expensive, but there's a used V4B floating locally I could get with a bit of stretch. Volume is not an...

I play in drop C in one band. Hate that tuning. The first time I felt proper tension on the C string was on DR DDTs 55-115. Now I swear by them.

Still waiting, they were supposed to ship mine in May, but lo and behold, didn’t. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Also, a lot going on. Got myself a Hoxey aluminum neck, it’s no Robot Graves or EGC, but good enough to see if I like aluminum necks at all. Went to Mystic Festival, biggest metal fest...

My beast defends me from squirrels, neighbours cat and delivery guys.

Tremond definitely has more options: three clippings to choose, and the LPF knob is awesome. Rattler is barebones volume, tone, blend, gain. Second more gain switch is cool. Sound wise, I feel they could have been largely interchangeable. I like to have separate pedalboards for different...

Re: Rats, I’ve been using a Tremond for some time now (cant recommend Blue Colander highly enough, extremely standup dude, and a friend of a friend), but needed another Rat-ish distortion for project number two, went for Jam Pedals Rattler, my Rat GAS is quenched for the time being.

I used to keep and update a list like that, but every time I was starting a new project, too much was being bought and sold and I eventually gave up. I miss some of the stuff, but things had to go to make place for new things. I’m at the end of another cycle like that, since my second musical...

I went down the rabbit hole of fuzz collecting the last few months, got myself a Team Awesome Fuzz Machine, a Pharaoh, Fat Fuzz Factory, a Swamp Lord and a Black Emperor and all I found out is that I love big muffs. Now I'm stuck with too many fuzzes and using only one (Swamp Lord).

Welp, caved in, sold some pedals I don't use anymore and ordered that Sunn amp. I don't need it since my Orange Terror Bass serves me pretty well, but gas is a terrible thing... Shipping in May, though.

599 is still OK-ish, imagine they want it to retail at 999, that is a total deal breaker. I mean, it’s still only a 200 watt class D amp. If it wasnt a Sunn, nobody would bat an eye. That said, I’m gassin hard.
