Thanks for all your help, I am away until Monday now so I won't be able to test it out til then! I can't wait to get back and start working on it again! I'll let you know how I get on and see what you think! Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! Here is what I have understood from the your 'good setting' FAQ, I hope I am understanding it correctly! Increasing the input level on the pedal reduces the threshold, meaning that more of my signal will be compressed? And is a signal only compressed with a low to mid...

I am a noob when it comes to compressors and need some help. I purchased a MXR M87 compressor today to go in my effects loop and eventhough I notice a change for the good in my tone, I'm not sure on how to achieve exactly what I want. First of all I'm not sure if I should place it in the...

I went in to my local guitar store with my effects and tested a couple of pedals. I ended up buying the MXR M87 Bass Compression pedal. I really liked the tone I got out of and found that it made my other effects sound a lot crisper. What's everyone else view on this pedal? Warrior got it spot...

I'm looking for some opinions here... I use an ODB-3 in my effects loop for a slightly overdriven sound and I really like it. However, I think I can still get a better sound out of it. It was suggested to me by a friend that I should try using an EQ pedal with it to help improve the signal...

I play a US Fender Jazz and play mostly mid to hi range notes. I really like the Peter Hook style of bass playing and it suits my band quite well. I think from what you are saying I am probably right to be using the 'Hi Pass'. And in a way I've never had any problems using that send so why try...

Perfect, thanks for the reply! Am I losing a lot of the signal sending from the Hi Pass? Would the sond improve if I used the 'Full Send'? I'm sure I used the 'Full Send' before on the synth pedal never sounded right if I remember rightly. It was like I wasn't getting any Hi's in the slightest...

Hello all, I've been trying to perfect the sound of my TE 1210 recently and even though I use the effects loop, if I'm being 100 % honest, I don't completely know what it is doing. My effects loop consists of a boss ODB-3, SYB-5, CH-1 and a DD7 I have it set to parallel with...

Hey Guys, I've been playing around with my pedal board from a while and haven't been satisfied with my overdive pedal because of the complete lack of bottom end in it. I then realised my Trace Elliot had an effect loops function, with high, lo or full pass. I put the overdrive through the...

I've got a couple of questions after reading FAQ on compressors. I understand the "Sustain" and "Attack" dials but for some reason I am struggling to come to terms with the "Tone" and "Level". (I may just be being stupid). Does the "Level" dial set the level that the compressor starts...

Good stuff, getting it for half price. Bargain in my eyes!

Hey guys, I know there is a specific bass chorus pedal but I just got offered a 2 week old Ch-1 from the local music shop so I took them up on it. I'm picking it up on Monday. What I want to know is will it be fine to use with a bass? I don't imagine that it will make too much difference...

After looking at instructions I think modding the CS-3 would probably be a bit to much for me to cope with. I will just use it when the SYB-5 is on. After having a discussion with the owner of my local music shop, he was telling me they compared three overdrive pedals, Blackstar HT-Drive (I...

Yeh I the guy in the local music shop that I ordered it from just said the same thing about the ODB-3. Luckily for me he is just going to put it on the shelf instead of me buying it. What overdrive pedal do you recommend? Ive heard about modding the CS-3 in some forums. Is it a big job to...
