Broughton Audio Super Thread

[mmbongo]

I play passive basses and on this board, use the Diamond as sort of a boost. It does this very well, and very quietly.

Agreed. Indeed the Diamond is the better choice here.

I noticed the Gain was up really high on the JoshWah! lol

As I’m sure you’ve already read, The Locust Star does more subtle rock tones really well too.

What does the gain do on that pedal, JoshWah? does it start to get heavy like a bass balls kinda idea, or just a boost? you don't see too main envelopes with gain

It’s meant to boost your signal prior to it triggering the filter stage, thus adding harmonics to the signal being filtered. It can go from “clean” to ”some OD” to “stop banging your electric razor to the wall”. Higher settings sound almost fuzz-like. Think of Cliff Burton’s intro to “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, but with a single pedal rather than Wah + fuzz/muff.

Mind, I don’t drive it THAT hard; the pic was taken after my cats apparently played with the board. They really really like Broughton stuff, can’t get enough of the packages in particular.

lol classic! I know this problem all too well. Every now and then they dial in a cool new tone for me, though.

Yes I saw that they emulate different Ampeg amps, I was just thinking if the SV-pre can cop a tube sound, and it's in a smaller form factor, and cheaper too, maybe it was an overall better choice for gigging?
However, I'm assuming that the P15, being tube driven, sounds better. So far I really like the tone I'm getting from it. But, if the SV-pre sounded anywhere close to actual tube tone, it would make for a practical alternative for a gigging muscian.

Solid state != tube. And from experience, the Fliptop != P-15. Do your own extrapolation.

You're trying to compare apples and oranges, not the least of which are two entirely different tone stacks as well as how they work.

Only you can decide what's worth it to schlep.

 

[NKBassman]

When I first got my P15 I was nervous about bringing it to gigs and whatnot. Now I wouldn’t dream of leaving it at home except for real exceptional situations.

And for real the SVPre and P15 are a great combo.

I had to look that up. Lol.

Everything I have works great with the P-15.
On the flip side,
Everything I have works great with the SSDI with the exception of using a SS > SSDI which is kind of redundant.

Assuming the equations Solid State != tube and Fliptop != P-15 are true, we can then also assume that tube = P-15, thus Solid State = Fliptop. It was this type of advanced mathematics that took NASA to the moon.

Given the right font set, I can also prove that girls are evil.

That’s good universal math there.
None of that weird “new math” stuff.

Basic girls or basic math?

Both, really.

Now you're just trying to get someone in trouble, man.

Remind me not to join any manned space flights under your banner.

Listen, my space flights will be perfectly safe and extraordinarily well equipped, and technologically superior to any service and systems now available.


We're just not very good at landings yet...

 

[ZombiBoi95]

Sorry if not allowed but does anybody here happen to be selling a studio one or know of somebody that is? Been looking on here and other sites for ages but no luck. Thanks
