You guys pulled me back in....

I got a deal on a Flip Top and finally gave it a whirl last night. It sounds great. Really great. It also makes me think if I keep it I'll have to kick the grizzly overdrive off my board since I was using that for b15-ish sounds.

The FT isn't a great overdrive, which is where the grizzly shines, but that's not why one buys the FT.

Now I have to wait for the Slampegg to come next month for me to make my final decision (I'm not getting a p15 under any circumstances).

What are your favorite settings for the Flip Top?
So far for me, dime the volume, bass at 2 and treble at 11:30, cab off. Yours?

You're nowhere near the farthest, not even close; The west coast is more than twice as far away.

But I know people in Cali/WA that get there's sooner? Alot of our mail lands in miami/Jax and then goes north

Yeah but Chicago is a black hole so...

 

[cosmicevan]

Fliptop is very nice. Silver Deluxe through the Fliptop cab sim? Spectacular. Those two pedals stack very, very well.

Oooh...I'll have to try that stacking...but first...

...they call it a hungryman hero, I call it a heart attack hero...either way you walk away disgustingly full

Post of the day right here!

(I'm not getting a p15 under any circumstances..)

Have you tried one? It may tick all your boxes.

 

[labeledbass]

Ditto, shouldn't have sold mine many moons ago

me neither

I'm going to try this stacking buisness, but unless this is some miracle combo, I'll be putting my SD up for brotone trade/$2nd.
SD seems redundant when I use the SSDI so much, not much advantage to be had

Dibs.

I think the studio boost is redundant for those who already have a studio one. So send me a studio boost.

 

[MascisMan]

Dibs.

Dibs, the sequel

Just happy as a clam that guy

 

[MascisMan]

More overdrives? You got it big boy.

Too bad you already got rid of the SSDI. I would have made that trade!

You can make it up to me by just sending me the studio boost.



you have my address.

No, and I'm not going to.

It's for the same reason I don't play $10k basses at the shop, not test drive a tesla. I know me and don't want to make myself afford nice things.

The p15 is also hardly pedalboard friendly, so it's not a consideration. I'm sure it's lovely.

 

[shaggy45]

I wonder if josh still reads this thread or if one of his worker bees locked him up in a basement somewhere.

or maybe he really does just love emails. Maybe we should start an email chain for him.

1 North Pole, right?

Who am I? Santa broughs?

 

[Feral Feline]

I'm no hero, but I'm a hungry man and I'd heartily attack that sammich...

You've seen pics of mine right? Totally works on a pedalboard.

That said, with all the money you wind up spending on other stuff, getting that one nice thing you know works winds up being cheaper in the long run

Also, as I've posted elsewhere, the FT is a distant fourth for me after the P-15 and the two Slampegg variants. I wanted to like the FT. I just didn't.

Last week, the guys I was playing with loved the P-15 over the Slampegg which to me is very good in a live context. I liked what the X brought to the table for one tune specifically since it's the 12AX7 so it's slightly different tonally. The P-15 really is all that and a bag chips, though. Worth every damn penny.
