Broughton Audio Super Thread

Pedals is life.

Man, Evan's Reverb shop is.... something.

Yea, he obviously flips pedals. Free market and all but that could've been mine and I would have actually used it.

 

[darkhalf]

crushed dreams on the Archetype boost but a Fantasm and a custom More is inbound. Thank you so much my broughs @labeledbass and @warptheory for making it happen. Much respect to all the broughs that makes this group thread amazing. Thank you!

Except when he’s railing against the exact same.

Anyone know of a good sound clip on soundcloud or youtube that demonstrates examples of an amazing tube tone that everyone always strives for with all these combinations of drive/tube/boost/compressor pedals? I've just never used tubes on my bass tone and don't fully understand what I'm missing. What's a good holy grail tube tone that I can listen to online?

Here’s as good a place as any.

I've noticed this too and I suspect it's because some players want stellar tube tones from both preamp/DI and their drive pedals, not one or the other. There are many excellent non-Broughton tube and preamp DI options out there (Khan VTDI, REDDI, JT Amplification Alpha, Teegarden Fatboy, Tonecraft 363, Acme Audio MTP-66 Motown, Lightning Boy DiVision, Noble, Shift Line Olympic MKIIIS, Arkham Oracle, GP-Lightstone Emperor, Jule Monique, Sonic Farm Tantra Pentode, WRA Goliath, etc.), but Broughton is unequaled when it comes to drive and boost pedals with tubes. It is likely that players have already found a tube preamp/DI that works for them (Broughton or non-Broughton), but they haven't found a tube drive pedal of similar caliber. That is what Broughton Audio offers in my experience.


Depends on how you intend to use it. If you want it to be a tube tone sweetener a la the Sushi Box More or Space Heater, then at the very end (after modulation, and perhaps a preamp as well) makes sense. If you want to use it as a gain stage a la the Broughton Solarion then stack it with your other dirt (before to boost drive; after to boost volume). I bet you could even use the Archetype Valve Boost on its own as a light overdrive. My own plan is to use it as an always-on pedal that pushes my Lightning Boy 2020 transformers. I'll then rein in that extra volume later in my chain via my compressor. I'll try other uses as well, such as stacking into other gain, but for now that's my plan. It's a very specific need I have and it's why I've been looking forward to this drop since it was first teased.

I’ve had great success using the gain from the LHPF to feed the lightning boy division di. sending a real hot signal into the tube di was a great sound/feel.

The unit he has listed is from the previous version, and does not benefit from the redesigned power supply. He robbed you of nothing.

My mistake. But still the markup is still ridiculous.

But the guy must be trolling with a shipping price of $420.69.

No- its Pony Express.

The internet, by its very nature, forces one to ignore so much.

Hagerman Value Boost, Edison Night Owl, or Sushi Box More. Hagerman has price on its side. Night Owl has the most options on its side. The More top Jacks and size on its side.

Evan has been banned for a matter of months and TB has already forgotten him. I suspect your comment killed a small part of his soul.

My favorite part of the internet is not knowing whether you're trolling. A pedal price of $5,555 with a shipping price of $420.69 is obviously trolling. And it's highly likely you know it. Which means the most obvious conclusion is I am the one who has been trolled on a topic that was plainly a troll. :lol:

 

[Gorilla Monsoon]

I for one still enjoy Evan.

i have a night owl, and although the size isn’t my most ideal it does sound really really good
I really like it with both guitar and bass

If you want something that can get a bit dirty, you should look at the Sushi Underground Accelerator or Finally.

It’s indeed a nice sounding pedal. The form factor made me sell it.

You've never used an amp with toobz before, sir?

100% guarantee he is trolling. With all of it.

Although, it's not too far off from non troll posts.
