@jason73 - I found it! Thanks mate. I'll see if I can get any kind of discount from them. Otherwise I'll just buy it. The prices have gone through the roof.

ARGH - they are based in Seattle! I have to wait about 4 hours before they will be open!!!
I've ordered items that get had to find from them just because they are a bit pricey. Another good one is Eastside Music in Nashville over on Fatherland Ave. They have a great selection of pedals. I've bought some awesome gear from them. :)

Thanks again mate. Have you had success in getting any kind of discount from them in the past? They seem to have a good number of them in stock so who knows...

You have managed to seriously calm me down...
 
Did you ever get that AD593726? I just read your thread compairing delays again lol.

I got the AD4096 twice over, LOL. It has a similar feature for trails like the Kilobyte. The only reason I didn't get the Kilobyte was I wanted to go analog and wait for No Memory for digital and luckily I got one so I never explored the Kilobyte first hand.

I've made a discovery today that was simultaneously saddening and exciting. The 31 band EQ I had been running through severely dampens my tone. I plugged straight into my amp today and noticed it was louder, clearer, and had the bass's natural tone coming through. Running through EQ, it was like throwing a blanket on everything. Granted, I could boost and tame frequencies, but the tone didn't breathe.

Now I've decided to just go straight to amp, and I've thought about picking up a MXR Bass Preamp to get some more tone shaping options (sweepable mid and different EQ points from amp). Anyone have experience with this? Should I look into some other things? I don't think I need tons of control now that I have the Jag and Rusty, I just want something transparent or adds a little sparkle. If I got the MXR then I could sell my mini spark boost (used as a tone enhancer). I can also throw something nifty into that rack space too if anyone has some suggestions.

And I might end up flipping the One Control and Fireburst for a different OD and Fuzz. Not sure yet. That KMA Minos is looking awfully sweet..


Does it need a DI? If no, I would look at the Empress Para EQ with boost. All the eq you would need, a clean boost on separate switch. But, you can still use the Empress eq for just some minot tweaks in the mids or something. Without going crazy.
 
woah! @Somnambulance

Mantic makes a clone of the Meatbox? I had no idea...
