thank you justin. it can get really close to the nobles tone. a sonically delicious warm tone by the neptunium and with the messengers EQ and boost it just adds another character to it as well. really diggin’ this clean board right now. Cheers to a great weekend man

Would you say the difference between a Noble and Neptunium is noticeable in a live mix and in ear monitors? Or is it indiscernible?

i have used it only once this friday and while the neptunium is such an amzing pedal in my ears theres a small difference as i like the fatness in the noble as well. i cant quite distinguish it as much maybe bec i need to experiment more as the neptunium is also colored by the messemger which are all both on the entirety of the jam. i like the neptunium’s ability to warm and fatten the tone while making each harmonic sing.

Just looked at the specs for the FH5, it can power a HX Stomp or your Fractal from that single outlet? That's a winner!

Exactly! Absolute winner and totally off of everyone’s radar so far. Need to test it thoroughly next but if it meets expectations, we’ve got a much cheaper (and smaller) option to the wonderful Cioks units.

Was too tired from work to wire everything up this afternoon so, will report back in a day or two.

Looking at them on amazon, I can't see what all the adaptors are. Is there the correct one for the HXS with the 2.5mm centre hole?

This is the package I bought. Check the bottom left cable 😮🤘🏼

I bought directly from their website for a much better deal in the UK. Delivery took a bit longer but saved some cash that way.

Ok cool, couldn't see those labels for the cables. The straight black to 90 degree green is for the HXS. Might be tight getting it under my Rockboard Duo 2.1, but it will go. Want something with an IEC on it. Can't get the Cioks SOL is Australia for some reason. Have to buy from the US, and then it could get held in customs if they aren't approved.

Love this pedalboard. How are you enjoying the Lowrider?

It’s grown on me quite a bit. I think the key with it is pairing it up smartly. The Cornerstone has a beautiful, smooth drive, but does lose just a bit of heft, even when blended. The LR adds it back plus something extra up top and it’s just killer.

I have absolutely no need for one, but one day I want to try the DCX Bass.

I just got one quite recently, and I have to say it is frankly incredible. Massively versatile, brings some incredible saturation, with a TON of room for nuance in terms of how much, depending on whether you are in EQ or OD mode.

It's arguably kind of expensive for what it is, but I ended up trading for one, so it was money already spent. And honestly, no regrets. Pairs incredibly well with other drives, and it sits super beautifully in a mix. Cutting without ever being harsh, and a ton of low end heft without ever getting boomy. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

You aren't helping!! :laugh:

A just got a Jad Freer CAPO. The same guy I got the CAPO from is selling a DCX. Wish he was keen for trades but he isn't. I literally should be selling gear!
