Southampton Pedals show some love thread!!

I use it just like you stated. I have the one-knob and just adjust it to taste to goose amps, preamps and pedals. Totally awesome pedal. Keeper.

I just got my Fifth Gear and am currently using it with gain and heat all the way down, after octave, envelope and mod and before a DG Vintage Microtubes.

Fifth Gear Grit is where it’s at, you’re all using yours wrong.

 

[jthisdell]

Well I'm just warming up to it still!

Fifth Gear Grit is where it’s at, you’re all using yours wrong.

Back in my day, the Fifth Gear (V1) didn’t have a separate gain or heat knob, so you just turned the one knob up and took the grit it gave you, and you loved it, you didn’t have a choice!

Damn entitled millennials...

So last night at rehearsal I tried the Fifth Gear with the volume on my P bass turned down slightly (I normally have it up). Made a big difference and gave alot more range of grit before going into OD and fuzz. I keep wanting to try it with low gain on my NXT upright.

This showed up earlier today, finally getting around to checking it out. Pretty impressive and versatile tone enhancer...impossible to get a bad sound.

It has been about 24 hours and where has this pedal been all my life? Can't seem to switch it off @bongomania 's suggested clean svt settings.

Got my Ictineo last September. I had been playing with the knobs and toggle switches for a couple of weeks when I got it, just to fool around. Hard to get a bad tone out of it.

This is Nick's pedalboard for the Arkells rally Cry tour. He used a Jazz bass, orange head and ampeg 810 and this board. Sounded amazing . They are such a good live band. Sold out show . Somewhere around 5000 people. So cool to meet them.

Thanks for the tickets Nick!!!!!!

Just placed my order for an Indie Dream. Hamish was super cool to deal with and really responsive to my questions!!

Damn that thing's überkül.

Last night at rehearsal I had my Fifth Gear > Vintage Micro Tubes > Messenger > Keeley Bassist > TH500 > Berg CN112. Really clean and punchy tone. The gain stage on the 5G really adds some presence and punch. I find it hard to use the Heat without getting too much distortion but I can get punch and a tad of grind by turning the Gain up just a bit. As is said, running the 5G into another OD can be fabulous. My guitarist was really complimentary of my tone so I loaned him the 5G to try. Hope I get it back.

I still can't find this pedal on their website. No official release, yet?

It was a limited early release. Not sure what the plans are for it. It’s an amazing pedal though. Love mine.

There is a "production" release all things equal pedal, but it is slightly different w only 1 drive.
