@bonin in the boneyard It does look sweet. ...answering a question I don't have today but there was a time when a Trace Elliot 10 band graced my board. Back then it was pretty much best in class from an audio quality perspective. The 532 would absolutely be on my list if I were in need.
Mal, as far as tone shaping for use with a simple pre-amp pedal, have you tried either of these?
The idea of a parametric EQ for a more surgical EQ tweak is something that has worked well for me.

@jimc No, but those look sweet! Overkill for just a mids bump but I want one on general principals ;-)

In my rack rig (yes, I still have one though it rarely leaves the abode...) the Preamp is an old BBE BMaxT. A Fender/RCA tone stack but after the stack is a single semi-Parametric band. I just ignore the compressor and sonic MaxiMangler. It really is a very good preamp for those of us into the Fender sound. I'd love an F1X but not enough to spend on one ;-)

Hey guys, I'm home now. I didn't completely ignore the thread while I was away, but I did let messages and emails pile up, so I'm digging through those now. My new circuit board order showed up while I was away so I'll be working on the last couple HW Finally for the June batch this weekend to wrap that up. Also I have a handful of repairs that came in before I left that I'm going to be diving into before starting on the July batch.

A Caribbean cruise every now and then is nice, but after a while I start to miss my basement :cool:
 
A little late night recording, adding some real toobz to the simulated toobz in the Axe I/O-Amplitube. Amplitube is great, but it's just not the same as real toobz.

Dr Wattson arrived, another great sounding pedal. I'm going to have to do a 3 way comparison between the Slampegg, UA, and Dr Wattson to determine what I like about each one, but for now I'm giving the Dr Wattson a run at being my main. And I've got an almost complete rainbow of rainbow's end pedals now!

I would love to see a video comparison.

Another IEM gig with my tribute band.

Venue was hopping, had a jam packed floor and great vibe. We played and sounded great. Man I love this board. It is going to remain this way for some time.

We have some big fests coming up and this is what I will feed the mains with.

I did some quick tests and I think I like the UA in front of the Markbass Compressore. The Compressore sounds the same either way but with the UA in front I get the touch sensitivity I want. I have used Fender tone stacks for 30+ years but I have never tried one with the treble at 10, mids at 10 and bass at 0, I always had some bass like at least at 2 or 3. The way the treble rolls off the bass when it is at 10 and the bass is at 0 works great for my Rivoli, so good, that I took the cheap EQ pedal off my pedal board.

Wait... What??

No more Rainbows and finish??

Obviously I've missed something, and it's not good :crying:

Yep, no more powder coated enclosures after September :(

Fractured Cherry was my favorite, then it went away. I also loved the Green Apple...gone. Now my favorite is the Sparkly White. Gone. But at least I got a pedal or two in each of those colors, along with the Orange for my London Underground.
