Project specific build happening?If anyone is looking to part with an Aguilar Tone Hammer or an EHX Bass Micro Synth, please reach out to me via DM.
I have some nice trade options &/or cash set aside, and would rather deal with one of y'all than go the Reverb route.
Thanks!!![]()

I tried the David Curran BMS patch on the stomp and it sounded a bit like a toy BMS.Has anyone tried the tone factor HX Stomp patches for bass? Adam Kiser, Tanner Erickson, and Matt Ogden all have a Microsynth patch in their rig downloads. Any idea of the differences in them? Is one better than the others? I have one from Adam Truitt but I have never owned a real BMS so I have no idea how any of them actually compare.
I have a micro synth for sale but I think the postage costs might be excessive![]()
For anyone trying to get a BMS tone on their rig without the expense and size of the BMS, I have found that the Broughton Calamity Big Muff clone after an Octave device is very very big sounding and gets close. I also tried the Pork and Pickle fuzz and it's not even close to the hugeness of the Calamity/Octave combo. For those week where I need a BMS-type big chorus but don't need the exact Bethel BMS signature tone, the Calamity/Octave works great. Plus, the Calamity by itself makes for a good OD tone (the fuzziness gets diluted in the mix). I'm very happy with the Calamity.
I find that the BMS works best finger style plucked closer to the neck. Hard to resist digging in with pick, however. You watch Bryce Vaughn videos and he is slamming away on his BMS with a pick and it sounds great.The only real negative with BMS is the appalling octave tracking, it really is one of the fussiest pedals that I have ever owned!

if you ever wonder why car repair is so expensive and takes so long…
Because I insist on doing it myself, which means I must buy ALL the tools, and sometimes end up doing the job twice because I goofed it up the first time while learning how to do it?
My tool addiction gives my gear addiction a run for it's money.... LOL
