Re: Insecure Delusion: a tribute to Tool

Thanks for the kind words! What the gear hounds and aficionados won't tell you is that 90% of the Tool bass sound is just smacking the absolute living shit out of the strings.

The other 10% is hideously expensive.

What diezel preamp is that? the vh4 pedal?
Yeah the VH4, I bullied him into buying it :lol: never looked back though! It's quite an incredible bit of kit.

Insecure Delusion: a tribute to Tool

Hey folks, my Tool tribute band Insecure Delusion had our first outing on Friday and I thought I'd share it here (hopefully the right place!) It's not particularly high quality but pretty decent for a DSLR camera. I'm on bass and was pretty happy with the tone! Best listened with headphones or good ...

Both pedalboards in action at the studio on Tuesday. This is the longest they have been unchanged, but there’s a fuzz yet to be added, and plans for a bass delay and hopefully Justin Chancellor fuzz…

One thing engineers love - having full amp and cab sims on each board.

Re: Cable recommendations

I am very happy with my Runway Audio custom cables. The casing is very stiff, but it’ll break in over time.

My Freedom cables are still going strong 15 years later too…

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

Yep, this is a Mark I build so I gather it's a pretty fussy circuit, despite (or perhaps because of it) being 'simple'. I thought it needed a bit of Reg's signature attention to detail!

Pretty excited about this custom order from Reg. It apparently took 50 transistor swaps to get it right!

Queen B & The Nobles - Wairarapa gigs in March

Hey folks! My soul/funk band Queen B & The Nobles will be hitting the stage twice in March. It'd be great to see/meet any NZG members in person, and both events are totally worth the trip from Wellington/Manawatu! (Maybe even Hawkes Bay. I can't be sure.) Especially if you like wine and gin. And...

Re: What are you gassing for?

I’m quite keen on the new EB flatwound guitar strings. Not sure when or whether they will land here though…
