Annoyingly the Pedal has high end hiss

On it’s own or on the board

It’s like it needs better shielding (it’s like the full on tone pot hiss)

Frustrating because it’s an absolute corker of an Octaver

Well you know these GHS Flats are pretty good. Definitely not for those who want low tension. Very smooth, great lows. Not as much tops as Chromes or Sadowsky flats.

I’ve put a set on the Fretless Jazz and ordered another set (Music Planet)

I put Pro Steels on the Arkansas Tobias but something has gone wrong. I suspect the Action doesn’t like going from higher tension Strings (Daddario halfwounds) to lesser tension.

Yeah I have a set of GHS Flats on a bass, like them lots.

Just need some more power and this will be operational in full.

No idea why the Ashdown Subharmonic works brilliantly through the effects loop but h end hiss through the front of the amplifiers.

Had a look at a Broughton Pedal LPF pre on Tard Me

Didn’t pull the trigger

Some degree of self-restraint I feel

I've just bought an EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive Deluxe pedal from a guy on German eBay. Has anyone tried this pedal (or the previous, non-Deluxe version)? I'm a big fan of the man and his tone, and having two effects loops in one pedal sounds like it should be pretty versatile.
