Day off , rubbish weather

Jazz Bass SS rounds , plectrum and chorus morning
Going to spend some quality time on this

Never been a fan of Tech21 but their Bass Boost Chorus pedal is the go . My favourite chorus pedal although the old BrownnBoss was good at a couple of things

How does the diamond mini compare to the original? Is it still 18volt?

Well I don’t know why I bought it , completely unnecessary
I love the BCP-1
So now I have 2 Diamond Bass Compressor Pedals because I cannot bring myself to sell either

A hopeless case

“Advantages “ of the SGFX DIAMOND BCP/EQ
Size factor
Can be run at 9V without headroom peaks
Third HZ point for tilt is clever
Top jacks

I haven’t run it at 18v I didn’t bother buying a voltage doubler

The old BCP I have a special cable for powering up. It’s a great Compressor/ Tone Enhancement. I can’t fit it on the board

See I bought some filters thinking I’ll never need three ....but all three filters I like and can’t bring myself to sell.

I’ll probably end up buying another board, power box etc.

Tragic case

I am unrepentant.

Although if you’re looking for a home for that Bass Comp I’d be more than happy to oblige

Yeah they are pretty good

Peak limiting
Tone Enhancement
A bit off Squish if required (although I think VCA type is better at that)

Will always make a Passive flatwound strung bass sound better. But useful with a lot of different instruments.

Synth ish , dub funk

Very old Chromes on the Precision

The Dreadbox is being used as VCA type compression just a hair of squish.
TheOC-2 is a quirk unit, but when it’s right it’s right

Big fan of DemonFX, I have their A7K preamp which sounds killer to me...
