Gear 35

I have a 1995 Peavey Fury with a Poplar Black body and Maple neck. This Bass is amazing, got it used for $99. Great P Bass with a J Bass neck with 1 extra fret that Fender doesn't have. The Machine heads are heavy and weren't the best quality, so I swapped with Hipshot Ultralites. That is the only downside. This thing sustains forever, great tone compliments of the Alnico V pickups and is Made in the USA. If your thinking Fender P Bass, check this guy out first, plays much better.
Very playable J Bass with extra access to the high frets. The neck is a little soft due to cheap overseas production and the tuning knobs break. Great flame maple top with cheap bass wood underneath. The pickups sound very good, just like a vintage J Bass should. Very Light. One of the best beginner basses.
Matched with with a 1x12" Alnico Blue Weber and it sings. Does the Fender Tone, Vox is pretty close, and with the help of a drive pedal, you can get a Marshall tone. 15 Tube Watts are a little less than I thought, but it's a studio/small club amp. It really shines with the Tweaker switches, a real boutique style amp. If your looking for a small wattage head, this is the best that's out there.
First Generations were unreliable, this one also blows caps and resistors. Geats that perfect Vintage Ampeg SVT tone. The Infinium Tube Multi is an added bonus and has all the tone/power you could ever want. 1/3 the price of of an Ampeg SVT, but you will have to fix it every year or two and it gets costly. I wish they could have figured this thing out. Perfect Tone, dies all the time.
This thing sounds great. Amps are great. Effects are great. I use it with the free Edit Software on my Mac and it saves tons of time with moving and tweaking patches. The BAD-it has their defective switches. The break early and often. Line 6 ("Yamaha, I'm looking at you!!!) really needs to fix the major engineering mistake. Other than that, it's a Studio MUST HAVE.
Before, Boss amp sims were a joke. They've really done a good job with this unit. Mine came with the pickup and it really gives you Guitar/Bass/Acoustic/Sitar/Banjo/Synth modeling. Boss does this better than anyone else, including Line 6 guitars. Great for experimenting and individual string tunings...It's weird to hear an alt tuned acoustic come our of my standard tuned strat. Worth checking out. Has some great vintage Boss tones like the OD-1. Has most of the Boss Catalog in one pedal, great bang for the buck!
I have the Bass Pod XT-Great tones with classic Bass amp models. The effects are very usable, though the synth doesn't track the best (Zoom B3 is the king). I use it with the shortboard for easy patch and effects swich, and the wah. A Studio MUST HAVE.
Good footswitch, though be warned: This does have the poorly designed footswitches. They are easy to replace, but they break early and often. Display could be better.
Works perfectly with or without power supply. Had it for 8 years, no issues. Doesn't add or subtract tone.
I prefer Korg over the Boss Industry standard. Accurate, versatile, and got it for less than half the TU series. No brainer, just get it! A MUST HAVE on my board.
On the pricey side, but tracks well and does what is says. Mellotron in a box with add instruements: Orch, Cello, Strings, Flute, Clarinet, 2 horns and 2 vocals. Fun to play!
Does what is say, does it perfectly. No tone sucking, nice Red Fassel.
This is a "light compressor" in the vein of the ROSS Comp. Great quality and low noise. Some "Industry Standard/Studio Standard" Comps can be a bit noisy. Very Close to MXR Super Comp M132.
This has the same specs as the TS808 with true bypass (if that's your thing). Love mine, a must for Blues players.
This thing sounds amazing. If "Transparent" OD is your thing, this is king, but the price is insane. There are less than $100 in parts in here so build your own. $1800 avg used price is BS. This pedal is a tone legend though.
This is a neat pedal. Sorta between a Boss OD-1 and a light Fuzz. Pricey, but good tone.
I love the Big Muff, and this guy does the trick for me. Creamy Sil Fuzz that sustains perfectly. Very cheap, but you wouldn't know by the construction. Russian Big Muff Pi Tone. Fun on Guitar or Bass.
Price aside, this thing is fun. Versatile and different from your average fuzz. Great Ripping sound.
Covers light to Velcro, to saturated fuzz. Chaos switch is a little over the top, but a fun added feature to the origninal model. Check this out if you love FUZZ.
This is falls in the Crazy Fuzz catagory. Does everything a Fuzz factory can do but with a Theremin plate. That said, there are some issues. This guy doesn't play nice with others. What you place before it will effect the responsiveness of the plate. I would have preferred the knobs on the top, it's hard to dial in tones when the knobs are pointed away from you. Other than those 2 issues, this is a great experimental fuzz pedal. CRAAAAAAAZZZY!
