    I haven't shot my bass rig yet but picture this...

    '07 Ashdown 4x10 Cabinet


    Cheers!




    Nice toys! I like the Gibson Goldtop. Your Yamaha acoustic looks similar to the one that Bono had painted up. Famous in that poster of him in a robe playing it...






    The guitar was also in some Rattle And Hum era stills. The pics having been taken on a day off in San Francisco around the time of the 3rd leg of The Joshua Tree tour.

    Heh, remember, I don't do technicalities. I just remember someone calling it a whammy bar when I was around, and I associate tremolo with something else that I can't remember so no worries!

    And yeah, Squier are a licensed reproducer of Fender guitars along the lines of the relationship between Epiphone and Gibson. They do mass-produced versions, where Fender and Gibson handmake their guitars, hence the big price differential


    Not necessarily "licenced". Squier was Fender's name for guitars coming out of their Japan factory in the 1980's. Back then, Squier wasn't a 'bad word'. Unfortunately, many (not all) of the Squier's surfacing today are not so good; fret issues, electronics issues, weak pickups, tuning issues... the list goes on.

    Edge used a Squier and had it fit with the pickups that worked with Michael Brooks "Infinite Guitar" system.

    Well done! Nice rig. Are you pleased with the Boss noise suppressor? I was thinking about getting one.


    Thanks! Yeah, I really like the noise suppressor. I can really tell the difference when I use it plus I got one of those multi-plug thingys so I can use it to power all my other Boss pedals.

    The Voodoo Labs Pedal Powere 2 is great to powere you pedals. Versatile. Not cheap but well worth it in the end.It can run ACA or PSA pedals and Line 6 gear too.

    Filter, regulate, isolate, and protect! Pedal Power 2 Plus does it, and does it well, because any less will degrade your pedal’s performance. Players everywhere upgrade to Pedal Power 2 Plus because it powers what conventional power supplies can’t. Pedal Power 2 Plus is hand made in the U.S.A., comes complete with cables, detachable AC power cord, a 5-year warranty, and simply makes you sound better!

    Isolation is more than fixing ground loops.
    Ground loops cause hum, and the solution is to break the unwanted ground path. Isolation is the best way to do it. Unlike other power supplies, Pedal Power 2 Plus isolates EVERY output. This eliminates tone robbing interaction between units. Now you can properly power everything from vintage overdrives to modern digital marvels that others just can’t!

    Proprietary balanced transformer makes it possible.
    A typical transformer, like those used in a wall wart, creates a large magnetic field that causes hum in any audio path near it. Pedal Power 2 Plus uses a custom designed, ultra-low noise toroidal transformer, with separate balanced windings for every output. Now even the most sensitive pedals can be dead quiet.

    Switching power supplies aren’t for everything.
    What’s good for charging a cell phone is NOT good for your pedals. While digital switching power supplies are small and inexpensive, they also generate unpredictable transients and extraneous noise. Pedal Power 2 Plus uses an audiophile quality linear supply for consistently stable, clean, pure power.

    Features

    9/12V (x4) – Standard 9V and 12V Boss ACA
    With each one of these four outputs delivering 100mA, you can easily power any 9V battery-operated pedals. Boss pedals that specify the PSA adapter operate at 9V like most other pedals. Boss pedals that require the ACA adapter operate at 12V which can be selected via switches underneath the Pedal Power 2 Plus. Any one of these outputs can be individually selected to run at 9V or 12V.

    9V (x2) – High Current 9V and Line 6 Modelers
    These two outputs each deliver 250mA allowing you run high current draw effects like the Boss DD-20 Giga Delay or Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler. Via switches underneath the Pedal Power 2 Plus, these two outputs can be separately configured for regulated (Boss Twin Pedals) or unregulated (Line 6 Modelers) power allowing you to run both units if so desired. These outputs can also power any standard 9V effects as well.

    9V (x2) – Standard 9V With Battery Sag Control
    These outputs each have an available 100mA of power, but also allow you to SAG the voltage from roughly 4V to 9V. This feature can be enabled via the bottom panel switches. The SAG control is mostly useful for transistor-based fuzz, octavia, and distortion circuits, as most modern opamp designs are minimally affected by variations in supply voltage. We recommend turning SAG off if you’re going to run digital pedals like delay, chorus, and reverb.

    18V/24V – Using Custom Cables
    All of the outputs on the Pedal Power 2 Plus (and the original Pedal Power) are completely isolated allowing you to create different voltages. You can run effects like the current MXR Flanger by combining two 9V outputs to create a single 18V supply. By switching two outputs into 12V ACA mode, you can join them together to create a 24V output for powering numerous Electro-Harmonix stompboxes including the Deluxe Memory Man.

    Toroidal power transformer

    Rear Courtesy Auxiliary AC outlet, 200 watts max

    Warranty: 5 years

    Important!
    Pedal Power 2 Plus is manufactured to operate from a specific supply voltage. There are three different models, which accept 100V, 120V, or 240V mains. All units sold in North America are for 120V only. You cannot operate a 120V Pedal Power using 240V power without the correct step down transformer. The supply voltage is marked on the bottom of the unit.

    Short Circuit Protection
    Each output on the Pedal Power 2 Plus is short-circuit protected. This means that if you have a short in a power cable, or one of your pedals malfunctions, PP 2 Plus will temporarily turn off the power to that pedal. All other outputs will continue to function normally with no long-term damage.

  5. what do you guys think about used pedals?

    If they work why not? Also, some discontinued models are much better than the new ones, in these cases used is the only way to go.

    sorry, I just googled the one that I saw, just to find that new, it is the same price

    new question:

    what do you think of Behringer Dd100 delay?

    Nothing wrong with used. If it works and is one you like... buy it!

    I got my Sobbat Drivebreaker DB-1 used. I got my WH-1 Whammy used. I got my Boss OD-2, TR-2 and PW-2 - all used.

    best two delay stompboxes I've found...

    MXR Carbon Copy.
    Boss DD-20. [The DD-20 will get you loads of Edge-tastic type delays.]

    Thanks! This will be my first pedal, and I wanted to make sure that it would be a okay to go used

    DD-20....... $200 thats more than what i paid for my either one of my guitars lol. I found a used one for only $40..... http://www.daddys.com/used/?itemnumber=BEH4410

    what do you think of that one? Sorry... I must be annoying with all the questions

    Not at all...I am here to help if I can...but I really don't know much about guitar pedals.
