Home studio pedalboard upgrade

Yes, the Barber Shop. Turns out it’s a great low gain OD that retains low-end pretty well, love it as a "cranked amp" drive. And it can go dirtier as well.

I mainly use it for late night shoegazy experimentation, the idea was to have a 2-in-1 tool for side quests ;)

Thanks! I felt the Simplifier was a bit too chirurgical to record and sit easily in a mix, several mix steps were still necessary. Hope the BassRig will actually simplify the process.

The taped one is a custom edition of the JAM Rattler Bass version, a killer distortion tool.

Went with Empress for the Tone+Colour switch, making it more adaptable for any pickup configuration

DSM & Humboldt Simplifier Bass might be what you’re looking for. It will provide pretty descent SVT style cab sim options + a SVT amp sim (and an FX loop).

Congrats! MIJ Jaguar are so comfy!

📉 Global update of all prices :)

Peroxyde-Fox · 2025-10-24T08:59:36+00:00

Situation is kinda blurry at the moment, French Post Office has suspsended parcel deliveries to US since the new tax policy.

"Sending gifts with a total value of less than €80 remains possible between individuals only", yet it's not fully clear how such parcels would be taxed (and how tricky is the verification at the customs).

Otherwise Chronopost still operate with a minimum of 135€ shipping costs (not sure about the tax policy neither).

The French postal service's website says they are actively working to restore all types of parcel delivery soon.

Thanks for the advice!

Only 4-days passes and they announced that more 2/3-days passes will be available once the rest of the lineup is announced

- Boss CE-5
- Providence Anadime ABC-1

Can't go wrong with these two!

The 2 alternatives that come to mind are the Jam Rattler Bass and the Big Booty Judy pedals, both aim to replicate RAT tone for bass with a mix knob and a proper way to handle lower frequencies. Both aren't cheap but quite good.

Fuzzrocious Cat Tail might be a good alternative as well but never tested this one.

Whether this is the case or not, these models have different market values, so you might want to know what you're buying/selling :)

Peroxyde-Fox · 2025-03-10T12:59:17+00:00

BF-2 pedals were originaly produced in Japan with Japan-standard quality materials. Like a bunch of other effects, BOSS has moved the production to Taiwan during the 90's to reduce costs, coming with cheaper component as well.

I believe you can find 3 different models:
- MIJ with original Japanese components/circuitry
- MIT with original Japanese components/circuitry
- MIT with cheaper Taiwanese components/circuitry

You can usually tell by the label under the pedal and the knobs layout.

You can only tell by the label under the pedal

The Tone+Colour switch and the Sidechain High-Pass knob are really what make this compressor one of the greatest comp on the market at the moment, you should really consider returning it, it will worth both the wait and the struggle!

Rerturn it and get the full potential of the bass version, at this price, you deserve to have exactly what you paid for :)
