Hopefully im gonna be able to add in on this thread in the future...

Currently in talks with Benj about 2 pedals i'd like made ?

Greg

Are you guys based in Cape-Town?

I really wanna get my hands on a Vintage R and a Toenail Clipper to demo... Need to see if I'm going to buy the one or both!

Inbox me if you can help me out, I'll bring my Fuzzshed to the party!

I am in Cape Town with the Vintage R as well as Arjun with the Dual Drive ? ... I don't know of anyone with a TNC pedal though.

While just jammin' at home today, I made this scruffy demo of
the Craigamps Toenail Clipper.

For sure I should have played and planned the video better,
but it gives an idea of what the pedal delivers.
The last bit about using it for lead, I under-GAINed
it in honesty. I use a lot more 'grit' than you'll hear.
Read the YouTube description for more details.

As always, your comments appreciated...hot and cold!
Ha haaa, Eric.

Hmm...

HMMM I SAY!

I might get a Vintage R and TNC combo... when I have money.

In 2014.

I know this will sound like Sci-Fi....

I gig most weekends and I could take a Mesa Boogie MKIV
(three channel) or a Marshall TSL (three channel) but I actually
now just use the clean channel of the Marshall and two Craig pedals,
a Vintage G for crunch rhythm and a Toenail Clipper for lead.

I have always been keen on minimal effects and occasionally a
Boss DD3 delay and a Crybaby Wah are added.
That's my current gig rig!!

I think that......maybe I just got lucky.....finding my sound....
(it's only taken me 30 years !!)

Anybody ever use the Squish on bass? I was looking at the BEE Opto Stomp but this just seems more my style..

eric-vaxxine

My bass player raves about his Craig SickFuzz pedal.

He's a great 'all rounder' in our covers band, but a
punk at heart...... and typically after half time, he always roars
sonically, throwing root notes off into the wind and thrashing
the socks off every tune.

If i saw this thread a month ago i would have definetly gone for a SickFuzz, only saw the thread tonight... I bought a Carl Martin The Fuzz last month.. Its a amazing pedal and absolutely kills on bass but the $$$ could have been better spent if i knew of the SickFuzz.. No use crying over the fuzz now.. Its time to get a compressor ?

eric-vaxxine

Squish?

Optical compressor

This badboy ? Some guitar compressors dont do too great for bass so im just wondering if anyone has tried it yet.

After much discussion and redesign, Benj from CraigAmps is busy building my "Cookies & Cream" pedal. Should be finished soon ... ?

Congrats Roy! Hope you don't mind, but i've had a sneak peek at it.
I love the layout. The next dual drive i get will pretty much follow the same layout as your "Cookies & Cream".
Speaking of which, is the C&C a combo of the G & R?

Cheers

Yes it is a combo of the Vintage G & R but with a little more crunch/bite in the "G" I think.

Looking foorward to tryong one of CraigAmps pedals (and the amp as well in a little while of course).

racman

Well the Cookies & Cream is finished and I will hopefully get it in the next few weeks. Benj certainly rose to the challenge I gave him in terms of the construction brief:

Looks cool! I want to eat it :-[ I wouldn't want to put velcro on the back of that!

I wouldn't have used red LEDs tho, maybe blue or white ? cue Alan...

Greg

SONICE!

eric-vaxxine

RoyC - Please make us a demo of the Cookies and Cream
once you've got to grips with it.
