I've been getting stuck in to this Dos Mos a pre-amp clean boost pedal. I've been through a little Marshal praccy amp and it's really nice sounding, very warm and just sings!
Through my Koch Powertone II It's stunning! The clean channel and the second boost switched with the buffer is amazing! My Irish Tour Strat on the neck pickup and a touch of reverb is just fffing gorgeous!! Jeff beck baby!! The gain channels sound great too but, to just overdrive the clean, which is nice and warm anyway is what I got stuck into tonight for an hour and a half. Such a nice anti-venom from another day of madness at work. I set a trap for a Weasel Junkie thief who 'works' there and fronted him out yesterday as he is after my ipod, which goes in my jacket pocket when I'm out of the cab now. Today he called me a w**ker so i kicked his cowardly arse all around the tip with a size 10 steel Toe capped boot. Nay-one steals ipods from me! He should be sitting on some frozen peas right now, if he didn't spend his money on cr@p.

Texas Justice in da big smoke :)
Reckon Joel is Tim's Arizona brudda don't you? ;)

Well done Johnny-you cheered me up with that. :lol:
I am glad you are enjoying the pedal too.
-
Ah, you know me! Always good for a laugh and some INSTANT JUSTICE! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey I hop you caught his tailbone with your toecap.
Oh yeah, had the pedal is working out well too.

nice.
if the dos mos is anything like the uno mos (and it should be), it kicks ass. nice choice!
:drink:

Way to go, Johnny!!
The Dos Mos is a kickass pedal!
If you don't have a solo boost on your amp, you an put it thru the FX loop, and it will give you a MONSTER solo boost! (I did this at a gig on Friday)
The real secret weapon on the Dos Mos is the active buffer circuit!
Also, if you wanna dial in some killa chimey clean tones with your single coils, get the CPR compressor. You won't regret it!
HBE = FIYAH POWAH!!!!!!!

Hmmm fascinating...... In my Vulcanist new state of mind I have to note that my large black Koch does have a solo boost and while I did manage to track down the Earthling dealer in silly town when you beamed me down in that part of our interesting universe, he didn't have a CPR. To which a strange feeling enveloped me, I think it's called disappointment. Anyway mustn't grumble! I got some cool stuff and Gordon is still a c*nt!
:lol:
I did forget the KFK EQ for my new Schecter as well. I was in a spin out there dude! I'm getting my new band off the paper and into the studio very soon. Dog willing it will happen before 'winterville' :lol:

know of a pretty cheap 'Germania' if interested, shop changed ownership so blowing some pedals out.

You could always buy a CPR in Vintage and Rare in that part of the Republic of London known as the ego tosser inadequte socially inept guitar sales assistant street - I got one in there and the V&R people were a) friendly b) polite c) let me try the thing out without demonstrating that they spend 8 hours a day practising kiddie trivium force riffs - I was so shocked I had to go the Jack Horner afterwards to have a very stiff drink.

Are we talking Scandinavian country with liberal drinking law passage? I was going to drag a snake skin jacketed peroxide attire displaying specimen over the counter one day in that proximity but refrained and chugged on a JCM 900 instead. The kids loved it and we all had a good laugh :lol:
Can you be more specific me old china? 8)

It's really a different animal from the Dos Mos, in both sonics and flexability.
-
^ ok, cool- i didn't have time to try it as well last time I was in London. What's the difference? I realise that the dos mos is kind of like two uno moses (or maybe it's not), but how does that affect the tone etc.?
:drink:

Good questions, Dave.
Both boosts are dead transparent, unlike some supposed 'clean' boosts out there.
The cirtuitry is the same on both, with 3 exceptions:
1. The Dos Mos allows you to either cascade the two preamps, or play them individually.
2. The Dos Mos has a trim pot inside the unit to adjust the maximum amount of gain.
3. The Dos Mos has an active buffer which you can bring in and out of the signal chain. Trust me, that feature is worth its weight in gold!!

It's good to talk eh Ben!
-
^ ok, cool, thanks ben. I can vouch for the fact that the uno mos was transparent, i was really very impressed when i tried it!
on the dos mos, if you can voice the two preamps individually, does that mean that each sounds slightly different? (actually, now that I think, I think I may have answered my own question- if they're both transparent, they both sound the same, but you can select either one depending on the amount of boost you want, right?)
and what does the active buffer do? I thought buffers were used to maintain your signal through long cables (or is that a different type of buffer?)
:drink:

Yes, but there is a side benefit to using one with short cable runs:
The input impedence on the buffer is very high, just like your pickup. It enables the pedal to 'see' the entire signal before pushing it on.
The result = More high frequency clarity and higher resolution.
-
^ ah, ok, cool, thanks ben.
so that's basically a "if you liked the uno mos, try the dos mos!" recommendation, then?
:D
:drink:
-
Yeah, definitely. That's why I have both!!
-
They sound good too :lol: :wink: 8)

haha, you're no help for GAS, you realise that, ben?

So where is all this gear demo-ing going Dave? Have you bought any Bare Knuckle Pickups yet Dave? They have the full set of what's on offer on the Homepage you know. There's so many to choose from.
What is going on here with this 'Pseudo BKP' thing?
FFS man you question Ben here like you know better. The man is in a band and gigs. Your just a geek mate! Now either buy some and post your clips or do one! :shock:
-
Just had another go on it. Cascading the two together and filthing up the clean so it sounds like Hendrix with Irish Tours. It's f*cking insane dudes!
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: 8) 8) 8)

Your too fussy Dave! Just get some your worse than JP!
Procrastination is a bad habit and evil!
