  1. All true. I’m trying to raise cash so getting down to one octaver seems sensible. In that regard I slightly prefer the tone of my Octabvre and I have a Doom which does dynamic octave fuzz. To be honest, I should probably keep this, especially given its versatility and the fact it covers both duties of the above pedals. Maybe I should..... Never mind, just got a notification of it selling on eBay as I was typing.
  2. Do you mean in terms of depth of sweep or the speed of the sweep? For my use, the speeds were fine as I don’t use the fast, underwater-sounding side of things, though that is perhaps because the lack of depth and resonance controls made those speeds unusable to me, on the block version, that is. The script version sounded better at faster speeds as it has lower resonance and seems to have a lower depth setting. For what they do though, the MXR Phase 90s sound great.
  3. The Moogerfooger is awesome. It’s a big pedal but it sounds so lush. The phaser side of the Glou-Glou Rendez Vous is also fantastic, again though, another big, expensive and now discontinued pedal.
  4. It is very good, though its lack of down sweep and/or finer control over the envelope sweep (without recourse to external gear) made me return mine. I might pick another up as I’ve now found a way of driving envelope sweep circuits a bit harder. The phaser is lovely and can still be had for reasonable prices (£269 new). If I someone buys my Octo Nøjs I think it’s time I bought this (again).
  5. Better rebuy these while I can, discontinued as of now: https://www.moogmusic.com/news/farewell-moogerfooger
  6. Isn’t there also a third-party librarian for the Zoom stuff? There’s a thread somewhere in this section about it. Ask @Al Krow.
  7. OK, did some digging around: Mu-Tron III was used on Sir Psycho Sexy (sources are two separate flea interviews). Q-Tron will get close as it’s Mike Beigel’s version of the Mu-Tron III that he did for EHX in 1995. I’ve seen it on Flea’s board on rig rundown videos. Z-Tron is the Zoom clone of that
  8. After listening with headphones, it seems like it’s actually the narrow pulse:
  9. ... or buy a Behringer Model D for £285, which is a dead-on Minimoog hardware clone.
  10. @tobiewharton, I’ve just had a go at programming “Ain’t Nobody” on my Minimoog App, this setting sounds pretty close. It’s a medium-width pulse, no resonance, relatively fast downsweep envelope with medium depth. I’d seriously recommend buying this app if you have an Apple device, it’s worth every penny, you can play it on the device or hook up a cheap midi keyboard. At a push you could even play it with your bass using a Sonuus G2M (though there’ll be some latency). @CameronJ, I can share the settings file if you want to have a listen to it to comment.
  11. Shameless plug for this most excellent one-stop octave and gated dynamic fuzz pedal: If I were sensible, I’d keep this and sell my Octabvre and Doom instead and pocket the sizeable cash difference.
  12. I managed to get close to the Ain’t Nobody sound with pedals. It sounds like a narrowish pulse wave. I used an Octabvre into a Mastotron (pulse width quite narrow) into a downsweep 24db filter on the Manta. I favoured the jazz pickup on my PJ as it seemed to give the the sound some thinness. I ran that into an aggressive noise gate on a Sentry. The main stumbling block is getting the filter sweep to reset quickly enough. Playing very tight staccato with the noise gate helped but it think I need to try a bit of compression at the front so I can get the gate tighter.
  13. Marc Doty’s reviews are the most comprehensive and are essential viewing if you’re interested in the models he has reviewed.
  14. These are the demos to watch to get a proper idea of all this can do: It’s a playlist of 10 videos detailing the different aspects of the synth.
  15. This is a fantastic little synth. I bought one for my son. It’s a very capable machine. Doesn’t have full ADSR but is capable of great sounds and has a very powerful sequencer. That demo does no justice to it at all.
  16. Are you getting a custom build and sticking an Octamizer in it?
  17. That’s not actually true, unless you mean top-heavy fractions; there are a fair few keyboard and module synths that are cheaper than the Future Impact eg, Korg Monologue (£230 new, £180 used).
  18. Yep, I very rarely drink and have never taken anything nasty that would tax it, so it’s in prime condition.
  19. And that’s a real shame as it really is fantastic. I was playing it again this evening and am having second thoughts…
