    True. I just checked out a couple of videos. One was a guy just playing the unit without any indication of the patch. It was clearly recognisable to me as the MF-101 sound though. One of the bass synth models has both saw and square available if you feel like your MBSS is lacking.

    OC-3 might be digital if I recall correctly. I tried it but didn’t like it. Incidentally it sounded better plugging into the “guitar” input as opposed to the “bass” one.
  4. Quatschmacher
    Interesting device, and something I’ve never checked out until now. Have you tried using the built in MF-101 or Z-Tron filter patches or any of the bass synth models?
  5. Quatschmacher
    I actually saw a recent interview and pedalboard discussion with him and he’s actually using an OC-3 and MXR BOD currently.

    This thing is seriously the bomb.

    It’s parallel so whatever is in the loop doesn’t get applied to the clean, octave down and octave up channels. Basically the original input signal gets split in two; one side feeds the loop, the other side feeds the clean, octave up and octave down knobs. You can get the same effect by running your bass into an LS-2 on A+B mix mode, putting octaver in channel A and other effects in channel B.

    Easier to just prefix the thread title with “WITHDRAWN” as they catch those quickly. It’ll also stop you getting any further queries before the mods get to it.

    And sold.

    Whilst I agree that the copy sounds a tad hyberbolic, Mike Beigel has created some of the world’s best-loved pedals (Mu-Tron III, Bi-Phase, Octave Divider, Q-Tron, Q-Balls) so it’s a fair bet this will be good.
  11. Quatschmacher
    If you’re even vaguely thinking of getting one, do it quickly as his stuff sells out really fast and then it’s really hard to get. I wanted a Micro-Tron III but have never found one and now from that link I saw that they recently made a batch of black ones which are also now all gone.

    Even just voice memos recorded on a phone will give a rough idea. The Mastotron is great. (I’d have suggested checking it out at Wunjo but I bought the last one they had, though I’m sure they’ll restock.) It doesn’t do all the self-oscillation that the FFF does but does what I wanted it to do and more.
  14. Quatschmacher
    I’m very happy with the Mastotron and won’t be parting with it but the FFF looks like it offers some other cool stuff. That’s very kind of you, thank you. It’s sadly a bit far as I’m in Sheffield. I’ll be down later in the year so if I still haven’t tried one by then, I’ll drop you a line. I guess I could always buy one online and return it if I don’t like it. There was also one on eBay recently but I was on the fence so didn't bid.

    I’d generally be using such a thing with an octaver before it and both running into a filter to get synth-like sounds. P bass with flats too. The other thing which gives these a synth vibe is the heavy gating (notes cutting dead as soon as you mute) as it is similar to the hard key-on/key-off gate of a keyboard. The Mastotron does this so I was wondering if the FFF did this too. Do you have any sound clips?
  16. Quatschmacher
    Touché!
  17. Quatschmacher
    Thanks to @GisserD for giving me the final bits of information/playing samples to give the push to try this pedal out and ultimately buy one. Anyone interested in aping synth sounds would do well to pick up one of these. The tight gate gives a very keyboard-type response to the notes (hard note on and off) and with it you can create interesting attack transients. It also does “regular” fuzz sounds if you want to rock out. Sadly the demos don’t really do it justice.
  18. Quatschmacher
    Is anyone using or has anyone used one of these? I’d be interested to read your thoughts on it. I’m particularly interested in whether the gate can get really tight and how it fares in the creation of synth-type sounds (alone or in combination with other pedals). There doesn’t seem to be much written on the forum about this.
  19. Quatschmacher
    Still not received it. I just checked out the Slowlight Quartet videos and really enjoyed them. Have you heard the album “Flight” by Dave Stapleton? I think you’d enjoy it

    Sadly I’m trying really hard to rein in my spending and am sticking to a one-in-one-out policy (and I’m currently waiting for one to go out).
  21. Quatschmacher
    The Enigma is a great filter pedal by the genius that is Mike Beigel (of Mu-Tron fame). Good price too. I’ve always been tempted to get a second one and have it modified so that the distortion trimpot is controlled by an external knob and to have a master volume control added.
  22. Quatschmacher
    That’s beautiful. The strings remind me of Ravel and do I detect an Avishai Cohen influence on this track? (I don’t mean to say it sounds derivative in any way; I mean it as a compliment.) There is some kind of glitch on my browser (safari on iPhone) which means it keeps looping without ever getting to the outro. Do you have a link to the track somewhere else as I’d love to listen to all of it.
  23. Quatschmacher
    This is partly what swung it for me to keep it. I just ran a Mastotron into this and it is brilliant. Also, I had a longer play around with many of the other filter settings and tweaked them and found a few more great things in there.
  24. Quatschmacher
    @radiophonic?
  25. Quatschmacher
    I’m sure if you’re reading this you’re already aware of this great envelope-controlled filter. If not, check the video review below. A host of synthy goodness and “standard” wah is available from this. N.B., this is the earlier, 5-knob version. Can post same day.
