    @Proton Lenny, will you be reviewing this?
  2. Quatschmacher
    This looks and sound very promising: @tonyxtiger, @andybassdoyle, @GisserD, @CameronJ, @ash, @Al Krow, @Bo0tsy, @dodge_bass, @lee650, @radiophonic, @W1_Pro

    I’ll consider trades against the following (with cash adjustment as appropriate), in no particular order: Fender USA Jazz Deluxe (pre-Elite model), white with rosewood board; Fender USA FSR 75 Jazz, white/rosewood or natural/maple; Fender Japan 75 Jazz white or natural/rosewood; Fender Nate Mendel Precision; Markbass Little Mark III or Tube 500; Markbass Traveler 210 or 115; Aguilar Tone Hammer 500; Moogerfooger 101 and 103; Moog or DSI/Sequential synths; Arturia Matrixbrute.

    Was this my old one? Really skanky juicy filter.

    I’m moving this on as I’ve hardly played any fretless in the last year and could do with the money for other stuff. This started life as a fretted instrument which I bought from @drlargepants of this parish. (He bought it new and I still have the receipts and case candy.) I then took it to Jon Shuker for the defretting work, which is therefore of top quality. It has sycamore inserts in place of the frets. It retains the classic look as from some angles it looks like a standard fretted bass. It’s in outstanding condition and still plays like it did after the setup. Nice low action. Lovely custom shop pickups. Very superficial board wear only as it’s only ever been played with flats (40-100 Chromes) since the defret. Comes with the Fender-branded slim black leather-bound case. It’s pretty light. I’ll get a weight figure if anyone is interested. Collection from me in Sheffield preferred, though I may be able to bring it on a train to, say, London, Newcastle, Bristol/Bath, Manchester and combine with a visit to friends. Any further questions, please ask.

    I didn’t read it like that. To me they were simply saying they’d decided to stop producing them and so would keep making them until their current component stocks were depleted. It’s the same way they worded their release saying that they had discontinued the Minimoog reissue.

    The tone control is useful as is the mode switch when using this pedal without a dirt pedal and running into a filter; the extra fizzle gives the filter something to chew on. Aside from that, I pretty much use it in Tim mode with the tone fully anti-clockwise. The dry switch is pretty useful though.
  8. Quatschmacher
    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.

    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.

    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.
  11. Quatschmacher
    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).
  12. Quatschmacher
    The Octabvre is a wonderful pedal (have one too).
  13. Quatschmacher
    Better rebuy these while I can, discontinued as of now: https://www.moogmusic.com/news/farewell-moogerfooger

    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.

    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

    After listening with headphones, it seems like it’s actually the narrow pulse:

    ... or buy a Behringer Model D for £285, which is a dead-on Minimoog hardware clone.
  19. Quatschmacher
    @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.

    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.
  21. Quatschmacher
    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.

    Marc Doty’s reviews are the most comprehensive and are essential viewing if you’re interested in the models he has reviewed.

    Are those your real breasts?

    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.
  25. Quatschmacher
    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.
