Quatschmacher

My EHX Enigma has its own 9.6V supply. It runs just fine on my 9V Voodoo Lab power block. It does require 180mA though so I run it off one of the 300mA sockets.

When I’m talking about “tight tracking” I’m not talking about latency, but rather it’s ability to latch onto a note without glitches.

That would be my choice too.

Got a shot of a blue one?

This is the second pedal I’ve sold to Ian (Octabvre MkII this time); easy and flawless transaction again with great communication throughout. Many thanks.

399 euros I believe.

It won’t replace the 3 Leaf or Fwonkbeta. Welcome to the club. Check out my resource page if you haven’t already.

What were they going for on Black Friday when everyone snapped them up?

What’s a good price on these? I’ve not really followed that aspect.

The MXR does synthy tone, tracks as well as the BOD. I just sold my Octabvre MkII which is also very synthy (though there is a MkIII due soon which adds an octave up).

The Enzo definitely does phat too. The FI is a synth too. Enzo only has 16 presets but every parameter is accessible from the panel. FI has 99 presets, some parameters can be altered on from the panel but full editing is only possible via computer.

Yep. MXR tracks noticably better. 3 Leaf has way more gain on tap. There’s a second dip switch inside and I’m hoping it’ll mute the lower octave and boost the other. The 3 Leaf is smoother (at the far anti-clockwise end of the tone knob in TIM mode) and deeper. The MXR is bouncier and less subby. I thought the MXR sounded better than the 3 Leaf when both have some dry mixed in as it blends better on the former; on the latter, the two signals remain distinct-sounding.

Look at the Enzo too, it does polyphony. If you’re anywhere near Sheffield then you’re welcome to try my FI.

I have. For reference, I’m using a P bass with flats.

MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and Vintage Bass Octave, hands down. (Heard similar things about EBS Octabass but never played one myself.) Octo-Nøjs didn’t track as low but even tracked all open strings (except E) on a four-string.

Finally. Only taken a couple of years! 😆 (Probably opening myself up for a witty retort.)

Depends if you want to be able to do full patch editing on the unit. Boss can, though I found it fiddly. I think the FI sounds better.

I find the tracking on my Octabvre better than the T-16 I owned. However, I borrowed a T-70 from @tonyxtiger and his has had some resistors altered by Tom at Cog and it tracked almost as well.

I don’t know that model of amp but if it’s like the aux in on my Nord piano then I guess so. Not sure if the level of the soundcard will match the volume of your band though. Part of rehearsal is getting your band levels right.

I play-tested one in an isolated booth in a shop for an hour or so and didn’t care for it. Editing on that tiny screen was a pain and I thought the raw oscillators didn’t sound particularly pleasing to my ears. Others seem to like it and it does a ton of interesting stuff but it wasn’t for me.

Tuner then synth then dirt. Wheb they say that the synth needs to go first, they’re more likely talking about engaged (as opposed to bypassed) pedals as having another active effect before it in the chain (eg distortion) would mess up the tracking. Probably doesn’t matter what order if you were only using one at a time. As I said before, you might wish to have the synth running into the distortion as post-filter distortion can sound amazing.

Interesting, I did wonder.
