I second this. I think the B3 was the firsst multi effects unit that sounded and worked as well as 'proper' pedals.

There was one for sale on here yesterday.

ok so would the t16 fair up well against the mxr BOD, Octamizer etc?

Actually when I asked last there was a 6 week wait or something but i'd need it soon.

I preferred the T-16 sound but BOD tracked way better for me.

T-65 and T-16 have the same circuit. There appeared to be some residual bleed for the former’s octave up circuit. If you want full-on synth then the octave up is useful.

Oh you meant the Cog t16, sorry I was talking about an Octamizer

 

Octamizer also has an older model. Identical innards. If you want to use right-angled cables you’ll need to new one. Identifiable by “DC” instead of “DC IN” on top and a flat screw for the battery drawer as opposed to the knob. 

Might want to correct the spelling in the title as it may not turn up in a search.

If it's the one in Bass Direct, I've been rather tempted for a few days as well.

Indeed it is.

It’s funny when I bought my OW Jazz from Dawson’s I was desperately trying to find one of these but they’d all gone. 

You then bought that off me, and now you’re selling this. Hmm.  

I’m only thinking of letting it go for that Oly White Lakland I showed you (or the US version I know someone on here has). I don’t want to get it refinished. 

I’m not a big fan of 3TSB and this was the only colour these came in.

Yours is for sale unless the other one disappears ?

Correct. Basically I want to be sure that if I buy the other mine will have a buyer.

I just wanted one big deep synth with presets

Did you also check out the Matrixbrute and the Pro 2?

The Enigma does look quite nice. It's more of an old skool filter - aimed more at the funk I guess. OTOH it doesn't have LFO (big plus of the Manta), so I'd be looking at a hard cutting trem to mimic the square wave. It's not something I could just play, since I need to go in and out of phase with the trigger. I'm going to keep plugging away with the Manta. It's definitely a pedal that needs to be fine tuned and I've already found some sounds that I hadn't expected. I'm going to need a bigger board at this rate or at least a rethink about priorities! 

The Enigma is great and does the Q-Tron stuff and more (both designed by Mike Beigel of Mu-Tron III fame). Actually it is possible to get LFO on the Enigma by using something like a Source Audio Reflex expression pedal or the Copilot Broadcast into the expression input!

If you get a hub, you can set up the expression pedal to bring LFO in and out. It’s a little compromised as the LFO shares the dial with the envelope control but it’s possible to get some pretty cool sounds.

Let me know when you get a hub and I’ll share some presets. 

@drlargepants? @karlfer?

EDIT 16/12/19

I’ve ordered a Lakland PJ so this is now definitely for sale/trade.

These were a limited edition in 2016 and very hard to get hold of.

This is in outstanding condition. There’s some swirling on the pickguard now from slapping and a light lacquer mark on the back of the upper horn (can only be seen by tilting to the light at a certain angle). Very light marking (normal playing wear) from rubbing against clothing on the back that is only visible from a particular angle. (I’m being really picky.) There is no buckle rash.  

Set up by Jon Shuker a couple of months ago with Rotosound Swingbass steel 45-105.

Weight is 4.25kg.

Comes with the fender ABS hard case and all case candy.

Pickup in Sheffield preferred. (I might be able to deliver in person to central London, Bath/Bristol or Darlington combined with a visit to friends/family but only if paid for before I travel.)

Possible trades:

Stingray SLO Special (single H, 2EQ)

Fender USA Jazz Deluxe (pre-Elite model)

Fender 75 reissue Jazz (Japan or USA)

Lakland 44-64 with jazz neck

Lakland 44-60

Sadowsky UV70

Sandberg California VS4 or TT4

Rosewood boards only, please. In natural or white (or Honeyburst in the case of the stingray).

I was not aware you can use a phone... You know somthing I don't, please elaborate

I’m pretty sure I mentioned this to you: MIDI Pad 2 on iOS devices. £3. I have mine set up as below. Each button is a program change number and jumps straight to the stored patch. You can also set it up to send multiple CCs and a host of other stuff. On iPhone the formatting is too small for one page with 128 buttons. There are a couple of improvements I’ve suggested to the coders (such as the option to have the last-pressed button remain highlighted).

Getting a sweep that doesn't dive into subs but still recovers in time for the next note takes a surprising amount of work.

This is true, often backing off the input volume is key. Certainly for the patches I sent, you can leave them set like that and then adjust input volume until the desired effect is reached.

Part of the problem with retriggering is that there are no separate controls for attack and release. The Enigma fares better at this and I’ve dug mine out, got some pretty nice results.

set. I think the tap tempo would be pretty useful on the LFO settings but the switches are just too close together for me to get an accurate tap

You can get an external tap tempo switch cheaply if needed. 

Also, you can hook up to an iPad and use something like Knob Lab to control all the parameters easily. It’s even possible to map several parameters to one knob (with specific ranges for each) to vastly change sounds on the fly!

I'd probably just use my phone - I can't see me wanting more than two presets per gig, but I'd want to have multiple variants of the same patch available for fine tuning. 

If you just need two presets then you can set the hub to write the patches to the hardware preset buttons and just stomp between them.

Moog haven’t emailed me the link to the editor. I understood that happened when I registered it. I’ve chased it up but no response. They are too busy crying about the trade tax on Chinese components. 

That’s right, normally the link comes through automatically as soon as you’ve registered the product to your account. Which reminds me, I need to register mine! 

Did you email [email protected]? I got a response about a feature request I sent to that address. Failing that, it might be worth contacting someone like Adam or Amos directly (usually first name in front of the @moogmusic.com).

You mean the orchestral hits in the end? That's a plugin  Or the melody before that? That's an EWI played through a DSI Evolver. I am Dutch

I meant the single-line melody. I’d like to try an EWI sometime as flute is my main instrument.

Waar in Nederland kom je vandaan?

Crazy. It’s already dirt-cheap.

I used my Sub Phatty in the studio recently on the single for my fusion band Tyranni Flock:

 

And I also recorded some bleeps and blops for another tune of ours, Dive In The Deep, in the EWI solo on our EP. Check it out here

I enjoyed that. What was the lead sound on the outro played on? Are you Dutch/Flemish? Or did you just like the word?

I just traded my mother 32, DAFM, and minitaur for a Subsequent 37 and very much loving it. 

The little boxes are awsome , and different to the sub, but I just wanted one big deep synth with presets since I’m not using the modular stuff in a “performance” way. 

If I need to switch between bass and synth, I need presets. 

Andwith my clumsy sausages  I just find the ARP and sequencing easier on the sub. 

Nice one, you’ll love it. Once I finally get around to downloading the editor, I’ll email you some cool patches I’ve made. 

Yup, the Doom is an excellent dynamic octave fuzz.

Ok, it’s not essential though is it from the get go? I’m not sure if I’ll have much more disposable cash after buying these other pedals to buy one.

Not essential I suppose but to be honest I wish I’d got one way sooner as I lost a bunch of presets I liked because I wanted to save others I was working on. Having the hub takes away that problem. It also allows the use of a regular expression pedal, which can be mapped to any parameter; this means you can vary the sound of a preset easily. 

I’m at the other end of this at the moment. I have 3 fantastic octavers (Octabvre, MXR BOD and Octo-Nøjs) and I'd like to let at least one of them go and am having real difficulty deciding.

Source audio hub allows you to save and recall 127 scenes on all SA pedals.

128 actually, plus the two hardware presets. Definitely get a hub if you’re getting a Manta (there’s no difference, other than cosmetic, between the Soundblox V1 and the Neuro).
