I used to have one of these and changed it for a BB preamp instead....the BB might be smaller, but the Fulltone absolutely comes to life with the mosfet, especially if you run it at 18v. Free bump for a top pedal and decent price!

[u][b]FULLTONE BASS-DRIVE MOSFET[/b][/u]
This is quite a rare pedal, I've never seen any other for sale on any european Internet forum (just eBay and it goes for about 200£ plus shipping from the USA). It has all the controls of the regular BASS-DRIVE plus a switch for using a MOSFET gain stage instead of the regular one. Great sounding, and as I've said before, quite rare.
Crappy demo I did some time ago:[url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFdKqpUY7O8"] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFdKqpUY7O8[/url]

I bought one off this very forum, loved it dearly for a few years and then sold it back here too. Great pedal, replaced it with a BB PreAmp in the end, but do miss the switchable second stage. Good luck with the sale, the market rate must have doubled up if it's going for £200 on ebay - it runs very well at 18V too for additional headroom. -

A while back I mentioned I'd record a demo of the 3Leaf Octabvre. Here it is:

Thanks for the demo - always keeping an eye out on new Octavers and this is certainly a great option. -
This looks fantastic! If my EBS MultiComp ever dies, this will be atop the list.

Liking the BB set up. Love my Preamp, wouldn't get rid of it. -

It's more of a practical 'gather all my floor stuff in one place' board, than a vast array of freaky sounds.

If only we could all approach effects like that! I used to have so many silly pedals which were rarely used in songs...but they were lots of fun and I did have space for them. -
Great pedal. Replaced mine with a BB Preamp, but always loved this guy. Best of luck with the sale.

WOBO looper, rare as hen's teeth! If I didn't already have one of these I'd be snapping it off you; best of luck with the sale.

For the first time ever, I have more than one pedal, so I thought I'd make a mini board:

He he cute as f##k. Great design work too. -
Just to reiterate what everyone else has already said (!) check out Bassfuzz.com. Great demos that will give you a good idea of what might be up your street.
£100 will buy you a lot so you don't have to compromise too much. I picked up my SS/BS Team Awesome Fuzz Machine for less than that and it has been my fuzz of choice for over a year now. Prior to that I loved the EHH Bass Big Muff, only problem is the lack of control over the dry blend but a simple mod will solve that if you're good with a soldering iron. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it isn't good!
I've never tried the Tall Font but have almost pulled the trigger 3 or 4 times, it's probably the best modern Russian muff out there, IMO. If you fancy a versatile gated fuzz, check out the Iron Ether Oxide, I got my for £80 - between that and my TAFM I can nail pretty much any Fuzz sound that I want to use.
Fuzz is a pretty personal thing at the end of the day, I reaaaalllly can't stand a number of very popular pedals touted frequently on this forum and also on TalkBass, but that's just me. Best of luck finding the right one for you mate. -
The EHX Freeze would do exactly this, as its purpose is to freeze a note indefinitely (minus the volume control - but you could put it in a loop with a volume pedal to get a similar effect). Would be a comparatively cheap solution as well.

Saw them in Manchester two weeks ago and they were INSANE. -

The oxide I had (2013 build) was very high gain as I recall, as with all the IE units I have had (pretty much all). Either the circuit was revised or you have a faulty unit, ask Taylor the question, the answer would probably help your sale!

+1 Mine is goddamn loud! Can't really run either volume above 12 o clock or it gets a bit silly. -
Sounds samples are interesting, great combination with the Xero Delx. Bet it sounds massive in real life.
-
My vote would also be for the BB Preamp - very powerful 2 band eq too.

Same set up he was using last time I saw them - seeing them again at ArcTangent and 2000Trees this summer, can't wait! -

Good point. And breaking mxr pedals is a bad idea since they won't send schematics out to repairers, even for pedals that aren't produced any more. Customer service at it's best...

That is absolutely ridiculous isn't it?! -
Free bump - great price at £32 posted.
-
All about the tuner, preamp and compressor. I love my fuzz, octave and overdrive pedals as well though...
-
Yep Kev's right - you want an old Sovtek Russian muff? Just buy a Wren & Cuff Tall Font Russian and be done with it!
-
Looking good Ant - what are you using the B3 for?
-
Cheers for the post, definitely a pedal that's been on my radar for a while. Any chance of some comparative sound clips dialed with the same settings to show the difference?
-
Sounds more like it's your amp clipping? Try turning down your bass a little and give it another go. Your OC-2 will be putting out quite a hot signal to deal with - I know I've mashed up my old practice amp by overloading the input stage.

Analog man mini chorus - with an added deep setting and mix control knob its amazing.

+1, love mine!
Before I upgraded to it I used a Boss CEB-3 for years, also a great pedal and can be had for cheaps. Well worth the £40 you can get em for second hand.
