I WANT YOUR BOX OF MEAT.

I've only had a little tinker with my Oxide, but between that and my TAFM I think I have the fuzz to end all fuzz.

ebay?

I was always like this as well, even when an audience member would give me a compliment - I don't know why, but I don't think there's anything particularly outstanding about what I do as a bass player, I just try and fit in with the band as best I can!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1339498123' post='1689230'] I don't get why blues rock means you can't use any fx? I used to play blues rock & used fx. [/quote] +1 I see no reason why fuzz, chorus, reverb etc. wouldn't fit in nicely. I'd definitely be using an octaver.

Not been a problem for me with my Ampeg Combo, and it's just a solid state jobby.

The Agro and the TAFM are very different beasts. I love my TAFM, can't recall my settings exactly but I pretty much 12 o'clock everything and favour the treble side of the EQ.

The OC-3, being digital and polyphonic, is pretty damn spot on - that's why I've kept it out of all the different octavers I've had, even the Aguilar Octamizer. The OC-2 doesn't track as well, nothing below open A really, and it's monophonic. That said it stills tracks reasonably and is a big favourite amongst bass players for its dubby, signature sound. Great pedal. The OC-2 mode on the OC-3 does a good impersonation too.

Top bloke, I've just sent a pedal his way - lighting fast communication (geddit?!) and an all round easy deal. Cheers!

So a week last Monday I finally got to try out my new haul of pedals to see what would be staying and what would be going: The M9 is definitely a keeper, it does all the reverb, modulation and delay stuff I was hoping it would and much much more - so much pedal for the price. The Nose2 expression box goes with it - disappointed that it's made out of pretty cheap plastic but it does the job for small expression adjustments. Still looking to get an expression pedal regardless, tempted by the pitch glide capabilities. The Oxide is everything and more I had hoped it would be too , which is fortunate because I'd hankered for one for a bloody long time. It was expensive but I guess it was worth it - sounds sick with my Xero Deluxe! The BB preamp fought a close battle with my Fulltone Bassdrive, but considering I don't really use the boost function on the Fulltone that will be hitting the classifieds when I can be bothered to list it. Both fantastic pedals, but the BB wins out for me only because it's smaller and currently I don't need the extra functionality of the Bassdrive. When the Analogman chorus came up on here I couldn't resist it and I wasn't disappointed - will be great when I don't have space for my M9 and just want a simple chorus for modulation. Knocks the crap out of my old beloved CEB-3. And then here enters the inevitable uncertainty of buying so many pedals - I am stuck on the Orbit and the Octamizer. I expected to LOVE the Octamizer (and indeed it does sound incredible) but for some reason I'm still drawn to the polyphonic digital tracking of my trusty OC-3 (heresy, I know!). The Octamizer is by FAR the best and most versatile octaver I've ever had the pleasure of playing through, but I guess I'm a digital boy, so to speak. Like the Fulltone, this will be on the BassChat classifieds soon when I can be bothered to list it! The Orbit is a crazy one - it morphs from a tight gated fuzz (which the Oxide does very well too) to some mental ring moddy craziness, which just gets more crazy when you add an expression pedal to the mix. I think I'll need a little more time to figure this one out and decide if it's for me. I was taken in by the electronica style capabilities of the pedal but in truth my band don't really do anything like that any more so perhaps it's a little superfluous... Great pedal though regardless. I'll have a picture of my final layout in a few weeks time - hopefully by then I'll have worked it all out but it's looking plenty fun for sure.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1339048638' post='1682795'] They're MUCH louder than you'd think! [/quote] +1 they are surprisingly powerful little beasts.

Yep the OC-3 has a reasonable drive section, a friend of mine uses it purely as a dirt box. I've used an OC-3 for years now, just tried to replace it with an Octamizer but the clean polyphonic tracking of the Boss still won out. Regardless of the distortion, I love the Polyphonic mode, I run the range on full, and the OC-2 emulation is pretty spot on too. I tried out the MicroPog, it's a great all in one solution if you want an Octave up too, but down is good enough for me.

Ahhh an AdrenaLinn, never seen one on a board before, just as an advertisement in a magazine ages ago. What is it like then?

Yeah looks good so far, I hope he keeps it up.

I've completed it too, best of luck in your course.

I just don't know about this. Sure is distinctive though.

It does have a parallel out, yep. Combine it with your engineers DI box and you're good to go.

Yeahhh my bandmates have held this as a permanent source of amusement, as have past partners when they have found out. Doesn't bother me though.

Bought a pedal from Alan, great deal and everything was super smooth. Top guy to deal with, thanks a lot mate.
