Legendary analog bass synth pedal from Chunk systems. Long discontinued and very hard to come by. These units were only handmade between 2008 and 2012 in Australia and sadly the maker disappeared and no longer makes any pedals. It's effectively the legendary and sought after in its own right Brown Dog Gated Fuzz and Agent 00 Funk (which both sell for almost the asking price separately!) in a single pedal, with a VCO and a digital control interface. Unlike modern synth pedals, the audio circuit is 100% analog and the digital elements are just to change and save settings and presets. Around 300 were made. This one is loaded with the last firmware version and has a mix of factory presets (including those made by Jamiroquai/Paul Turner) and my own. I can leave everything as-is or reset the firmware so only factory presets remain, either way I'll include the SD card with everything loaded on. Part of its legend/charm is it's not great to use interface(!), but you get the hang of it. Highly recommend using this website for tips http://www.cgraham.com/chris/music/bass/octavius_squeezer/. Also linked on that site is a spreadsheet I made to document presets, both factory and custom. Pedal is in very good condition, few marks and scratches here and there commensurate with age, works perfectly. No box or PSU, works off a regular 9v regulated supply. I'll try and remember to grab some more pics soon.-

Always a good sign! I think that's the setting I like as well, so I'll hunt out that one, ta! I like the idea of having a compressor block that doesn't have any of the variables available to adjust, so I can't be tempted to mess with it. So if it works, brilliant stuff!
-
Is there any more detail about how V2 is able to capture compressors? Kean to try it out when I get chance,there's a bunch of Cali 76 captures, but can't get my head around how it may work??

Just seen, £2k?! #triptochichestercancelled

But wait, there's more... Coming in a couple weeks.

Do you catch a price? Most decent Ric copies are selling for completely daft money now, but perhaps an old school shop may be more realistic...
-
Happy to 2nd this. I've been using mine since 2022 and its perfect.

An end to price gouging by Viagogo and StubHub?!
Kev replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
How does this impact on Dynamic Pricing? This appears to only apply to resale, whereas Dynamic Pricing is where the real gouging happens. -
You're just baiting now, aren't you? 😅
-
With the same thought process, why do we need any pedals/processors? Why do we spend our bassy lives trying to chase the right amp/bass tone, if none of it matters?

I'd love to try the MXR and the VIP. The MXR has that ease of use that made me HATE the FI v1 I had; I know its come a long way since then, but part of the reason I loved the Deep Impact is that it had everything on the pedal, no PC required etc and the MXR has that too. I tend to completely not get the argument people make when they say they'd rather just play keys to get a proper synth tone. I feel like it's mostly bedroom musicians that think this way, oddly enough I can't just whip out a synth for a middle 8 for most of the venues I play in!
-
I'd agree, but the Oc-5 was the exact same, and I don't really think that was Boss attempting to hype.
-
Pretty much same ETA everywhere at the minute, I scoured earlier and the only place suggesting a quicker delivery than that was Bax Music, which naturally i ignored 😅

For me, this is what I meant by the guy suggesting you should draw your own conclusions from the video. Without playing the pedal, its very hard to get a feel from what tracking and latency issues they may have, as what your eyes see or ears hear are only as important as how it responds to your attack.
-
Ugh. If there's one type of pedal that you can't really draw a consensus on from merely listening, its a synth pedal. Is it worth watching?
