Immo

Just got mine to replace the Mooer Bass Sweeper and I'm blown away. I love how nicely it couples with Emma Electronic DiscumBOBulator. See, Disorder has a CV sockets - including ENVELOPE OUT, and DiscumBOBulator has a SIDE CHAIN INPUT. The DiscumBOBulator is an autowah by default, but if you connect these two, DBB becomes an envelope follower, controlled by Disorder's envelope even if Disorder is turned off; as long as it's plugged in to power source, the envelope - along with its sensitivity knob - works! They could be stacked too, of course.

I'm so glad I bought this. Despite many "for sale since I can't find use for it" threads on our forum, I find it extremely versatile. After some quality time spent finagling with the knobs and getting a feel for it I actually consider it the staple of my board and probably the most versatile pedal in my arsenal. Despite the modest claims it's an octave pedal and fuzz pedal in one, this unit actually is: clean boost overdrive octave fuzz sub-octave fuzz suboctaver synth Depending on setting - and yes, I do get it, 8 knobs is a LOT - I can boost my signal and add a bit of warmth (so useful with envelope filter), add warm, valve-like overdrive, and create layered fuzz, from splatty-but-brassy to octave fuzz sandwitch to synth-like tones. And that's just the Nøjs half. The Okto part can also use it to add suboctave to anything (and dial it from quite typical suboctave sound to synth-like techno subs). Combined with my other two fuzz pedals, it can be used to dial in almost every type of fuzzy goodness, it can doom, it can do occult rock stuff, it can chug, it can also go funky... For the last few days I'm having the most fun with gain rolled down and octave added, creating an "octave blues" tone. What an amazing pedal. If you're opposed to one-trick-pony pedals, this here is... uh, a many-tricks-kelpie.

Not after shipping to Poland. 36 quid for shipping is an OUTRAGE. Thomann ships it thrice cheaper. And Muziker ships it for free. But thanks anyway I'm actually tempted to grab Disorder and Komorebi - the latter offers Chorus and Flanger tones, and has LFO.

COT-50 is a Lovepedal "Chruch of Tone". Mine is modded so it is essentially an overdrive/booster that creates this "British valve" overdrive sound. Great for adding layers to other pedals and pushing the filters, but also great on its own for some hot sounds.

I shall try it. I often use Nøjs only with Gain rolled to almost minimum and Level rolled to 9 o'clock, with Color and Nøjs rolled down, and it becomes a tube-like overdrive which pushes my DiscumBOBulator rather nicely (also adds extra layers to other fuzz pedals). Recently I managed to roll a rather nice sound that I'd describe as "Dark Funk". I like it but it's digital, I'm all analog these days The next Envelope I want to try is Dreadbox Disorder.

My buddy built me a COT-50 derivative tweaked ever so slightly for bass and I made it more ergonomic. It adds the tube-like drive, and more overdrive when boosted, even up to low-gain fuzz levels. It improves the sound of almost any other pedal after it. It would provide what you need, but you need to dial teh drive with Level knob and volume knob(s) on your bass, otherwise it's overdriving constantly. Of course there are diagrams for COT-50 clones that have a dedicated drive/gain knob. That's one idea I'd try. The other is Earthquaker Devices Blumes. It seems to fit your needs quite well.

Using it and my other dirt pedals I even managed to create a massive lo-fi bitcrushed doom sound, which is what I was dreaming of for a while now. Only tested it on headphones so far, and it sounded awesome, but I will push it through my amp's 15" speaker at my nearest convenience. Can't wait.

Now here's something quite different than your typical Muff-like/FuzzFace-like/ToneBender-like fuzz. Emma OKTO-NØJS. While most samples online evoke that funky and synthy stuff, I'm happy to say it dooms as well especially if paired with another dirt pedal. It's fun on its own, of course, but it shines in a company. I love what it can do when coupled with an octave fuzz and/or envelope filter. Of course it has its learning curve. Quality, fit and finish is great. It is also a looker.

Some assembly required.

I put Ernie Ball Bass Flats 2801 (45-105) on my Bronco and they busted the E-string tuner, but I think it was less from all the tension and more from finagling (I had experienced buzz and other issues that made me constantly tune, de-tune, tension and loosen the strings, until it snapped). Anyway, they play nice, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone in doubt since they may cause problems.

First Bass Owned: heavily modded Lotos bass from Bydgoska Fabryka Akordeonów, which - when stock - was a peak bass to get in People's Republic of Poland. My modded example I got at a sorry state - it even had a replacement pickguard made of linoelum! Eesh. 'Go To' Bass: I'm most likely to grab my Bloomin' Bronco - a Squier Bronco that has stock wood and frets - everything else is deliberately swapped. 'Your' Bass: I'm torn between my Franken-Tele (a tribute to '70s Telecaster Bass II) and my TwinSplit (Encore E83 with two split-coils). Totally different sounds, but both are MY sounds.

Yeah, it's a nice instrument. Mostly good quality, though the tuners quickly died on me (one broke and fell apart and others became wobbly) and had to do a costly swap. And while I was at it, nut swap came as well - Tusq XL eats the cheapo plastic for breakfast. I swapped the bridge saddles for more stability, too. The rest of bits is fine. Frets are nicely rounded. Even the stock pickup wasn't half bad, but I wanted it to have more kick. It's a match made in... well, in some cool but formidable supernatural place.

Thanks! I was stepping on a narrow path, but I think I managed to pull that off. Wanted to try a matching pickguard and headstock thing for years now. I need to find a cool Squier decal or sticker to put on the headstock, though. I'm not ashamed of it being a Squier. Don't let it stop you. You can always do racing stripes with a wrap foil. I ordered a furniture decoration from a company that had great reviews on "resilience" and happened to have a perfect pattern on hand. Just asked them to scale it down for me and they did it an no extra charge. Here's a mockup I did in MS Paint before ordering (and deciding I will do the headstock, too) - as you can see the result is very close.

I found this weird thing - Musontek FurFur - when something tempted me to type "fuzz" into search bar of a local e-commerce platform. It immediately caught my attention do to its ridiculous looks, but I checked YouTube and was sold when a guy did nice Iommi with it and decided to chance it for bass. Turned out it is a wonderful general purpose fuzz with attitude and lots of tonal capabilities. It can be fine tuned from regular distortion to outrageous, screaming chugs. With a low gain OF before it it shines even more. It is tiny (think Mooer size), well-made (checked the guts, the PCB is nicer than in EHX stuff!), nicely packaged, and relatively cheap. Controls: FUR = Fuzz RUF = Volume (unity with clean signal at 9'o clock) L/M/H = voicing toggle (actually in a different order - I take it it's a 1-0-1 switch, so I'd argue the letters mean: L = Lancinate (bright), M = Muddy (dark), H = Heaving (medium); if the switch ever breaks, I'll substitute it with a rotary switch putting the modes in more intuitive order). It also has two easy-access trim-pots for BIAS and BODY on the side.

Thanks! To be honest, I fell for the stock Bronco in Tahitian Coral the first time I saw it because the color is just gorgeous and would look great with a floral pattern on the pickguard - so funky! But it quickly went from "funk machine" to "doom machine" since stoner and doom are my genres, and with the pickup that has a lot of oomph it turned out to be great for that purpose. It likes fuzzes.
