I've got a moog clusterflux sounds amazing on bass fat and full, and can also go crazy!! Also have a cog effects chorus based on the boss old brown chorus that sounds really nice however I just use the moog as its just so good. Andy

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1458410120' post='3007441'] Okay, so the Moog itself doesn't have any presets. But each parameter responds to midi. So, depending on the midi controller, I imagine you tweak the parameters of the Moog to your liking (using the controller), then save those settings as patch/preset 1. Then fiddle around again, and save as patch 2. Each time you select a present, the controller sends an instant message to the Moog setting all its parameters in a particular way. Does that sound like what you're trying to do? [/quote] im getting a buzz electronics 8 channel midi looper, yeh the moog doesnt have presets so would be sending cc commands to change as many of the settings as are needed which would be saved to a preset. was hoping however i could save the guessing at setting and that i could save the dial positions........looks like its the first one.

still looking for help with this if pos the midi set up would be timeline into big sky into moog from my controller which is coming soon. im pretty sure the strymon will say the preset there on when the patch is saved on the looper however i dnt exactly get still how bar guessing to set up the moog. any midi guys out there who can help? ive asked moog and they just sent me the manual which i already have. Andy

For me the tarkin from cog needs to be on that list, awesome deep and punchy fuzz, also love the fuzzrocious grey stache. And very recently got myself a pumpkin pi from green carrot which is brutal! Bit of a plug but I demo all of the one I mentioned in this video http://youtu.be/7cCnca6K5bw However of the ones you've mentioned I've heard good things about the tall font and the swollen is a really cool fuzz

Bump for added video

[quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1457899769' post='3002861'] Isn't this supposed to be very responsive to volume / EQ input and playing dynamics? Maybe thats just how to validate a no knob pedal, but did you find this to be the case? [/quote] yes, is if you play light theres less of a pronounced octave, if you feed it with overdrive or fuzz you get the really heavy octavia kinda sound. im going to do a part two where i put it before everything. Andy

no worries man!

[quote name='uzzell' timestamp='1457891934' post='3002733'] Cheers for this. I had no idea it would be quite that mind boggling. This solution may be a bridge to far. [/quote] yeh and im not even sure that with leads plugged in the delays loop it would work if they werent connected, but by the time you factor even cheap aby's buying a second pedal is probs cheaper. Andy

the only way i can think of wiring that up would be to use a few aby boxes, if you thook a line from the out of the pedal in the chain into the aby, a outlet going an aby then to the mod pedal then out of the mod into another aby. then the a back to the next pedal in the chain. then the b into the effects loop on the delay ( ie you can pick where the mod goes chain or loop) then you would need to take the first aby's b back to the next pedal in the chain, where you now have 2 cables flip the another aby so you you have a and b as inputs and y as your out into the pedal. then out of your loop on the delay you do a similar to the aby we took the the a outlet of the first aby into, use y as the outlet and a and b as the inputs. ive attached a pic there maybe an easier way but to switch it from loop to in the chain takes 4 aby's so probs easier to buy a second modulation to put in the loop [URL=http://s245.photobucket.com/user/0175westwood29/media/delay%20aby.jpg.html][IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/delay%20aby.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1457345038' post='2997464'] Seems to add a huge amount of gain to the clean signal. [/quote] Yeh it's really also a light overdrive

Little demo showing a few sounds from the tentacle http://youtu.be/tUsYTg9ZJ6o Andy

A little bump These two aren't quite interchangeable but depending on my mood can easily use either of these as my octave fuzz. Andy

ive messaged malekko about trying some of the stuff. also funny story on my gig on sat hit the forumla with the octave from my redwitch zeus, and the sound guy had to run over as it was about to blow up the pa! the place was shaking!!!!!

Practice mate sadly, I'm trying to get it down aswell and it just takes time

Simplified the board a bit for a busy weekend gig, also got around to finally getting rid of all the crap patch leads and put in some custom ones to make things a bit tidier [URL=http://s245.photobucket.com/user/0175westwood29/media/DSC_3191.jpg.html][IMG]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/0175westwood29/DSC_3191.jpg[/IMG][/URL] andy

Couldnt resist this one when i saw it in the classifieds! holy crap! what a bloody beast of a fuzz! so big and fat and with the compression dial its a very versatile fuzz as well! and the sound when i fed it into my Vulcan XL was stupidly good! ok maybe not the most defind sound ever but the most crazy heavy sound with a proper bite!! straight on the board for my gig this weekend! Here's a link to the video demo showing some of the sounds http://youtu.be/eemLLWwInr4 Andy

Want to use midi cc commands to send new setting to my clusterflux and wondering if I can set it by turning knobs or not Andy

[quote name='jrobjumpsship' timestamp='1456698474' post='2991615'] Very nice! I was seriously considering a Greystache last year when I was on a quest for my first Fuzz. Ended up with a Hail Satan Deluxe by Abominable Electronics. I can't rate it highly enough! So versatile and plenty of options to still cut through two guitars live. [/quote] Really wanna try out one of those!

Newest video goes live at 9am would love to know what you guys think, Some serious sub octave fuzz from these http://youtu.be/hO0OD7XpQAU Andy

have a controller coming in that will be able to send cc commands to my gear now im hoping to send signals to my Strymon timeline and then on to the my clusterflux, cant find a single video on how to set up the moog, ie can i just set the moog save the setting with the midi controller and then go to another preset and change setting on the moog and save, and then the same again etc? on the moog site it gives a number for the cc's etc but no video. Andy

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1452974993' post='2955314'] Oh I know! On talkbass I've been informing others about the b7k's abilities and I don't even own one. All I meant is I'm interested in the vulcan/xl, and wish thomann stocked them so I could order a b7k, vmtd, vulcan/xl and vt bass di at the same time and compare them. [/quote] if someone was cool enough to lend me a B7k id love to do a comparison, sadly Darkglass cant lend one atm due to demand

Long and multiple notes will be a problem for a lot of octaves, especially analogue ones. might be worth looking into a polyphonic digital pedal something like the new bass whammy or the Pogs from Ehx if you really need those long notes but even they might struggle as the sustain of the note dies. Andy

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1456144709' post='2985792'] I couldn't get this to stream on the weekend - but from owning all 3, the COG was the clear winner for me - what do you think Andy? [/quote] i do really like the Cog, however i still have a really soft spot for the Rat tail, with my rig it sounds really wicked and sits really well in the mix and i like how with the second gain setting boosts the bass when pushed. need to spend a while for a proper play with the cog Andy

So i like fuzz, not everyone's a fan but for me i love them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cCnca6K5bw Andy

i use a ehx pitchfork for doing this, on a gainy sound it works well, can get a bit royal blood. Andy
