I'm painfully stuck between one of these (or the other Bassrigs but seem to be leaning towards the fifteen with all the comments of how well it sits in the mix) and an Anagram - I know they're two totally different bits of kit, but I like shiny new stuff!

I was sold on the Anagram but everyone seems to mention the "feel" element of the Origin Effects stuff and that's huge to me, I can't imagine anything digital replicating that.

My two concerns though - firstly, I spend half of my set using either a solo'd octave or C4 with some gnarly synth patches and I'm concerned the cab sim will cause issues with these, but I'd be reluctant to turn it off if it adds to the feel element..

Second, Headphone practice and C4 patch creation are a big thing for me and I'd need FOH sound available for headphone use when making C4 patches - anyone doing anything similar?  I know this box is ticked off easily with the Anagram..

Sorry for the lengthy post, especially on an appreciation thread!  Any input would be massively helpful though as hoping to order next week...

Top left is my IEM transmitter.

 

The DiCosimo and Broughton are always on effects.  I could use the Stomp HP/LPF (and have done in the past) but the Broughton resonant bump is easier to achieve with the pedal.  The DiCosimo is an easy EQ/boost solution to save going into the Stomp.  

Angled headphone adapter is an excellent idea!

Thought I'd found my board's final form, but then the Bassrig Fifteen dropped, I realised I have no need for two drives, and I decided I preferred the Julia over the Analog.Man (probably going to sell it if anyone's interested). It does leave one loop empty, but it'll be a guest loop or.... something.

 

Love this board!  How do you find the octabvbre and Fifteen play together?  I've always found cab sims take away everything I love from my Octave pedals...

2 week old Tone X One Bass edition - £150 posted or open to trades...

Brand new condition except the registration card is a bit creased and slightly torn which prevents me sending it back. 
 

These are supposed to come with Tone X CS but after a bit of complaining I’ve got a code to get Tone X SE which I’ll include as well. 
 

Unbelievably well thought out bit of kit with some great amp sims and pedal captures, far superior to the HX stuff… just realised amp sims aren’t for me. 
 

the bass edition comes with the bass pack which is £99 bought separately and some some fantastic models - including a ridiculously good GK and a phenomenal SVT as well… any questions ask away!

If I can find a use for it then I'll keep it so only posted while I suss out a use for it

Update: Mine has come off my board and may end up on the F/S section (Little one got hold of the registration card and decided it'd look better creased and torn so can't send it back under 30 days anymore)...

Honestly a great sounding pedal and I'd recommend to anyone after an amp sim. My only issue is my band runs everything through an RCF Evox 12 system with no backline. The details of the amp sims are completely lost on it as it's not the best PA; so I may as well stick with my old school Tone Hammer V1

The software has got better as well  

 

I'd be very interested in your views on the bass systems in there. I suspect others would as well

Software is awful - packaging says it comes with ToneX SE but it actually comes with ToneX CS which is an inferior product and limits what can be downloaded from Tonenet.  The standard ToneX one comes with ToneX SE.  I'd have sent it back for this alone if my youngest hadn't damaged the packaging.

Some of the captures are great - for what I do the clean mix is a godsend as I'm not a fan of Cab IRs without a blend.  There's a night and day feel difference between this and standard modellers though. I saw great reviews about the SVT models but it's the Aguilar and GK Fusion models that have impressed me.  Some of the stompbox drive options are good too. 

Hope this helps... any more info needed let me know!

Unfortunately I lost my battle with GAS and mr DPD delivered the ToneX one bass edition on Saturday...  Set up was every bit as convoluted as people say and I'm still finding my way around the software now but there are some great things in there!

Excellent review... they've certainly done well with the OC-5.  I definitely remember there being a difference in the immediacy of my Octabvre Mini and the OC-5 (I was really rooting for the OC-5 aswell).

Based on your review I may pick one up and give it another go...

Sure the bass pack is £99 though - so if not an existing user the bass edition is definitely better value 

Can't bring myself to buy the new ToneX one Bass as don't really need it but it's actually painful how interested I am in them... anyone pulled the trigger yet?

@thisisswanbon great list! Question, you listed a Joyo Patch Kommander. Do you mean a Hotone, or is it the Joyo PXL? Either way, how did you find it. I'm considering the switching route again, and am looking at some cheaper options before I go for a Quartermaster from GigRig again.

Thanks!

Well spotted!  It was the Hotone Patch Kommander (post corrected).  It was an excellent bit of kit, really intuitive to use and really really handy when trying to prevent tap dancing. 

Couple of niggles that lead to it getting moved on:

• Jacks were too close to each other (too close to make angled cables easy but straight cables too space consuming)
• You couldn't amend pedal order - if more than one switch engaged it stacked from 1-4, no option for parallel or changing stack order

Other than that though, well built and easy to use analogue option!

While these lists are massively impressive - I'm just as impressed that you've all managed to remember them in alphabetical order!

Here's mine - I've starred stuff currently still owned and tallied stuff I've bought multiple times!  It's nowhere near as organised as alot of these lists, or as extensive - but there's some stuff on there I'm really sad to have moved on.

I'd go with the EHX Hotwax for this. 2 distinct drives which are stackable and a universal blend control - fantastic pedal and really well priced.

Well, you can gain access to these new bass ones on any ToneX pedal for the low, low price of €99 by purchasing the whole collection...

That explains why the ToneX Bass is a full £100 more than the standard ToneX! Rediculous really

So the £130 pedal becomes £180 if it's preloaded with presets that I presume you could add to the £130 one? Have I got that right? 

That's how it looks!  Although they're presenting the presets as premium which makes me wonder if they're model specific... Clever marketing I suppose but poor for the consumer

Seems a shame there’s a price jump from the tonex one to the tonex one bass edition though. The promise of a wet dry blend has me potentially sold though - it’ll likely kick my ultra wave and jam rattler off the board and I’ll keep the tone hammer as a DI/tone sculpt 

Boss OC-2 in like new condition (no box) - owes me £150 so will sell for £145 shipped

Only listing until store purchased from come back with returns info - works perfectly I’m just going to stick with my 3leaf octabvre.

Looks like it’s going back!

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, I actually prefer the tone to my octabvre. That being said, the octabvre is close enough that I’d rather just keep hold of it rather than buy two pedals doing the same job - I’ll stick it on the f/s section until richtone come back with return info

Not a bad shout at all!…

just arrived obligatory photo

… I’ve got two OC2s, but would hesitate to modify them. I know they’d be better for it sonically, but I seem to prefer originality. Let us know how easy it is to do, and a before and after sound clip would be very interesting to hear if possible please? 

I'll see what I can do for you pal...

Out of interest, has anyone had any success just putting a boost after the OC2 and kicking them in at the same time?  I hate tap dancing but it seems less likely to result in a broken OC2!

While it's not here yet so technically not my latest pedal - I have an actual OC-2 due to arrive tomorrow after years of trying and testing various clones!  Looking forward to removing the -2 control and seeing how the OG stacks up to my Octabvre mini!

Oh - Ive also had anothet delivery from Overseas which I forgot to put on here.
 

See if you can spot it? 

Delivered on the Ali-Express by any chance? Haha… I’ve just returned the full fat version as it happens - nice bit of kit but didn’t warrant £300 

Selling my Sushi Box Space Heater - it has a power issue which I’m sure someone with more technical knowledge than me could fix - but if I keep it it’ll just sit and rot. It had a new tube recently fitted too. I’ll take £90 and include shipping 

The Issue: original issue was a loss of sound which ended up being a tube issue. Tube had been replaced and all worked well - around 2 months after it began to no longer power up properly with the internal LED now lighting faintly rather than steady. I tried a third tube with the same issue. Also caused my hx one to power off indicating it’s pulling too much power from PSU possibly?

if you can make use of this or have a go at repairing then it’s an awesome pedal that brings an unbelievable tube quality to your tone. I really miss it!

sushi Fx will also repair any of their pedals whilst only charging for parts - so that’s something to consider too but I just haven’t got the time.

Aguilar Tonehammer preamp V1 -£120

Well used but works a dream - these pedals are absolute tanks. No box or power supply but psu can be bought cheap enough. Battery compartment screw also missing but securely taped shut 

Selling as moved onto Aguilar AG preamp

can ship for £5 securely
