I love mine to bits! Gigged it tonight through an Ashdown 2x10 and 1x15 setup and it was su-perb![/quote] Ahh, didn't realise they were so new, might have to take the plunge and by one new, it is xmas time.......

Not wanting to derail the thread too much, but does anyone know what these usually go for 2'nd hand (assuming people ever part with them)? Really, REALLY tempted.

I use a 3-leaf Groove regulator, amazing filterm it's a trimmed down meatball clone, it preserves your original tone, the main advantage of this is it's useful at all settings, where as some more extreme filters like the mutron and various clones, and even the original meatball have a habit of killing speakers if you're not careful. The GR sounds amazing with a fuzz, and it has an effects loop so you can use fuzzes that might clip it if you put it before it

It might be the sleep deprivation and accompanying paranoia but that seems intentionally antagonizing. I don't surf, but I wouldn't go on a surfing forum and tell them all how pointless their surfboards are.

"This bass has just come out of his shop and it’s newer than new" Ahh, one of those famous Marty McFly signature basses from the future

Sounds very interesting, you have a PM sir

I thought I lost mine a while ago, because it's quite an odd spec I couldn't find a generic replacement, I found some pretty cheap on evilBay though

A lot of its personal preference but there are some general rules, octavers (especially analog ones) are very fussy and need as unaffected a signal as possible I much prefer mine at the front of the chain, but some people like it after dirt. Compressor is a matter of preference, most people put it at the very start or the very end, depending on what you want to use it for at the start will limit the signal going to your pedals, this will affect some of them quite dramatically, it'll improve analog octavers. At the end will limit the signal spike from your pedals, very handy for wild filters, stops them blowing up your speakers. Modulation effects chorus should got toward the end, time based effects like delay and reverd should at the very end. Filter and dirt is another preference thing, they should both go in the middle, between pitch shifting and modulation/delays, but the order is a preference thing, i like dirt>filter because it gives a lovely synth quack, but filter>dirt is a lot more subtle, personally i think it's too subtle, the dirt destroys the filter unless it's a mild/transaprent OD. My general order is: Pitch Shifting > Dirt > Filter > Modulation > Time based

I've got an original black labal japanese octaveR, i payed an extra fiver over a tawianese octave so that I can sell it for £150 on ebay, buy a tawainese octave for £40 and pocket the difference if I ever need it. There's zero difference in sound as far as i can tell, same circuit same components, the process may have changed slightly as I opened mine up and it's on perfboard with everything mounted vertically (it uses a CRAPLOAD of resistors btw, counted at least 35, and germ diodes too), I imagine they switched to pcb's at some point, but I A/B'ed it with a tawianese octave and they sounded identical

Probably a well trodden subject already, but I've got an audition next week for a band, met up with the guys today, nice guys, band sounds good etc., but I've never auditioned for a band before, got no idea what the do's and dont's etc. are, any sagely words of wisdom?

Yea, tbh an exp pedal option would be good, the sensitivity knob give's a really cool sweep, but it's not the end of the world without it, and I'm gonna be borrowing a drum machine to try the triggering trick soon

Right, I'm having some issues with recording, the monitored signal sounds great, but when I try to record it the low notes clip, I got a rough sample down, Turning the gain crazily low made it half ddecent quality but now it's very quiet. The sample follows some vague sense of logic, basically I fiddle with all the knobs L-R, then the switches L-R, then some random settings I like, then there's two fuzzes, the first one is my cherry pop in the loop, the second is my mastotron in front of the GR, then there's some cheesy synth sounds using some other pedals. I apologise for the quality of the sound and the playing, I haven't had enough coffee today and I've just sepnt half an hour trying to MacGyver the audio into life. I'll try to fix it and record some decent clips tommorow clips [url="http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=249504"]here[/url]

And about half the price and a lot more user friendly gonna record some clips now, should be up soon
