Using pedals without a looper is "baby games" as Sean Hurley likes to put it. It's a necessity and the ML10X is one of the best. GLWTS

I need to add one thing: TST (DI) plus the Fake Plastic Trees is an unbelievable combo. Sounds and FEELS like playing through a tube amp more than any other pedal combo I've used. It's a shame more bassists don't know about or use AK stuff.

So what does it actually do? I’ve always been curious, they are always a high price for a one knobber!

 

no judgement there btw just genuinely interested x

I bought the DI version recently and really enjoy it for playing through cans. I generally use my LA-1A for a clean, tube sounding DI but I feel like the DI attenuates the highs a bit, and there's always compression. The Small Trees DI is smaller and maintains all the highs as well as warming up the sound to "fill the gaps" that solid state just doesn't do typically. It's not an absolute tradeoff for the LA-1A since both have their advantages. But in a nutshell, TST warms things up nicely. I had previously contacted Steve at AK and believe the version for sale here should be upgradeable to the DI version (same enclosure) and you may even be able to do it yourself with the parts sent to you.

Great pedal! Someone will be happy. 

It’s very difficult to get a bad sound out of this pedal. Nice sweetening of the tone. GLWTS

@charlietuna the Broughton?

Thanks Q for the head’s up.  I have one already.   I just need to pop it in front of my synth chain. It can help clean up and shape a signal quickly. — OptiFet is a great comp as well.

This will definitely be useful to cure someone's GAS...

Best bass for covering Green Day's Dookie album.

Looks like they got Pearl Necklaced.

This seems to have some crazy sounds available but at a steep price.  Hopefully they do a second batch and you can snag one.  We all would like to hear what you come up with.    For me, a used Mastotron seems to be more in the cards, 😂 

I have two of these and they can handle anything you throw at them. Holy grails of 12” cabs.  GLWTS.

Thanks @Quatschmacherbut I’m a little tight right now. The JoshWah sounds great in your clips and has some sounds I haven’t heard from another other filter.  GLWTS funkydoug

Pete was great to work with, one of the best communicators I’ve worked with on a purchase. ABM115 was as described and was packaged well with great labeling.  I would not hesitate a moment to deal with him again.  Thanks Pete!

The laser sounds are just from a high setting of the filter resonance, though they might seem intensified by the delay and reverb.

Listening back I hear how the delay and reverb are contributing to the sound.  Can't wait to try the Collider in this type of setup, whenever that may be.  Thanks.

Here's a clip; this uses the octave in the Okto Nojs, same principle though.

That’s cool as hell, I remember listening to it previously. What is making the “laser” sounds/bloops? Is that a Collider doing?  

Someone wrote me on TB after I recommended he try this pedal:

”I actually just landed an Okto Nojs myself......and it's just perfect. Octave tracks amazingly and sounds great just as an analog octave. And A/Bing the Nojs with my Doom 2 - I think I may end up getting rid of the Doom and cancelling my Octabvre pre-order. With both Okto and Nojs turned on, it does - by itself - everything I wanted out of the Doom 2 / Octabvre combo.”

GLWTS!

@Quatschmacher

Ship to Czech Republic possible? Obviously I would cover the shipping.

This has sold a while ago, yes?

Wow, still here? Methinks folks do not know what this bass can do.  I have the 4-string version and the neck is unlike anything I've felt from Fender.  Reminded me more of a Lakland.  These have quite a cult following in the US.  GLWTS, she's a beaut.
