is the time force any good, tone wise etc @skidder652003?

not mine but Nimbus on ebay for £150 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Iron-Ether-Nimbus-Bass-and-Baritone-Reverb-Effects-Pedal/233113106037?hash=item36469fb675:g:G3oAAOSw-iZcT3jq:rk:13:pf:0

I did get one of these... sounds great on guitar. But on bass, octave up only tracks down to D below lowest E on a guitar. Lower than that, the octave resorts back to original pitch in a boomy sort of way!

@Quatschmacher Yes, the Valeton is the glitcher

Hi folks 🙂 So recorded some clips of Boss OC2 and Valeton OC10. (The OC2 is the Japanese 'Octaver' model that requires the 12v input or needs to be daisy chained from LS2 or similar). Recording chain: Ibanez EDB600 active bass > TC Spectracomp > VOX Lil Looper > BOSS LS2 > Loop A: OC2 > Behringer UMC404HD > Cubase > Loop B: OC10 I looped a line with the LIL Looper and A/B'ed it with the LS2 Part One : Clean line once, then alternating between OC2 and OC10. Part Two: Shorter line alternating between OC2 and OC10. To my ears the OC10 has a higher low mid quality to it, and has peaks/distortions in that area, in certain parts of the line. This makes the OC2 slightly warmer and rounder sounding. Maybe the OC10 could be EQ'd to make it sound slightly warmer and less gain/passive bass might reduce the peaks, but for my set up the OC2 sounds better. How do these sounds compare to the OCTABVRE, @Quatschmacher? With headphones's I noticed some noise between my notes, and a little quiet glitching at the end of the alternating line in 'Part Two'. Is this usual or due to not enough damping of strings/Active bass? OC2 and OC10 part one.mp3 OC 2 and OC10 part two.mp3

Nice one Jo 🙂 subscribed

Hi @tonyclaret I was came across settings earlier here, post 533. i don't even have a helix but have been looking into them after so much mention on here!!!!! https://www.talkbass.com/threads/line-6-hx-effects.1324948/page-27

Thanks guys 🙂 just ordered OC 10 from donnerdeal.com for £32! They have 10% off at the moment

Thanks @Quatschmacher Still haven't got round to using the hub but it's on my list!

@operative451 I use the Zoom for mainly delay ,reverb and modulation. I prefer the EHX Epitome for an octave up, and OC 2 for octave down. I also prefer filter and synthy sounds from the SA Manta and Sonuus Wahoo. I find these alternatives to sound less 'artificial' than the zoom. I also like having two effects loops via the LS2, and that way always have the option of blending two quite different sounds E.G Octave down (OC2) with Fuzz (Fog) and filter sweeps (Wahoo) with second loop of Octave up with reverb (Epitome), filtered delay (Zoom) and Univibe (V Wah).

A bit of a messy work in progress! Bass - Spectracomp - LS2 - Loop A: OC2 - Mooer Fog - Columbus Chorus - Sonuus Wahoo - Arion Delay , Loop B: SA Manta - Mooer Pure - EHX Epitome - Zoom B3- Boss V wah. Have yet to hook up SA hub for Manta presets.

Great, thanks so much @Quatschmacher !
