I currently have the oc2, ebs, mxr, and dod octoplus. I've also got the whammy and digitech bsw both of which do a decent octave. I've also used the ehx and Aguilar. However the latter two didn't stand out for me sound wise It's absolutely crucial to find the one that sits best with your playing in a mix. I spent hours with both the mxr and ebs going head to head. I went with the ebs initially, but found for me that it didn't sit right in my mix. However once I got the mxr it all worked perfectly for me. The dod and boss have their own distinct and individual sounds and have definite uses for certain genres. I have to say that I love all of them in differing ways

Bought a bass from Ben. A thoroughly nice and personable chap, both online and in person. I would happily deal with him again anytime! Cheers

If they work independently- it is most likely a case of keep trying. They way I do it is to practice the bass part until I don't have to think about it actively, and then that releases my head to concentrate on the vocal side of it. Practice will make it better

I have the Zakk wylde black label chorus. It's exactly te same as the m234 analog chorus. Love it to pieces I still have a soft spot for my trusty old ceb3 and ce5 (on which the m234 is based), and my Marshall supervibe.

These jags are amazing basses. I played one back to back with a '72 p, and I would easily have chosen the jag over the p even if cash were no object. Btw love the phone!

^ what he said

Mail order bride?

Very nice Is it just me or does the control plate look crooked though

I always had the same problem. As mentioned above the dry mode is the way forward. The bfd I find to be more versatile. With the separate controls for dry and fuzz give some really thick sounds in the mix

Dudgeman- are you using the ve20 for vox or something else mate?

It was great to meet you Ant. I'm looking forward to seeing you grow and improve!

Fair points about the auto wahs, I was trying to make a sweeping generalisation to emphasise the differences between pedal and actual wah. Point taken!

It's also important to recognise the difference between auto wahs/ envelope filters and wah pedals. The wah pedal relies on the movement of your foot to change the tone, whereas the auto wahs and filters use a preset threshold where the peak of our playing controls the change in tone I hope this makes sense

As does the ibanez weeping demon

So it's happening then! Looking forward to more details - and perhaps a slap ban!

On a budget, the Marshall echo head works well and can be found s/h for about £35. It only does delay, but it has six modes including quite a tasty analog emulation and can use tap tempo. Reverb wise, the Marshall reflector does it's job well on a budget. The Mooer Ana delay seems to be being mentioned a lot in these parts, and the ehx memory toy does well for its money.

Useful clarification there. Thank you

I saw mark hoppus from blink 182 using one once. Thats the highbrow player content for this thread done :-)

I've resigned myself to the same thing now. I'm actively looking for a donor pedal to provide the knobs.

Maybe it'll work for the spandau ballet stuff in the function band set

I emailed digitech yesterday asking about replacement knobs for a meatbox, whether they have stock / know of a source etc...... And I got this reply: Chris, Unfortunately, we have no more knobs for the DOD Meatbox. Regards, DOD Support Helpful huh?
