I'm told that it's pretty much the only boss pedal not to have had the components / board change over it's production run, making each pedal identical except cosmetically

w*nking over a Victor Wooten tune?

surely VW does enough of that for everyone

I'm using a pork loin atm. it can do light grit really well.
you'll have to play with the internal trim switches a little (a very easy thing to do!!), but there are some huge tones to be found here.
the clean blend is invaluable

ehx signal pad on one channel (the loudest one)

less than £40. Job done

boss ab2
homemade tb loop doubling as ab

over the years i have used a fair few wireless systems - AKG, Audio Technica, Nady Bass specific, Sennheiser. Then, as have many found here, discovered the x2 system (now rebranded as Line 6 relay g30)

for me it was an absolute revelation. i get the exact sound from my bass with no issues with companding / expanding - which all analogue systems use.

these can be found used for somewhere around the £120 - £130 mark (around £230 new) , and IMO and IME they are worth every penny.

pm'd re gator board/ block

Steve Harris, Distortion ?

plus
2 ukes, 8 guitars, 1 banjo, alto sax, tenor sax, tyros keyboard, pot noodle horn

they seem to have stopped stocking them since i last ordered them.
i can find the other way round - ie stereo socket to mono plug (av17285), and mono 1/4" to stereo 3.5" (av 17274)
but alas not the exact match - Sorry

cpcfarnell have them

i own an oc2, dod octoplus, ebs octabass, MXR bod.
They all have their own foibles and features.
the oc 2 doesn't often come out, as i find the tracking a little iffy, but equally love the sound
octoplus - my go to octave for ages, the only one i found with a tone control for the odctave ( others use switches for setting the range of the octaved note), great warm sound, set well, it will track really well.
EBS - really clean sound, can get synthy using the switching options, but i found it too clean for my current needs. I'm sure it will return for other projects. it terms of sound, think Earth Song by michael Jackson
MXR - Love this pedal. Has the gritty sound of the oc2 available as the Growl control, and seemingly cleaner option with the girth knob. it's great to mix these two distinct voices together to create anything from subtle thickening to almighty God like walls of massive. Size wise it's awesome (although similar size to the ebs). Has a mid boost switch which really helps in a band mix too

I've also spent time with the EHX octave multiplexer. Sound great sounds to be discovered here. well priced, has a great vintage-y vibe to it. well worth the relatively meagre asking price IMO.
As always try before you buy
hope all this lot helps

cheers dude

where did you get yours from?

too late! Boo!

do you have pics?

the hills guys IIRC generally tend to use MM or Jazz. I seem to remember Tobias (waaaaay Back), and the occasional P.

just try as much as you can and just find something that suits you and has a good, solid fundamental tone.
