Glad to hear you installed with ease One word of advice for these; when you tune your low E and then drop to D and move back up, the E will be slightly sharp. So, I find it best to tune the E very slightly flat, check the tuning of the D and then it's usually bang on when brought back up. Once it's tuned it'll stay in tune, you just have to make sure to check the E as above.

Also, the Tone Hammer isn't hi-fi sounding in my opinion. This is good for me but others may be disappointed.

I'm a big fan of the TH 500. Its tone is almost ideal for me; warm, punchy and with present (but not unpleasant) high end. If you've tried one and found it lacking some trebley-snap, I'd recommend checking the cab you're using to see if you can increase the level of the tweeter/horn. I find using a TH500 and a pair of DB112s I can find warm, wooly tones or growly, aggressive clank from playing with the EQ and with the crossovers on the back of the cabs.

What other pedals are you using with it? I've not used a B3 myself but just looking at its specs online it has a heavy current draw of 500mA. I assume it's fine when you run it on its own?

I reckon it's probably a Warmoth body. If you take the neck off there'll probably be a Warmoth logo stamped or burnt into the neck pocket.

I love me some uke! Currently have some toy ukulele after my cheap soprano died at a house party. I've also got a nice Kala baritone with mango laminate. Doesn't get played as much as it should though

I've been having fun with mine which I picked up this week. Here's something I did the other night which turned out alright. Still getting the hang of looping. http://soundcloud.com/bigbassbob/ditto-messing-around

Aha. A is usually the very lowest I'll go down to with an octaver so for argument's sake let's say that the lowest usable frequency from an octaver would be around 27.5 hz. I'm going to have to do some experimenting to see what is truly the best place for a HPF.

This has got me thinking... has anyone looked at the frequency output of say an octave pedal, say an OC 2 to see what the lowest frequencies are?

My logic behind the placement on my board is that it's affecting my bass' signal in a way that would allow further effects in the chain to respond better. I keep a compressor on the end of the chain to tame any volume spikes from my envelope filter but, as said before, I figure that with my light use of octave and filter I would rather get the full sound of those effects for those brief periods where THAT sound is required.

My essentials are: Tuner, HPF (if the amp doesn't have one), overdrive/preamp and compressor. They don't have to be there but they make my life a whole lot easier.

I can't say I've noticed it affecting my speaker movement as I can't see my speakers but it definitely is handy for taming that boomy, rumbling crap at the far end of the sonic spectrum. I keep mine after the tuner. I don't use my envelope filter and octave all the time so I figured that even if they add some extreme low end back in I'd rather have the character of the effect intact.
