Bootsy Collins is pictured with their gear... www.pigtronix.com check out their stuff...ya never know, maybe something to suit you.. if theyre already mentioned somewhere, my appologies!

Immo Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I know I'm digging up pretty long forgotten (and virgin) thread, but I'm amazed nobody else had an experience with ANY Pigtronix effect. I have the [i]Mothership[/i] thing and I must admit it's one hell of a crazy sound generating gismo. Using it with bass is really difficult (hard to find a correct setting) and hazardous (some noises could bring Men in Black to your home) but it's really cool. I kinda GASsed for it after seeing a demo on YT, bought it on eBay for very good price and discovered it's not so versatile with bass as with a guitar, but my high output basses - T-40 and Telecaster Bass - communicate with it pretty good. For bass it's mainly useful to 'synth the sound a bit' or 'deliver low-end weirdness' for a moment. With a guitar it could be used constantly, I guess, and simply sounds better (see [url="http://www.pigtronix.com/products/mothership/"]http://www.pigtronix.com/products/mothership/[/url]). I'm pretty sure the overall design and components used are the explanation for the price, but I'm not sure it really pays to buy this for bass if you're only going to use it for few songs for a moment. But none the less I decided to keep it, as it really gives that '[i]something[/i]' to my pedalboard... And maybe I've missed some setting that brings something really great? When I'll get my [i]EHX BassBalls[/i] and custom slow attack effects, maybe I'll discover something really astounding with [i]Mothership[/i]? As for the other effects by Pigtronix, I'd be really glad to test the [i]Tremvelope[/i] and [i]Envelope Phaser[/i] (GASsing for both.).

Pob Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If you're of a techy bent their Keymaster is a pretty amazing thing. I use it all the time for reamping stuff, a great and flexible routing gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Dude I've got two motherships if you wanna buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttitudeCastle Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've got a philosophers tone, great compresser, and the grit knob ands some old school fuzz it's a nice little thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Mothership's GREAT with EHX BassBalls - these two combined deliver really great and unique funky vibe. I just can't wait until the day I'll be able to buy Pigtronix Envelope Phaser, that'll be even better! Edited March 22, 2012 by Immo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I love Pigtronix pedals. I've got the Polysaturator and the Envelope Phaser and they are both killer pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
