[s]This is a lot of fun but I'm in 'downsizing' mode so offering for sale.[/s] SOLD.

It's probably the most versatile pedal I've tried- with the gate, blend, a wide range of drive, and a useful tone control it can do all sorts of distortion and fuzz for bass (and guitar too). Very cool-looking and fun to use - looks and feels like something from a 60's war!

Downsides are that it's a little noisy (nothing you'd notice live or in a mix though) and the fact that the blend control is internal (as shown in pic) but nothing to spoil the fun.

VGC. [b]£85 posted[/b]. please PM if interested.

A video featuring the actual pedal is at [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdqB70WEDnw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdqB70WEDnw[/url].
Bassy bits are at the beginning and at @3:47.

Does it work with active basses? And what's the difference between that version and the one feature in BassFuzz.com [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC42uMZ7v3Y&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC42uMZ7v3Y...player_embedded[/url] ?

Looks like the Fatman V2, compared to the V1:

- loses the tone control (shame, it's a nice tone control, not just a 'muffler'!)
- adds an 'oscillating fuzz mode' with a light sensor.

From the samples on their website, the 'oscillating fuzz mode' doesn't sound all that relevant to bass (http://www.3xfx.com/audio/fm_oscillating_lead_2.mp3) so the V1 might actually be better for bass..? I've not tried the V2 though myself.

I don't have an active bass myself, but [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/3xfx-fatman-v2-319262/"]this thread[/url] mentions no issue in the 'Fatman' (i.e. V.1) mode - only a difference in the 'fuzz' mode.

Hope that helps!
