Bo0tsy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 ... a Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer. I bought one of these off of ebay a couple of months ago, and it's crying out for a PC interface. Having said that hours, no make that weeks worth of patience and trial and error with all the various settings in the interface, and I've finally started to configure some of the synth, filter and fuzz tones that I need. It took me long enough to learn how to save your changes due to hidden parameters and permissions. Anyone else had experience of this pedal? Btw, I'm not slagging the Squeezer off, now I've finally got to grips with it, it is a wonderful and (eventually) very versatile pedal, but, why oh why, does it have to be so complicated !!

EBS_freak Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Indeed. Great pedal... but ultimately let down by it's user interface experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i wouldn't part with mine for anything. it's an enigma in a box, wrapped in another enigma .. basically only used for fuzz / filter for me, i'd love to use it for synth, but it's more unpredictable than the global economy or the weather.

3below Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Strange, I thought it was the Volvo brake pedal. In the case of bass pedals, it is the one I am connected to at any particular moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Me too, I had one going crazy at my the other day, I finally let him past, half hour later I passed him on the hard shoulder with a police man talking to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 weird how people's cars go to their heads anyway, back on topic, this should have been posted in the Effects forum, as i would like to see other users post their settings/experiences, (other than the pure frustration of the interface, of course ..)
