hamfist Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Bit of excitement here at chez-Hamfist. After many, many months of lusting after one, I finally have an Okko Basstard arriving today. FInally got around to justifying the money for one !! Anyone else played one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Have you had a chance to try the Basstard properly? What do you think of the pedal? I'm about to buy one too! Edited August 21, 2013 by PauBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of the pedal? I'm about to buy one too! [/quote] Well I have to say I was a bit gutted. I have wanted one of these for so long, as I have loved every clip/video I have ever heard with one. Just didn't sound great with my rig at all, so I sent it back. Just to note that I use a very clean, PA-type speaker system for amplification and have found that some pedals simply do not sound good through that, however you control EQ along the way. I found the same with the Amptweaker bass tightfuzz, which sounds astoundingly good on clips, but sounded poor through my rig. You win some, you lose some. Thank goodness for distance selling regs returns. So, it didn't work for me, but it's still clearly a quality pedal. Unfortunately, the only decent answer is that you won't know until you try it with your rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
