I do also have a few BODs for sale near me do you reckon they're a good shout or a different beast? They are different but there’s some overlap in the sounds they can create. I’ve owned both and I ended up keeping the BOD and selling the Octamizer. The BOD is the tightest tracking octaver I’ve played and is incredibly good value. I found the Octamizer a bit sluggish sometimes in its tracking whereas the BOD never misses a beat. For me, feel is also important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenR24 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Is there any other core pedal types that are useful to increase the creative potential of playing which would fit in a band setting (usable). Or just pedals that are essential to have on a board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Aside from the above, maybe one more thing I'd add is chorus. It adds movement and depth to an otherwise static synth sound. I tend to use either filter for funky bass lines, or chorus on pretty much everything else. Not essential tho. Also, of your playing solo or over a sparce arrangement, reverb can add an extra dimention to the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenR24 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yeah I’d like to get a chorus also for chords and stuff. What would you reccomend for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If you have a hub... Get a source audio orbital! Make use of your presets! I may have one for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenR24 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Sorry but what’s a hub? Also would you reccomend a hot hand for fun use and the occasional actual use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Source audio hub allows you to save and recall 127 scenes on all SA pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely get a hub if you’re getting a Manta (there’s no difference, other than cosmetic, between the Soundblox V1 and the Neuro). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenR24 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ok, it’s not essential though is it from the get go? I’m not sure if I’ll have much more disposable cash after buying these other pedals to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if I’ll have much more disposable cash after buying these other pedals to buy one. Not essential I suppose but to be honest I wish I’d got one way sooner as I lost a bunch of presets I liked because I wanted to save others I was working on. Having the hub takes away that problem. It also allows the use of a regular expression pedal, which can be mapped to any parameter; this means you can vary the sound of a preset easily.

BenR24 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Going back to the octaves, how about a Cog T-65, I've always wanted a Cog pedal cause they sound great, or would the T-16 be enough? Or is it worth the extra money to get the higher models? Thanks for all your help guys, really appreciate all your advice! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we both prefer the t16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenR24 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) ok so would the t16 fair up well against the mxr BOD, Octamizer etc? Actually when I asked last there was a 6 week wait or something but i'd need it soon. Edited July 3, 2018 by BenR24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the t16 was a great solo synth tone that tracked pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
