bnt Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Funny that we're on an Octaver kick, since I just got a Boss OC-5. I already have a MXR BOD, but I have two boards now and I wanted something with a nice octave up. In Vintage mode it gives me a digital octave up and a OC-2 style analog octave down. I watched a few videos before buying, but I'm discovering that even just a little of the +1 fattens the tone considerably, which I like and wasn't expecting. Still learning. The other pedal I got at the same time was a Landlord FX Cheeky Pint compressor, which I'm still dialling in a bit. Super cheap but seems solid enough. At the highest volume & compression, I seem to be clipping it a little if I play hard. By comparison, my Orange Kongpressor can take 12V and runs on 18V internally ... but cost me 5x as much. 1 Quote
Chadu25 Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Just got this from Ebay. Found this easier to tweak than the Doom2. I barely use the eq sections of the latest version anyway. 4 Quote

javi_bassist Posted April 24 Posted April 24 I have been thinking about getting this pedal for about two months. I must say now, that it is the best bass overdrive I have ever tried. I love the sounds I can get from it 3 Quote

p4ul Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) Just got this tiny Chase Bliss Faves for 40 quid baragainous! The CBF, you know it could be said this possibly the most boring pedal in the world being just a switching unit but it’s turned the Meris Enzo from a mind-boggling mega struggle to a very usable slightly less mind-boggling enjoyable effort! Looking to level up to DMC or Morningstar with expression ped once i master the sonicenzosphere 🤘🏽 Edited April 26 by p4ul 3 Quote
tayste_2000 Posted April 28 Posted April 28 My latest haul. Annoyingly after hunting for months for a 442 filter I picked up this one which I’m fairly sure is the guitar model, then a few days later I’ve come across two more one of which is definitely the bass model so I’ve picked that up. The difference is likely subtle and for all I know this one could be modded to bass specs as you could request it from Mojo Hand at the time before they split them off to two models. Orange pedal in the middle is a hand painted 1 of 1 Zvex Concert Bass Super Duper. Going to be a fun week as soon as my birth year Rickenbacker turns up. 5 Quote
ordep Posted Thursday at 19:59 Posted Thursday at 19:59 (edited) just got this new compressor from Sonicake, supposedly a 1176 in a 1590a box. just had a quick test and its on the subtle side, but good enough for most (of my own) application. no low end loss even with the Blend completely off, LED color changes with the amount of compression applied (a bit slow to react tho) Overall it will not replace my Cali76TXPL, but will keep this one for my cheap 1590a setup. IMO best bass compressor below £40 new. Edited Thursday at 19:59 by ordep 6 Quote

tayste_2000 Posted Thursday at 21:14 Posted Thursday at 21:14 You know….. I might just prefer the guitar one Quote
Bagman Posted Thursday at 21:21 Posted Thursday at 21:21 I have been reading up on the Warm Audio 76 FET Compressor It certainly looks cool Quote
0175westwood29 Posted Friday at 15:47 Posted Friday at 15:47 not quite finished yet!!! Just needs the reverb tank to arrive!!! But this is a phantom coil pcb build from holy island 4 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted Saturday at 11:34 Posted Saturday at 11:34 I have a spring reverb that I bought about 40+ years ago when planning to build a guitar combo. Always fancied using it... is it a worthwhile effect for bass or does it just add mud? Quote
