Immo Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Now here's something quite different than your typical Muff-like/FuzzFace-like/ToneBender-like fuzz. Emma OKTO-NØJS. While most samples online evoke that funky and synthy stuff, I'm happy to say it dooms as well especially if paired with another dirt pedal. It's fun on its own, of course, but it shines in a company. I love what it can do when coupled with an octave fuzz and/or envelope filter. Of course it has its learning curve. Quality, fit and finish is great. It is also a looker. 4 Quote
ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I just ordered a Boss OC-5. Why? No idea. I don't really need one, but it sounds cool. 1 Quote

This has me seriously intrigued - just looked it up and listened to a yt demo - right up my street! Do Horrothia ever have them for sale? Sounds great! Quote

Do Horrothia ever have them for sale? Sounds great! They came out with a Mk.2, that replaced the 2-position switch with a knob (so offering more range) and the Mk.2 can run on battery. This Mk.1 version is officially discontinued. However, I understand that the Mk.2 is out of production at the moment pending a restock on a number of components. Not discontinued though, so I'd expect another run in the future. This one, serial 000, was Tom at Horrothia's personal one, which he was kind enough to let go as I was very persistent in wanting one I've been using this daily since it arrived and it's easily the nicest low-gain drive I've ever used (and I've used a lot!). 1 Quote
Paddy777 Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I’m not really a big overdrive person, but I still like some saturation, so I’m always looking at different low gain OD’s and various saturators/magic “toan” pedals 😁 I’m going to look out for one of these - how much do they/the mk2 cost at Horrothia, there’s a couple on eBay from Japan but that pricing isn’t necessarily a guide - I’m guessing £200-250ish judging by other pedals they sell? 1 Quote

The Mk.2 is £250 the last time it was in stock. If you ever find yourself near Derby, you're more than welcome to come give this one a whirl. Shep 1 Quote

Using it and my other dirt pedals I even managed to create a massive lo-fi bitcrushed doom sound, which is what I was dreaming of for a while now. Only tested it on headphones so far, and it sounded awesome, but I will push it through my amp's 15" speaker at my nearest convenience. Can't wait. 1 Quote
pantherairsoft Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Blown away by these. The 101 is the most accurate Moog reproduction I’ve tried. Stunning work. The 251 is great at condensing the original CP-251 features that you are most likely to use with a pedal. It’s only downside is that it does not have expression through. I have already suggested this to the builder for future mods and they seemed keen. With expression through, the 251 will become a seriously powerful addition to many pedalboards. 4 Quote

I think you might have owned a Triungulo Barbanera at some stage. I’m wondering how the Past FX compares. As much as I like the Barbanera, the always on gain is a bit annoying! 1 Quote

I’m wondering how the Past FX compares. As much as I like the Barbanera, the always on gain is a bit annoying! The Barbanera didn't stay too long. It had a small fault, which while it could have been corrected by sending it Triungolo, the always on drive annoyed me way more than the Moog did - it seemed to have a different character in the low mids to the Moog, at least to my ear. It was a solid filter, but it had its own slight flavour when placed side by side with the Moog (less obviously different than a Xerograph or DUSK though etc). I eventually settled on the Dr Scientist DUSK as it just sounded better to me, be it with a touch less warmth (but then, I wasn't looking for warmth) and a more controllable 'hifi' sound. The PastFX has a dedicated level switch so you can balance the drive... low drive, high volume for a cleaner sound at the same volume etc. The addition of true bypass (which can be turned off for those who want the old Moog vibe) is a great touch. It means you can dime the drive if you want a heavily overdriven tone from it, but just bypass it like any other pedal. The Drive character is very faithful to the Moog. Honestly, I think anyone would be hard pushed to tell the PastFX apart from the Moog on a blind test. Until (if) the 251 gets expression through, I am planning to run both the DUSK and the 101 on the board, with the DUSK performing LFO duties (multiple wave forms and tap tempo), into the 101, which can sweep cutoff after them. That stacking of cutoff resonance is really cool, and it means I get a tap tempo LFO with expression control of the cutoff, which is halfway towards Moog MP-201 territory. 1 Quote
LukeFRC Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I love my PF101 - it just works and sounds good in a musical way 1 Quote
