With this being the most popular at launch bass-specific pedals for a long time, I'm surprised how little chat there is on BC about it, given how many of us either have them, or want them, or have already sold theirs!

* in Sept 2025, I put up with a 2-month delivery with Thomann, then they pushed out out another 2 months then weren't sure. Luckily in Dec, it turned out Bass Direct had some and they delivered within a day or two. 

* as, of this post, there are 10 sales in the BC effects classifieds. They are going like hot cakes, even second hand - meaning also that some BCers have reasons to let them go. 

 

The thread that announced the pedal here...

 

My first early attempt  to generate interest (this will be the second and last - someone else may have better luck 😉, but maybe this might prove useful🤞)

At rehearsal the cover of Eurythmics Sweet Dreams the bass synth sound (preset 2) went down a treat with the guys.

 

* The octaves sound a lot better (keyboard like) when fingered near the fretboard end (over the truss rod port on my Lakland JO5), so with max string movement. Getting closer to the bridge loses clarity, but I guess that's the same for synth pedals generally.

 

* Playing the Interlude B-E section, octave chords sounded really good. 

 

* My pedalboard config generated a lot of unwanted background sound, which the band weren't happy with either. So investigating....
