AttitudeCastle Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hey All! Looking for an Octaver and a Fuzz/Distortion (only one! just to clarify), I like the one Josh Homme (queens of the stoneage, Them Crooked Vultures) uses used one with a P-bass last year, can't remember the name =/, Octavius maybe? Not A Clue who its made by, and i can't find anything on it, but Names please and recommendation! I've only ever used the one, and i remembered how much i loved it! Thanks! Adam, Note: If you could tell me where i could maybe get one too would be appreciated! Name of pedal and company names please! Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the solo on Little sister uses it with many other effects, i'll try and remember (Ie ask my brother! he knows every one i think) but alot of Lullabies to Paralyse and Songs for the deaf he uses it, its a studio thing he likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 hi, no idea what it sounds like, but a google search led me to this : [url="http://www.imuso.co.uk/Effects/13762-/Ashdown-Bass-Sub-Octave-Plus-Bass-Guitar-Effects-Pedal"]http://www.imuso.co.uk/Effects/13762-/Ashd...r-Effects-Pedal[/url] tbh, i would probably go for two different pedals, but who knows, it could work...

umph Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 blue box? might be in the wrong direction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzombie Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm lead to believe, that the pedal Josh Homme uses is a Fulltone Ultimate Octave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreenman555 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 another option is to look for a Brassmaster clone - the originals date from the 70s, made by Maestro, and are collectors items. Malekko do a fair copy - known as the B:assmaster, (the Black Cat is similar, with a smaller footprint) they go for £199 new (the Malekko) - Roselane in Liverpool have one on ebay. Another option is a Polish made clone, known colloquially as the Pole Master made by a guy called Bogdan. He makes them as a hobby but puts them on ebay from time to time (plus his other pedals - Polish Love/Helter SKelter & Mephisto) - one of his clones will set you back £85 incl postage - so you pays yer money & makes yer choice! [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/malekko/bassmaster"]http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/malekko/bassmaster[/url] is a great resource to keep an eye out worldwide for one! check out Talkbass (if I'm allowed to mention that!) for discussion on the Polish version vs the Black Cat & there's some sound clips of it here..

devnulljp Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Maestro Brassmaster! Or the Malekko Barker Assmaster. Jim Roth (from Built to Spill) [url="http://stompboxes.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1645"]builds a nice clone too[/url]. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PrgyyTcnDo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PrgyyTcnDo[/url] EDIT: Just found a B:Assmaster: [url="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=660356"]http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=660356[/url] No affiliation / not mine Edited January 20, 2010 by devnulljp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Get onto glasgow gumtree over the last fw days they have had a HBE UFO (Ultimate Fuzz Octave) though I think its for guitar plus a blue box. Search a little further back and you'll find a full tone 70's pedal, again fopr guitar but fuzz only -might be edinburgh based that one. In a bit of a rush and on the mobile so i cant get any links posted up just now hope its useful Edited January 28, 2010 by krispn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 [quote name='The Twickerman' post='730918' date='Jan 31 2010, 06:29 PM']Hi folks, I need to upgrade by delay pedal and get a tremolo. Up for grabs is my Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz. I will take £100 for the pedal - but would prefer a swap/trade. The Black Cat is a replica of the Maestro Bass Brassmaster (similar to the Melekko B:Assmaster). This is original Black Cat pedal. No longer in production and very difficult to find. Near mint condition (but for some very minor cosmetic scuffs on the front - see the pics attached). [list] [*]True Bypass switching [*]AC adaptor jack (Boss PSA/Ibanez style) or internal 9V battery [*]Normal Volume, Effected volume, and Drive knobs [*]Two toggle switches: filter and Harmonic for various tones [*]Fuzz with octavia sound with excellent low end response. [*]Heavy duty steel metal enclosure about 4" x 6.5" and 2" high [/list] These are the pedals I am interested in:- [list] [*]Lovepedal Babyface (tremolo) [*]Lovepedal Echobaby [*]Catlinbread Semaphor (tremolo) [*]Boss DD-7 [*]TC Electronic Nova Repeater [*]Retrosonic Analog Delay [/list] Open to other suggestions![/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
