Psh, in the guitar section. I want your opinions on these with bass! ;)

No worries, our bass player has pulled trigger on a brace of these too!
I will suggest he feedsback on them on BC too, in bass section.

There's a pretty cool sounding octave divider called a Vivider that's a close copy of the old Mu OD; but to me it sounds a bit thinner, harsher and less lush and warm than the Mu. I've only heard the comparison on your Tube tho.

If you're interested in the TruTron too a good comparison is with the Neutrino by Keeley. I've only heard a comparison on You Tube, but it does sound v convincing. However I suspect the TruTron has a lot more extreme sounds and options than the Keeley; that may be fair tho.

All just my opinion of course!

I got the TruTron and Octave Divider a couple of weeks ago and finally had chance for a few fiddles with them.

The Tru Tron is sweeter than any of the other filters I've tried over the years. There are plenty of paramaters to adjust, but not too many, so you can go from extreme squelch, though distorted filter mayhem to mellow funkiness with ease. The sound seems to remain present in the mix with a few simple twiddles of controls which don't take long to learn. I particularly like how much sustain there is on the filtered notes. Most filters seem to close and die too quickly for my liking.

The Octave Divider is as glorious as ever and now in a smaller case and it behaves very well on guitar.

Our bass player got the same pedals too and this is what he says about the TruTron on bass:
[color=#444444]Yes! the Trutron3x is f***in better than a Mutron III fact! Much more balanced between the up or down sweep parameter without having to change gain level at all. Loads more peak and synthy sound or as I now like to call it the chew or Chewbacca. Plus it goes crazy when you slam in the drive oh and it's blendable. Ugh![/color]


AAA+ to Mike Beigel for bringing back the Mu
