    Absolutely beautiful. I wanted one of these in this spec for ages and ages and then found that the 74 neck profile is chunkier than the 75 (which I love) and couldn’t get comfortable on it.

    Everything Thomas made is brilliant. The Rhodes, Clavinet, Wurlitzer and basses are astounding. He wants to focus on making music and virtual instruments so is looking for a partner/company to take care of the sales and legal side.

    It gets a few appearances in this video:

    Managed to score one hopefully I’ll get it by the weekend.

    I just got an email with the sad news that Scarbee will be closing it’s web shop on 24th May (though will continue to provide support to customers thereafter). These virtual instruments are some of the very best around. This could be the last chance to buy some of these great instruments. He’s offering 50% off so move quickly. https://www.scarbee.com/

    For anyone who’s feeling flush, Glou Glou is having a sale - €120 discount on his pedals: https://glou-glou.org/ As @tonyxtiger will attest, the Rendez-Vous is a fantastic pedal.

    Damn.

    Dannybuoy is right. On the Manta the wave forms are all used at low frequencies as modulation sources. Some of the bass synth models in your zoom have sawtooth and square wave oscillators. And I’m sure they have equivalent LFOs too. CVs can be used as modulators or as sound sources in synthesis, depending on where they’re directed. If a waveform is directed at pitch or filter input then it’s a modulator; if it is routed straight into the amplifier then it becomes a sound source. It can even do both those things simultaneously.
  9. Quatschmacher
    True. I just checked out a couple of videos. One was a guy just playing the unit without any indication of the patch. It was clearly recognisable to me as the MF-101 sound though. One of the bass synth models has both saw and square available if you feel like your MBSS is lacking.

    OC-3 might be digital if I recall correctly. I tried it but didn’t like it. Incidentally it sounded better plugging into the “guitar” input as opposed to the “bass” one.
  12. Quatschmacher
    Interesting device, and something I’ve never checked out until now. Have you tried using the built in MF-101 or Z-Tron filter patches or any of the bass synth models?
  13. Quatschmacher
    I actually saw a recent interview and pedalboard discussion with him and he’s actually using an OC-3 and MXR BOD currently.
  14. Quatschmacher
    This thing is seriously the bomb.
  15. Quatschmacher
    It’s parallel so whatever is in the loop doesn’t get applied to the clean, octave down and octave up channels. Basically the original input signal gets split in two; one side feeds the loop, the other side feeds the clean, octave up and octave down knobs. You can get the same effect by running your bass into an LS-2 on A+B mix mode, putting octaver in channel A and other effects in channel B.

    Easier to just prefix the thread title with “WITHDRAWN” as they catch those quickly. It’ll also stop you getting any further queries before the mods get to it.
  17. Quatschmacher
    And sold.
  18. Quatschmacher
    Whilst I agree that the copy sounds a tad hyberbolic, Mike Beigel has created some of the world’s best-loved pedals (Mu-Tron III, Bi-Phase, Octave Divider, Q-Tron, Q-Balls) so it’s a fair bet this will be good.
  19. Quatschmacher
    If you’re even vaguely thinking of getting one, do it quickly as his stuff sells out really fast and then it’s really hard to get. I wanted a Micro-Tron III but have never found one and now from that link I saw that they recently made a batch of black ones which are also now all gone.
  20. Quatschmacher
    Even just voice memos recorded on a phone will give a rough idea. The Mastotron is great. (I’d have suggested checking it out at Wunjo but I bought the last one they had, though I’m sure they’ll restock.) It doesn’t do all the self-oscillation that the FFF does but does what I wanted it to do and more.
  21. Quatschmacher
    I’m very happy with the Mastotron and won’t be parting with it but the FFF looks like it offers some other cool stuff. That’s very kind of you, thank you. It’s sadly a bit far as I’m in Sheffield. I’ll be down later in the year so if I still haven’t tried one by then, I’ll drop you a line. I guess I could always buy one online and return it if I don’t like it. There was also one on eBay recently but I was on the fence so didn't bid.
  22. Quatschmacher
    I’d generally be using such a thing with an octaver before it and both running into a filter to get synth-like sounds. P bass with flats too. The other thing which gives these a synth vibe is the heavy gating (notes cutting dead as soon as you mute) as it is similar to the hard key-on/key-off gate of a keyboard. The Mastotron does this so I was wondering if the FFF did this too. Do you have any sound clips?
  23. Quatschmacher
    Touché!
  24. Quatschmacher
    Thanks to @GisserD for giving me the final bits of information/playing samples to give the push to try this pedal out and ultimately buy one. Anyone interested in aping synth sounds would do well to pick up one of these. The tight gate gives a very keyboard-type response to the notes (hard note on and off) and with it you can create interesting attack transients. It also does “regular” fuzz sounds if you want to rock out. Sadly the demos don’t really do it justice.
  25. Quatschmacher
    Is anyone using or has anyone used one of these? I’d be interested to read your thoughts on it. I’m particularly interested in whether the gate can get really tight and how it fares in the creation of synth-type sounds (alone or in combination with other pedals). There doesn’t seem to be much written on the forum about this.
