    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.

    Still not received it. I just checked out the Slowlight Quartet videos and really enjoyed them. Have you heard the album “Flight” by Dave Stapleton? I think you’d enjoy it

    Sadly I’m trying really hard to rein in my spending and am sticking to a one-in-one-out policy (and I’m currently waiting for one to go out).

    The Enigma is a great filter pedal by the genius that is Mike Beigel (of Mu-Tron fame). Good price too. I’ve always been tempted to get a second one and have it modified so that the distortion trimpot is controlled by an external knob and to have a master volume control added.

    That’s beautiful. The strings remind me of Ravel and do I detect an Avishai Cohen influence on this track? (I don’t mean to say it sounds derivative in any way; I mean it as a compliment.) There is some kind of glitch on my browser (safari on iPhone) which means it keeps looping without ever getting to the outro. Do you have a link to the track somewhere else as I’d love to listen to all of it.

    This is partly what swung it for me to keep it. I just ran a Mastotron into this and it is brilliant. Also, I had a longer play around with many of the other filter settings and tweaked them and found a few more great things in there.

    @radiophonic?

    I’m sure if you’re reading this you’re already aware of this great envelope-controlled filter. If not, check the video review below. A host of synthy goodness and “standard” wah is available from this. N.B., this is the earlier, 5-knob version. Can post same day.

    One popped up on eBay in the uk a couple of days ago.
  10. Quatschmacher
    Nope, it’s still possible to order one. If you’re thinking about it you might want to do it before July when they roll out the changes they’ve made (aluminium hardware replacing the chrome and different tuners).

    You can use a dedicated MIDI program change piece of hardware or app to better change between patches. Such as MIDImouse, Soleman or MIDI pad 2.

    Quite a bit more as the SonicSmith is a “proper” analogue synth, has a bunch of additional features and can be used with any instrument/voice. Whether it’s £600 more versatile is questionable if you only want to use it with bass.
  13. Quatschmacher
    It looks like it should. It basically appears to just be a resonant LP/BP filter with an envelope follower and LFO to control the sweep. However, it doesn’t have a stomp switch but rather a normal on/off rocker switch so looks more suited to desktop use.
  14. Quatschmacher
    Set up right, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t. I got some pretty fat sounds from it. The other main feature of the SonicSmith stuff is that you can use them to drive any synth that has CV and gate inputs (Minitaur, Model D, Sub37, etc).

    It is the same as the Squaver though without PWM and sub octave and a lesser-featured filter. If you like the basic sound that Zach got it his video then you’ll probably like it. There are some not-so-great “demo” videos of it floating around.
  16. Quatschmacher
    Check out their Convertor.

    Zach has finally got hold of a Squaver P1+. I tried it at Superbooth yesterday and it is a definite improvement on the original.
  18. Quatschmacher
    Mustn’t look. I’m trying to resist buying this back. I didn’t really want to sell it but really need the cash to move house. Somebody buy it before I crack. It really is a wonderful bass and I’d have it back in a heartbeat. Ben is also great to deal with so don’t hesitate.

    Absolutely nothing. Probably just the reflection - photo was taken directly under a circular ceiling lamp.

    I concur, I had a go on this for the gated fuzz which is great (but wasn’t quite what I was after). The octaver really impressed me and if I didn’t already have 3 other octavers I would have kept it. This is the only octaver I’ve found that tracks as well as the MXR BOD and its baked-in sound is wonderful. For pure sound and feel of the octaver it also beat my Octo Nøjs; I just wanted the extra control over the tones.

    I recently got a first version Xerograph Deluxe and it is cool.
  22. Quatschmacher
    These are great. @CameronJ?
  23. Quatschmacher
    That is true. What isn’t mentioned is that it runs parallel to the octaver so it’s an octave higher than if one were to run dirt into an octaver.
  24. Quatschmacher
    Therein lies your problem. I had similar problems using my Sterling and the Okto Nojs. Best solution is to use a P bass or Jazz bass on the neck pickup or similar. I don't have any issues using those.
  25. Quatschmacher
    Maybe I should wait until I get to try a Mastotron through it. Bizarrely I didn’t manage to try the Zeus through this.
