SonicSmith Convertor or Squaver P1. They are heavily discounted at present as they are about to launch new models. Moog Freqbox. Iron Ether Subterranea (currently relaunched for a limited time). Pigtronix Mothership 2. If you don’t need it to track fast playing then you could get a Sonuus G2M v3 and hook it up to any MIDI-controlled analogue or digital synth. There’s loads of good hardware stuff out there around £200-300 (Korg Monologue, Behringer Model D) or as iPhone apps for under £15-30 (Korg ARP ODYSSEi, Moog Minimoog Model D).

Not had them side by side but it’s exactly the sputtery fuzz that sounds amazing on the Zeus (and I love my Octo Nøjs, but it can’t achieve that effect, nor does it have control over the gate; it does have a tone control for the octave (on both sides of the pedal)).

It’s just been added to my list, along with the Mastotron. Really wish you and I could meet up as we could save each other a bunch of money trying out eachother’s stuff. It’d probably justify the train fares.

See here:

How has no-one mentioned the Red Witch Zeus? (I couldn’t find and entry in this thread using the search function.) I didn’t realise this was an octave and a gated fuzz. The demos sound great. @CameronJ, you’ve tried one, right and you have one, don’t you, @GisserD? The demos I’ve checked out sound pretty great. The Uriah Duffy one shows off the gated fuzz really well.

Mine’s definitely factory and the settings are listed in the user manual.

I’ve never opened mine up to change it. Factory works just fine for me.

Copilot Broadcast? If so, I know someone selling one. It’s an LFO generator that plugs into anything that has a jack for an expression pedal so can sweep volume, filter cutoff or whatever else you fancy. Obviously needs pairing with something but goes with lots of different stuff, has a few different waveforms, tap tempo and a pretty wide speed range.

I’m on iOS. Seems to have reverted. Not sure what happened there.

Has the site had a makeover? The font seems to have suddenly changed from one minute to the next. It’s messing with my brain.

It’s gone. However, I know of another that’ll be coming soon.

Just got this in my Facebook feed:

Finally managed to score one of these last week! It’s brilliant and the knobs are so much better than on the SE-02.

Recently sold Rich my Aftershock. Clear communication and prompt payment. Many thanks.

I recently bought an EHX Bass Micro Synth from Leighton. It arrived in the condition described. Thanks, I love it!

As far as I understood it the filter was post-square-wave-generation. i.e. it’s simply a lowpass filter applied to the square wave output signal. Tracking the same pitch on different strings is due to the different overtones present on the different strings. A B on the A string has more overtones than the same B played higher up on the E string. The closer you are to the middle of the string, the closer you get to pure fundamental. Try plucking halfway between the bridge and the fretted note to hear the difference.

I wonder if this is more to do with the overtone frequencies present. The glitchier pedals happen to be the ones which have stronger mid presence. (Doesn’t the T-16 sound glitchier when its filter is open? It did for me.) When the sub octave signal has the low pass filter applied it’s much less noticeable when it drops out when mistracking.
