Any Donny Benét fans in here, I reckon you’ll dig this album that just came out today by an artist with a similar vibe, both musically and with the tongue-in-cheek humour.
Another smooth transaction with Gavin, this time with him as the buyer. I listed a pedal and tagged him and within an hour he agreed to buy and paid. All easy with prompt and friendly communication. Many thanks.
In case this weren’t obvious, as this is a MIDI device, you can trigger it with anything that sends MIDI note data, so that even includes footpedal controllers such as the Morningstar stuff.
You still get the frequency sweeps but without big volume spikes at high resonance. It can be very useful for taming some of the wilder filters out there such as the Fwonkbeta, Enigma and MF-101.
I had one for quite some time. In fact I think I’ve owned two. I used the Nik West “born again compressor” and loved it when set to about 10-11 o’clock.
In outstanding condition. Owned by me from new and only played at home. The best tracking I’ve had from an analogue octaver, hands down. Very convincing OC-2 clone (in fact they used Janek Gwizdala’s personal OC-2 as a reference when creating this pedal).
There never was a v2 hardware (it was software only).
Not sure about the new SA as it’s not down to me, but also I wouldn’t be allowed to say, even if I did know. I do know it’s been pushed back six weeks because the selector switch batch that came in had been erroneously manufactured 180 degrees out of phase! Roger confirmed that on The Gear Page a few days ago.
They used to have this back in the early 2000s when they had a vastly bigger range of basses, finishes and options. Was gutted they removed it as you could construct a nice big jpeg from it.
Ooh, cool, they’ve brought back the SLO Special nut width!
Did your Barbanera finally arrive then? Nice I’d so. I’d love to get one of those. Bet the XD is nice. Those housings certainly look a lot nicer than the early ones.
Behringer do this sort of thing all the time; announce stuff and then it’s years before anything happens. The UB-Xa was six years between announcement and release.

Gig tickets that include the restaurant are available directly on the website. There’s a little link in the main ticket booking thing. Pretty straightforward when I did it in December. Went to see Kinga Głyk in March.
When you go to book a ticket, there’s a tab for “tickets” and one for “info”; click on the “info” one and just below that is a link to book restaurant tickets.
