    Zach has finally got hold of a Squaver P1+. I tried it at Superbooth yesterday and it is a definite improvement on the original.

    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.

    These are great. @CameronJ?
  7. 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.

    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.

    Maybe I should wait until I get to try a Mastotron through it. Bizarrely I didn’t manage to try the Zeus through this.
  10. Quatschmacher
    I might end up just keeping this.
  11. Quatschmacher
    It was news to me. Sounds cool.
  12. Quatschmacher
    Holy moly, that was a bargain.

    I can’t play the audio on my iPhone.

    If you’re on the fence about this then act fast; I can post Tuesday or Wednesday but then will be unable to do so for a week or two after that.

    I’ve tried out a bunch of iOS apps for this functionality and the best one I’ve found (and bought for £9.99) is AudioStretch: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/audiostretch/id571863178?mt=8 I particularly wanted to find one that was close to the PC software “Transcribe!” which has a playable piano keyboard and mapped spectral analysis. I can’t stress too much how useful this feature is. The scrolling is smooth. Speed goes right down to 0.01 times. Another useful thing is the ability to play it by swiping the waveform so it’ll go as slow as your finger movement and only over the portion you want to hear. I wish I’d found this earlier in the week as I’ve been using a different app to transcribe a fiendishly tricky Chris Potter tenor solo and this would’ve saved me a few hours. This is better than the iOS version of Amazing Slow Downer (though it doesn’t have the ability to place a pause between loops and set it to speed up incrementally).

    I see. It’s an octave up, not a sub octave.
  17. Quatschmacher
    I have had chance to AB these now and actually I think the octave on the Zeus is fatter. Not tweakable but a really fantastic sound, feel and tracking. The fuzz is definitely gnarlier than the ON too. The thing that let the Zeus down for me is that there were very definite sweet spots and then areas where the sound was really noisy or even almost disappears. I’d be worried that if a knob were to get knocked slightly in a playing situation it could have disastrous consequences.
  18. Quatschmacher
    I’m aware of the capability to stack drives on the Aftershock. It’s news to me that you can load an octaver into it. Have I understood that correctly?
  19. Quatschmacher
    Say what? Do you mean the Octavia clone?
  20. Quatschmacher
    There is but it’s a bit pricy for a used one I feel.
  21. Quatschmacher
    Interestingly the Wonderlove, which is the descendent of the GR2 is the one I use the most. The loop and the control over both attack and decay make it so usable, especially with dirt pedals, which are often killers of dynamics.

    Took delivery of a couple of pedals from Darren yesterday. Really quick service, well packed, as described and friendly communication. Also, one of the pedals he sent me with the option to return if I didn’t get on with it. I did that today and was promptly refunded. Heartily recommended. Many thanks.

    Recently sold Shaun my MXR Bass Distortion pedal. A straightforward transaction with friendly communication and prompt payment. Many thanks!
  24. Quatschmacher
    These are cool. Do I spy an ARP Odyssey underneath? Is it the mini or the full-size version?
  25. Quatschmacher
    I’m guessing the new ones will be at the non-discounted price so around £650 for the Squaver and £330 for the Convertor. Getting an actual synth has been a great way for me to learn more about sound design. I’d seriously recommend getting a Behringer Model D (£299) and hook it up to any MIDI keyboard it’s totally worth it.
