You can long press the footswitch to change banks so you could put one sound in one bank, the other in the other bank at the same toggle position.

Always happy to hear more of PJ!

It may have been a leak. It’s NAMM this week so it may well become official then. it’s here: https://toy-love.hatenablog.com/entry/2024/01/15/000840 also looks like gear4music have a page but has been pulled:

They announce stuff years before it’s anywhere near finished. The UB-Xa was announced about 6 years ago and only just came out a month or so ago.

To be honest I’m glad they’ve beat Behringer to the punch on this.

Bring it on! LPF and Phaser next please! @andybassdoyle

There’s a manual up now, still in progress. https://mortrix.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MUM/overview?homepageId=33630

Still some R-1s left in the shop.

For me, this is peak Star Wars (without any actual Star Wars imagery): https://www.udo-audio.com/products

Swap it for a Star Wars one? 😉

I was literally about to do that.

Thanks. MIDI control is not what these collaborations are about. One can always put it in a MIDI loop switcher. What I think folks might see as missing is the lack of footswitch capability for the “grit” and “scoop” controls. Had it installed for weeks but have barely had any time on it sadly as there’s some major life stuff going on at the moment which doesn’t look like letting up any time soon. 😞

Yay! SA are sending me one of these soon with some other exciting new stuff! @thisisswanbon do you fancy amending your thread title to accurately reflect the name of the pedal so that it will be able to be found more easily using the search function?

Not exactly set up. Most of my pedals are still boxed up at the moment. Just dug out the MXR for comparison. I’m finding the filter at about 1 o’clock gets closest to the OC-2 thing. The more open settings are pretty gritty; I’d likely not use them on their own but probably would sound good going into an envelope filter. Being able to further lower the lowpass filter cutoff frequency on the octave down does give some nice fatness when blending in the clean signal. For soloed octave down I think I might slightly prefer the MXR; there’s not much difference, mostly in when the note starts to “bloom” (higher frequencies coming in) after being struck. It varies from note to note as to when it happens. On the Cog, the bloom happens slower overall I think. For dry+octave I think the Cog has the edge as the octave doesn’t seem to dominate the blend as much as the MXR does. When setting up, I matched the clean volumes of both pedals and then the octave volumes of both pedals (with dry muted) and then blended at those noted settings. (Filter on Cog at 1 o’clock to tone match.) Oddly though, I find I have to back the octave down off on the MXR when blended to get it to sound as transparent as the Cog. The MXR dry signal seems to be at unity at noon. The Cog seems to be at unity on maximum. With the octave down it’s almost the opposite. When the MXR octave down is at maximum the Cog matches it at its noon position. Having the switch the two channels is really nice. The Cog has a slightly dirtier tone overall. (I don’t mean this negatively at all; it seems to have a bit more “character” whereas the MXR is clean, almost to the point of sterility. It reminds me of the slight grit in vintage synths compared to modern ones. I like it.) This might be something to do with the tracking circuit; the MXR tracks a smidge better for me on the “problem” notes and isn’t as audible when just nudging strings across the pickup as the Cog. It could easily also be to to do with the aforementioned “bloom” happening later so there aren’t as many mid frequencies fighting with each other at the beginning of the note. Not sure if I’ll keep it yet. Can’t fault it at all, I just am not playing much bass at present, have a thousand and one more pressing things to do and could probably use the money for more pressing family stuff.

You were right! Just arrived.

Not sure I’ll get time: life stuff is pretty gruelling at the moment and I’m beta testing/co-developing some exciting new goodies when I can get time.

I don’t really need it either but it’s an itch I have wanted to scratch for a good few years. (My very first octaver was an original T-16 and from memory it sounded better than most of the others I’ve had since then.) I figure if I decide not to keep it, I can easily sell it for what I paid.

Damn, it’s non-Saturday Special Delivery so no new toy for the weekend.

And just shipped!

Units are starting to get into the hands of buyers now. Did anyone on here order one?

Check out the most recent phaser patches I made for Spectrum too.
