Just purchased a pedal from Darren - very smooth transaction and arrived well packaged. Many thanks again!

[quote name='BigBassBob' timestamp='1440083078' post='2848144'] A while back I mentioned I'd record a demo of the 3Leaf Octabvre. Here it is: [url="https://youtu.be/zpcwUfq5-i4"]https://youtu.be/zpcwUfq5-i4[/url] [/quote] Thanks for the demo - always keeping an eye out on new Octavers and this is certainly a great option.

This looks fantastic! If my EBS MultiComp ever dies, this will be atop the list.

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1397325340' post='2422887'] It's more of a practical 'gather all my floor stuff in one place' board, than a vast array of freaky sounds. [/quote] If only we could all approach effects like that! I used to have so many silly pedals which were rarely used in songs...but they were lots of fun and I did have space for them.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1385651066' post='2290704'] For the first time ever, I have more than one pedal, so I thought I'd make a mini board: [/quote] He he cute as f##k. Great design work too.

Just to reiterate what everyone else has already said (!) check out Bassfuzz.com. Great demos that will give you a good idea of what might be up your street. £100 will buy you a lot so you don't have to compromise too much. I picked up my SS/BS Team Awesome Fuzz Machine for less than that and it has been my fuzz of choice for over a year now. Prior to that I loved the EHH Bass Big Muff, only problem is the lack of control over the dry blend but a simple mod will solve that if you're good with a soldering iron. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it isn't good! I've never tried the Tall Font but have almost pulled the trigger 3 or 4 times, it's probably the best modern Russian muff out there, IMO. If you fancy a versatile gated fuzz, check out the Iron Ether Oxide, I got my for £80 - between that and my TAFM I can nail pretty much any Fuzz sound that I want to use. Fuzz is a pretty personal thing at the end of the day, I reaaaalllly can't stand a number of very popular pedals touted frequently on this forum and also on TalkBass, but that's just me. Best of luck finding the right one for you mate.

The EHX Freeze would do exactly this, as its purpose is to freeze a note indefinitely (minus the volume control - but you could put it in a loop with a volume pedal to get a similar effect). Would be a comparatively cheap solution as well.

[url="http://sheponbass.co.uk/blog/interview-brian-cook"]Shep On Bass - Interview: Brian Cook[/url] May I present Brian Cook.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1379282292' post='2210920'] The oxide I had (2013 build) was very high gain as I recall, as with all the IE units I have had (pretty much all). Either the circuit was revised or you have a faulty unit, ask Taylor the question, the answer would probably help your sale! [/quote] +1 Mine is goddamn loud! Can't really run either volume above 12 o clock or it gets a bit silly.

Sounds samples are interesting, great combination with the Xero Delx. Bet it sounds massive in real life.

My vote would also be for the BB Preamp - very powerful 2 band eq too.

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1369132176' post='2085118'] Good point. And breaking mxr pedals is a bad idea since they won't send schematics out to repairers, even for pedals that aren't produced any more. Customer service at it's best... [/quote] That is absolutely ridiculous isn't it?!

All about the tuner, preamp and compressor. I love my fuzz, octave and overdrive pedals as well though...

Yep Kev's right - you want an old Sovtek Russian muff? Just buy a Wren & Cuff Tall Font Russian and be done with it!

Looking good Ant - what are you using the B3 for?

Cheers for the post, definitely a pedal that's been on my radar for a while. Any chance of some comparative sound clips dialed with the same settings to show the difference?

Sounds more like it's your amp clipping? Try turning down your bass a little and give it another go. Your OC-2 will be putting out quite a hot signal to deal with - I know I've mashed up my old practice amp by overloading the input stage.

[quote name='Shobaleader One' timestamp='1365847258' post='2045125'] Analog man mini chorus - with an added deep setting and mix control knob its amazing.

Before I upgraded to it I used a Boss CEB-3 for years, also a great pedal and can be had for cheaps. Well worth the £40 you can get em for second hand.
