I'm not 100% sure how best to describe it but last night we played an open secret kinda warm up kinda gig kinda jam over South Northamptonshire's equivalent to The Slaughtered Lamb : The George at Tiffield. Upon walking into the place, the three of us knew receptive ears would be few and far between, even though there were 8 guest ales on tap to cloud peoples judgements. We got talking to two dudes who seemed cool.Very proud of the fact they had drank 5 of said guest ales already, very keen to drink the remaining 3 and seemingly very keen to hear our set(s). Unfortunately though, after last being seen in the car park smoking what can only be described as a "jazz cigarette" they became very keen to disappear.... we were on our own. All i kept thinking of as we played through our first set was the Hüsker Dü philosophy of making the people that don't love you, hate you even more.. and hate us they did. I f***ing LOVED it!!! As each person left the pub and for every screwed up face and gesticulation toward ear drums made, I smiled more and more. For the sake of clarity: we are an instrumental 3 piece who play original, improvisational 'pieces' , a bit trippy, a bit different and pretty funky, so shouts of "Do you know any Abba?" and "Turn the singer up a bit!" were particular high points for me. We also got likened to "70's porn soundtracks" at one point.. awesome!! The landlady asked the drummer if we could "tone it down a bit" for the second set to which he replied "Not really, no" bless him [i][u]wink emoticon[/u][/i] What was I to do? I just dialled in a bit more distortion.. worked for me. The evening was a total success.

I was talked into it by my best mate. He was starting a band and because I was tall he asked me to be the bass player. He had loan of a jazz bass copy and all I had to do was get an amp. He promised me plenty of beer and guaranteed me I'd pull women. He lied.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1422831150' post='2677413'] Just seen this; will see how I get on with it on tomorrow. Thanks for posting, in any case. [/quote] My pleasure mate. I put it on an old windows laptop I have Reaper installed on and its now my goto quick synth set up..

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1422830631' post='2677398'] What strings have you got on it? [/quote] On my bass? Or on the vst? No diss but I dont quite follow..

No love?

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1422824721' post='2677282'] None taken All octave ups sound artificial, but to my ears, the POG sounds the least of all of them (Whammy aside). Weedy, hmmm, not sure about that, but then I don't think I'd want anything that overpowers the original signal?! Depends on the application I guess . The low octave is definitely weedy compared to the OC2. Boyo from Royal Blood gets a decent sound from them (albeit POG 2 rather than Micro POG). Si [/quote] All fair comments Si Just for the sake of clarity "weedy" was referring to the POG's octave up. @ tonyxtiger ; I ALWAYS fancied an Octron/Octron 2!!!

Just picked up one of these beasts a week or ago from Mr Shep and I just feel compelled to write a few words about it. There seems to be a lot written on forums about this module being real difficult to dial in etc ; This was NOT my experience with it AT all. I started off in hard sync mode with all dials set counter clockwise but "mix" on 10 and straight away it sounded great. Synthy, fuzzy and SYNTHY!! Basically the 'freq' and 'env' knobs work together with whatever waveform you have seleced and it's not difficult to dial in those sweet spots (of which there are a LOT) tweaking these two controls. You can go from the sublime to the truly ridiculous!! So many usable, awesome sounds and sticking an OC2 and WM before it and an MF 101 after it is sheer sonic BLISS!!! Then the real chaos starts when you attach its oscillator out into itself or into the carrier in of the ring mod - insanity!!! The only downside is now I want another one (or even two!!) for layering mayhem.. I may need to invest in an LS2

No diss to you Si but I found the POG to sound weedy and real artificial with a noticable latency... Horses/courses. Peace.

My local Amp manufacturer Good enough for Bob Mould

Seymour Duncan Antiquity II's would fit the bill.

Brought a Moog Freqbox from Shep. A scholar and a gentleman (Shep not me! )

Hello peeps Has anyone used the Fretted Synth Audio GCBS4 (Guitar Controlled Bass Synth) VST ?? I've just put it on old Windows laptop and I'm bloody impressed!! [url="http://rekkerd.org/fretted-synth/"]http://rekkerd.org/fretted-synth/[/url] Nuff said.

Slightly OT but LOL at TheBadderer interests ; making stupid purchases after midnight
