  1. [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1505479078' post='3372229'] That Okto Nøjs is one fantastic sounding pedal! Thanks for putting it on the radar. Ive tried many octaves and currently using an OC2. I'm seriously gassing for a COG T65 after enjoying the T16! I like the idea of the dirty octave up as well as the loop. As I understand,I should be able to put my fuzz/OD in the loop and the octave will be clean underneath,instead of a fuzzed octave sound! (Please correct me if I'm wrong) I'm even thinking of selling the OC2 to fund one! That may be a bit hasty though [/quote] The loop in the T65 works exactly like that. the genius bit is you still have your clean bass volume and the loop volume. that way you can add something pokey like a rat pedal or more octave ups or both. then you have control over 4 signals... sub octave channel clean bass channel effected bass channel octave up channel all at once. you are a 1 man army. with the T70 you can do this twice. and have a sub soloed option. COG for the win. the KMA machines Moai Maea does 1 oct down and 2 oct down bass plus a great octave up. also has an fx loop. worth checking out too. https://fxpedalrental.com/rent-pedals.html?octave_pitch=13
  2. After using the big Cali for a while I got rid for a compact Cali. I just found on the big one I had to use very little input compression to preserve the attack and therefor ended up with hiss. The compacts parallel compression/dry blend solves it. great tone but keeps your attack. https://fxpedalrental.com/origin-effects-cali76-compact-bass-compressor.html
  3. you could use the tech 21 Q\strip which is a studio EQ and Preamp with a DI? Sounds great. https://fxpedalrental.com/tech21-q-strip-studio-eq-and-preamp.html
  4. I haven't had any experience of the MXR. I have used the MF101 and leaf proton and wonder love with great results. The Proton doing pretty much the 101s job in a tiny package. money no object the GlouGlouFX filters are ridiculously good and the tone is sublime.
  5. This personal comparison highlights to me just how useful a service like FXPedalRental could be in a market where there are so many variations of the "same" effect. I'm not affiliated with the company at all but when I do the math I realise that I've spent over £500 on these 4 pedals alone. I'm a self confessed octave junkie so I feel no burning desire to move any of them on but if I were on the quest for my one ideal octave sound, the option to trial or rent them would have saved many weeks of searching/bidding/PMing/PayPal gifting Cameron, well said. This is something I'm looking at implementing. Essentially like a discount code for "home shootouts" along the lines of a 2 for 1. So you can try three pedals of the same effect type for proper comparison. Your in depth review was fantastic but I bet others might get slightly different results. That's only natural. And you are right, Octaves are fussy with bass type/player style. Also it works for sound design. For example how many interpretations are there of a "bass synth" sound? You could have singularly a Future impact 1 on its own. Or, octave pedal/drive/modulation. octave/filter/fuzz. Filter/modulation/delay etc, etc. An example is the 3 leaf Doom which I think has people thinking Doom Fuzz. It's actually far more of a harmonically rich synth fuzz. It's excellent for that. It's not for metal heads at all. There are many aspects to a synth tone using pedals and it's great fun experimenting with just that!
  6. [quote name='gs_triumph' timestamp='1505144228' post='3369780'] (on mobile) if you go to the 'rent pedals' page, you can filter by type by clicking on the 'shop by' button. [/quote] Thanks GS this is correct. You can also use the search for something specific or just get in touch.
  7. They are lovely units. Really Ballsey octave fuzz. Definitely recommended.
  8. babies love fuzz bass. get on with it.
  9. [quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1504606067' post='3365969'] The EAR AD4096 MKII is top of my wanted list ... however I've managed to cover my needs with Moog MF Delay / Bright Onion Trails Looper / Zander Circuitry Little Monster to 'ramp' oscillations albeit in a much larger footprint to the EAR AD4096 MKII [/quote] Me too! its only been delayed about a year now so hopefully in the next couple of months we'll have them along with the spectra vibe.
  10. [quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1504537009' post='3365522'] Browsing your stock selection makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop! It's expanded a fair bit since I first visited the site. Very nice [/quote] Thanks, glad you like what you see. As always, happy to take suggestions for new stock.
  11. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1504467969' post='3365113'] I'd be interested in trying a Cali Compact Bass compressor if you stocked one! I'm sure that would be a popular one around here too, enough for the investment to pay for itself. [/quote] BOOM! its up now if you want to check it out. https://fxpedalrental.com/rent-pedals/origin-effects.html
  12. Save a space for version 2 of the Endangered Audio Research Delay. It will be very nice. controllable, dip switches, effects loop for the delays. yummy. And if its like version one, shamazing tone.
  13. Glad you're enjoying New Amp Day. Can't believe no photo of you wearing the free geddy badge!
  14. Yes, they are available now. Most importantly you get a free badge with them. We have a rental one available. if anyone wants to try one or buy one just get in touch. Also on the subject of Tech21 Dug amp I can locate an ex demo one cheaper if anyone is interested.
  15. [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1504460757' post='3365034'] I spied some new Tech 21 stuff has arrived - The Geddy Lee pre amp and the Q strip! Tasty! [/quote] They have. I'm trying to get some spare time to actually plug the damn things in and try them. Very frustrating. I'll post up when I have.
  16. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1504467969' post='3365113'] I'd be interested in trying a Cali Compact Bass compressor if you stocked one! I'm sure that would be a popular one around here too, enough for the investment to pay for itself. [/quote] As it happens I do have one but it's not listed yet. I have some still to add this week. If you're looking to try one I'll add it this week for you. And yes, they are very nice. I tried the keeley pro for a while which was excellent but the Cali parallel compression is much better at retaining the pick attack/top end dynamics. I'm looking to get the RMI compressor in at some point too.
  17. Try the baby sumo here... https://fxpedalrental.com/rent-preamps/guitar-sound-systems-power-amplifiers.html Great little mono power amps.
  18. Price drop to £2400 for basschat peeps. Need to move this before I change my mind.
  19. I'm sure there's better demos out there. If I'd had a way to support the phone I might have tried two or even three notes. One note seems miserly, but on a Data Corrupter, it's quite a note!
  20. Arrived today. Ridiculous. heres a quick drone as I could only play one note while holding the camera. Mega Drones. Easiest way to achieve tinnitus.

  21. Hi All, Thanks to the wise man that is Krispn I will jump in here to answer any questions you folks have and to update you. We have new stock arriving currently from Caroline and EQD and more on the way from KMA, Emma, Red Panda and Tech 21. We also have more stock added to the for sale section. This would be a good place to share any experiences you have had with effects you have tried or to request anything you're interested in. cheers, Darren.
