    A fantastic overdrive from Spaceman. What really makes it unique is that it has a resonant filter that allows you to create big filter sweeps when used with an expression pedal. It’s not quite as dramatic as a dedicated resonant low pass filter but still produces really nice sweeps. In excellent to mint condition and includes box and shiny space bag…for cables, miscellaneous plecs, space rocks etc. Price also includes shipping or you’re more than happy to collect from Reading/London. This is what Spaceman have to say: Polaris is a dynamic medium-gain overdrive, with incredibly flexible tone-shaping capabilities. Featuring a 2-pole resonant filter, fully controllable via expression pedal for filter sweeps and out-of-this-world overdrive tones. Zach Rizer offers a great overview including the resonant filter section: Pics: And Spaceman’s own demos:

    Great to hear that’s it’s been a positive experience so far. I’ve been a long time user of the og Enzo and I’m excited to try this version out now that stock has landed in the UK. I’ve just sold my little Enzo to partially fund the X. I know you’ve been using it with your EUB but have you tried the poly mode yet? I found the original didn’t track bass chords at all and hoping the X will be better. Congrats on the new pedal!

    This is a killer combo. The filter on the Ottobit Jr can do some nice juicy filter sweeps with an expression pedal. if I didn’t already have both, I’d buy them!! Haha! Good luck with sales.

    This is a really great synth pedal that has a multitude of sounds from thick Moog-ish mono synth sounds, to screaming leads to Whammy-like pitch shifting in dry mode using an expression pedal. There so much this pedal can do to list here but the information from the Meris website offers a great overview: https://www.meris.us/product/enzo/ It also has a poly mode but I’ve never been successful in getting it to track chords on bass. It works well with guitar however and line-level instruments like keys. Ive owned it from new and it’s only ever been used at home; as such its in mint condition. It also comes with the original box and manual. Selling to raise funds for the recently Meris Enzo X which has even more features! Price includes next day delivery with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Some selected YouTube clips: This is a fund raiser but I might be interested in trades for an Origin Effects compressor or one of the Origin Effects Bassrigs.

    Gah! That’s a great price!

    That’s a shame. Hopefully it’ll be a straightforward return. I wonder if Behringer is shipping these with a 9v battery included. Might be worth opening it up to check and removing if included. Are you asking for a replacement or refund?
  7. HoorayForAnonyms
    Apparently the B-Tron does also run on a 9v battery. You’ll have to send a letter of apology to Behringer, @ped. It might make a change to the usual ‘cease and desist’ letters they receive 😛

    Hoping any current Dunlop Flatwound users might be able to help me with this. I recently put on a new set of the Dunlop Flatwound Short scale on my Fender Mustang but the silks at ball end are sitting on top of the saddles and causing some chorusing and intonation issues. Strangely, this new set replaces an identical older set of Dunlop Flatwounds I bought in 2018 when they were first released. The silks on the older set are shorter than the new set and didn’t sit on top/over the saddles like these new ones. Im wondering if I received a faulty set or if all the newer strings now come with this longer silk as standard. If anyone has a newish set currently on their bass, could you measure the silk length at the ball end? It would be so helpful in making a decision to order another set in the future. Thanks in advance! I’ve also reached out to Dunlop via their website twice and waiting on hopefully a reply soon.

    It’s all sounds like the joy of a vintage pedal. Big, some unusable features, and a little noisy at certain settings. I still want one.

    It’s hopefully a relatively straightforward pedal to dial-in compared to other envelope pedals. I think concentrating attention on only adjusting the Gain control and finding the spot where the envelope begins to trigger/open will be a good starting place before adjusting other controls. You could also try the other controls as below whilst only adjusting the Gain; starting with the Gain fully counter clock-wise and gradually moving clockwise until you start to hear the filter open up. Mode: LP Peak: 7 Range: Low Drive: UP A looper pedal like the TC Electronic Ditto can be really useful in dialing in a pedal by freeing up your hands! This video might help to get some ideas. https://youtu.be/3xBLTzmDVbA?si=3Enn54E3QkmXxvsf

    The Behringer Dual Phase is also reduced; even cheaper on Amazon. I tired it briefly and it was surprisingly nice. It’s also almost the exact same dimensions as the B-Tron. Would make a nice pairing. A mini dual modulation Behringer board has an odd appeal to me! I do love wasting time mocking up boards with the Rock Board configurator. https://www.rockboard.de/en/boardConfigurator/?id=7956400773

    Happy Birthday! 🥳

    Some guitar demos beginning to trickle through. The poly presets sound wonderful. The mono patches less so.

    It does sound as good as the original and addresses some of that pedals shortcomings like a master volume and full ADSR. Having a polyphonic dry mode and ability to also use the ADSR in dry mode is also a welcome expansion on the original. I’m still uncertain how usable the polyphonic mode is for bass although Zach Rizer doesn’t seem to have too much trouble in that video, so I’m cautiously optimistic that some work has been done on pitch detection. The original Enzo does not handle bass chords well in my experience. Im also really interested in the ability to connect a midi controller to create a full keys synth; which can also be triggered simultaneously with guitar and bass. I think that would make a really powerful, compact and easily transportable bass and keys synth rig! I don’t think I’ll be an early adopter though considering the price. I’ll wait until other people report back. There is also a desk top editor nearing completion which will also be really helpful for patch creation and organisation.

    Zach Rizer’s demo. I’ve been waiting for this release. I’m very interested.

    Double posting - mods, please delete ☺️

    Really nice. I don’t suppose you happen to have a Subterranea or Dubterranea in your collection. Would love one of those!

    This is good to know. I think anyone who opts to name one the FourFliptops is then obligated to buy four and run them all in series. If he does rename the pedal using one of your suggestions @Quatschmacher, I think you should receive one gratis.

    It is out of my budget too unfortunately as much as I’d like to support him. I follow him mainly for his occasional covers and bite size lessons; the pedals are a bonus. Great player. His series of video lessons are brilliant too.
  20. HoorayForAnonyms
    B-Fifteena Marie is excellent! Quite like the Four FlipTops too. Well done, sir.
  21. HoorayForAnonyms
    The price is indeed steep and it being probably mostly made to order means trialling one beforehand would be unlikely. And I struggled to come with a more apt pun. ChatGTP had a tough time too…

    Celebrity Pedals have released a very small run of pre amps modelled after the Ampeg B-15 dubbed ‘Smells Like B-15 Spirit’. Celebrity Pedals don’t have a website but should be up on their Reverb store at some point. Nice to have another option to add to the small but growing list of builders that offer something like this alongside Sushi Fx, Shiftline, Broughton, Ampeg SVT-DI and likes. @Quatschmacher Might be of interest?

    Just the Tu3s down the local Wetherspoons on a Thursday night… 😛

    Apologies in advance for the messy cabling but a recent house move has meant I now have space for a more permanent home pedal set-up. I feel very fortunate.
  25. HoorayForAnonyms
    I recall reading this. I think running it behind a buffer rectified the issue. Good to know the Grand doesn’t have the same issue.
