TBH its still an awesome bass for the money. just not for me because of the hole in the thing. you would probably make a few quid if you got it repaired it and sold it.

I went to see this today. It's in pretty good Nick except for a serious dent on the side-front corner. It needed a good clean and a setup and would benefit from some new strings. I was going to buy if it weren't for the damage.

i did exactly this with a BS2 and an LS2 it worked a treat!

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1508280604' post='3391125'] Any news from Tom? Interested to know [/quote] had a reply from tom... [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hello,[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Sorry for the delay in my reply, very busy here at the minute [/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] It's not the octave up, it's a byproduct of the down octave generation. At playing volumes it shouldn't be audible over the main voices though. [/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Thanks,[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Tom[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] so its confirmed. the pedal is designed like that. [/size][/font]

He sold it on gumtree. But couldn't end the listing so just put the price up instead

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1507757521' post='3387844'] Well I tried mine with all the controls off and "well I never" there is a slightly (very quiet) buzzy tone!! When I turn the clean and low octave on it sounds clean! Albeit with the tone I have on the filter mines a much older one! [/quote] cheers lee. that sounds like what im hearing! so are you able to hear the buzzing when just soloing the ""down"?? [quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1507791499' post='3387908'] Now I have no experience of the pedal in question, but isn't it an inherent feature of electrical equipment that there will potentially and probably is some form of back ground hum. You have active pups in a bass and your mobile phone is in your pocket, you get a hum. Most distortion pedals, give some hum, or any pedal has the potential (least being a tuner) Pre amps in an amp can give a slight hum. The simplest is touching the jack on a cable, or even a little rattle in the socket gives a hum. The real question is how much does it matter. Headphones and silent practice at home, everything becomes monster, your playing sounds worse because you hear everything and every nuance, but actually you start playing along a track or in a band mix and I would wager that it all disappears and you won't have someone out front saying "crikey the bass players pedals at scratchy, I couldn't sing along to Mustang Sally it was so off putting..." Just my opinion of course. [/quote] its not a hum. the pedal is passing signal. the pedal is actually very quiet when on, but not playing.

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1507741764' post='3387664'] When I turn the" up"channel off on mine, it goes clean as my T16 used to!! I'll try it when I get home from work and confirm (as I've been using it with a touch of up on all the time! ) [/quote] Greatly appreciated Lee! It would be odd to design a pedal with this behaviour. Let me know what you find. Cheers

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1507727101' post='3387509'] My T16 (octave down only) has the same thing. It's just the character of the octave down sound, but can be dialled out with a little turn of the Filter knob. Edit: unless you mean the filter knob doesn't get rid of the upper harmonic sound? [/quote] do you mean to say if all dials are zero, you still get a trebley distorted scratchy sound?

Im experiencing a strange behavior with my new (to me) pedal. when all dials are at zero, i still hear some of the "up" sound. this can never be dialed out.... so the deep subby synth tone i look for from an octaver is not within reach on my pedal. is this the same for all T65s? or is mine a dud? Note: i have already emailed Tom at cog effects but no response as yet. understandable really as im sure he is a busy man! thanks
