I always feel that the colour of the sound of Bass guitars (clean tone) is a warm maroon type colour so that's what I tend to go for in Basses. Although if there was a lot of funky slap and filter stuff going on then it has to be purple.

As the FI is a big brick of a thing I'll guess that didn't fit: OC5>Proton>Octava>VT> Zoom.

I reckon you've gone OC5>Proton>Future Impact>Octava>VT going into the Zoom at the end. Or at least that's the sort of thing I'd probably go for with VT adding some tone shaping and overdrive to the previous pedals then the Zoom to add modulation and delay at the end.

Cheers @la bam and @danbowskill I'll keep my eye out for the Silver Peg too. (I've owned the Crimson Red and really liked it... a set of these one control pedals would be pretty cool).

I'm after a small and relatively cheap mild overdrive pedal with mid control, the 360 seems to tick those boxes. There seemed to be a lot of love for the Silver Peg followed by a lot of them getting sold- any particular reason? Any issues with the 360 or is the love still lasting?!

I seem to be pretty much in agreement with what others have said. My list of favourite to least favourite that I've used: Aguilar Octamizer: This is my favourite for adding a natural/subby tone, and the 'tone' control on clean is useful. It doesn't hold sustained notes very well though so you need to play accordingly. MXR M288: My current Octaver, I have owned two at different times without noticing any low-end warbling when not playing so perhaps they fixed that or it's dependant on your setup (or my ears aren't good enough!). It sounds nearly as good as the Octamizer for the subby side of things and probably tracks slightly better but still needs to be played a bit differently to normal playing, I like the way it can also do quite a decent version of that OC-2 more synthy type sound, and the mid boost is useful when feeding into an envelope filter or distortion/fuzz. Relatively small, well built/reliable and reasonably priced. Helix: Tracks really well and you can select how much for it to pitch both up and down. C4/Spectrum do an excellent job of tracking and decent tones but somehow didn't feel quite as good character of the tones as the Aguilar or MXR and not as easy to make changes as the Helix without phone/laptop plugged in. POG or Sub n Up: Track well but I didn't like the tones of these, but that can be masked if you are using other pedals after them. I'll be giving an OC-5 a try once they're available again (or an Octabvre if they ever become available) so perhaps it will replace the MXR. The only ones I wouldn't really recommend are the POG and Sub n Up as I don't like their Organ type sounds, I guess some people like that though and it's all subjective.

RIP LSP

Bought a pedal from Sam and it arrived quickly and exactly as described - all good. Thanks!

It's a bit all over the place but there are adverts here https://www.facebook.com/groups/bassplayersavailable/?ref=share

It seems that https://www.joinmyband.co.uk might have a bit more stuff going on.

Thanks to @dannybuoywith speedy service of less than 24hrs between payment and delivery I'm now on my 4th MXR M82 and this time I'll keep it! Short story: The MXR M82 has ended my search for bandpass up-sweep filters....but the quest for lowpass and down-sweep filters continues. Long story: On my 4th M82 I think I've finally realised why I keep getting rid of them then going back; there are other filters out there that sound better or have more filter tones or perhaps even do the specific bandpass and sweep up thing better but I think the M82's real strength is down to the extra control it gives so can do things like use it as an 'always on' pedal by setting the sensitivity and decay low to get a dubby tone and use the separate clean + filter volumes to just mix a little bit of it in, or run the sensitivity higher but with the Q low and low filter volume to have a very subtle 'quack' mixed into your clean tone which is useful if doing things like feeding into distortion. Or the usual more obvious full-on filter sound is decent enough - but it's big strength is that it's very dynamic/responsive because you can dial in just the right sensitivity and clean blend etc. so it feels very connected to what you're playing (an issue I've had with few pedals is a subtle disconnect - perhaps latency or taking out the playing dynamics? ...the M82 doesn't have that.)

I go from pedals into a Allen & Heath Xone 23 DJ mixer and out of KRK Rockit 6 monitors (or headphones). Can play along to records or phone/laptop (and use 3 band EQ per channel, also has LPF and HPF) and the mixer has a built-in soundcard so can record to Laptop via USB.

Bought a pedal from Dan in the afternoon and it arrived the next morning all well and as described. Thanks!

That's Possibly my favourite Aswad tune, along with:

My Filter up+down sweep shopping list is: Wonderlove, 00Funk, Micro-tron IV, Maxon AF-9. Unfortunately, other than the AF-9 none seem easily available from shops and the AF-9 is fairly pricy at £184. At that price, on paper it's hard to argue against a Spectrum that's actually slightly cheaper (£182) other than the fact that I owned one and there's something I can't quite put my finger on but it didn't do it for me, perhaps it's the interface or perhaps it's a bit too controlled/tame/predictable (that's what I thought about the EBS too). Plus, it's very tempting to then spend another £100+ on additional control to get more presets without having your phone/laptop plugged in.

I guess it all depends on setup but I found it uncontrollably loud and peaky, needed a compressor after it. Good fwonky sounds though.

I like Beringer stuff but as their pedals are about £20 new with free postage and returns I'm not too inclined to buy second hand just to save £10 (if that) with little buyer protection, especially as they aren't made with build quality and longevity as their #1 priority (although I've never had one break).
