Totally agreed, if you haven't got an amp that is going to fairly represent the sub that the OC-2 kicks out, you may perceive that as a volume drop. Your ears expect to hear the mids of the direct signal, so when you take that away, and perhaps miss all the lows its kicking out, it could leave you wanting. Si

I tried one for a very short period of time, I use an OC-2 a lot regardless of the genre and wasn't overly keen on how it affected its tone. I'd like to have a bit more time experimenting, but not in a huge rush Si

Yeah I run the Octave 2 full off and Octave 1 full on. The direct signal depends on the gig, standard pop/rock gigs I run it at about 3 or 4 o'clock. If something a bit more dub/synth is required, full off, mmmmmmm . If you have an older Octaver OC-2 (note the additional 'R'), they did have a small gain drop. The newer Octave OC-2 should be pretty much unity. Si

The Stache sounds even better when getting pushed by other stuff too. So get that Demon King feedback pushing the Stache BDPG into Stache is the one! Si

Yeah Rat with a 2nd od is what I'm running. Although might not work in a smaller enclosure (you'd want 2 switches). Could do a Dark Driving with a boost, have it always on but 1 switch for boost as you said. Si

Yeah the Boss PS-6 has a momentary 'whammy' esque feature. It's exactly why I got one, for a small-footprint whammy. Cheers Si

Is it worth noting that all the 'named' bass players in your initial post, whilst being associated with one bass, will own numerous basses. Jaco had numerous Jazz basses as well as acoustics, 5strings etc. Sheehan has all sorts. Harris quite a few P-basses. Lemmy, not sure, but probably a bunch of Ricky's. Marcus Miller has said stick to one bass and really get to know it so it's a part of you, which clearly he's done with his Jazz.......but he still has a bunch of basses including Foderas etc. So....you know.....do what makes you happy Si

I'm definitly in a minority, thought the 900 was horrible, not one useable sound with a P or J through a Compact. Not a patch on my LMII or even the Tiny Terror at the time. Played with all sorts of Vol/Gain/Master combo's, EQ etc. Nothing. But yes, I'm the 1% here Si

I don't think anyone is suggesting that the Meatbox is musical.....it's completely stupid, over the top and imperfect....but therein lies it's beauty and character . The Octamizer is of course smoother, more refined and consistent etc, but does that make it a little less interesting?.....personal preference The expense is mostly down to hype, but as with anything, also scarcity. I'm working on a clone that will hopefully come in under the price of the Mantric copy and the MB itself, the circuit is finished and built, but as with anything, the devil is in the detail. Needs more testing and finding an enclosure is tough. Fingers crossed. Si

I wouldn't base the OC-2 on the OC-3 'modeller' either. It's like forming an opinion on the old Boss DM-2 analogue delay based on the DD-7 digital 'model' of it. Si

OC-2, end of Nothing like the OC-3, although depends if you want a polyphonic octaver, the OC-2 is monophonic. Si

I'm putting together a GGG green muff at the mo, probably same circuit, so will let you know Si

Never had a problem with the finish, because, shock-horror....I bought covers for them. It does amaze me the amount of people who don't cover their cabs during transit (Ant I'm staring at you! ) I do have issues with the feet ripping out, but hey, I've had the same issues with Ampeg, Ashdown etc etc. Matchstick shoved in, re-screw it Si

Perhaps make the jump to a US standard. I had a Squier CV Jazz for a while, and while they're great basses for the money, it certainly didn't match up to my US Jazz in tone and feel (although the finish was almost on par). Even the mexican built Road Worn series gets a lot of love Si

Will hopefully be along, my other half lives in Hatfield, so no excuse really lol Si
