topo morto Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) [s]This is a lot of fun but I'm in 'downsizing' mode so offering for sale.[/s] SOLD. It's probably the most versatile pedal I've tried- with the gate, blend, a wide range of drive, and a useful tone control it can do all sorts of distortion and fuzz for bass (and guitar too). Very cool-looking and fun to use - looks and feels like something from a 60's war! Downsides are that it's a little noisy (nothing you'd notice live or in a mix though) and the fact that the blend control is internal (as shown in pic) but nothing to spoil the fun. VGC.

Bassy bits are at the beginning and at @3:47. pics: Edited March 4, 2011 by topo morto
naruki Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Does it work with active basses? And what's the difference between that version and the one feature in BassFuzz.com [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC42uMZ7v3Y&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC42uMZ7v3Y...player_embedded[/url] ?

From the samples on their website, the 'oscillating fuzz mode' doesn't sound all that relevant to bass (http://www.3xfx.com/audio/fm_oscillating_lead_2.mp3) so the V1 might actually be better for bass..? I've not tried the V2 though myself. I don't have an active bass myself, but [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/3xfx-fatman-v2-319262/"]this thread[/url] mentions no issue in the 'Fatman' (i.e. V.1) mode - only a difference in the 'fuzz' mode. Hope that helps!
