1976fenderhead Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Dunlop have yesterday posted on their Facebook page the photo of a pedalboard with a couple of intriguing pedals in it... Enhanced here: [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/mxr/dunlop/basschorus"]http://www.effectsda...nlop/basschorus[/url] [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/mxr/dunlop/bassoverdrive"]http://www.effectsda...p/bassoverdrive[/url] Don't have much hopes for that OD as I never really liked their distortions, but that Chorus seems interesting, I used to love my Stereo Chorus and only sold it because it was too big and needed 18v... Now if they only did a Bass Flanger with a Mix knob, or had a Flanger option switch in that Chorus like the EBS, I'd grab it straight away! I wonder what those two buttons are for...

dudewheresmybass Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) The talk is that the od is based around the pork loin. Was never a fan of the PL, but I'll give it a try! It's my duty, being an mxr fanboy! Apparently, the chorus does have a flanger switch. The chorus is rumoured to be shipping before the end of the year and the od around namm time (in the states, that is) Edited October 24, 2012 by dudewheresmybass Quote
markm Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/thombrady_bass/IMG_20121020_165030.jpg Found this photo courtesy of a Talkbass member, which confirms that there is a Flanger setting on the pedal. Recently just bought a used Boss CE-5 but could be easily persuaded to get rid of that and buy this, depending on if it's as good as I'm expecting it to be. Think I'll definitely be replacing my Bass Big Muff with MXR's Bass Fuzz Deluxe - seriously impressed with how good their range of bass-orientated pedals are these days. Also just bought the MXR M80 and I'm already over the moon with the sound and quality of it. Definite MXR fanboy in the making. Quote
paul_5 Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Yup, that chorus looks mighty tempting... Quote
ahpook Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 nice to see they've gone down the blend route for the overdrive. Quote
1976fenderhead Posted October 21, 2012 Author Posted October 21, 2012 Yes, new larger image today, if that's a good proper flanger sound and not that kind of weak fake one the EBS has, it's a winner! Quote
Higgie Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 The Chorus appears to have a 2 Band EQ. Nice touch. I've been pretty impressed with the MXR Bass offerings. Although I'm a firm lover of the Octamizer, TLC, and Filter Twin, the MXR Comp, Octaver and Envelope Filter are all GREAT pedals, and if I couldn't use the Aguilar pedals, they're what I'd go for.

0175westwood29 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) That chorus looks awesome!! Add that to a the bass fuzz and a carbon copy gas! Bugger!! Andy Edited October 22, 2012 by 0175westwood29 Quote
Mattbass97 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Because of mxr alone i now want their octave, envelope filter, fuzz deluxe, comp, overdrive and possibly the chorus. Cant wait to get my hands on a few Quote
such Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Me too, with a slight difference: definitely the chorus, possibly the fuzz and/or overdrive, definitely the BlowTorch. Quote
RichF Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 crossover on the chorus is a great option - retain lows and sparkle the top. If the flanger's decent then you have a real winner. Ships December apparently. Quote
51m0n Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 If its like the Stereo Chorus crossover (and there is no reason to think it wont be, that bass chorus pedal is awfully similar to a lot of what the stereo chorus offers) then, for me, its not too good, since it doesnt just drop the effect out of the bottom octave, it also gives a quite hefty bass boost which I dont want. Be interested to see if this pedal does the same thing..... Do love the stereo chorus though, its lovely (apart from that one niggle, and the 18v thing). Quote

LeftyBiskit Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Dammit-I feel another bout of gas building up Quote
shizznit Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 MXR have really done a great job with the bass fx pedals in recent years and I am sure these new pedals will be equally as good. Very intrigued about the OD pedal. Can't wait to try one! Quote
Mattbass97 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Look what I found!!!! http://youtu.be/l8mV_nGQeWc Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Cant wait to try them myself now. Thanks for posting the vid dude! Quote
Mattbass97 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 [quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1351415574' post='1850858'] Cant wait to try them myself now. Thanks for posting the vid dude! [/quote] I camt wait aswell! and No problem Quote
1976fenderhead Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 This sounds really good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuP6h7Yozes&feature=youtu.be Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Forgot to update after the bass show- I got to try both at the west side booth at the show. They had provided headphones to check te pedals out amongst the slappy pissing contest, and I discovered that the chorus sounds great but suffers with a lot of noise over the sound, although would probably go unnoticed in a mix, and the overdrive is very very dark. I'm going to try them both again in a better environment, since I'm a bit of an mxr fanboy, and really want to like them Quote
thumbo Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I'm impressed with the sound of the overdrive in that vid, it's a really nicely done demo. Here's more of Juan, this time with the chorus.

1976fenderhead Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I'd love to have this chorus but £170 is more than I can justify for this type of effect Edited March 30, 2013 by 1976fenderhead Quote
