GremlinAndy Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Hi guys. A guy I speak to in Russia makes 'boutique' pedals under the name "U Sound". I'm wondering if any of you know/own any of his pedals and if you do, what your thoughts are? Quote
ratman Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I googled them and found http://www.u-sound.net/?body=sale.php Some great paint jobs. There are a few reviews on You Tube too. Quote
GremlinAndy Posted December 3, 2013 Author Posted December 3, 2013 I own a couple, great pedals and he's a great guy, but they aren't popular over here and I can't understand why.... So I decided to ask... Not much of a result yet though, which kind of proves the point. Quote
Sibob Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I've heard of them, but know nothing about them. A guy on here once was desperate to find one of their Compressors......don't know how that story ended though lol Si Quote
GremlinAndy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 I was trying to track down a Yellow Q pedal a couple of years ago after hearing one on you tube. Asked on here but eventually got in touch with Oleg myself, directly in Russia. He's a lovely guy and made purchasing very easy. The Yellow Q turned out to be tuned for guitar players really, and a bit too sensitive for bass, but after chatting with him, he sent me a diagram of the resistor I would need to replace, with a new value one. (Haven't tried it yet as I love it as a guitar pedal tbh) But he's a nice guy and will make a pedal suit ones needs if needed. He's currently making a Darkglass clone pedal prototype which might be very interesting. And perhaps cheaper, I dunno... I have a b3k. And a vintage, so if I buy one of Olegs pedals I'll let everyone know how it compares... Quote
GremlinAndy Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 I was wrong. It's a Vintage clone. It's available now, but I've not heard one yet. No sound clips available ATM. http://www.u-sound.net/?id=61 Apparently it works out at about £110 plus £10 postage Quote

ratman Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I've been in touch with Oleg, and he gave me this link for the CMOS Bass OD audio samples page. He says it's a 'modified Vintage Microtubes clone'. http://www.u-sound.net/basssamples.htm Quote
GremlinAndy Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah I had a listen. I think he posted the link a day after I last posted. It actually sounds quite cool. Quote
