gorandelac Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Hey guys I just bought 3Leaf Audio Octabvre [url="http://www.3leafaudio.com/products.html"]http://www.3leafaudi...m/products.html[/url] Can't wait to get it, here are some youtube clips: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UltgMDJbm00"]https://www.youtube....h?v=UltgMDJbm00[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ1WbyswG5U"]https://www.youtube....h?v=rQ1WbyswG5U[/url] Edited December 9, 2014 by gorandelac Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I hope you enjoy it. The vids don't sell it to me unfortunately. Maybe if I get to try one in person, it might be different Quote

gorandelac Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 Knowing that my buddy got it and we have same taste in sound, specially when he retired his OC2 after long time, this is an acually right pedal for me without testing it, but I know what you guys mean! Will do a review after it arrives! YAY Quote
gorandelac Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) here is a video presenting 3Leaf Audio Octabvre vs. Boss OC2 (Japan) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7h4C3u6iCE&list=UUpoqWCc6KEdFd0frCDOzK9Q"]https://www.youtube....KEdFd0frCDOzK9Q[/url] Edited December 14, 2014 by gorandelac Quote
Kev Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I mean, a video like this (paired with the other video comparing it to the Mutron) and I'm completely sold, but why do I still get the feeling that this will not get too many OC-2's off the board? Quote
Sibob Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 To me, that video just proves that the OC-2 still has more sub?! Although I will say the Octabvres Mu-tron side, into the Envelope Filter does sound great! Si Quote
Bigwan Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I think all that video proves is that you can't really decide until you play them yourself. They both sound good to me. There's a split second IN PASSING where the 3leaf IS as fat sounding as the oc2 which makes me think there could have been more of an attempt to make them sound alike, and the -2 octave on the oc2 is brought into play at one point, which makes comparison difficult since the 3leaf doesn't do it. If I didn't have a COG fuzz/octave combo due I'd be tempted to try the 3leaf. Tom's octave has similar sound shaping options to the 3leaf, but without the switching flexibility as standard - something Tom could rectify in a custom build no doubt.

GazWills Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I'm trying to resist on this one but it is tempting!! Thing is, I'm starting to resent all the money I've spent on pedal quests over the years, and my OC-2 with a DOD octoplus on the shelf does everything I need... I'd really love to try one of these with my fuzz pedals though Quote
GazWills Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I definitely think I'd use the option of switching the clean signal off and on mid song, but I don't know that that is worth the £££ Quote
Kev Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 [quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1418760394' post='2633104'] I definitely think I'd use the option of switching the clean signal off and on mid song, but I don't know that that is worth the £££ [/quote] If that isn't, justify it with a very, very convincing version of the two greatest octaves ever made in one pedal. I would already have purchased one if I had the moolah! Quote

Personally, I do not know if I would dig it (I am not a massive fan of the OC-2 anyways...) but I do like the approach with the SUB SOLO thingy going on. Quote
paulo m Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Im Staying with my OC2...why? Because its the Original of this Synthy Bass Sound!! .& while the 3 leaf stuff is good..(i have the Proton II) mixed with the boss...The Sounds is just as convincing as the Octabvre....Plus a big factor for me is that i only use the synth bass thing infrequently...& i dont think this box will out strip....the OC2.

gorandelac Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Still have OC2, but didn't use it since Octabvre, so I like it a lot... Quote
