OKKO Motorbass (Lemmy pedal)

[fretmeister]

 

That sounds good!!

[dannybuoy]

Reserve judgement until you have heard someone else demo it, all his demos sound the same!

[fretmeister]

That's true!

Probably true for most reviewers though.

[Cosmo Valdemar]

It also manages to sound absolutely nothing like Lemmy.

[fretmeister]

He should have used a Ricky. Or at least a good copy of one.....

It sounds better than Lemmy. But that's not hard!

[tonyxtiger]

Agreed. Standard darkglass aping with no attempt at the lem tone. Or any other tone for that matter.

Funnily enough, I heard it and thought "Hmm... I don't remember Lemmy using Darkglass." 

I suppose the Darkglass sound is now being so imitated it's kind of becoming passe in a way.

I didn't think it sounded that much like Darkglass (no clean blend on it for a start), but a lot of Patricks demo's sound similar because he's not recording the pedals direct. At one time he was going into Line6 POD modelling, looking at the gear used list, these days he is demoing the pedals into a mic'ed up Darkglass amp and cab. His clean tone always sounds overdriven to start with, sometimes sounding worse when the actual pedal gets engaged!

thing is recording demos direct for pedals in particular drives they will sound awful! however i would like to hear this in a big valve amp think thats where it might sound more at home!

True, but when your base tone is dirty, you can demo a clean boost and everyone is like "OMG THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!"

Then they buy one and put it through the clean solid state rig with a tweetered cab and it sounds nothing like it.

If I use an amp sim like a VT Bass or a B7K at the end of my chain, then I could feed it a with several different distortions and they'd sound pretty similar. Record them direct and they'd all sound very different to each other.

Ideally a demo should have recordings of both,  but the only demos I've seen that did that regularly was the old bassfuzz.com ones!

thats true!

Sounded more like a turbo charged Flea to me. Shame, I reckon backing off of the gain a fair bit and playing a Ricky that might just get a fairly decent Lemmy sound.

Glad I am not the only one to think that 

[dannybuoy]

Here's a good example. Opening riff is his clean tone, already sounding pretty dirty and Darkglassish:

Just Google'd for this pedal... £171?!?!? No thanks

[dannybuoy]

Not sure why you'd want to intentionally replicate his tone either if this is representative of it:

You can't just leave it like that!!

Bump from the dead...has anyone tried one of these in real life? I heard the video (above) for the first time the other day my interest is piqued. 

I am interested in how it sounds when the rest of the band are playing. Too many pedals sound good in isolation but less so in the mix - this is my experience of Darkglass, for example, although I appreciate I am in the minority here. 

[Stealth]

Yes I have used one did a passable Lemmy with a Rick played into a Mesa Head And Barefaced cabs. Don’t expect loads of bottom end or you will lose the Lemmy tone. A lot of that comes from “strumming” with a pick like playing a guitar as “bastard chords” Also a decent drive for the money

Worth it just to have a pedal with knobs labelled faster, harder, louder!
