I’d say the OC2 is a bit more synthy whereas the Octabass is more growly. Additionally, there’s an updated model of the Mutron III envelope filter in the Helix which could feasibly kick the stompbox equivalent off our boards too. Need to find a demo of that particular effect block on the Helix... You can get closer to an OC-2 using one of the other random effects that's not even an octaver, pitchringmod or something. I did post the settings elsewhere a long time ago! Is that a new Mutron model? I wasn't blown away by the filters when I last dipped my toes in, but a decent Mutron would probably seal the deal for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea! Although I have done the “what do you mean new, have had it for ages” routine too often and she has caught on. No the solution probably is to take her shoe shopping.... so I probably need to spend 600. Bargain ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda of relic'ing pedals, right? Yup that could definitely catch on. After all there's a whole bunch of folk who passionately prefer their basses to look fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Rats! 🐀🐀🐀Just had an email from Andertons saying that they will be getting their order on 5 November. That's an age. I'm sure they said it would be in stock today on their website when I ordered yesterday. 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without snapshots and without having dedicated footswitches to turn blocks off and on, I doubt that only having 6 blocks is going to be a massive problem to most people. However I personally couldn't live without the snapshot function as there is too much latency when switching between very different sounds without using snapshots. I had missed the lack of Snapshots. that would be a breaker for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a “Helix grade” Mutron model which I guess means it involves their component-level-emulation tech. I remember the old Mutron model on my Line 6 M5 which wasn’t bad but certainly would never dethrone the likes of my Fwonkbeta. I’d be interested to hear the newer Mutron model with bass - I may ask the goodly folk in the HX thread over on Talkbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall anyone mentioning anything as sordid as prostitution (until now)? 😂 I'm suggesting a one-off outright spousal sale (to a very good home) and for a large capital sum to fund all future pedal purchases whilst getting rid of the need to seek permission for such future purchases at the same time. I hope you can start seeing the merit in the suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a similar faff when the B3n came out in the first part of last year with the thing taking forever to actually arrive. I'll re-order when stock has genuinely arrived in the UK (and not necessarily from Andertons). Anyway at least it takes the pressure off me to get a review done for you by cob Tuesday 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
