Gwilym Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I had an earlier advert trying to sell this some years ago, so let's try again. Originally I said that it's "Nice sounding and I thought would be what I was after I.e. something not too gnarly sounding. Turns out I wanted something gnarly". As it turned out, I don't want gnarly at all Quoted from the Owen web site at the time: Quote Low compression overdrive for bass guitar, two foot switched filters and mix control.This was a very transparent sounding pedal that was great for bassists who wanted just a bit of grit and warmth added to their sound. It comes with the original protective bag, and I also have an instruction sheet for it that Mr. Owen kindly sent to me. £95 posted anywhere in the UK or collection in central London/Shepherd's Bush Trades considered on this, but no fuzz/od/distortion type pedals. Filters, octavers & anything that brings the funk Will load some photos when I've figured that bit out. When I got the pedal I didn't have the manual, and I mailed this to Owen Electronics Quote After playing with it for a while, I have the following observation, and was wondering if you could advise whether the unit is working correctly. Basically there is quite an obvious difference in volume between the "Notch" and "Bandpass" filter channels, when switching between them. When both "Push to mix" buttons are disengaged: - The mix control does nothing for both channels (which makes sense). - The "Bandpass" channel seems to not have a mix of dirty and clean signals (as best as I can describe it) - The "Notch" channel seems to have an "equal" mix of dirty and clean signals (hence sounds louder than the "Bandpass" channel). When both "Push to mix" buttons engaged: - The mix control becomes engaged for each channel, as expected, however: - The "Bandpass" sweep seems to go from only clean signal (clockwise) sweeping to only diry signal (counter clockwise). (This makes sense). - The "Notch" sweep seems to go from only clean signal (clockwise) sweeping to diry signal (counter clockwise), but the clean signal is not "mixed" out. i.e at fully counter clockwise, it sounds like an equal mix of dirty and clean signal. Hopefully I've managed to explain that reasonably clearly? To which I got the following response from them: Quote From your description the pedal is behaving as it should, the Bass Gremlin is a very reliable pedal and rarely develops any faults.

LukeFRC Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I first joined Basschat in 2007 to sell one of these (maybe even the same one) and thought I was only polite to post a few times after selling it... it got out of hand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
