jimmyb625 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 These look interesting, they may challenge my gear abstinence resolution for 2022... https://origineffects.com/product/bassrig-super-vintage/ https://origineffects.com/product/bassrig-64-black-panel/ 4 Quote
BillyBass Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I received an email from them about these this morning. So, Origin effects take on tech21! I do like the look of the 'Super Vintage' but its not cheap, just a little shy of £400 from the Origin effects website. 3 Quote
fretmeister Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I was just thinking about Tech 21. Nobody's really challenged them for vintage / SVT type amp in a box pedals for years. Even Darkglass seem to do minimal updates to the VMT line and concentrate on the more modern metal stuff. £400 is a lot of money though - especially as the Tech 21 VT Bass Di is about £235 3 Quote
Musicman20 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 These will no doubt be well thought out, but still, at £400 I'm happy with my Tech 21 pedals or the Helix Stomp. 4 Quote
jimmyb625 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Posted February 22, 2022 I was actually surprised, as I thought it would be more expensive than it is (I don't work for them). It's still a fair chunk of cash though. 1 Quote
krispn Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I think a lot of us have been hoping that Origin would bring out a bass pedal - now we have two - but at the back of my mind I always knew they were gonna be spendy! Still it's good to see more bass specific gear released even if it is a bit out of reach and they do sound good. 2 Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Another pedal that needs a PSU! With many gigs spare plug sockets are a luxury. Quote

I suppose batteries will become a thing of the past for pedals. Many pedals need higher current so batteries sometimes die in under an hour, and disposable batteries are an ecological disaster. Pedal board with a good power supply solves both problems. 4 Quote
Daz39 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 To be fair - all their current products look very nice. The Revival Drive is so knobby and switchy. mmmmm..... 2 Quote
danpb Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 I have a Super Vintage coming. Will report back once it arrives and I’ve had a play. 6 Quote

ryancowell25 Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Me too on a Super Vintage arriving Thursday. Will do the same. 2 Quote
SumOne Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 You can team the super vintage up with the new matching Cali76 Bass compressor: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/220117379735008--origin-effects-cali76-compact-bass-super-vintage-blue-compresso?gclid=Cj0KCQiA09eQBhCxARIsAAYRiym9Ycn1yuuad-PoNz-fdyDfXAPNGxDikTauOpbH62O62iIa_O90IlsaAr8uEALw_wcB 1 Quote
Kev Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Interesting. Ill keep my eyes peeled on the Quad Cortex cloud for captures of these! Big price for a first stab at this area, but then again not so big a price for Origin. Interesting for sure. 1 Quote
JapanAxe Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I was an early adopter of the Revival Drive, which I use in conjunction with an IR loader as a guitar recording front end, and for headphone practice when it’s not convenient to fire up a small valve amp at home. I later added the Compact version to my main guitar gigging pedalboard. My experience is that they work exceptionally well at mimicking the operation of real amps, whether clean or overdriven. I previously used either a Tech 21 PSA1 (which effectively does the job of all the character pedals) or amp models from a Zoom MS50G, but to me the RD trashed both of those. Origin pedals are not cheap but they are so worth it. My first purchase of the new tax year will be a BassRig pedal. So far I am leaning heavily towards the ‘64 Black Panel - what about you? Quote
krispn Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I had one in my basket but then couldn’t decide on which to go for. Thankfully my bank account dictated neither 😀 1 Quote
JapanAxe Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I can see me getting a lot of use out of one of these, both as a recording tool and as a one-box solution should the dreadful day ever come: Silent stage 🥺 1 Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Stadium Stack & Southern Jam sound great 1 Quote
SteveXFR Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Well this isn't going to help my bank balance. I've already got the Cali76 bass compressor and I was looking for a really decent overdrive. It's hopeless trying to resist. 1 1 Quote

JapanAxe Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Whichever one I get, I’m guaranteed to suffer massive FOMO over the other one! 1 1 Quote

Super Vintage due to the super dirty SVT sound. I think that combined with a Stingray will be an amazing heavy metal tone. Quote
