| | | | You need to be more specific. What kind of sounds are you looking for?
Get a Radial JDI for a great simple DI.

| | | | Too many to list, you may want to try a search, I've spoken about pedals quite a few times in the past.
Comp: no preference, I don't use them.
Octave: Aguilar pedal - the new one. SO sick.
Fuzz: Chunk Brown Dog, B:assmaster or Wooly Mammoth
Dist: Sans VTBass or GT2.

About right. I personally feel like I can get pretty close to the OC-2 tone with it. It sounds incredibly organic and natural with an great range of tonal capabilities. It's the best sounding analog octave pedal I've ever played...

However, there have been some reported issues with higher-output basses on the higher strings (the G-string in particular.) Aguilar can mod the pedal to perform better with higher-output basses. Just contact them...Dave and the rest of the guys at Aguilar will take care of it.

But I wanted something more natural than the OC-2 but not as expensive as the Bass Octave Deluxe. Octamizer might go on the Christmas list.

Mine was a little glitchy with tracking with my Tele-bass, but sounded fantastic with my jazz.
There's a space on my PT mini just waiting for it to return, so hopefully when I get it back all will be well.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
