Still no release date though...except that the synth and octaver say "coming 2009" that is.

Dang, and I just invested in some EBS Black Label.

Yep. I'll be having some of those.

Wow, the supersynth sounds ambitious!

You can either use the synth output or mix in your dry bass sound. Preset parameters can be modified using the supplied software, and downloaded back to the pedal from your computer via the USB connection.
edit: then again its a digital modeler so whatever

Digital modeler or not, if it tracks that well and sounds at least as good as a Boss, I'm there.

it DOES sound pretty awesome - like a microkorg stompbox or something...

edit: but Jimmy, I've already contacted the US markbass distibutor and informed them of your "problem" - they won't be supplying you with any pedals, and an intervention is currently being planned

I wonder how the Synth will compare to an Octavius Squeezer

I wish they made the octaver 1 up and 1 down.

Whats the practical use of 2 octaves down on bass anyway?

£269 for the synth, pretty reasonable (if it's any good).

Thanks for the link.

Seems pretty reasonable, but MB has always had good pricing. I hope they're available in the states too! Well, off to search!

My resistance is wearing down on ordering an OS.

Man, that's almost $US400. Any idea what the price is without VAT?

Divide by 1.15. 269 divided by 1.15 = 233.91.
