After seeing the vid: It sounds like a cow being mangled. At least in parts. Others just sound like bad flatulence. |

|  | put a bird on it | | Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Minnesota | | | that frequency knob is a cool idea except it goes a bit too high--the squealing is a turnoff, but once he lowered the range it sounded cool.
If I got one, I would mod it to put a switch on the frequency knob so you could switch to an expression pedal to change the frequency. and if it's a pedal that needs mod'ing, i couldn't justify spending over 60 bucks for the pedal.
Thats been a pet-peeve of mine with pedals that have a variety of usable tones--an inability to switch them on the fly--an expression pedal would be cool and also a stomp switch to engage the stutter effect. |

that was so wrong, my ears.....theres no expression...
did i just hear a combination of pained animal noises over a somewhat distorted bass signal?? I here the cow noises but did anyone else spot the bird having its foot sawed off noise?
And i think its an original LOOK, and i also think that's a very good thing....The case looks like it was constructed from old bits of shoe or used toilet paper |

the video doesn't do the pedal expression capabilities justice. here is another video that shows the pedal being used like a fuzz-wah. it is on guitar, but you get the idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tehgaGcLF4M
i like the idea of using the photocell because it gives you built in expression, without having a separate expression pedal. also, taking up less space on a pedalboard, but i'm sure i'm i'll be ripped a new one for even suggesting that (which i think is also a pretty original idea). the only other pedals i know of off hand with photocells are devi ever effects. |

You need to read the Commercial User Policy that TB has, but once you've done that it should be easy to fit in. Good to have another pedal builder on board (HO HO!) here . http://www.talkbass.com/forum/faq.ph...policy#faq_cup
