NOC3 EarthTone Boost Pedal?

[smo]

Hi all,

Anyone have any experience with one of these tiny little boosters, or know how suitable for bass work they'd be?

I seriously considering one......

I dig it. I'll keep it on the radar for sure, at that price and size.

Nice - putting the buffer on/off is a nice feature.

But I really like the idea of cutting the signal too, means I could put it anywhere on the board within reason.
I'm intrigued by the nature of the circuit described by NOC3, reminds me of the ClinchFX EP-Pre pedal.

I wonder.........

OK;
after emailing both Tonefactor and Proguitarshop, I received an email back from both, regarding this pedals suitability for bass.

Quote (more or less the response from both emails)
"The pedal is very transparent. I have no idea how it will sound with a
bass though."
Which is fair - they're primarily guitar places. Just say D'oh!

Can anyone help?

i am searching for a clean boost as well. i tried the Cusack More Louder at my friend's shop and it works well with basses, active or passive. but its too expensive! $199. plus shipping is too much for a clean boost for me.

i PM'ed Tayste about the Catalinbread Serrano Picoso and i had a great comments from him about this little pedal. i guess i will take that one.

If size is not that big of a deal, I have a nice clean boost (a Radial PB1) FS in the classifieds.

Thanks for the offer.
But size is the main reason I'm looking at this leetle thing.

Otherwise I'd just get a Mi Audio BnB, they go for pretty cheap over here

But as far as leetle pedals go;
Have a cut and boost is a pretty cool feature.

Well - bugger it.
Ordered one.

I'll let you know what it's like when I've had some time with it.
If anyone is interested that is.......

[phatbass30]

let us know how it is!

No worries

Give it two weeks for postage - and watch this space.
