Pedal Details
I purchased this Omnicomp because I've heard good things. Compressors are very personal and what works for one person is only a rough guide as to what might work for someone else. Here's my experience: I liked the Omnicomp more than the Origin Effects Cali76 CB and Doc Lloyd Photon Death Ray. I found it less noisy than the former and less colorful (but still fairly colorful) than both of those compressors. I'm happy with a little bit of color from a compressor, but I'm mostly looking for feel/response and how it thickens up my sound. I liked the Omnicomp less than the Doc Lloyd DLA-2A (hardly a fair match-up, I know) because while the Omnicomp provides a similar amount of color (with more control and in a smaller enclosure), it does not provide the same smooth feel. I also liked it less than the Empress Bass Compressor because the latter lets you control the side-chain HPF, has brilliant metering, and is wonderfully transparent while also providing a tone of color via tone switch when you want it. I've played other compressors (Cali76 TX-L, Rothwell Love Squeeze, etc.), but this listing is not the place to write up an extensive review. Suffice it to say that the Omnicomp is a good compressor and I see why it is the compressor of choice for many players. But it is not the right compressor for me.
Folks are always raving about this pedal and I'm glad I got to try it because I like the Studio One way more than I thought I would. I'm not an EQ in pedal format guy: I play active bass and prefer to make adjustments using my internal preamp since it saves room on my pedalboard. But that said, the Studio One brings so much to the table that I'm tempted to keep it. Not only is it an 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, but it offers a HPF, LPF, XLR out, and NEVE 1073 console tone. And it's a gorgeous looking pedal: really cleanly laid out. This is one pedal I do not mind keeping. I'll be able to find a use for it.
This is my second time trying the Subsonic and it's just not for me. I prefer the 3 Leaf Octabvre MKII and MKIII for the sort of bass synth sounds I generate. The Tim voicing is the sound I want. If you are looking for an OC-2 sound, well, this is it. Insane amounts of headroom and volume as well.
My Subterrograph is from the second 2023 run. I'm a big fan of this pedal: it sounds better than the Subterraneae units I have owned in the past and it looks so cool. But I have two Xerograph Deluxes already so I only use this for the Subterranea circuit. Therefore I would really like to trade this for a good-sounding Subterranea. Yes, I could sell one of my XDs and keep this, but my XDs are both nicely handpainted examples (one is a custom painted unit) so I'd like to keep those and add in a Subterranea.
I love the Nimbus SE. First because it's designed for the bass regiser. The independent wet and dry volumes are crucial. But it's the filter voicings for the treble and bass that really let you dial things in. Plus the reverb just sounds spectacular. It's a hall reverb. Before I owned an SE I had a regular Nimbus and I thought the SE was basically just expression control. It is that (controlling the size or volume of the reverb with an expression pedal is has much musical utility), but it's also so much more: the second stompswitch lets you send the pedal into full wet oscillation without an expression pedal plugged in. That's super useful. You can also set it so you can play over a fixated reverberation, etc. I use it for solo classical repertoire (a touch of reverb to add presence and space, but not so much it's unnatural) and for synthy soundscapes. Doing sweeps with the XD when the Nimbus is at the end of the chain makes for these wonderfully rich mwwaaahhhh tones. I'm putting this up for trade because I have two and, now that I've finalized my mini board, I only need one.
The JAM Delay Llama Xtreme uses three 3205 Bucket Brigade Delay chips to achieve that classic, warm, analog delay sound. Plus it's got tap tempo--an absolutely essential feature for playing live with other musicians--with subdivisions, pitch shifting, and sequencing capabilities. Oh, and presets! Just a brilliant piece of engineering, not unlike the Chase Bliss Thermae. And it sounds great on bass. Finally, I should mention the handpainted llama. Nothing says "I slap" like a handpainted llama on your pedalboard.
Additional Information
TRADES: I can do +/- cash as needed. You can hit me up with non-listed trade offers, but I've secured all my unicorns and my boards are full so I'll almost certainly decline. Please note that my preferences are for boutique builds, fun colors or graphics, 125B enclosures with top jacks, and tube drives.
CONDITION: I have images of all sides of each item available at the links above. Everything is in excellent+ or like new condition. All pedals include the original box and manual if it came with one.
