    Origin Effects EQ Deluxe (Pultec recreation)

    I guess as a follow up question, people often want transformer equipped DI outputs on these sorts of devices (DI equipped preamps, EQs or compressors), over electronically balanced DI outputs. Transformers in a design, depending on design and transformer choice, can do lot or a little. You...

    Origin Effects EQ Deluxe (Pultec recreation)

    We seem to get a fair number of people asking for a 1073 of some sort from us. It's something that is on our list to investigate the potential in/for (not to say we are doing it, we've considered all sorts of things that have never been made). But the questions that sits with the 1073 is simply...

    Origin Effects EQ Deluxe (Pultec recreation)

    Like all our pedals, it's a mix of both as and where necessary and appropriate. Mostly SMD, but things like box caps, the hefty inductor, connectors and such are all through-hole. All high-quality components, still being put together and populated in the UK. The clipping stage (the simulated...

    Origin Effects EQ Deluxe (Pultec recreation)

    I can see there are a few questions about integrating the EQDELUXE into larger rigs. We'll probably end up making an FAQ video for the EQDELUXE next week, and we'll keep an eye out here for questions and things to demonstrate. All the best, Jacob

    Origin Effects BASSRIG

    Launch should be at around 9am GMT, at which time we'll make our videos live (providing nothing goes wrong). So those in the US should wake up to our videos being live. The pair of bass content creators we have onboard for release will release their videos at some point during the day. So you...

    Origin Effects BASSRIG

    I appreciate your dealer choosing not to share too much. Especially as I sit here, desperately trying to finish the edits on the launch videos. But yeah, we always aim to get stock into dealers hands for launch day. So come Tuesday, you should be able to order from or walk into a dealer and try...

    Why did origin effects stop making big box compressors?

    The big box units were discontinued for a few reasons. At the time of their discontinuation, the compact had eaten into a lot of the demand for the large-format units, what was already low volume became even lower volume. The company was also in the process of moving location, and we had...

    New Origin Effects DCX Bass

    I'm going to make the assumption the Subway Amp you're referring to is the MESA Boogie Subway series? I don't see why you'd have any issues running the DCX straight into the FX RETURN. I can't see documentation specifically saying it's line level, but I doubt it'll matter much, plug in, crank...

    New Origin Effects DCX Bass

    Running the DCX BASS at 12V will bring you no benefit whatsoever. The pedal won't break - we've designed it to take much more serious voltages without issue - but it will run hotter whilst providing no sonic or headroom improvements. The pedal internally boosts the 9V input to varying higher...

    Origin Effects BassRig Ampeg B15 Fliptop recreation

    Feel free to shoot us photos at [email protected] to take a look at what you're seeing. The DCX BASS and an Ampeg B-15 (both the original and our recreation) have a similar approach to EQ in regards to their shapes, and that is; gracious rolling hills, not peaky rocky mountains. So...

    Origin Effects BassRig Ampeg B15 Fliptop recreation

    With the cab defeat, it requires redesigned the backend of the pedal which is obviously work and design time, but component wise, it's reasonably neutral. You'll increase the component count in doing so, but not by much. Adding a headphone out wouldn't be neutral. You'd need a new connector and...

    This has come up in conversation internally many times, especially as we decided to add the feature to the BASSRIG Fifteen (thanks to customer feedback and Philip Conrad assisting in the support of that). That said, we don't currently have any schedule for changing the Super Vintage and '64...

    Origin Effects Bassrig 64 Black Panel - Help!

    I've not recieved any video yet, but going off of the thread as a starting point. If it's sounding fine through headphones, but becoming a big muff through the amp (even through the FX Return), it might be worth checking your gain-staging. It would also be worth checking whether the Mark Bass'...

    Origin Effects Bassrig 64 Black Panel - Help!

    Feel free to send us a video of what you're doing over at [email protected] (use dropbox or wetransfer) and we'll take a look and give you any tips that might assist. Make sure we can see your settings and how you're running things. If you haven't already, I'd recommend starting from...

    Wow, that was fast! We find it very heartwarming that people respect what we do enough to care and voice their desires for something to be made specifically by us. Everyone at the office cares an incredible amount about the work we do, and we often put a lot of ourselves into making them, so...
