I got so excited I totally forgot to record it. I had the box open faster than I could think. Sorry fellas. Now to play it!! :)
 
Hellz yeah bud! Be careful of all the pitch possibilities on your board now.


I know, I soon realized that after I hooked it up and started playing it. In all honesty, I haven't messed with a what all that much. But I already see some possibilities for existing songs my band has. That's a good sign. Can't wait to get it in the mix at practice. Gonna be a great tool for accent parts.
 
I just spent the past hour playing with my new toy!!!! Amazeballs. I did an unboxing vid, but don't have the ability to get it together and uploaded until maybe tomorrow. Without a doubt, this is the most 'musical' pedal for bass. Brush up on your theory, folks - these intervals have my mind SWIMMING! Thanks DigiTech!
 
How does it sound when used as octaver (can it do dry+octave down?)


My opinion here is that while the clean/octave setting on the BW tracks extremely well, it doesn't allow for the versatility that some of the octaver pedals have. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that with the Boss OC-2 and MXR Deluxe Octavers you can dial in 2 lower octaves, as well as dial in/out the dry signal. The BW is amazing, however it will not replace my Octave pedals.
