    I was wondering how that was on bass. Sounds great, Jauqo!

    Thanks Thom. The talker pedal really does work nice with bass and that was what really got me interested in wanting to use it with bass. A very interesting pedal and the fuzz mode can get really out there if you want it to.


    Yes it is :)

    Thank you and yes a very interesting pedal.

    it seems to be a "free-floating pedal", for lack of a better way to put (my english sometimes eludes me, as well as my french).

    How can this pedal stay attached to a pedal board ?

    Yes it is a free floating pedal.

    This is how it stays on a pedal board.

    Thx. I'm always looking to have 1 pedal on my board that I have absolutely no use for, other than experimenting. At the moment, I'm rediscovering the Boss AW-3 (similar feature), but the EHX pedal could be the next one...

    Great playing and an interesting sounding pedal!!!

    I can get this sound using multiple pedals, but it's cool to have in in one unit as well. Especially, since it sounds good on bass. I don't know how I feel about needing a cradle to mount it to a pedalboard. If the point is to have an all in one solution, then you don't need a board anyway, though. I'll probably pick one up eventually, just for fun.

    Thanks. The pedal is interesting for a lot of reasons but it's kool that you don't have to use multiple pedals to achieve the same or a similar sound.

    Here's Bootsy with his Talker pedal.

    Jauqo, do you have a y experience with the original Talking Pedal? Just wondering how it stacks up against it?

    Sorry but I do not. This Talker pedal has a serious fuzz mode on it that can really get crazy.

    Kind of gimmicky but definitely brutal. I like how it's sounding in the Bootsy vid stacked with other effects.

    What makes it gimmicky to you?

    Gimmicky is all a matter or perspective. As with all effects, it's a matter of practical application to the individual. Hell, why do I need 6 or 7 different dirt boxes?
    Because I do. :D

    I would be all over this if I had a third foot or if there was an expression out. Controlling a filter sweep and fading in the formant sound would be epic.
