Grygrx Does Random Effects Samples by Request ;)

I'd go OC-2-->Pickle-->Groove Regulator but that's just me.

Putting a fuzz first will interfere with the Boss' tracking a bit, but you still could go that route.

Not quite the same thing but heres:

and then a second run swapping the BOD for the OC-2. Or vice versa, I don't remember.

I've sold my OC-2 now, but it always sounded better after my Supercollider than before it. Tracking wasn't really noticeably worse, and it sounded so much phatter because of the clean synthy octave sitting under the fuzz rather than the octave going into the fuxx and turning into mush.

Why not do OC->GR->Pickle, Pickle->OC->GR and OC->Pickle->GR? :D

I'd be interested to hear them, but in general octaver into fuzz into filter sounds best.

But the Groove Regulator does have an effects loop so the best combo (in terms of tone and harnessing dynamics) is likely:

OC-2-->Groove Regulator with the Swollen Pickle in the effects loop.

Effects loops are awesome other than that they take the pedals in the loop out of your chain completely if the pedal isn't engaged. That's why I think it was a stroke of genius on kevteop's part to ask Mario to mod his Meatwad to do both.

I prefer the sound of filter before fuzz. Is the pickle one of those fuzz pedals that is fairly sensitive? I don't have an envelope filter at the moment, but when I did, I preferred the sound of the filter before both my fuzz pedals (TZ-2 and Russian Muff).

It's probably just a matter of personal preference...

Maybe it's just the different speakers talking, but for some reason this clip sounds different than other Blueberry clips I've heard. Unfortunately it's a good different and I can't afford that much for a pedal.

Also, when I saw the title of this thread this was the first thing that popped into my head:

Just to be clear, the BBBOD is only on for the second half of that clip - the first half is grygrx's clean tone. Don't want to come off as captain obvious if you already knew that but he does have a different clean tone than say, nad who also did some great Blueberry clips.

But given his clean tone, that's absolutely the sound of the Blueberry in the second half. My favorite setting on the BJF was pretty close to that, but with the gain dialed down a bit so it was mostly clean unless you dug in a bit. Fantastic for fingerstyle funk.

I figured it was his clean tone at the start, but the dirty tone wasn't the BBBOD sound I'm used to hearing, but I've only heard clips from nad and the BBOD-Catalinbread-Angler shootout.

Whenever anybody hears something unexpected about the Blue Berry, always remember the first rule: Bjorn is a genius. I always used mine for heavy gain, but it does a lot more than just that. The only pedal I miss. Sometimes.

Also, fuxx is the best typo ever.

The blueberry is an odd beast, it seems to coax a slightly different flavor out of each bass I try with it.

Pickle & Groove Reg & OC2 (in many orders)

More warts than usual here, just plowing through ;)

I always start clean and then turn them on OC2, GR, Pickle

Pickle -> OC2 -> Groove Regulator
