HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! Markbass pedals!!!

[Mr M]

Wow, they look damn sexy.
Yellow-black color is one of the most attention catching combo (that's why they are used in traffic signs and safety equipment) and also I think is a part of Markbass company identity (brown to UPS etc.)
Hopefully they won't sell it more expensive in Europe (where they are manufactured) than the states (remember the amps?).
I'd like to hear that synth...

The sheer size of those thangs appear to be a deal-breaker for me

 

[TaySte_2000]

I actually think they are just the Ashdown line.

i.e. shame chinese factory, different labelling

But I'm guess either way I'm not even remotely interested in these

The bodies of these pedals and the Ashdown ones are completely different, not to mention the control layouts...
Anyway, I'm insanely curious about them.

 

[Toasted]

Aww geez, they look like all kind of suck.

 

[katri]

I'm not impressed and as everyone else has said they look just like the ashdown pedals (which were p*** poor IMO)
I think that some companies should stick to what they do best.

the size of the yellow ones seems to be "normal" as you can see on the right flyer... i always wanted the VLE/VFP as a floorpedal, cause i don`t like the markbass amps but i love the sound of the VFP - so if this baby also got a DI it would be just perfect for me

Additions in-line:

OK, here's what I can make out:

Bottom yellow pedal (far left): Not much except that it appears to have an XLR jack on the side, so possibly some kind of DI?

Top yellow: Nothing. EDIT: After seeing Sound Chaser's post, I am inclined to agree with him. It looks like a VLE/VPF pedal (Vintage Loundspeaker Emulator/Variable Pre-shape Filter)

Bottom left black: Name [Synth], Knobs [Range, Sensitivity, Mix], Switches [Down/PS1, True Bypass, Up/PS2]. I'm guessing that PS is preset.

Top left black: Name [Compressor], Knobs [(1) Looks like the first word is 'Clean' (2) Threshold (3) No idea (4) Attack (5) No idea], Switch [True Bypass].

First knob says Clean Boost, third knob I think says Ratio, fifth knob I think is Sustain, but that one I could be wrong about.

Bottom centre black: Name [Chorus/Flanger], Knobs [Speed, xxxxxxx, Mix], Switches [Boost, True Bypass, Chorus/Flanger].

Middle knob says Width

Top centre black: Name [Unknown, but from knob labels I'm guessing that is an octave pedal], Knobs [Oct 1, Oct 2, Mix], Switches [the only one I am seeing is 'True Bypass']

Pretty sure the name says OCTAVER, and the right switch says OCT 1/2

Bottom right black: I think that the nearest knob says 'Decay', so it may be a delay pedal.

I actually think this is a reverb pedal, because I am almost certain the middle knob says Pre Delay

Top right black: I'm guessing that it is Distortion, but that is just deduction and the length of the name.

I can't get anything out of that one

 

[Nyarlathotep]

I'd be interested in the synth fo' sho'

 

[bassman1185]

Yeah, the synth could be pretty dang cool. I'm also interested in how that DI will turn out.

 

[Thunderscreech]

I want to see what they make!!

If a Programmable Bass Driver DI-sansamp-esque thing is in there, I may have eyes for it!

 

[sleepy_monkey]

They must have had DeWalt make the chassis

 

[skychaserhigh]

If Markbass made toilet paper there would be someone around here raving about it and saying it's a must have !!

Can you imagine how light it would be?

 

[Jared Lash]

I still wouldn't buy it. Yellow and black might be fine for amps & pedals, but it only trails yellow and brown in terms of worst idea for a toilet paper combo.

Showing your age, but it's OK...old farts like me got it

I hate to judge pedals on appearance alone, but the bigness of most of them isn't helping me like them. The yellow I could care less about, but I must admit that when I set my LMII on top of one of my blue check B-15 cabs, I want to cry

 

[skychaserhigh]

Funny !!!!
