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

[rasthedoctor]

Stomp box compressor with a full array of parameters - that'll be hard to pass up...




...once it gets the Bongo seal of approval, of course.



Edit: clarification

If the British price is any indicator these pedals are going to cost nearly as much as some of their amps. 189 pounds is almost $400 US. I think I'll pass.

+1

although i am tempted by their octaver, but i could probably spend alot less money and get 2 OC2's (one for regular oct down and clean, one for the 'sub' thing), id never use the 1/2 oct switch anyway

the british price includes value added tax. The US price will almost surely be cheaper (before state sales tax)

I should really mention that GuitarAmpKeyboard are a pretty expensive retailer, when the pedals become more widely available, hopefully we'll get some more reasonable prices in the UK

Who's be first to get the Synth ?

189 pounds is $278 US. And if you subtract the VAT, it's $241. Not to mention that products often follow very different pricing structures in different markets...

I think the prices are good considering the features and comparing them to what's out there in the market already. The synth looks pretty full on (we'll see) and is much cheaper than a Chunk OS / Deep Impact. The compressor has lots of knobs and a DI, and the distortion has a crossover in it to leave the low end clean, etc. At least they're not just another boring set of clones!

I do hate the size though and therefore won't be buying them (although the synth might tempt me if it turns out to be awesome). Did Markbass miss the meeting where the Talkbass Effects Forum Denizens decided that small pedals are in fashion for 2009?

I don't get why everyone is griping about the size of these pedals. Yeah, I know we all like as little extra weight to haul around as possible, but given the amount of stuff that they're making these things do, they're certainly not unreasonable.

 

[SnakeAnthony]

I still maintain that these are the least attractive pedals I have ever seen.

My experience of Markbass stuff in the UK is that the price in GBP=price in USD, so the comp may well retail for you guys at under $200.
