Crazy good, right???

There is a lot I like about the SubT and some things I'm not so sure about. So far, I'm digging the following settings:

Octosynth: 0-11:00 am
Unisynth: 0
Octave: 12:00-dimmed
Filter: 9:00- 3:00
Clean: 0-12:00

I don't really like the square or narrow pulse waveforms, but do like the saw tooth waveform. Truth is I've only had a chance to dink with it a little and hope to spend more time with it and trying it with my other pedals.

But, I do like it better then my OC2... tracks better and covers the same territory.

Edit: I was looking at how I had the SubT set up last night and realized that it's the saw tooth waveform I liked best... followed by the narrow pulse waveform.
 
^^^ That may be the most Talkbass'inest pedal board I've ever seen. All the TB stars are there. A treasure trove of bass-optimized awesomeness.

Talk bass is a genuine hazard to my bank account. :help:

However, I do have a rule that if I don't use a pedal in one of my bands, I don't keep it. So, each of those pedals are used in my roots/rock and dub/electronic bands.
 
I don't know if this has been discussed before so please forgive me if this question's redundant, but what about the clean sub-octave and its OC2-ishness. Can it get louder than that on the OC2?

A good bit louder


well I will say that the updated version has a lot less gain on tap than the original, I am not in a position right now to actually check but I'm more than certain that it is louder than the oc-2
 
Also, gonna repost a short jingle I recorded a while ago using the Sub-T and a Source Audio BEF Pro just to give you an idea of how it sounds with a foot swept lowpass filter. I'll record something new with the Xerograph Deluxe if people still want that.

This was done with the un-modded pedal, btw.

Reminds of csiny cut scenes, when they're looking at evidence! Sounds really cool.
