Mooer Pedals club!!

They work very well together. My only wish with them is that I wish the Tender were capable of the more dirty, synthy sounding octave like the OC-2 does. It is almost too clean, more POG than Boss, if that makes sense. There is a demo video up on YouTube where Andy plays those two together. I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for the video, I'm replacing my Pog with it so that's actually what I wanted to hear

I'm actually running two octave pedals on my board right now. The Tender for that clean octave thing, and a Behringer OC-3 clone for the boss dirty/synthy thing. I run the behringer in the loop of my VT deluxe, so it's only in the path when it is being used. So far it is OK.

I have a Sweeper too, but...
haven't you guys got any problems with loss of low end when the pedal is engaged?
I think the pedal is great for when the bass can be more prominent in a funky way, but in a band setting I always feel like I lose some bottom when kicking in the Sweeper. Right at the moment you don't want to lose any bottom...

I am thinking about putting it in a loop with a clean blend, but on the other hand that would be a pity seen by the nice pricetag and the tinyness of the Mooer itself.
 
I play a PJ bass with BEAD tuning. Out of the FOG, Thunderball, Black Secret, and Green Mile which pedal is best suited for low tuned bass. I play modern alt. metal. I really like the idea of these little pedals and my MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe is a little too fizzy for my taste. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
 
Ninety Orange, Ensemble Queen, and Thunderball so far. Can I get a number? Anyone tried the Hustle Drive or it's Eno clone the Trouble with bass yet? Also any good Micro compressors out there?

Update - 2/13/17:
I have added a Bass Sweeper and a Tender Octaver. I have a Madbean Afterlife that was given to me. I'm thinking of adding a Mooer power supply too. I'm developing an unhealthy obsession with Mooer mini-pedals.

@JimmyM @toblerone24 How are you guys using the tender? As an occasional special effect, or as a tone shaper, with just a bit of sub or upper dialed in?
I'm using it as a road octaver, mostly using it to double the bassline an octave up a la 8 string bass, but also occasionally for the low octave in place of my OC-2. I like the OC-2 much better, but the Tender is tiny and travels in a suitcase easier than a Pitch Fork and OC-2.

It is quite funny I bought it for the low octave, but have actually used the upper more. The upper for me has quite a nasal character when used clean (unless I cut a lot highs out of the input signal) so I've found I use it into drive to simulate rhythm guitar, and also it sounds really cool before a fuzz :bassist:

I think I had wrong expectations (kind of expected to use a bit of sub octave for thicker tone) but have found cool uses for it as more a special effect.:)

Ordered a Tender Octaver #II yesterday. From everything I've read on TB, I'm going to like it just fine. I'm starting a country trio, and I'm planning to kick it on with an upper octave, to fatten things up a bit during guitar leads.

Is it too early to get a number, if I haven't actually taken possession yet?

Also, does anyone know the power requirements? It doesn't come with a wall-wart and I was unable to find out what it needs, other than "standard Boss 9v". I guess that would be tip-negative? How many mA?
