News on Chunk Systems Bass Synth

Hey guys

I just played the octavius squeezer - all i can say is wow.
We only had a limited time to hear it but richard showed us a taste of how deep the rabbit hole goes. When you all get your pedal i suggest you all check out the "grand pimp daddy " patch - Wild.

We tested it with MIJ75 RI Jazz, a musicman Bongo 6 and an alembic Rogue 5.

The rig was an Epifani UL902 and an Acme B4.

The tracking on the low b string was tight all the way to C and on the top there was no problems going all the way up on the high c of the Bongo.

There was this cool function called 'Randomize' which puts random values on each of the given effects 47 parameters. some great sounds came out of that.

Like i said - each effect has 47 editable parameters but you can disable the ones that may not be useful for particular effect.

The presets are incredible - totally useable out of the box - the kind where you cant help but smiling.

I took some pics so i'll post them as soon as i get a chance

Thanks guys

hey Guys

Some updated news -

Due to Existing Distributor relationships we are no longer able to supply pedals to customers in the US or Europe - you guys need to go through Godlyke.

Obviously any deposits we have already taken will be honoured regardless of where they are from - the guys at Chunk asked me to stop selling into that territory so sorry guys:crying:

Anywhere else in the world is all good -

So the good news - Richard has told me today that we should expect the first batch of pedals probably in the first week in october so as soon I get them we will send them out - exciting stuff!!!

We have just re opened the second round of pre sales through our website - same price of $549AUD and the pedal will be signed but unfortunately for the second round there wont be any T shirt - There was only so far i could stretch the friendship with chunk:D

These pedals will be received at the store in roughly the third week in October so its not that much longer to wait - As always guys let me know if any one has any questions

Thanks

JB
 
Oh my god. I rarely venture into this forum and didn't know about this thing until right now, and now I'm in trouble. :(

Is this one of those things where if I don't get my name on the list off the bat or get it early I won't ever get one?

I wouldn't say ever, but it could be a while (maybe Christmas/New Years) as it seems Richard and Chunk are legitimately surprised by the early demand for it. You may be able to get in on the first run still, I'm not sure.

Joel's comments just reinforced the sentiment below:

GIVE ME MY SQUEEZER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!
