News on Chunk Systems Bass Synth

[monkeyfinger]

A multi-range digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your instrument's range and drives an analog synthesizer which can produce various waveforms at either the same pitch as your input, one octave down,

I read that as digital sampling of the input signal that is used to control the analog synth.

I see what you mean. Could this mean the octaver has POG-like capabilities?

 

[Jazz Ad]

It could. I don't know if they chose to go this way though.

When do they go on sale???

 

[Jazz Ad]

Available starting mid-2008

In builder language, it most likely means early '09, with a 6-month backorder.

Although I fear that you're right....I really hope it doesn't take till '09 to get one. :scowl:

It kinda sucks that this stuff takes forever but at least I have time to start saving some loot. If I recall correctly chunk mentioned trying to release this pedal in '07 at one point. I know it was first mentioned on this board last summer and I've been waiting for it since then! Three more months won't kill me.

 

[Max Roberts]

Wow!

I can't wait for this.

 

[monkeyfinger]

I guess this was Richard's idea of the perfect pedal!!

Hi Bryan,

Excellent - I'm glad people seem as excited about the Octavius Squeezer as
we are. We basically designed it because I wanted one. Will post more info
on the website as it comes to hand.

I'm in the process of mailing Chunk Systems all the cash I had laying around, a treasure map that I found in my basement, my recipe for bleu cheese dressing and a contract for my first born child.

Hopefully they'll mail me one of the first production models.

I see what you mean. Could this mean the octaver has POG-like capabilities?

If it's able to track like a POG - i.e. track chords... holy mackerel... the idea makes me get a little short of breath...

 

[Unrepresented]

I'm sold. hope it lives up to the hype.

 

[redliner47]

Damn. Part of me can't wait for it. The other part of me is actually my wallet cringing in anticipation.

That's what I love about you, Jazz Ad - you're such a little ray of sunshine.

 

[Chris Ramlar]

Something as good as this can just mean 2 things... there IS a God or a New Era of Cosmical and Superb pedals is coming

 

[kirkm24]

Subscribed.

 

[coolrunner989]

seems like to much to be in one pedal. I dunno...I'd have to play with it myself before I threw down the considerable amount of change this is going to charge.

I'll stay tuned

 

[monkeyfinger]

Looks like everyone is expecting this to be really expensive. What would you consider a reasonable price?
