NPD Southampton Ictineo

The Ictineo is a direct clone of the Zeibek Submarine designer so you could search for demos of that for an accurate sound

The samples of the Sub Designer are out there but they don't really capture its essence.
This pedal is more of a feeling in your heart than anything...It's like....Love....

Thanks Guys. I'll look for videos on the Sub Designer. :)

Surprised nobody has yet to suggest you get both. ;)

Hah! I can't afford to get both! Had to sell my VT Bass DI just for this.
 
there are some relay bypass pedals with a momentary click that stay in the state that you left it in when powered down. at least that's how mine are, but others unlatch the relay.

I don't know if you've changed your relay bypass in the last year or so John, but every one of your pedals that I have relay bypass on click much much worse than my other pedals. I have to click them on and off at least 20 times upon power up to get them not to click. And then if I leave them for a while during a gig, they will start clicking again.

Is there anything I can do about it? It's kinda annoying especially since the relay bypass was not an insignificant surcharge.
 
Thanks for the responses. I might need an extra DI out. Does anyone have sound samples of the Ictineo? I can't find one one on the net. Also the Subway DI has few reviews, can't seem to find a lot of audio samples too. Southampton also ships worldwide right? I'm from Asia btw.
I assume you already saw these sound samples? I have to admit they don't really do the Ictineo justice, using it live reminds me of playing through a high end compressor (without the compression if that makes sense) it's just a great tone sweetening tool.

Yes. This is the one I saw. This is the only ictineo video on youtube.
