Octave/Fuzz Decision

[Nighttrain1127]

I am trying to decide what direction to go the Malekko B:Assmaster or the Black Cat Octave Fuzz. Both are supposedly based on the Same thing so any opinions on what one is better or other recommendations . Or the Pros and Cons of these two.

Thanks

Choose based on price, Jack placement and artwork. Otherwise they would be very similar.

Thanks for the info

it versatility. dry/wet.

 

[Nighttrain1127]

Thanks I will look into that

Yup, the Oxide is a great choice too - for probably less cash you get a smaller pedal that has more sounds and does a decent job of the Brassmaster sounds. Great company too. If you want the original sound, maybe the Black Cat would be best? The B:assmaster is great, but I believe has a few tweaks away from the original. In the end this circuit doesn't really matter if it's exact, they all sound really similar. More value for money go with the Oxide.

All good information . Now I just have to find somewhere to buy an Oxide from

I've heard the oxide has a massive volume spike when you kick it on. Thats what put me off it. Does yours do that Driven Crane?

I bought a silicon B:Assmaster a few months ago and I'm still on the fence about it. There are some really cool sounds in there, but it seems much quieter than my other fuzz pedals. I find it sounds better with something else after it to give it a boost.

I tried using it live at a show but shut it off after one song because of the volume dip. I haven't given up on it yet, but I'm currently not using it.

IF you are looking for a fuzz and an octave what about the Red Witch Zeus Octave/fuzz? From everything I've read it's an awesome pedal.

I will look into the red witch

That one is an octave-down plus a fuzz in a dual-purpose box, it isn't an "octave fuzz" like the black cat and the b:assmaster are, which adds a chimey upper octave to the fuzz sound.

Must be something up with it then, it should rip yer face off with volume.

big +1 for the Iron Ether Oxide
One pedal that I will NEVER be without!
I had a silicon b:assmaster AND a Woolly Mammoth, and the Oxide does both to the point of me not missing either of said pedals...
Taylor is also a top geezer to deal wit

The question is where to get one
