Origin Effects BASSRIG

Well... you have things I need, so I could buy some from you and then you would have cash? On second thought, I need these as well so, no... you'll just have to give me the pedals that you have that I want so can buy these as well. Or you could just give me the pedals you have I want and also buy a pair of each of these two pedals and send me the extras. Also an option.
I'm not in the habit of giving away pedals. Maybe it's good karma? I'll consider it :p

After watching all these videos today, I've convinced myself I don't need either of these. They sound amazing, but a bit too pricey for where I'm at right now.

I'm a very happy user of a Cali76CB, it's a permanent fixture on my grab and go pedal board (along with a Noble DI). So, I'm good with the quality of Origin Effects stuff. But based on the demo's, both of these pedals seem to be very much about distortion/OD ... although I'm sure they can do clean too. I am generally a clean tone player, with a very occasional need/desire for just a bit of fattening OD, but rarely/hardly ever any full on grind/distortion. Do all of you who are so psyched about these boxes use serious OD/Distortion on a regular basis ?

Another question I have is how the Super Vintage would compare to the Tech21 VT line of pedals. I'm generally more of a Fender style tone guy, but I have a VT Deluxe for when I really need either a B15 or SVT-ish type sound. While the VT pedal is quite a bit older, it has a lot of tone shaping options as well, including a speaker sim (switchable on the VT DI and VT versions).

interesting stuff.

Yes. My clean is grind, and my grind is OD. I like a little grit to cut through, once it cuts in a band mix with OD+ guitars it actually sounds "clean".
 
LOVE the CB76.


These things sound great (ian is great), but here's my question: I already have a wd800, so what would be the application of this? Do you just stomp it for an extra sound, or do you leave it on all the time? It seems redundant to run this preamp into the mesa preamp. Yeah I get it small and light and you could use it as a direct box, but those Mesa amps are small and light too. Mostly I'm just looking for an excuse to buy it!

1) Ian is the man. His Instagram videos are always so enthusiastic and educational.
2) Do you ever wish your Mesa would sound more like an Ampeg or Fender amp? If so, then that's the idea here.

The announcement email this morning mentioned that the CB76 will soon be available in two new color schemes that match the BassRigs. Our more affluent members here can get both the BassRigs with the matching Compact Basses, just for fun! :woot:

NGL, if I could afford to, I'd buy both of these BassRigs, the Cali76 Compact Deluxe and Compact Bass, the RevivalDrive Compact, the Magma57, and the Deluxe61. Origin Effects really has got some incredible products.
