I'm a some time pedal tester for a small boutique Australian effects pedal manufacturer (if one guy in a garage with a soldering iron counts as "manufacturing", that is), and today I got a nice surprise in the mail.
This is a custom pedal made by Cave Passive Pedals for me - it's the first Cave pedal with a mechanical indicator to show when the footswitch is on or off (these pedals don't have any LEDs, because they are passive pedals so don't need batteries or external power).
Controls from left to right are Grunt, Drive channel A, Drive channel B and Level. The two footswitches are On/Off and Channel A/B. Each of the footswitches has a hole above it with a white painted mechanical disk that moves across the hole when the footswitch is engaged. You can see the "on" indicator above the left footswitch.
This is basically a two channel version of their new Grunt MKII bass overdrive pedal, with the "Grunt" control adding "character". I'll know more when I plug it in and give it a whirl over the weekend. This type of pedal should be able to take the place of a Sansamp Programmable Bass DI pedal (without the DI of course).
I made some demo videos for some of the new Cave pedals a couple of weeks ago, and they are uploaded at Cave's YouTube channel - YouTube - cavepassivepedals's Channel
Some of the demo videos feature my Big Al 4 SSS, so that keeps this thread on topic
