Off Topic New signature edition

[Aussie Mark]

This prototype arrived during the week from my pedal sponsor for me to test drive -

Pretty cool, if somewhat embarassing

Giggled a bit but that is cool. How's it sound?

I've got the family here this weekend for early Christmas celebrations (we're spending Christmas interstate with my outlaws), so haven't had a chance to plug it in yet, hopefully tomorrow.

You can read my review of the "Grunt" circuit that's in this pedal here ....

and the "Octa-Bass" pedal here ....

I'm not sure that the Octa-Bass is for me, so the production version of this pedal might just be a Grunt with a drive and master control.

Yes, do tell. I am currently using an EBS Octaver pedal, but one with a gritty drive sounds interesting.

OK, I've had a play with this one now. As my review of the standalone Octa-Bass points out, the octave section is octave-up only, and it removes the original signal - this is something I can't use in my bands.

I do love the Grunt, and have gigged with it twice now, as a replacement for a VT Bass. This "aussie mark" version has a variable "grunt" control as well as drive and master contorls, whereas the standard Grunt only has a 2 position switch with two preset "grunt" settings. So, this one is a winner, having the ability to control all the parameters. As I alluded in a post above, I think a 3 knob Grunt will be my "signature" pedal for a production model. since the octave-up is something I don't have any use for.

OMG I can't stop laughing. Variable "grunt" control?

That sounds quite inteserting. And I agree, there's hardly any use for one octave up...
