The octava sounds a little like Geezer Butler's bass. Fucking filthy and i love it!!!
FAT SWOLLEN PICKLE?? 🤣🤣🤣
That fuzz circuit deffo has a Boss FZ-2 vibe about it 👌
I've had one of these years and I really dig it. The OD section actually works great by itself as a clean boost in to a distorted amp for maximum modern br00talz
I love it! My brother Collin has a limited run custom paint Disnortion I had the privilege of using a few years back. So sick. I was using single coils with it and it rips amazingly with them as well! It may be a pretty big pedal, but damn it packs the crunch and vibes inside
Yeah for what it does it justifies it's size
I use my Disnortion in the loop of a Boss MS-3 split into a pair or Princeton Reverbs. Most of the time though, it's going into a Marshall DSL20 with a 2x12 cab. That's a doomy little rig.
i used to have one of those! the overdrive is the weakest bit of it, imo. if they replaced that circuit with a straight ahead tube screamer, it would be so much better. the fuzz and octaver are delightfully bonkers, though and totally worth the price of admission! if you haven't tried one yet, see if you can get hold of a foxrox zim, with the ts on one side and the muff on the other. gorgeous pedal.
Agree, the OD is fine but the octave and fuzz are wild. The foxroxx stuff lets you switch circuit modules right?
@@LeonTodd yes, that's the one. very classy sounding pedal.
On my board for years! Awesome piece of gear!
One of my favorite oct up fuzz pedals a lot years ago was the Studio Electronics Wolftone Chaos (now is from Malekko), then was the Crowther Prunes & Custard, now i got a Multiwave
Sounds killer and definitely a texture tone. To me the overdrive sounds like Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes Nano, but less tight and a little more scooped.
Used to have one. The Octava was awesome!
I was waiting to hear some Edgar Winter Group from the moment you started with the octava
awesome guitar too - green PRS is stunning
It really is!
Pretty sure Mr. Fripp used one of these in King Crimson, for a while.
I use this with a PDF-1X for my stoner doom days. Great fun!
"I'll take, a pedal I'll never use for $100 Alex."
😂
it sounds nasty and growly, i love it.
Good stoner potential.
@LeonTodd ABSOLUTE FILTH!!!! I think I'm going to need a shower after listening to this. I'll take one.
Talk about a "funky" pedal. The octaver + fuzz sounds like it has an artificial intelligence of it's own! 🎸
Wanted to like it as there is one for sale locally but didnt really find what I like there. Ill listen again and see if it grows on me.
Hey LT. Thats some groovy sick tones your getting out of that device. You think Dug Pinnick would use one of these? Just purchased the complete Ragdoll collection off of bandcamp. Thanks again for the music! Cant get enough Ragdoll.
That's funny because my friend who owns this pedal specifically said he loves it on bass for the Pinnick thing!
Thanks so much for picking up the tunes too, I hope you enjoy them.
Omg yessss, that's exactly what I was searching for! I picked up a used one for a good price yesterday and can't wait to test it today. I recently purchased it because it's according to the guitarist Erik from Slomosa in combination with and ocd drive and a Vox Ac30 their incredible awesome sound! But besides that I really really love the fuzz and octave combination for some really heavy doomy riffs. Sounds like ur playing bass to your riffs at the same time! And it can also handle the sound of The Sword in combination with an Orange Cr120 nearly perfect 🎉 That's one of the best pedals for stoner and doom ever! Can't wait!
Shape 3 fuzz plus the Octava gets kinda those FZ-2 electric wizard vibes... All useful shit imo. I want one.
Also if you like a driven-ass fuzz, some time when you get bored drop a Precision Drive model or a Fortin Grind or some shit in front of an OR120 or Matamp model dimed out. Utter filth.
Where can I find a clio of that? Sounds like what I've been looking for for years
@@albertkotze8974 wish i had the real damn thing to fuck with but you can do it in Helix/Helix Native w/ the OR80 and Precision Drive models, was what I was thinking of when I posted this.
@@shealeffler6147 I run my Laney GH100TI with a SD-1 running on 13.5v (makes the boost much more aggresive) with the level all the way up, tone at about 2o'clock and gain just high enough to hear an audible level boost. The Laney is kinda Matampish, very thick, loose bottom end and MASSIVE EL34 power output and distortion, but with a lot of preamp gain aswell. Voicing is somewhere between a hotrodded JCM800 and a Orange Rockerverb (to my ears). The idea of a Matamp with a Grind in front is kinda similar, and really excites me. I think it would sound amazing, would probably be great for slow, filthy old school death metal, hardcore, doom and sludge. Would probably be great for any heavy music haha.
@@albertkotze8974 absolutely. Fucking yep. The Rockerverb/JCM sound is totally different from every OR120 model and demo I've ever heard, tbh - my 2013 OR100 twin-channel gets closest to that sound but some time soon I'd like to put in an order for a GT120... Boosting an OR/Matamp style thing (including my Kuro T120 matamp preamp-in-a-pedal, which is utterly fucking fantastic) gets this amazing low-mid fuzzy growl which is still very clear. If you have access to a Helix or Helix Native, I highly suggest you try the Horizon Drive block w/ the Mandarin 80 amp. It'd give you a good idea of what it does :D Maybe some time I'll try dumping the AxeFX's precision drive model into the T120 and seeing what boosting the shit out of it would do.
There was nothing wrong with the overdrive into the crunchy amp. Smooth!
I did enjoy the rest of the tones
The OD must feel like the kid who wears their school uniform on a free dress day :p
(I was always that kid)
Leon - love to hear what you could do with an OhnoHo Utter Stutter pedal.
Only for the OD is worth it. I had it, loved it and sold it. It it it and it
Talk dirty to Me!!! I don't know why, but hearing some of those sounds reminded me of Les Claypool!
!
Many thanks, really great job ... and now I need it .... great .... ^^
Well done LT! Kinda old school!
High school couple blows bubblegum and says, " We gave it a 3, We could dance to it!" Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!
I love pigtronix pedals...they used to be considered overpriced but the used market has not been good for them...this is very much a poor mans life pedal. Also I love the aria,philosophers gold, the polysaturter and the war pig....but I hated the design of 5 knobs and a switch on a tiny pedal and the in/out jacks all on the right side...it never made any sense.
Holy shit I like it!
wow 2nd time in a row "firsting" your video :D
Hey. Do you still have your molecular? I didn't see it in a long time in your videos :D
Yes but it's at my friend's studio being used on a bunch of different projects
Sounds absolutely disgusting 🤘🤘
Sometimes reminds sounds from coinup video games..
Snort! It does sound better then my broken Grunge pedal - it's broken.
Not garbage. But then again...most gear isn't garbage :)
Meh. I don't think I would ever use it.
I have one super disappointed
Great build tho
I wouldn’t say useless but disgusting instead
eww lol no
