Well I really screwed up when I sold my Ampeg Sub-Blaster Octave Bass pedal. I meant to replace it but it got discontinued. It was by far the BEST bass octave I had ever played. I swear to God it tracked a de-tuned low D on my Jazz bass if I kept the bridge p/u all the way up. I think this MXR may be the only thing reasonable to now replace my lost Ampeg. This is a superb demo here.
btw--flatwound strings sound really awesome with an octave pedal. Very smooth and creamier than roundwounds
Its Been A While Since I've Been So Impressed By A Bassists Playing. His Tone And Touch Are So Good.
If only these equipment allowed us to sound as good as you. One can only wish!
MXR is really putting their stuff together for bass players....thanks Duff for your videos
still have this pedal got it based on this video...thanks duffy!
Wow Uriah great video. Thanks. You really helped showing the tracking stability. Obviously you know your stuff - I have tried loads of (mainly digital) octaves only to get flipped off by wavering low notes. Its sick to see you track a low E! It must sound crazy low at your house.
Great playing and good attitude this really helps as I have never seen this pedal before. Keep up the good work!
excellent demo! Please posting more. That tone you are getting is insane.
I bought 6 months ago awesome I love it
That is the best bass sound I have ever heard!!!
Dude- Great to hear from ya! Hey- we'll be back in the UK in June- hope you can make it out!
So yeah- It's a custom USA Osborne. It has been far exceeding my expectations everytime I gig with it. Unreal. See ya soon!
that bass sounds sooo goood.. and the player is great
that's true. Actually what I ended up doing was recording a loop. I simply tuned my bass low( like almost rattle like) and played through. then played the same phrase at normal ( well I tune to b flat) and it's pretty awesome and I didn't need an octave pedal at all lol. thank you for the input :)
Awesome pedal...and great tone. Looks like a Lakland bass. Nice playing Uriah!
just got it last week, the best octave pedal i ever tried... EBS, boss and even EHX aren't close to this one... amazing man
Another video? , I say the same , great pedal , great demo and great play Uriah ;)
WOW!!! that X2 sounds Amazing!!!!
Great review !!! Great playing ...Will make sure I listen to your stuff..Thanks
You are truly an awesome player! Love the video!
YES! I've noticed this too. I don't use that pedal anymore, but when I did, I considered having a professional modify it to fix that hot output problem
your bass sounds amazing!
I’m going to have to start using mine more often
It looks to be a Lakland Joe Osborne - it's pretty close to a "standard" Jazz bass body style, while the Darryl Jones is more of a "Modern" Jazz Bass shape with extended cutaways and horns, and a downsized body like a Sadowsky 24-fret 4 & 5-strings, or Mike Lull's Modern 4XL or 5.
duffster... this is a GREAT sounding video!!!
It's three signals: Regular, and two diff types of 1 octave down- one gritty and one smooth. For octave only, see 1:45
Hi Uriah Duffy,
I live next door and my house is still rattling from your playing. Please Move!
Thanks,
Josie
5:12 "Flobbering" :-D
Way funky playing - very nice.
I put Fuzz and disto After other pedals, but you should experiment and try both ways.
Most the sound is the way you play. The rest is the set up of the bass. I keep it set up for a bit of fret buzz, which makes it easy to sound strong when you dig in hard. John Entwhistle from The Who does this finger slap type thing too.
Damn man, everytime i watch this i gey blown away:D love the setup man... sick sound! :D nice cab too:)
WOooll!! Great sound!! My next pedal surely :D !
Hey uriah! great stuff ur showing here, bro! Ive been desired a EBS octaver for a long time, but this sound is KILLER!
but man, ur handlin a Q-Tron on this video. I liked the MXR envelope too, but the Q-Tron is a classic, isnt it?
@adurgaram That's my fav cab- I've had it since 1995. It's an Eden D410T (not the D410XLT). It has one port on the back rather than the bigger rectangular ports on the front like the XLT. The speakers are Tune Tubby Super Boys. This is the best bass cab I've ever heard- for me.
Hey man, Nasty tone bro!! Great tutorial, I dig it and just got my pedal today. Quick question is that a 4/12 cab? and if so what make/model it's BADASS and I want one too...
Hey! I have this pedal, and the tracking is really great, also compared to other octavers. But if you're looking for consistancy in tone (means an octavated note that lasts longer than a second) this pedal tracks perfectly to the low G (on some basses to the F#) on the E string. lower notes aren't tracked very well, just on very short notes...
hope it helped!
Sick bass, sick setup.. Even better sound =D
@Tooltrocity This is a USA Joe Osborne Lakland with Lakland pickups and an Aguilar OBP-3 I had them put in. I LOVE my Laklands- 2 USA, and two Skylines... All Da Bomb-diggity!
Of course you're talking experimentally now... Even if it tracked do you have ears that could hear those frequencies? Gear that can reproduce those frequencies? In terms of real-world use in a gigging situation... You won't need any octaver to go that low. Best thing is to try it yourself!
@200909will I like everything at noon. For a more electronic or dubby sound though, I'll bring the dry signal down between 12 & 9oclock. I also like the mid shift button in to help cut thru.
OK, what's the other gear ???
Forget about the MXR, your sound is like heaven already.
Yeahh finally getting the MXR288 today :D:D:D:D love it!
Thanks a lot!!!
I doubt too much about this one and EBS Octabass...
My lil rack (top to bottom): Furman Power Conditioner, X2 Digital Wireless, Eden WT800
Brilliant Demo MAN
Yeah- this is a very practical Octave pedal, but bonus points for thinking outside the box.
Because when you do video editing, there's no rule that says you must use the same clips audio. I was able to show a cool live clip, and put in a recognizable hook.
I use a pedalboard on a very small percentage of gigs, and other than the cool effects on there, the tone is usually WORSENED- not enhanced. The most consistency in someone's tone, I've noticed, is in the hands & fingers.
omg excellent video. as soon as i get enough money im getting one!
Thanks for the info yorisii!
Thanks for the info, Benayrsty!
Is that an Eden Navigator WP100 preamp in his rig? What else is he running it through? Anyway, that guy has TONE! And his groove is great.
aaaaa~~ i can feel the octaves flowing through my body =D
Great video!
why don't more people use octaves?!
Good question
if you're looking for octave above try the whammy pedal or boss super (pitch) shifter
Thanks for the demo- especially the info about tracking. :-)
Tasty playing 👌🏿
howdy all- top to bottom in the rack: Furman power strip conditioner thing, X2 Digital wireless (yes- it's sounds THAT good), Eden WT-800.
Haha, very nice and funny:D!
And I think I'm gonna buy it now!
BTW, you play so groovy!
5:13 Is "flobbery" even a word?!? If not, it should be now. Damn you Uriah Duffy!! (shakes fist at sky) - between yours and Bryan Beller's videos I *had* to spring for an MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter, and I had just upgraded my chorus to a T-Rex unit, grabbed a custom "Loop-Master" loop-switcher that was on sale (they *never* are) and the guts of my main basses wired up with new preamps and pickups (Custom-wound Nordstrand Big Singles and Aguilar OBP-3s)... now you expect me to by this?!? ;-)
@edenite That's a USA joe Osborne Lakland, with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp in it. I'm running it flat.
Sounds great
I really like this and m82 pedal demos you've done. they're really great at giving a full idea of what these pedals do.
I'm starting to get into pedals an I was wondering what sort of bass pedals are a must for any board and what's especially good for funk sounds?
@punkunion2 Yeah man, there are a couple vids out there with people using it for guitar too, still sounds amazing...
WHAT A BASS!!!!!
love my little Eden 410T too.....
uriah, could you take us through what preamp your running on your lakland? or were you running this as passive for this demo?
cheers!
@Samitch04 X2 Digital Wireless. Yeah, It sounds that good.
I'm sold!
I bought the Boss OC-3 and I should have bought the MXR 288!!!
Nah- I only use the Wide Black Planet Waves straps. The Mono ones (not in this vid) are awesome, but not slippery enough for me swingin the bass around and shite. If you're not doing circus tricks with the bass, it may be for you.
1) An octave below notes lower than a low E? I bet you have a kick-ass amp!
2) I doubt it, since most analog octave pedals cannot do this. EBS claims that their latest version can, but I couldn't get it to work. The POGs can do chords, but the tone is sterile.
nice tone
Thanks my friend...gave me some funky ideas~PEACE!
nice chops!
Hah- Maybe I'll do the next one with my Brother Dorian- also a bassist. Now we just need to find a product... Hmmm...
Can anyone tell me when effects pedals for BASS guitars started? It seemes like the bass was basically ignored for years as the guitar had all the innovations
Hey Uriah love your Funk !....just curious as about what else you have there on your pedal board,..I see Dunlop bass wah and what I think is a qtron..hard to tell..
Shit! To the person that posted last... I accidentally erased your comment- sorry- I was trying to reply. You stated I probably go thru a bunch of other stuff to get my tone, but that is very incorrect. All the pedals displayed are on bypass (actually TRUE-bypass, with the exception of the wah), and the octave is engaged as that's what I'm talking about in the vid.
ooh an Eden World Tour!
Great Demo! Do you also have a demo on EHX Q-Tron? I see it sitting on your pedal board!
@bassdominos That's some live only shite right thurrrr! We do a funk jam at the end of "Stop Complaining", which sometimes includes some D-Train.
nice tracking...
Yes!
good demo
5:12 "flobbering" :) Great video!!! Thanks!
Yes it is a Lakland Osbourne.
Great pedal review, thanks. What's your preferred settings on the MXR ?
amazing tone at 2:31!!! what kind of pick up's and pre amp are in your fender?
That’s a Lakland USA Joe Osborne model. It’s like a new 62 Jazz I would guess.
Damn man, everytime i listen to this i'm astonished by your funky licks man,, but i was wondering whats the exact model lakland you use in this vid? that thing is AWESOME that pedal to though:D let me know so i know what to buy :) Peace! bbBassYo
@udawggy is that bass better than the Darryl Jones signature lakland bass? im just about to take a decision between an american standar jazz bass or a lakland :S
btw i love your custom fender jazz bass
His sound is god damn funky, which bass and pick ups are that?
man youve got groove
Can an octave pedal be set to play the octave ABOVE the note played? I'm looking to create a sound when I play my bass that sounds like a guitar is following the notes and octave above.
What's the preamp on that bass? 2 band replacement? Or did it come in there stock? Last I remember Laklands didn't have stock preamps like that I but I don't really know much about them.
@BassDude50000 No verb- just the room sound- so I guess it's natural verb
dude i would kill to be your neighbor.
😂
What are the settings on your wt-800, what brand of 4x10 cab is that, and what pedals do you have on your pedalboard?
@udawggy Hi, thanks for the info. Do you like the mid shift at 400 hz or 850 hz, sounds like 400 hz in the video.
Whats happnin Uriah
I see you use the mono straps
are they good? Would you recommend them?
cheers
2:30 - OK im just going to check if it's bypassed.
great video man
