- VIDEO DESCRIPTION & SIGNAL CHAIN INFORMATION:
Dunlop's MXR design team is proud to present these two members of the award-winning Bass Innovations line, a family of products designed and engineered specifically for bass players.
The BASS OCTAVE DELUXE actually features two separate sub octave circuits in one pedal that can be mixed together or used individually for a variety of sonic options.
The "Girth" circuit can be described as a low octave that is voiced with a smooth and deep character whereas the "Growl" circuit creates a voice that contains a greater variety of harmonic overtones, resulting in a low octave that has a more throaty, "snarl" or "grit" to its sound.
The "Dry" control knob allows the user to dial in the amount of unaffected incoming signal from the instrument, with fully counter-clockwise resulting in only the octave effect being heard to fully clockwise which provides all of the dry signal to be heard along with the sub octave.
The midrange button ("MID+") when engaged provides for up to +14db of internally adjustable mid frequencies to your incoming "dry" signal. Users can select either 400hz (factory setting) or 850hz to be boosted, the modification being easily performed by way of a switch found inside the pedal.
Also not visible on the face of the pedal but equally important to note is the proprietary Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) that is in the design of MXR Bass Innovations pedals. The CHT provides for high headroom and superior tracking which effectively addresses two previous weak spots that have plagued older analog octave pedals in the past.
Paired here with the MXR Bass Envelope Filter (whose in-depth demo can be seen at: • MXR Bass Envelope Filter ), this video provides a glimpse of how these two pedals give bass players of all genres the extreme versatility they need from effect stomp boxes but with the warm, organic, 100% analog tone and the no-nonsense durable housing that is at the heart of every MXR product.

That’s the legendary Tim Lefebvre laying down the classic funk grease and a pioneering musician in EDM among many other genres. Tim is one of the LeFaves bass players of all time!
Anythign but legendary. Looks like he isn't that technical of a player.
to all those bass YT experts commenting on mr Tim Lefebvre's so called lack of tightness or ham hands:
THIS IS HOW FUNK BASS IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND, THIS GUY IS A BOSS, Y'ALL HAVE NO CLUE, SHUT UP AND LEARN
or just go back to your millions views Get Lucky slap+tapping bass covers, you're not even close to realize how lucky you are to be able to watch this for free...smh
amen my friend. all of bass-dom has something for everyone. it's not healthy, to one's musical aptitude, to shut anything or anyone out. everyone has validity in their playing style. if diversity wasn't important, everyone would play the same. and that would be boring as shit.
tim lefebvre's cv speaks for itself. not only that, but he's respected greatly by his peers. his playing is groovy, inspired, and creative. if anyone doubts that, well then maybe they need to check their own sense of groove and re-evaluate.
Although it's 11yrs later I'm getting this!!!!
Sameee
I don't even play the bass, but these videos are getting better every time!
really great videos.. it's really interesting.. i'm always like waiting to the hard case to be open to see the pedals and the guitar, and when they plug in.. i'm a guitar player, but i love this videos :D
Finally a Dunlop product video where I could actually play the same thing the tester is!
That's pretty sick right there.
Yup these to fine stomp boxes together are made for each other.
I am loving these demo's. I have seen other company's doing this "white background" thing but near as I can tell MXR did it first. I love this format!!! I also have this pedal and it sounds so gooooood on guitar.
*demos *companies
Aguilar too
@@PaleHorseShabuShabu i quite like it too!
amazing !
I got a tuner and then a boss ODB3. Those were the only pedals I had for a while, now I've got 7.
love it!!
"Great Demo.. Thx !
killer sound. just makes me wanna go leave my guitar and grab a pair of those and my bass X3
your hands are the best effect. I didn't get pedals until about 2 and a half years after I started playing.
I know the description lists that he's using flats...but those are definitely rounds. If anything, you can tell by the shot of the headstock and the lengthwise shot of the neck at the beginning of the vid. But more importantly, the sound (in particular the fret buzz) is definitely that of roundwound strings. I'm not calling Dunlop liars or anything, but I think they might have glossed over that detail (perhaps because he wasn't actually using Dunlop strings???????).
I'm 2 yrs in to it. I was thinking of a zoom multi pedal?
@hunterplnz Finally! A fellow comrade!
Wicked!
Does anyone know which pedal is first? The octave into the envelope filter or vice versa?
Is this the guy who did the bass for the Toejam & Earl soundtrack?
Necesito mas videos , por favor .
What pedals did you get?
In fact, just for giggles I went over to the Dunlop website. They don't even advertise a flatwound set.....only round...
This guy takes pedal pumping to a whole new level. I found 2:31 - 2:46 and 3:24 - 3:29 very arousing.
What would be a good bass effect for someone who is just starting out??????
A tuner
Jimi hendrix pedals next please
Got that.
They are definitely Dunlop flatwounds. They have not hit the market yet.
The Octave Deluxe sounds equally good on guitar
i like flats on guitar, but on bass there's no ticky-tack to it with flats. depends on context and the rest of your rig. i've gotten good bass tone with flats before, you just need hot pickups and a maple neck and bright rig... and hit really hard.
Has he made a UA-cam video with his zip open?
hahahaha 4 years later I saw the same thing
@@lks9770 hahahaha 7 years later I saw the same thing.
@LORDAKIRA2019 they definitely are not for everyone.
what year is that precision?
It's a Fender 1962 or a vintage 62 reissue
I love my G1X Zoom. I got it used at pawn shop for $40
He was definitely playing flats. 0:12-0:13.
A tuner.
Then you're set until you've got some more experience under your belt. Adding a slew of pedals won't make you better; rather they'll make your flaws more blatant. The most important thing you can give yourself is practice.
they're button fly jeans...what can i tell ya
Everything's great bro , just zip your pants ...
Maybe he’s proud
Dunlop doesn't manufacture a set of half-rounds either. Tim does endorse D'Addario, and they DO produce a set of half-rounds. However, I follow Tim's playing and gear choices pretty closely (he's one of my FAVES...hehe), and I've never heard of him using half-rounds. Frankly, those strings are almost universally poo-pooed by bass players for being a combination of the WORST that rounds and flats have to offer. I'd be extremely surprised if he used them.
An instrument with some sense of tonal diversity & versatility? & he was playing thru an Aguilar valve pre/solid-state power hybrid amp.........am I missing something? What the hell is the benefit of transistors over valves? Why not a valve amp, & a good 1, like a Peavey VB-3, Marshall VBA400, Laney NexusTUBE, Mesa/Boogie Bass 400+/Buster Bass 200, Sunn 300T, Fender Bassman 300 PRO/Bassman 100T/Super Bassman? I'd even b happy with an Ampeg B-15, SVT-VR, or SVT-2PRO!
Dude, just shut up and play bass :D
2nd! :O
First! :O
Mmm
3rd!
@TheBassGojira I fuckin' hate flats & halves.
do not buy a zoom multi. I have two and regret them. they break EASY (not well made) not true bypass, so they have to be on for you to get any sound from your guitar/bass whatever. I don't like them at all.
Loved the pedals, but I have some cons with the clip: A): his fly was down. B): he was playing a Fender Presicion. C): he strung it with flats. Flats. FLATS! GODDAMN FUCKIN' FLATS! D): he was playing thru a hybrid amp. 4 the love of fuckin' God, how 'bout a Ricky or a T-Bird or a Warwick? Why not string it with rounds, wonderful rounds? & son of a bitch, use an all-valve amp, like a Fender Super Bassman or Bassman 300 PRO or a Marshall VBA400 or Orange AD200B-MK3 or Peavey VB-3. Or an Ampeg.
wow, this guy is all over the place! not tight at all, man:)
+adicelviteaz No drum, no clic, he's just demonstrating two pedals give him a break
Tim is a world class player and in demand guy. He's way way way better than you.
Please find someone that doesn't play a Fender
Those definitely weren't rounds. I think they were half-rounds, because they combine the dead, uninspiring, toneless thump of flats, with the fret buzz & finger noise of rounds. Whoever came up with the concept of half-rounds must've worked pretty damn hard 2 b that fuckin' stupid. Also, he was playing a run-o'-the-mill Precision. Why not an American Deluxe Pricision, American Deluxe/Modern Player Jazz, Music Man Stingray HH, Thunderbird, 4001, 4003, 4004, Spector, Alembic, Wal, Warwick?
The bass being played doesn't matter. Also Half-Rounds are quite pleasant have a nice playing feel.
Jezuz, somebody set up that bass or teach him how to play without the ham hands.
Clay Morrissey what do you mean?
Ridiculous fret buzz from the odd playing technique.
Clay Morrissey His clients don't seem to mind...
Clay Morrissey well he is on a P bass so thats gonna be a natural punchy sound
+Clay Morrissey you make yourself sound like a nub.
