I love these as much as the next nerd but I would not bet myself cash that I couldn’t find a plugin that modeled the DIP switches on some hardware

You will have a hard time justifying pedals versus plugins costs and efficiency if you are a studio engineer.
For gigs using a computer as your pedalboard is a bit risky lol. I can imagine the synth and sound engineer using one.

Haha yeah. I got some experience with Traktor and Ableton Live. Before bass my hobby was producing electronic music. Tried DJ too!
Great, now you made me thinking about it again…

You can also play with something like 20 different types of delay in my Helix in real time. No post production required. I can either turn knobs on the Stomp or I prefer to drag sliders with my mouse. I get that it’s not a real pedal but the emulation if the Roland Space echo is a lot of fun for late night noodling.
I like playing with the wow / flutter so that it really breaks up and warbles as it delays.
Or you can buy a real one! Super cool but I don’t have $2000 spare for an echo machine.

The other one I am really wanting is this…
Between this and the Generation Loss, and a bit of acid, things could get really interesting.

Boss just released two echo pedals if you really fancy one. I’m eyeballing the re-202

Yeah, the whole point of me spending $800 to get the HX Stomp was so I could try lots of pedals without buying any more 
It does look awesome though!

That demo is awesome. I really appreciated that they went into the delay & reverb question (I wondered the same). Awesome unit really!

Thanks to the chorus thread, this one arrived …
It’s just as good as I had hoped from the demo video. Very accurate. This is a very natural and full sounding chorus. The knobs don’t go very far into synthy at all. It does have a built-in high pass filter feeding the effect section with no control or defeat. I think they chose the fixed point of that very well.
Researching this revealed that Boss made a whole brown series of pedals in the same era.
The PQ-3B from that series is on its way now
I recently saw a device with a parametric EQ knob that was wide on the boost and narrow on the cut and thought that was pretty clever. Now I can’t remember where it was, maybe it was that EBS 2x10 combo that I think is a pretty cool design.

that’s an interesting filter ! also the bandwidth seems to get more narrow when you cut more midrange, so it would act more like a normal mid control on moderate settings, and more like a hard notch when you want a strong cut. that’s clever.

Recently picked up the MXR M82 bass envelope filter. I will be picking up an octave pedal to go along with it. I am inclined to either go with the MXR or the octamizer from Aguilar. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I have the M82 and a Boss OC5 on my board. Not sure they really work well together though - well, not that I’ve discovered but I’d welcome other experiences. I tend to use one or the other. The OC5 is very versatile on it’s own.

I have both and agree they are great alone.

I’ve looked at the OC-5 and it’s definitely a nice pedal. The MXR deluxe just pairs so well with the M82. That’s probably what I will end up with.

to me, octave pedals fall into 2 categories and they are sooo different i dont really consider them to be in the same group. there is the boss type, dubsteppy glitchy subsonic type. and there is the pog type, chorusy synthy type. i personally love the pog types.

Both pedals have their fan base. This one comes down to personal taste. That MXR Poly Blue Octave has a lot of versatility. Whereas the Octamizer is only doing a down octave. The higher octave effects, like on the Poly Blue or the Boss OC-5, are a lot of fun when playing alone and you want to fill out more of the sonic space.
