I do not even like octave/fuzz pedals. The only one I use is on my line 6 DM4😊. However, you made this pedal sound tantalising. I may have to write different music that requires (or ckould use) an octave on the fuzz… “try one, buy one.” 🎸👨🏼⚕️🫶✌️♾️Cheers/ Slainte
Yep, that's Octave up fuzz in a nutshell. Not as clean or refined as a digital octave up but that's kind of the charm, it will always cut through! Thanks!
Does the fuzz section use the same or similar circuit to the Wampler Velvet Fuzz? I was all set to buy that one until I saw this had EQ and a bonus Octaver feature.
I love the picking style where Andy goes from using his fingers to seemingly using a pick (yet there is no pick to be found tucked away anywhere). Does anyone know what he is doing here? I assume he's just holding his fingers with no pick, yet it looks and sounds like there is a pick. How the...??? Sheesh!!
Hey Andy I saw your top 5 & I just ordered the tensor pedal. It’ll be my first looper pedal & was curious if you recommend it before or after my reverb pedal?
I'm not Andy but I own a tensor. I'd tell you it depends on how you use it. First off, if you bought it for the job of "looper" pedal you will be sorely disappointed. It only records about 4 seconds of audio into its buffer which is only enough for looping pretty short riffs. But if that's how you're using it (you should've just bought a Ditto) than put it AFTER your reverb at the very end of your chain. Ideally, the looping function in the tensor, imo, is better suited and recording samples and snippets which you then stretch and mangle into ethereal pads that you play over. In that case, put the reverb after. It's also really good AFTER a *dedicated* looper where you can feed loops into it and mess with the pitch, tape speed, etc. It also works up near the top of your chain (where you'd put a whammy pedal/pitch shifter) so you can use it as a "whammy"/octave pedal, make pads and samples and then feed that into your reverb and modulation. Hope that helps.
The "Tight" setting is never gonna work in a live situation, sucks so much mid presence out it's gonna be one with the wallpaper once it leaves the stage.
