That’s where I personally prefer my octave pedals, especially in front of fuzz yes. But experiment of course and find what you like of course. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks budge, legitimately great pedal, will need to see about picking up the metaverse!

Thank you!

Nice! Hopefully we didn’t leave you scarred for life 😂.

My Bro did good getting one back in the day and keeping hold of it!

The biggest of all the sky’s! Thank you!

I absolutely lived for it back then and do miss it, hopefully one day I’ll get back out there! Thanks for watching!

Sounds gorgeous! 8lb is a fantastic weight too, the flea bass is pretty heavy, not actually weighed it though. Thanks for watching!

Hi!

Haha! Thanks uncle Paul! I like to think I’ve mellowed in my old age but I’m not sure the people that work for me now would agree 😂.

Daz was making a documentary but I don’t think anything ever came of it, someone has that footage somewhere but I’ve never seen it surface.

Thank you!

Ha, this was meant to come out tomorrow, I’ve messed up there 😂

TH-cam do be like that 🤣.

​@@JasonWharton82It needs to do better then 😂

It’s a very comfortable neck, I have the music man version now and retuned the sterling not because it was bad, far from it, just because it made me want the full MM one. The necks are similar from what I remember and they both have a slightly narrower but width which is good for smaller hands. The full MM version feels a little better in the hand and is significantly lighter but both are excellent guitars.

Doom for days!

Haha nice, love that record!

I believe the pastfx model has two versions, one with the correct bbd and one with the same bbd that the warm audio uses, IIRC there’s a significant price difference between the two though. The triungulo also uses the correct bbd if I recall correctly and he’s quite an advocate for it stating over on Reddit that there are audible differences between the two. He does of course have skin in the game so I would always say, see if you can try both, trouble is that’s not always easy to do with boutique pedals.

I picked that up second hand for £200, wish I had waited a bit since that seems to be what it goes for new now 😂. Agree though, it got a lot of backlash at release but I really don’t understand why, for me it was pretty clear they were following the precedent they set with the old M range and releasing a single effect modeller. Great pedal, even if it only gets used occasionally!

@@JasonWharton82 I loved the M5, I was so stoked to see it get updated to Helix-grade models, but people were so mad that it only does one effect at a time

@KaiDown yeah, was just weird, clearly if you wanted multiple effects at once that pedal already existed in the stomp for not a significantly bigger price or footprint. People are weird!

Thank you! It’s just a matter of time I’m sure!

I’m not really embarrassed, I’m just playing it up for the vid, you are right, we were having the time of our lives, discovering who we were and what we loved, I’m pleased to still be able to call the other guitarist in the band a close friend after more than 30 years have passed and back then we were just stoked to have the gear we had! Thanks for watching and for your kind words!

It’s not really the right thing for that sound no, you’d be better getting a dedicated octave fuzz.

I’ve seen posts, it’s a damn shame I’m not gonna have some cash to spend on the site!

I did a pickup swap, that’s a p90 in a humbucker sized enclosure, video of the full process on the channel.

@JasonWharton82 oh sick, I'll check it out

Ah awesome, what do you make of it so far?

@@JasonWharton82 I really like it. Tonight I tried it on the main board as I wasn't sure how the preamp would take a line of gain pedals going into it. You DO have to mess about quite abit with the always on preamp but once its set somewhere near unity its lovely in a bigger set up too

I’m yet to try it with a neck humbucker, been single coil or p90 so far but it definitely does the thing 😂

@@JasonWharton82 Just got done watching - nice job on skirting round the JF copyright police haha. You got great tones from it - I imagine through the cab in the room it's even better. I think this warm audio pedal is a keeper for me. I do think boss are going to reissue the CE-1 some point maybe this year, was talking to Matt from Boss a while back and he was very tight lipped when I brought it up haha

Yeah I’ve heard Matt hinting at it on the guitar nerds podcast, my gut is they will make an all analogue modulation pedal in the re-202/dm-101 chassis and it will cover more than just CE-1 sounds, like the 101 I guess. Maybe £300?

Yeah I’ve seen the images they were teasing, will be interesting to see what the specs are, might have to grab one for a comparison!

Not that I know of no.

Common in pedals, a little internal switch on the board that changes a setting you maybe wouldn’t frequently change.

Thank you, I’m not really familiar with their music or the gear they use unfortunately.

Thank you! Yep that sounds about right!

Do you set the level on your pedals to unity volume? Wondering if you need to be concerned with setting too high and pushing the front of the amp since it’s digital. Sounds really good btw!

Yeah I set to unity, but because I’m using the amp as a clean platform and not trying to push it into any natural overdrive, I get all of that from the pedals. That being said I never had an issue with the front end clipping if I did boost into it.

Thanks!

That’s a big outlay for a new one but they are really great bases, might be worth keeping an eye out for a used flea signature version and pick it up for less, they don’t come up very often though.

I cover that in the vid, I think it sounds good if you stack an overdrive after the fuzz but it can sound a bit harsh just fuzz into the clean amp.

@JasonWharton82 Yeah that was basically my experience too, but you're fuzz sound here in this video (When it's not stacked with the overdrive) is still way better than the sound I get from my fuzz pedals (FuzzFace and big muff), so idk...

I was using the beetronics Vezzpa, I do tend to set my amps quite dark too so maybe that’s an aspect.

Squier is better than Fender though right?

I’m pretty happy with the result for the neck pickup, if I could do it again though I’d probably clip the pickup wires at the circuit board end and add some sort of connector block so I could keep the original parts in place and swap out the pickups at will. My opinion is that if you think it will make you play it more then it’s worthwhile doing it.

@@JasonWharton82 right on. Thanks!

Thank you!

What a different time though, before smartphones and social media ruled our lives 😂

@JasonWharton82 yep... Definitely some interesting times back then. I remember bringing my 4 track into the guitar shop for repairs, and the guy at the counter told me it wasn't worth it, that digital recording is about to take over... I'm just looking at him like, yeah, sure, whatever, just fix my shit lol!... never saw all this high tech shit talking over in only 20 something years...

Honestly I wish I’d got up to speed with recording tech more quickly, I was always more focused on playing in bands than learning the tech, thankfully now I obviously have a much better grip on it as I’m able to make these videos, just wish I’d started maybe ten years ago instead 😂

Yeah it’s stupid at this point, the guy should be expanding to meet the demand but knows too well that the hype drives the sales and if that hype goes away so do potential sales. It’s a good pedal but it’s not worth the hype.

Aye one of those guitars I think, nice to have but not something I would play often.

I’ve still got this one here, maybe my brother will eventually forget that I have it? Congrats on the new guitar day!

Nice! Now how do I claim my commission from Epiphone? 😂 Enjoy the guitar!

It’s the original strings yes but unfortunately I don’t know the gauge. Good hunting for yours!

​@@JasonWharton82 I'm quite happy with my fairly recently aquired 30" Danelctro so I'm not currently looking for a Jaguar Baritone but I have to say a 28.5" Bass VI certainly does sound quite interesting. I did do a little googling and Wikipedia and some other sources claimed the Jaguar Baritone came with the same strings as the Fender/Squier VI so that would be the 24-84 set. I have played the Squier VI with the stock 24-84 strings and the E was pretty low tension which is something many people complain about. I have to imagine that same string on a 28.5" scale instrument must be damn floppy but you get some very cool sounds with it in your video! I have a 90 for the low E on my 30" Dano and even that is somewhat loose feeling but I suppose this is one of the "charms" of these instruments.

Yeah the lower strings were a bit floppy for sure.
