Richard Greenup — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 22:37:37 +0000

THE analog octave divider.

MKIII is here. All the features of the MKII version packed into a smaller footprint. Cut the dry signal on the fly with the SUB footswitch and cross the astral plane into the THICC dimension. The circuit has been reconfigured as volume/volume and it sounds better than ever. The enclosure features an eye-catching new ULTRABLACK finish.

Controls: clean vol / octave vol / octave tone / TIM MODE / sub vol trimpot

You all know what it sounds like, but check out the clip below of Tim Lefebvre working his magic with an older Octabvre.

Aguilar Octamizer

Richard Greenup — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 00:21:54 +0000

ANALOG OCTAVE

Every bass player wants deep, organic tone. The Octamizer^® creates a wide range of musical sounds an octave below your original note. The Octamizer^® features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds, so dialing in the exact amount of each is a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities. The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone. The Octamizer’s OCTAVE FILTER control is a multi-pole low-pass Filter that lets you shape the octave sound from smooth and deep to edgy and aggressive.

Aguilar Agro bass overdrive

AGRO®

BASS OVERDRIVE

The AGRO^® is based on the saturation channel of Aguilar’s celebrated AG 500 bass head. Capable of producing everything from warm, tube-like overdrive to full-on distortion, this pedal will give you the grind you need without sucking out your low end. The AGRO^® offers a wealth of overdriven sounds within an easy to use, 4-knob layout. The SATURATION control offers a tremendous range of distortion while the CONTOUR control allows you to dial in a scooped or a more aggressive, boosted midrange sound. The PRESENCE knob adds the right amount of ‘attack’ ensuring that your bass remains defined even with the most saturated settings. The output LEVEL control guarantees that you’ll be able to get the distortion you want at any volume level.

Separate Saturation and output level controls
Contour control: broad spectrum mid scoop centered around 900Hz
Presence control: + 6dB/-20dB >4kHz
Gig-saver bypass (signal passes even if your battery dies)
Power: Nine-volt battery or optional universal power supply

3 leaf audio Octabvre mini

Richard Greenup — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 03:23:21 +0000

The Octabvre Mini is a modified and miniaturised version of the Octabvre that was designed for bass player and effects guru Tim Lefebvre. It starts with the popular Tim-tuning mod from the original and takes it further with a reworked tone knob that runs the gamut from classic OC-2-inspired thump to all-out sub fuzz.

The new tone knob blends together two independent tone circuits. With the tone knob fully counterclockwise, the Octabvre Mini is a functional equivalent of the classic Boss OC-2 Octaver. As the tone knob is turned up, a fuzzy square wave version of the octave down circuit is introduced.

3 leaf Audio Chromatron

The Chromatron is temporarily out of production stay tuned

The Chromatron is the result of 10 years tweaking, refining and re imagining the state variable filter circuit. It is an optically-controlled analogue filter that can switch between envelope control and manual control via expression pedal with the push of a button. The envelope detector is an original design, producing a musical filter response that spans a broad range of tones from vintage quack to future-synth psychedelica.

Vulcan Bass Overdrive

Richard Greenup — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 02:46:59 +0000

The Vulcan is a bass overdrive that packs two discrete drive circuits into one package. The innovative colour control provides a variable balance between a mid-forward, vintage-inspired overdrive and a higher-gain modern sound. The signal path is split after the first gain stage and sent to each overdrive circuit where the sound is clipped and sculpted individually and recombined at the output. The result is a versatile overdrive that adapts to any style. A broad range of tones can be accessed by using the tone knob on your bass in conjunction with the controls on the Vulcan.

The Vulcan is housed in a compact cast enclosure and finished with a brushed anodised aluminium face plate. It uses a proprietary silent active bypass system for seamless switching through a clickless stomp switch. It is designed to sound great at 9v DC, but can also be powered with 18v for a cleaner sound with extra headroom.

3 leaf Audio Doom 2

Richard Greenup — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 02:30:35 +0000

DOOM 2

DOOM 2 is an original fuzz circuit that turns your input signal into something resembling the sawtooth wave of a vintage synthesizer. Unlike most fuzz-style circuits, DOOM 2 responds to your playing technique and retains note dynamics.

New for version 2 is the you’re / your switch. You’re is the classic DOOM sound - strong upper harmonics, a mid-focused sound, and octavia / ring modulator effects as you play up the neck. Your is a new mode that has a stronger fundamental, more low end and fewer harmonics. This mode sounds more like a traditional fuzz.

Also new is the bass control. This is actually a clean volume control or a bass control depending on the position of the bass / clean switch. In clean mode, the bass control passes your full range clean signal through to the output. In bass mode, an active crossover passes only your clean low frequencies to mix with the fuzz circuit. The result is a fat, cohesive sound.

To top things off, the shape switch from the original has been replaced with a variable mid control. Now you can fine tune your presence and sit anywhere in the mix.

DOOM 2 has a full range output that works on any instrument, but the standard version is optimised for low frequency instruments like bass guitar and synthesizer. A circuit tuning optimised for the frequency response of guitar speakers will be available soon.
