Cool demo on the bass - sounds VERY synthy there.

Graphic is cool, I like that , but then I like Hendrix... Interesting sounds on the Bass Jimi, as you say near the end the octave switch makes it sound bad ass, it certainly gives it some  lift.

Nice one ;)

+1 on the Sabbath riff!!!! And on a nice sounding pedal, of course! I must admit (as a guitar player) that I liked it better on bass.... Imagine that octave sound through an SVT tube rig....  ;D Damn Jimi, I so hate the fact there is an ocean between us, I think we should drink some beers together!!

Nice Jimi, Jimi. I love that you put in bass sound clips - always a surprise, as I'm used to hearing these effects on guitar, not bass. Anyway, sweet sound and a great look.

You are one talented and prolific builder. Keep 'em coming.

Thank you. I'm just a hack on guitar, bass is where my money is. And I agree, not too many people do bass demo's also, but there is a one or two that I've seen. This pedal is just brutal. At rehearsal tonight I had a few issues with it, but the guy I built it for loves it. I came home and reflowed a solder join you and bam, in business. It was the in lug (4) on my stomp switch. Second pedal I've done that to.

Nice build Jimi,
Just putting that pedal on a pedalboard gives instant mojo, now your guitar player has no excuses  ;D

Nice - esp on the bass Jimi.  It would never have occurred to me the octave-fuzz thing would suit bass.  Reminded me of Muse's bass sound.

Looks and sounds great! I've got to build me one of those soon...

I'm gonna build one for myself also. It sounds way cool on bass.

Fender pbas squire believe it or not,with a jazz neck,and I put Dimarzio split p humbuckers in it. It's a little trebley,but it works in this pedal.
