We are, of course, talking Aguilar\u2019s Octamizer pedal.<\/p>\n<p>The original circuit has been updated with an added octave up setting that\u2019s a sure-fire solution to adding thickness to higher-register lines. Three independent footswitches provide control over the clean signal, octave down, and octave up effects, allowing you to stack voices instantly without adjusting any of the controls. The clean signal can now also be fully muted for pure sub-octave tones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we set out to design the Octamizer DLX, the goal wasn\u2019t to fix the original Octamizer \u2013 it was already doing what bass players needed,\u201d writes Aguilar. \u201cWe wanted to keep that familiar feel intact while giving players more creative space, better tracking, and new voices they could access instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-aecac986-c945-4bed-b705-892f8624b06d\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"walrus-audio-mantle-analog-bass-preamp-di-3\">Walrus Audio Mantle Analog Bass Preamp DI<\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video youtube-facade\" data-nosnippet=\"\" id=\"2TmwuOtpa4w\">\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\">\n<div class=\"watch-on-iframe-2TmwuOtpa4w\" data-yt-video-token=\"2TmwuOtpa4w\" title=\"Walrus Audio Mantle Analog Bass Preamp &amp;

This limited Custom Shop run brings the historic SB-1 design back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-25c87c6b-5ad4-40c9-ad91-cb24c04c1479\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fodera-victor-wooten-83-monarch-standard-3\">Fodera Victor Wooten &#8217;83 Monarch Standard<\/h2>\n<p id=\"29fd6422-0fbd-4867-a9f4-fb7a63bc4755\">If Victor Wooten has a hand in a product, people are bound to take notice of it, and his Fodera signature model is no exception. Honouring Wooten\u2019s original 1983 Monarch (serial number 037), the Victor Wooten \u201983 Monarch Standard is essentially a Monarch featuring details from Victor\u2019s own bass.<\/p>\n<p>It features a solid mahogany body with a beautiful maple top. The three-piece maple neck has an Indian Rosewood fingerboard with clay dot inlays. And powering it all is a Trickfish Custom 3-Band Preamp wired to EMG P\/J pickups.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing Wooten himself test out its rich tone and dynamic range was the icing on the cake. \u201cI got my first Fodera in 1983,\u201d said Wooten. \u201cI got it right out of high school and it just fit me perfectly.

After unveiling the dual-input DB-East signature head last year, the British amp builder is now offering the inner workings as a pro-level preamp.<\/p>\n<p>With dual inputs and two pre-dialed-in outputs, the DB-East Pre features a tube channel, a Range dial for adding bottom end to its overdrive, selectable mid pre-shapes, and a Tilt switch for a little more bottom or top end EQ.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s even a partner app to dial in East\u2019s favorite impulse responses, including IRs from hit record rigs. Pretty much everything a bassist could need on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a total game-changer,\u201d said East. \u201cThere&#8217;s a lot of information packed into this little
