The demos / reviews seem quite good, might give it a try...


Well I gave it a try, arrived yesterday had a shot through the PA last night... Best £25 I've spent in a while, get's the bass tonez I need - just using the Harmonics knob after setting up the desired base sound gets loads of great usable sounds. I'm not a time served bass player but I highly recommend this thing.

Good info to have. I'll watch the video now.

Edit* Very cool. Crazy good for £25.

If it's still on offer at that price when I get paid next month I might invest in one.

Thanks for posting Dezb. I saw you mention this pedal in the other bass thread and was interested to see what you thought of it (been looking for something similar for home recording).

Just went to order it from Coda though and it seems to have disappeared from their website :(

Have e-mailed them to see if it's an internetz error or whether they don't have any more.

Nextbigthink (seller) have them on eBay for £50 I offered 40 got a counter offer of 45, then I seen the coda price... I'd still have been happy had I paid the £45...

I've been using a VST that's an emulation of a Sansamp for bass tones recently. It's been working pretty well so far but it'd be nice to have something that actually exists in the physical world.
I might have to pick one of these up.

Coda got back to me. They've sold out and are not planning to get any more in.

I suspect if I'd only ever seen it for £50 or whatever then I would just pick one up for that. Knowing they were available for £25 has turned me in to Scrooge though *arsecake*.

I'd be the same... The other option I was considering was the behringer v-amp pro DV247 are punting them for £67.
