Playing around w/ my #NativeAudio #effectsPedals #pedalboard.

I am disappointed in the #EarthQuakerDevices tentacle octave pedal. It doesn't really do anything. On low notes it adds a meh-sounding distortion. I can't tell if it's even adding an octave on the highest notes or just making them sound a little brighter.

No wonder the guy was selling it. After the fact, I went to EQD's website & they say in the FAQ it's not really for #bass & might make bad noises. On guitar, to use above 12th fret.

I've relegated it for use exclusively after delay+reverb. It looks cool.

Anyways, this Frydead Fuzz sounds good.

I need to reorder the rest… 😅

I'm debating turning my #GLguitars Fallout #shortscale #bassguitar into a #PiccoloBass. Tuned as:
B1 - .024
E2 - .036
A2 - .046
D3 - .060
G3 - .080

The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With #DRstrings, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings.

With a #Kahler *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.
