hello friends! :-D

i brought a few FX-pedals: T-Rex CompNova, Danelectro Cool Cat, Boss OC-3 & a Digitech Whammy Pedal

after a few days and a few experiments i discovered that the OC-3 Octaver also can used as a Speaker-Emulator for recording (no kidding!) :o

my Peavey Classic 50 had a major problem and would be replaced by the manufactory (peavey-europe).....so i have no "real" amp at home yet....sniff, but i guess i just have to wait for about a week or two until they send me the new one..... :wink:

so, i have a old Fender-The Twin in my basement (owned by a friend who gave me the amp b/c he has currently no practice-room or empty speace in his living room.....)...this amp sound like shit, but in combination with the OC-3 octaver as a Speaker-Emulator it sounds pretty cool.....

Ok....here is the signal-path

Gitaar (since this is a NL-forum :lol: ) -> T-Rex CompNova (compressor) -> fender "the twin" (red-knob version, early 90s) -> Boss OC-3 (Bass-Input, Drive Mode.....Drive-Knob on position zero, Output full-power, Octave 1 on position zero!....otherwise there is no speaker-emulator-effect!) -> direct into my Motu 828mk2 AudioInterface.....no EQ no FX (just the spring reverb from the fender amp)....

you mean there is NO speaker attached to the amp?
isn't that really bad for the OT?

with no power-tubes its not a problem.....preamp out direct into the Boss OC-3 octaver into the Motu 828mk2......so what?

The fender is used as a tube-preamp..... :razz: ......the boss OC-3 octaver is the speaker-emulator! It's pretty funny....but it sounds good! :wink:
