Expensive? I think they’re around £250-ish plus import charges if you buy new. So not cheap but to put that into perspective you get a delay, looper, phrase sampler with numerous modes and different capabilities so probably not ridiculously over priced tbf.
They are their own own thing and definitely worth trying out if you have the chance. I sold mine for cash when I was skint and have regretted it loads since!
Lots of fun for making weird sounds with - I have two
I think...
The support, RIchard Youngs, was truly dreadful, however I think you'll be spared him - I imagine he was only playing Glasgow.
The Gibson with the Bigsby and the Rio Grande humbucker in the neck was definitely my favourite in terms of tone. First time I saw them he was still on the Telecaster... but I think he gets bored of whatever he's playing occasionally and then likes to pick up something new for the sake of it.
Richard Youngs last song involved him repeating the same line acapella while packing away all his gear, including pedal power supply, putting e-bow in its box, etc. He used to be an acceptable acoustic singer-songwriter... We reckon he must've micro-dosed too much LSD or something... Truly excruciating to watch. Not helped by the fact that the way the venue was set up, he had a captive almost capacity audience.
Sometimes I think that clever artists choose bizarro support acts so that they seem even better when they finally hit the stage. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are the same, the support always seems insanely bad...
Although for a band like Low, it's probably more a decision taken by the local promoter than them when they are not in the US...

ETA: Might be an old Octane 3 - I've seen a video where the graphics were different than they are now.

Very few “hits” - mostly new stuff and/or deep cuts. Awesome.
I’ve been working through their back catalogue for the last couple of days and thoroughly enjoying.
Cheers buddy
