Foxrox Captain Coconut 2

Plug in one side out the other, then edit all the patches you want. The manual is very informative. I upgraded mine with the Hot Silicon Fuzz card. I don't know why some folks think it's so hard to figure out. All the jacks are there. It's just three effect boxes in one box with in and out jacks for each one. Dave has made so the player has an option to patch it differently if heor she doesn't like the order of the effects. A great feature!! If you like it plug in one side and out the other, easy enough!

This thing is far superior to the rest. It really nails the whole Jimi thing.The tones are amazing!I sold my other brands. The CC2 is quiet. I use it with Fender Twins a Siegmund Midnight Special and a Bruno Cowtipper 45. All three effects are the best I ever heard. I have owned many boutique pedals looking for that tone, this is it.

Built like a friggin tank. Back up,Schmack up.

Dave Fox is a great guy.

I love this thing. I gave it all 10's because it deserves it. The tones are rich, really the best I have ever heard! Robin trower should try one of these on his next album. I have been playing 25 years, listening and trying to get these sounds right. The CC2 nails it and then some. Waiting in line for the TZFlanger, man Hendrix studio sounds at your fingertips what a great life!!!

Lots'a'knobs. Took a few minutes but I figured it out. Too much info in the manual! I guess it's good for those who like to read a lot. I dont' need no stinkin manual.

Lived up to my expectations and more. The Provibe blew me away, my ultravibe will be up for sale soon. Octave is the first octavia effect I've used and it's awesome, got "who knows" sound instantly! Fuzz is very fat with very low noise. I was plesantly surprised. And it cleans up like a dream. I ordered it with vintage germanium fuzz card.

Solid like a brick. Obviosly made with all high quality parts. The pots feel great, as do the switches and jacks. Nice job.

Ordered directly from Dave Fox. He put up with my nonsense about when I would recieve it.

This pedal is a classic. Foxrox makes great stuff, I can't wait for that Flanger!! CC2 has a permanent spot on my pedal board.

Fuzz face - easy to get a tone out of it, use your volume on your guitar to clean it up a bit. Has pot so that you can set it up to work with your Wah-wah pedal. FoxRox sell a separate control for wahs, should have included it with package.

Provibe - easy to setup and get tone from this also. Prescription Electronics make a better product.

Octave - very hard to get good tone, lots of cherps, clicking etc. Junk

Fuzz is authentic.

Provibe - clean

Octave - junk

So so

Receive e-mail same day, response to my query on the octave was playing style, etc... Funny, I could get the proper sound from my prescription electronics pedal without any problem.

Blues, JH and SRV - fair match, going back to my other pedals.

Been playing since 1959!

If stolen, I would claim it on my insurance. Not buy another.

Very easy to use. I've been using Univibe FuzzFace and Octavia effects as long as I've been playing guitar (24 years) and CC2 is simply these three effects in one unit.
What really attracted me to CC2 is the fact that these three effects are in one box, and I don't have to think about patching them or powering them individually on my pedalboard. In, Out, and one power connection, and I'm ready to rock.

Fender relic, Marshall plexi.
The three effects are the best I've ever heard.

The Provibe is a wonderful Uni-vibe clone. A bit more high fidelity than the original Uni-vibes I've played. I especially like how it can go very slow without diminishing the effect.

Fuzz was a little darker than what I prefer. I contacted Dave Fox and got his "Hot silicon BC109C" fuzz card. I was able to swap out the little circuit card in about 10 minutes. Now that's more like it! Best fuzz I've ever used. Bright, fat and intense with gobs of sustain.

Octave is exactly like a vintage Tycobrahe Octavia. I ended up selling my Fulltone Octafuzz, which is also a great pedal BTW. It sounds very close to the Fulltone, but not quite as bright, which I like.

I've never had a guitar effect built like this. It's heavy and the box is rock-solid. I guess everything can fail at some point. But I don't expect any trouble from this box. There's nothing cheesy about it.

Dave Fox was easy to deal with. He even answered tone-related questions that had nothing to do with CC2. He's a professional guitar player, and I found his advice to right on. I expect that he would be very supportive if my CC2 developed a problem.

Great box! I kind of expected (or feared) a jack-of-all-trades, master of none type of thing. But I was pleasantly surprised. I can't imagine any of the three effects sounding any better. And holy shit! The owner's manual is like a bible on getting great sounds out of vibe, fuzz and octave effects. 20 pages crammed with pictures and text in a nice binder. This is classy stuff...

Not easy at all. Lots of potential combinations to explore. Many knobs. No recommended presets or patch paths. Requires a lot of time to realize its potential. One great pedal but very hard to operate, esp for new users.

Played with SRV Stat. Excellent sound once you figure out the right settings. That's a lot of work. Great tone tho. Henderix and SRV blues type.

Seems rock solid. Never gig w/o a backup but I'd chance it with this one. It's sturdy. But pricey.

Not used. But no manual included in box so they did not think ahead on recomending user presets and patches.

Teaxs Blues. Been playing 40 years and am studio musician.
If stolen, probably not get another, too expensive. But this is a very good unit.

The manual is wonderful and helps you get a handle on things quickly. The VIBE is very sensitive to my amps tone controls, specifically gain and high end. Lots of interaction and experimentation needed there. It's easy to get great OCTAVE sounds but read the manual which has essential tips; the FUZZ is user friendly.

I bought this for the vibe but have been swept off my feet by the octave. Truly amazing. I like Michael Landau and this effect is a godsend. I love it! The fuzz is wonderful and quite versatile. The vibe is great: nails the "Dark Side of the Moon" perfectly as well as "Machine Gun" and Trower.

Built like a WWF Diva. (Built quite well.)

Fairly prompt reply with e-mails and helped me get some great tones.

I play rock, funk, blues, metal, surf--just about everthing except straight jazz, country, and classical-- for about 22 years. This is one of the finer pieces of outboard gear I have owned. Very quiet with a great s/n.

I run two Sadowsky guitars--one hum single hum and one strat style with Kinman pups--into a Soldano X99 and Soldano SLO-100. My other effects are a Teese Picture Wah, Demeter Tremulator, Analogman Clone Chorus, Carl Martin Comp/Limiter. I record with a Palmer PGA-04 speaker simulator.

I have a CD being released July '02 at www.cdbaby.com and the Octave from the CC2 is promptly featured.

pretty simple to use ,given all the knobs on one unit. the patching abilitiesb are a pretty cool thing to have and use. manual is pretty straight forward .

running it thru a jimmy hendrix tribute strat and ibanez x series with axis research fuzzfaze and dano cool cat chorus .an early all tube 100 watt carvin head with an built in equalizer. jimmy hendrix is the man and this enables me to experiment with producing my own sounds as well as jimmy hendrix songs.

is built like a battle ship.

emailed foxrox on availability and and responded quickly.

The CC2 is simply fantastic ! - easy to dial in a sound - itz all good
3 effects in one box - & yes they can be routed in any fashion desired
The manual is like a school report folder - CC2 is guitar school cool
The fuzz card can be changed - but the card in the unit covers ground!

My current setup -
50's reissue Strat w/Vintage Hot Fralins (smokin !)>
Tube Zipper>CC2(octave & fuzz)>FD2>Ts9/808>Tu2>CC2(provibe)>
VoxWah(w/FoxRox-retrofit)>Line6-DL4>SuperHardOn>
2FenderHotRod-Deluxe(clean channels-only) I love it !!!
waiting on a bi-comp !!!
Noise is off my list of problems.... Killer Rig
The CC2 sounds great & mixes well with other effects...
I have always been a fan of Hendrix / Trower (big time !) etc.
I jammed w/ friends & just had fun - then -
I bit the bullet & gave AnalogMan the funds - & IT ARRIVED !

I live in a 1 bedroom Apt - so I was not cranking up anything but liked what I heard - then I took it to the jam & my life changed -
My friends were just raving about my sound & my playing -
I said that it was the same old me - but now this other thang has the control - The CC2 will tell you what to play - That Simple !
I have never been more excited about playing - I practice all the time & I give thanks to AnalogMike / DaveFox / & MikeFuller for changing my Tone Forever !!!

Built Like A Tank !!!! Killer THICK METAL ENCLOSURE -
Sturdy Knobs w/ excellent resisance when you turn the knobs -
Quiet Switching - Good Volume Blending - etc etc...

I would have to gig w/o backup - this boutique stuff high $ !!!

Dave Fox Is really good w/ email - prompt & informative -
I seriously doubt if it will ever fail -
If it does - Dave will fix it - or I will buy another one -
I need this thing....

I play Bules oriented Funk Rock & Reggae Music - I am exploring
DUB music & this unit fits right into my vibe .....
15 years of playin - I am playing some melodihorn
(kinda like a melodica - Agustus Pablo) & I play some hand drums too
Bass is next - IT ROCKS !
STOLEN ! - Instant re-order(after the insurance $ comes) -

As previously mentioned in another review -
The CENTER CONTROL ON THE PROVIBE RULES -
my settings -
Provibe -
Voloume 50% / Width 50% / Center 40% ! / Speed 60% (i change it some!)
& I love ECS mode TOO -
Chorus is my normal setting -
but the High Rate Vibrato stuff is nice sometimes too.

FUZZFOOT - various settings sound good - but I Like -
Volume on about 30-35% & Grit 20-25% & Fuzz 50-100% I cannot decide
It all sounds so darn good - 10% grit 100% fuzz is Santana/Hendrix 15% Grit & 50% fuzz is leaning towards Page - High Grit settings induce Ovtave type sounds - KILLER FUZZ !!!!

Octave - I like 0-15% drive & 25% volume - SWEEEEET !!!

I wish for nothing - sorry harmony central
THIS THING IS PERFECT !!!

I'm posting specifically because I changed my Fuzz card to the classic Germanium/Germanium configuration.
It is very easy to change the Fuzz card.

I use an American Strat with Lindy Fralin Blues +baseplate pickups into a 100 watt Rivera Quiana Studio head w/2X12 vintage 30s closed back. I love the sound of this unit, it has no equal. The new Fuzz card has a warmer more vintage sound, but with either, this is the best I've heard.

Dave Fox is a true master and stands steadfast behind his product.
It's built like a vault! I can't wait 'till he comes out with his new Flanger.

I can't say enough about Dave Fox. He pays close attention to your concerns and gives accurate reliable advice.

The best Classic Rock/Jimi Hendrix/Trower pedal ever.

I?ve owned several Fuzz Faces, an original Unvibe and a Roger Mayer Octavia. I liked them all. The CC2 is just as easy as using those three effects. But the effects are in one box so in that sense it?s easier to hook up.

I really love the way it sounds. The Provibe has a control that the original Univibe doesn?t ? Center. It works kind of like the Manual control on a flanger ? you can modify how the sweep sounds. This, alone makes it more desirable to me than any other Univibe effect.
The Fuzz is very warm and responsive. I have the default ?Hybrid? fuzz, but you can get other types and plug them into the circuit board. I can?t imagine it sounding better than this, though.
Octave is a bit warmer and less shrill than my Roger Mayer Octavia, but it sounds very similar.
I?m surprised at how little noise this thing makes ? with all three effects on, I can turn down the volume knob on my guitar and it?s damn near silent.

So far, so good. The thing feels so solid that I have no fear of a reliability problem. I?ll bet that the metal box alone costs more than most of the cheaper guitar effects out there.

I read posts on HC Effects forum from Dave Fox from time to time, so I imagine he?s very easy to get a hold of. And I hear nothing but good things. However, so far I have not corresponded with him.

This is a very classy box, and in my opinion, worth every penny. Lately it?s been the only box I take to sessions, gigs, jamming. I love it! I?ve owned it since 10/01, but after reading the ridiculous review Submitted by ?Guess_I'm_Off_His_Christmas_List?, I thought it was time for me to submit my own review. That guy obviously shouldn?t have bought it in the first place! Idiot! Take my word for it ? CC2 lives up to the hype! Actually, where?s the hype?? I don?t? see any hype about it. I think it?s the boutique effects world?s best kept secret!
