I recently bought a couple of pedals to do exactly what this pedal does. They are now for sale and if I had been paying more attention that this was due to be released then it would have saved me some minor hassle. In context we do a pretty fun set where something like the MXR is perfect. Save some presets which won’t need to be scrolled through mid song. The idea of the mini expression pedal expands the versatility but is not super necessary and an additional cost. The mini preset switch is handy and could be mounted on top of another pedal or closer to most accessible area of the pedal board. Like I mentioned I think a whole lot of people are gonna find this very handy.

Yeah, it just staying in preset mode until you do a long press would make more sense to me.

When I was looking at a Smart for Two car way back. I told the dealer if it could hold my bass gear, he'd get the sale. He brought the car to my house to see if my two mesa boogie cabs, bass in case and my amp could fit in the car. It did so I bought the car. 🙂

Regardless of the features, I must admit, the sounds hit me straight away.....they nailed it.

The oroblem with collagen supplements is that for the body to absorb them they have to be broken down into bits - the same as any other protein. Rather like dismantling a lego model to push it through a hole. Just as you can make a multitude of things with lego, the body will use these bits to make whatever proteins it needs. Any balanced diet with plenty of protein is just as good at supplying these bits, and there's twelve time as much protein in 100g of baked beans as a typical collagen capsule. Usually the collagen in the capsule is already broken down but the gut is damn good at digesting protein anyway. The other issue is the body is full of collagen and won't necessarily target the joints that have wear.

I know nothing about pianos but reading through some of the replies to this goes a long way to explaining why the pianos in church halls often sound bloody awful.

The only potential thing I see is that after cycling through the 8 presets, it always goes back to panel mode so you’d have to make sure nothing crazy was dialled up there to avoid a nasty surprise.

Correct.

Thinking the preset switching could be better is hardly asking for a completely different feature.

I don't think that's really what anybody said. A few people have simply noted that the preset switching seems to be a weaker aspect of the pedal. Not a showstopper by any means.

It's a CS7. Technically I can't fault it - the action and sound is great.

Oh yeah absolutely - the simplicity of the MXR is a plus for me personally. Not tried the C4 but I've had a Future Impact for years and really like all the deep diving you can do, however the immediacy of the MXR is really cool. I loved the EHX Micro Synth for the same sort of reason.

I don't get the preset moaning thing. If you use synth bass a lot, you're probably not the intended audience - FI4 or an actual key bass would make more sense.... If you're in a band where the whole band being on midi controlled effects sequenced to the click and needing midi control, it's probably not for you... Occasional synth parts, and any band where there's a second between songs (when the guitarist is tuning?) to reach down and click onto your next preset... surely you'll be fine? I really don't get the whole "Oh if only it had X" thing you see on here, and a lot on talk bass... "oh if it had X Y and Z I'ld be buying it" - well there are already products that do that get that instead. Most companies look to slim down the UX into something that is simple and usable. If you look at Source Audio for instance who tend to get lots of opinions and try and do them, they get criticised as they are too complex...

This would cure my GAS for all other synths pedals and the limitations of Boss Gt1 B. The eight presets would be a limitation that I reckon could be worked around. The biggest problem is that I'm not in the Madonna band that necessitated synth sounds!

Fair enough and I think that’s true for all the people on other forums going, why doesn’t it have usb (apparently it does inside), why can’t we share presets, connect it to a computer etc. Just buy something else, we’ve all got loads of options these days. For me who’s been on the fence over a C4 for years because I don’t enjoy messing with my phone when playing it’s ideal. Same sort of vibe as the controls on my Subdecay Noise Theory but simpler than the Subdecay Pixelwave. This probably gets rid of the MXR BOD and Mojohand Filter off my board (Other than the filter is only there because it looked weird with the gap 😂) and then anything I use the Zoom MS60b/+ for. A nice thing to have with minimal faff to play along to modern pop songs.

I put these on my US Fenders, they certainly work and they give me peace of mind when changing strings that I`m not going to end up with a rattler. I may well have one that I`m not using, if interested PM me and I`ll check when home from work.

It's just another thing to buy and make room for. The solution I outlined would work better for me.

The first time I watched the video, I wasn't sure what I was watching. But I read your description, watched again and I get it! Impressive, and an interesting way to make music. In a way, not so different to our church band, except we have no tech, and play standing around the MD's piano so we can hear his instructions but the congregation can't.

You can add a small switch to cycle presets, I don’t really see the issue here.

DM me the address for the DCX and I’ll get it out this week, you can have it until someone buys it 😂 Bass Synth I’ll update you on when I know more.
