Thanks. Just popped their albums in my massive to-listen-to list.

Don’t know how this flew under my radar:

Worth posting again. I bought their first six albums in one go after just hearing a few tracks here and then on YouTube.

I just checked their own website and they make some interesting stuff.

Just found another interesting one but looks to be LFO only: https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Benidub-Filtro-4-Pole-Analog-Filter/386O?origin=product-ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjbuBkayN7gIVyLvVCh3ayQbbEAQYAiABEgILhfD_BwE

Are these still available anywhere? Does it have the CV inputs and envelope out too?

@andybassdoyle, @GisserD, this looks interesting.

Yes, they stock some pretty decent synth stuff. They were listed as official dealers on some synth companies’ websites so assumed they were legit but I’ve never bought from them so far.

And my Skyline is lovely. Honestly, there are some great cheap basses out there and some expensive dogs. The Sterling by Musicman stuff is pretty decent quality.

Yep, and due to Corona I still haven’t managed to get out to Jon Shuker to pick it up. It’s been quite an ordeal (time wise, that is; Lakland were very commendable in footing all costs involved in rectifying the issue). Just hope it’s working now. Correct; the Skylines are built in Indonesia but go back to the US before hitting retailers.

It’s only on the dry bass signal. It is adjustable between two fixed frequencies and the amount of boost is also adjustable via a switch and trimpot inside.

Thanks. I’m guessing it’s probably normal.

@knicknack, could you possibly check something for me. On your MXR VBO, if, while the pedal is engaged, you press the mid switch down quite slowly until it engages, does the main LED cut out briefly?

The mini is slightly tweaked from the MKII. Says as much in the advertising and I had the two side by side at one point and there is a difference. The mini got grittier at the clockwise end of the tone knob. Still waiting for my III to arrive.

There’s also this: https://www.nemphasis.com/en/prodotti/pb-8-foot-controller.html

No, it’s something which looks almost identical to the ES8. might have been this http://www.musicomlab.com/efx-le.htm

The main thing which lets it down is the preset management. (Can’t fault the synth functionality at all, which is way beyond anything else in certain aspects.) After the next update, I will be pushing to get stuff added to the editor which makes the patch management easier. In fact I already have been and others involved have also expressed that it is necessary. Perhaps once no more updates to the device are possible they may be able to focus their attention more closely on the editor side of things. What was it you struggled with? Now you’re more familiar with the C4, the FI will probably make more sense to you.

There is another company that does a very similar thing to the ES-8 but can’t remember the name right now.

Or the Future Impact, which is about to get yet another brilliant upgrade.

Check out the Morningstar ML5. About £120 used.

It’s a very good one, one of my favourites and one I rebought. @lee650 is selling one right now too. Bootstrap loves this one and even called MXR and asked them to send one to Nik West! This is using it: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/9aSWECbGKBnwFijw6

No one seen any sign of these?
