Was it a Spinal Tap cover set perhaps?😂

I do get down to London from time to time but not in the near future. You’re welcome to try it next month when you’re up here.

I’ve had a whole raft of new ideas this week. One has been confirmed as straightforward to implement and will bring some nice improvements. Wondering if it might even make it into the next update. I’m also hoping it’ll open the door to my fleshed-out ideas for having improved patch management directly on the pedal.

It tracks brilliantly. The latest version (V4) has the best tracking by far. You can do loads with just the pedal itself, many users never touch the editor. I’m pushing to revise the factory sound set to include a bunch of these classic patches in the first slots. Many of them are already available amongst the free patches I and others have shared. I’ve also fleshed out UI ideas for stuff that will allow improved patch management directly on the pedal. If you’re anywhere near Sheffield, you could try mine.

Not tried the Future Impact yet? It does these sounds with ease.

Currently testing an update which adds portamento for audio-triggered playing.

Yeah, some folks have relabelled the slogan from “play for life” to “pay for life”.😂

Looks interesting. Takes the same concept they use on their plugout synths:

That’s a lot of sales. 3000 units in 28 hours and the next 3000 already sold in advance of production! They definitely hit the right combination formula of features and marketing.

Still 10 units left on the pre-order: https://www.singularsound.com/products/beatbuddy-2-preorder-9030715048180?variant=46569727557876

There’s no expression output on the pedal. You can take the signal from the “envelope out” port and run it through an inverter and feed it back into the cutoff input jack, which is what you needed the CP-251 control processor for.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I returned the new one I bought. You needed to buy the control processor just to get a down sweep. PastFX do an excellent 101 clone in a normal-sized enclosure with solid build quality so I’m not as interested in this particular Behringer version, though I’m sure it’ll be good.

Or Source Audio Lunar (or Mercury or Gemini), though volume control is only via the app when creating presets, which is a bit frustrating.

Behringer BM13 but it’s enormous.

I don’t; I think the footprint is slightly smaller but deeper. Black Pearl is a loaner for comparison. Tempted to get one. Gigging with 5 MF pedals is mad. Need PastFX to make one of their shrunk-down clones of this like they did with the 101.

It’s a big beast; comically large. Can’t realistically get this on my Aclam board Knobs aren’t bolted to the case, which is disappointing, but I suspected might be the case, given the price. Sounds nice though. Seems to be a fair amount of top end roll-off compared to the Black Pearl (another MF-103 clone); the Wombtone has much more high-end clarity. Not sure whether I’ll keep it, mainly due to the knobs and the size.

10+ In stock at Andertons. Just ordered one. https://www.andertons.co.uk/behringer-bm13-phaser/
