    The beauty of just packing them up is that they are not gone; if you miss something, it’s easy to dig it out again. I’m looking for the sweet spot of having things that will inspire to play and write music without swamping me with so many options that I never get beyond tweaking. Don’t get me wrong, I love designing sounds and that’s a nice way to be creative when musical ideas aren’t forthcoming, but I don’t want that to be all I end up doing.

    Thanks. Yes, there are a few of us Sheffielders on here. There’s at least one I know I won’t ever get rid of: Future Impact as I did a lot of work on the feature set of the pedal in everything from v3.00 onwards. Will likely keep an analogue octaver and analogue envelope filters. The C4 is quite dear to me too as during lockdown I created and shared hundreds of sounds for it, which got me noticed by Source Audio and I’ve been beta testing for them since then. I’ll keep a reverb, delay and some kind of phaser. Everything else is up for consideration. I really don’t ever use much distortion so those will likely go. Ultrawave is already listed and I might list the Aftershock at some point. For the moment, I’ve listed two of the ones I’ve not ever really played in the 2-3 years I’ve had them. A couple more fall into that category, but those are ones I’ve never even played yet, as opposed to the ones I had played but wasn’t motivated to play further. Is there anything in particular you were looking for?

    Here’s a demo by Nate Navarro. He demos one of my presets at around 4.37

    @mcnach this is the reboot of the Bass Multiwave Distortion, if you’re interested.
  6. Quatschmacher
    Sold.
  7. Quatschmacher
    Sold, pending payment.

    I might have priced that a bit high. Let’s say £225 instead.

    Another super-powerful Source Audio pedal that I beta tested but then have never used. I’m trying to declutter my brain so listing stuff I don’t need. 10-band, dual-channel EQ that can be used as standard EQ or parametric. Bands 1 and 10 can be reconfigured as shelving filters. Band 10 can also be made into a resonant band pass or low pass filter. In as-new condition. Pictures to follow as it’s packed away currently. Price includes UK delivery via Special Delivery, fully tracked and insured.

    Having a bit of a gear rationalisation drive. This is another pedal I beta tested for Source Audio but have never really used since it launched as I’m not a big user of distortion. Far better for it to go to someone who will use it and for me to declutter my overloaded brain. It’s a fully featured multi-band, dual-channel distortion pedal with advanced multi-band tremolo and the same dual-band compressor that’s in their Atlas. It’s an incredibly deep pedal with enough options for years of exploration and inspiration. However, if you find programming daunting, you can simply download other users’ patches from the cloud via the Neuro app. It will do “standard” distortion as well as some really synthy foldover distortion. It’s in as-new condition and is the limited edition (100 units worldwide) with the very special paint job that isn’t on the standard versions. Just to be clear, the pedal is exactly the same as the standard versions internally, it just has the rather lovely textured paint and patterning. Price includes UK delivery via Special Delivery, fully tracked and insured.

    I’ve been feeling hugely overwhelmed by my pedals of late. Every one that gets added seems to exponentially increase the choices available and I’m finding that quite debilitating. And this coming from someone who is co-designing a MIDI controller. I’ve decided to pack everything away for a while and see what I end up missing. Think it’s probably time to shift a few things that I have never really used too (so keep an eye on the classifieds as there should be some nice bits of gear appearing soon). I’ll just get one thing out at a time for continuing testing Mortrix. This is my very minimalist setup now.

    Livestream has had the audio edited to remove some vocal artefacts.

    My favourite Dan album. Pretzel Logic is a close second.
  14. Quatschmacher
    Do try. They did reply so hopefully it’s been sorted by now.
  15. Quatschmacher
    Not sure. I’ll email them to get it fixed.

    I wasn’t talking about palm muting, though this can also be used if desired. I was talking about regular string muting which is a part of normal playing. i.e. how you stop unplayed strings from ringing out and how you bring a played string to rest. So a combination of having left-hand fingers resting lightly on unplayed strings and lifting a finger from a fretted note cleanly whilst quickly putting down other fingers lightly on that string to prevent any note-off noise. Then in the right hand, a combination of thumb/finger anchoring on unplayed strings and the Gary Willis right-hand finger muting technique whereby after you’ve plucked a note with one finger, the alternate finger is placed on that string to mute the note. Using all these things together where needed does vastly improve how the FI plays. Not only that, they are all useful tools in normal playing to help control note length, articulation and clean playing (no unwanted notes ringing out).
  21. Quatschmacher
    Wonderful!
  22. Quatschmacher
    Certainly, being able to mute at will when appropriate makes one a better bass player. It’s an integral part of being able to control note length. Nothing terribly controversial there. I actually found using the FI a useful practice tool for diagnosing some technique issues I needed to work on.
  23. Quatschmacher
    Great stuff. It’s already available in the cloud along with the hundreds of others I’ve made and shared. Bear in mind, you may not get instantly good results. You do need to really concentrate on muting technique to get the best out of the pedal. It’s worth the effort as it’ll make the pedal respond better but will also improve your general bass playing.

    My favourite too. This was supposed to be blue but I changed my mind, hence the joke on the headstock.
  25. Quatschmacher
    Not the greatest pics but give an idea.
