Well, to nitpick said compressor might have a build in buffer that would still affect the signal, even if switched off.
That said I am quite certain that wouldn't affect the tracking or accuracy of the tuner negatively.
If anything that actually ought to improve it.
it would have been a less humorous comment if I had caveated it too much.

The single colour / minimalist approach can be really nice, I love graphics like this on pedals. Although this may still be a UV print, I’m not sure.
Looks like a face plate similar to his origin do there’s
-
pretty sure, if it came to it, there's a foot switch somewhere on the compressor that might turn it off?

On a more serious note, I suspect that one of the reasons that boutique pedal builders opt for low-cost graphic solutions is that they simply don't produce their devices in sufficiently larger numbers at a time to be able to afford anything else. For anything reasonably professional looking they would need to be considering a production runs of several hundreds minimum. I wouldn't be surprised to find that some designs are only made to order, in which case the graphics need to be capable for being produced one at a time too.
The other thing is that most boutique pedal builders won't have budgeted for "design". As someone who makes their living doing graphic design (mostly for food packaging) myself I deal with quite a few clients who are doing low volume production runs. Despite the fact that I consider my rates to be competitive, many of them simply can't afford for me to create anything much more complicated in design than their logo and product name printed in a single colour on the box or label.
I think by the time they are making runs in the hundreds they either have a style that works too. There's a lot of meh, but there's not much in the "oh my word that's awful" camp that I've seen that are professionally/semi professionally for sale. Actually now I think there are a few but ... can just ignore them!

C4 before compressor? Hows rhat work out?
Fine. It was pragmatic to start with as downloading some folks patches they would be so loud! So I would use it like a limiter to stop me blowing my ears off.
In my mind the filter effects work best with an uncompressed signal, though that might be backward justifying what was me just trying not to blow my ears off!!-

I think you need to get over to musikding and start building things yourself!

2023 was the year I put together my first ever pedal board…2024 update…
Gone:
barbershop clone
tube preamp (in for repairs)
Barber Linden (not yet made it on board! )
Bass boost chorus(sold)
Pitchblack tuner (sold)
vong (sold)
miniXO (traded)
Added:
providence Anadime bass chorus - utterly lush
the iron man - my homage to the ss/bs mini
Aion L4 preamp - Moog designed two channel thing, the green channel is what became the pierce preamp.
zoom ms70cdr - the most cost effective way to get reverb and delay - mainly for the c4 sounds need to see how much use it gets
looper - because the zoom has a bit of tone suck

He does go on (and on!) about where to put this pedal in the chain - overthinking things, lol!
But finally says something useful at 2.40 when he comments "currently, as far as the actual models themselves go, I'm a lot more impressed with this than I was the MS-50G"
So to answer his question, I'd maybe suggest that's why this pedal exists 😅
Is it really that difficult for him? It’s a multi effects unit that has most the effect types that every multi effect unit this millennium has had.
they have split their line so can sim and irs are a different product, but that shouldn’t bother him as he says that’s only a small number of users… -

AFAICS most "boutique" pedal builders seem to be content to use artwork produced by their young children.
Ouch, tell us what you really think!

The Colourbox was the only one which I really didn't like, absolutely horrible tone.
I have a colourbox. The tone he has is the tone I try and avoid on it at all costs!

Mmmm, that's interesting. Does go into much details why, does he compare like for like and there's a noticeable difference?
said some of the features were missing. Mind you he had added extra effects onto his 50g so maybe the hacked 50g does more than a stock 50g+?

Yeah, they’ve basically solved all my issues with the older models with this.
Dedicated master volume is a big plus.
I’d still like to see the full fx list of the new 60b+ but I’m leaning CDR.
Just have to sell my existing MS’s (all 3 of them) 😅🙄
if you search 50g vs 50g+ there's a series of YouTube videos where someone in Japan (I guess) has compared the sounds on each...
He ended up selling the 50g+ and keeping the 50g! -

It's not so much about buying pedals, I work as a designer / illustrator, I wanted to see if any builders needed help with artwork.
Not for financial gain, more as a fun side project - I have a FT job so I'm busy enough but I always wanted to create artwork for pedals and really want to contribute or collab with a new builder.
ahhhh most the builders I can think of have a distinct style already - and those who don't I haven't heard of! I'm a designer/creative director myself and have kinda loved doing artwork on pedals I have built myself...

Seems odd no comments - folks worried about upsetting EBS?
More likely it's hard to bug fix via an internet forum!
I then asked you questions you had answered.... -

Does the 70CDR crack the filter and synth sounds that e.g. Helix struggles with, and does more on that score than the MS-60B? If so, definitely be worth checking out the 70CDR+ !
I've never been too fussed about bass amp / cab sims - a decent EQ set up gets me most of the way there on that score.
You’ve used more zoom stuff than me so are probably one of the best placed to answer that!
I’ve a ms70cdr at the end of the chain which was my budget way of getting reverb delay and whatever. SA at the front of the chain spoils me for synth stuff. (Money no object it would be fun to try the synth stuff on the H90, but my zoom cost a lot lot less than that!) -
If you’re buying could I please have a
Horrothia teeth,
COG octave and a
Sine Effects high pass filter
please
thanks

Is there any difference in the pitch they are centred on for tracking purposes?
I know with the Boss OC-5 octaver and Boss SY-1 synth (but interestingly not the Boss SY-200) pedals have a bass/guitar selector switch to optimise the pedal for whichever you're playing.
Thing is they have clocked one of the main markets for the old 70cdr was synth heads - and the frequencies for them will go lower than EB.
I guess it’s what you need it for, I have other preamps - but some folk will want a bass amp and cab sim

Someone’s got the effect list for the ms70cdr+ here

Effects list for the MS-50G+ - https://zoomcorp.com/media/documents/E_MS-50Gplus_FX-list.pdf
It's pretty much a subset of the MS-50G effects. it's not just the original MS-50G effects before they were expanded, I've just compared part of the list and there are one or two later additions to the 50G effects list that are on the 50G+. So expect a revamped MS-60B with a subset of the 130-odd effects currently on it (as I have said before) but presumably using a more recent chipset than the fairly elderly original MS series.
If you look at the top line B11 or whatever I think it will be those ported down and then added too

Still cheaper than the new Line 6 Bass Pod Express.
They really need to release solid lists of fx for these
Some here …

Hi, I am looking at an MIJ MV4 at around £1500, is this the right price level as I don’t have enough experience to gauge this?
I’ve seen mij on a range from 1200-2100 depending - so it sounds about right ballpark to me
-
btw I've added Musikding references the the BOM ... obviously other caps and suppliers exist. Red is not in stock currently

is that that the pole pieces are steel and the magnets are at the bottom (like a Dimarzio P pickup) as opposed to where the pole pieces are the magnet (fender style) ?
