yeah I get that, I feel the same way about some things, and especially touch screens and needing to plug into my laptop to edit... But if you get something where the UI is good and simple enough it becomes a tool to let you do things that are either really hard or expensive to do with analogue pedals then who cares what tool is used, if it sounds good enough, it is good enough.... What I find more strange is that this will be the flavour of the month for a while and feature on 50% of the "post your pedalboard" threads on here and talk bass but in a years time be replaced by something new... it's the unsettling changing that somewhere I don't understand

anyone got a recommended source for Lumberg mono jacks and 2.1mm DC jacks? Musikding is out!

Also if we take away amp modelling and so on which I’m sure is brilliant … it does make me think of zoom line6 will be at the end where there’s a million different effects modelled source audio are the end where the effect has a million different variations you can make this is the zoom middle ground?

It makes me think of a quad cortex went on a diet and made babies with a zoom b3

that is a very exciting looking box... you have the best bitsas!

I need to get my broken BOD back to play with, currently like the valeton oc2 clone

Neve style in a pedal

Hold on, the toggle switches, into a pcb are one of the least likely things to be a bug to find.

Isn’t the left knob of the BOD their take on a oc2 type octaver and the right knob a EBS style octaver?

This guy has labeled his go for low pass Turn peak all the way up - that’s going to make the effect more pronounced then volume is output volume - just whack that up too. Then set the input gain down… and play notes while switching the range switch - one should sound dark and the other bright. The dark one is “up” stick on that then play notes while turning the input gain up hit with enough gain the filter should open if it does, it’s working properly if it’s already open turn down the signal going into it if it’s won’t open try boosting the signal

Is range the up/down switch? If it is then expect different input sensitivity to make it work. also does your build use vactrols or seperate led/optical resistor

Is range the up/down switch?

It doesn’t scroll with touchpad/mousewheel?

slightly typical source audio, the feature is there, but the UX isn't quite!

It's under filters now in the (...) menu - so click on filters and scroll down a bit and you can select the pedals you want to see the presets for

What genres are you mostly paying and are you putting this preamp on a pedalboard before an amp, or direct input? who’s tones do you love and want to aim for?

That’s what I do too! It’s great, but I re bought a hx stomp - and while the h9 sounds nicer and fits together nicely with midi it seems overkill!

See I’ve got to the place where my h9 is on the chopping black - then see someone on here using it and get tempted to hold keep using it!

thus is a good starting place

yes, but you’ll need to get to the point that they all do. the sound in my head is a Warwick hellborg preamp currently I get close to that with the Jhs colourbox but it’s a definite, useful and specific tone to me, and I wouldn’t use it as a recomendation to everybody !

Retro reel into valve preamp with high end rolled off?

erm - that’s a rabbit hole. some preamps are aimed to sound a bit like a console transformer sound. (Caveman bp1, Jhs colourbox, api tranzformer, Hudson broadcast) others give a valvey colouration to the sound. (Sushibox, Nobel preamp, shiftline and a million more) Then there’s all sorts to give specific preamp crunchy sounds like bass amps. but you’ll need to be more specific about what you’re after. For instance the Hudson broadcast and caveman stuff is both based loosely off studio preamp things - but very very different things!
