JHS?

So I've a MS70cdr and just tried it out... Stick it at the end of your chain and you can turn off the whole chain (as per LineSel) .... Turned on you can blend clean into effected... So run a delay into a reverb into a bit crusher - full wet.... and then add the clean in at the end!

I made a wanted thread and Sam kindly offered to sell me what I was looking for... amazing and thank you so much @SamIAm

Those are global stats - but if you look at us/uk/japanese markets iOS is more prevalent. It depends where Zoom are trying to sell their products too. none of which stop the ms100bt being the ugly duckling of the product line with or without an android ap

I have no horse in that race - it was pure Sunday morning wondering and trying to work out why!

I don’t disagree that an android app would have been good - but my brain also wondered why they hadn’t so I dug into it a bit more … globally today android makes up 75% - but in 2011-2012 when the ms100bt would have been in development the market leader would have been symbianOS - with a clear change coming in 2012 towards android and iOS In the U.K. in 2012 when the ms100bt came out iOS 43% market share android was third with 25% For 2022 it’s closer to 52% iOS 48% android for the US Android is even further behind as 2nd most popular. 49/40 in 2012 48/42 in 2023 from what I can read 2012 android is fractionally more popular in japan but in 2012 far less Japanese people had smartphones compared to the US and it was the year that apple became the most popular phone brand… Last 12 months is 67% iOS 32% android so from what I can work out, if you were going to make an app for the markets where you were selling gear, then iOS would still possibly make sense. I wonder if the 100bt was based on pressure to have something like it in the US or something- from what I can make out it didn’t sell amazingly and had a convoluted “effect store” thing that they eventually binned - with small sales and android being less of a thing in japan spending the ¥ to port it over to android wouldn’t be a priority https://www.statista.com/statistics/487373/market-share-mobile-operating-systems-uk/#:~:text=Apple's iOS was the leading,the market leader in 2019. https://explodingtopics.com/blog/iphone-android-users# https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/japan

Bet they sell more targeting them to different audiences- it’s about going here’s your bass amps, want the cool reverbs get another pedal… it’s only relatively recently the original range was backward engineered so they could have whatever patches on them

It looks like what they have done is taken the G11 and chopped it up into different bits. drive, ir, cdr - and then done a selection of stuff for a general guitar and bass pedal

Based on a MXR M287 apparently- which is a pedal I have never heard of!

You know the things that are super simple on a digital pedal but not in analogue world…. something like this would get close https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/filter-fx-loop (I should trace the crossover bit of the miniXO I’ve got and make it like a effects loop…

We used to have a piano growing up with burl veneer finish just like that. None of my family could play but it just sat there - it was a wooden frame too so couldn’t even be tuned.

Shall I quote you on this in 12 months and see how it went?

Nice - this was 2 miles from my house and someone said they would buy it 30 min before I could! glad it's gone to one of us lot! Let us know how it sounds when you've fixed it up

It feels topheavy with the Moog and ampeg at the top!

Crossover fully down is 100Hz on the mini XO - IMO it sounds better higher cleaning up the low mids a bit

With XO where?

I've got a load of similar but are slimmer to fit about the width of the switch - I think latching or non latching relays have quite an effect on power consumption?

sound clips (with a variable XO frequency @matybigfro ) of my pedal at various settings... sorry for the bad playing - single takes late at night

why do you need anything? I know that's what forums like this do, gravitate on the latest new shiny thing.... but you don't need it. Double bass and lessons?

I found it really interesting making sound clips of mine - far easier to hear recorded than while playing!
