No, it selects which of the 9 preset modes is allocated to a given patch. So on the DI I have patches 1, 2 and 3 as variations of preset sound 1 which I could set to those positions by selecting the ‘Preset’ control and changing to ‘1’ then tweaking the other parameters. I think the only way to do that at the moment would be to set up the files on the computer with three of the same presets, download to the pedal and then tweak from there. If future versions can copy these directly on the unit it’d be great because it frankly makes me lose interest as soon as you have to plug into the computer to change anything.

Isn't that just cycling through the banks rather than changing the preset sound that's allocated to a given patch?

Fully appreciate the recreations of the DI settings on the FI, they were my main reason for buying it in the first place. However, the DI just seems easier to vibe with - less options means it's easier to be happy with a setting perhaps? And by Preset, I meant the 'Preset' option on the Parameter knob, the option missing from the FI.

Can’t quantify it, but I’ve used the FI for quite a while. I do like it, but I like the DI tones a lot more. The option of changing preset settings just on the unit is a definite bonus too.

As an update, I've tried it on an individual power supply and it seems a lot happier with that. Power supply I was using should be putting out enough, but maybe only just?

I've just recently managed to get my hands on an old Akai Deep Impact, seemingly in good working condition (lots of bartering and pedal trades involved...).It's been working fine for a couple of weeks, but has just started developing an issue where the effect is not engaging. It powers up and changes patches fine, and the On/Off switch LED lights up, but the effect itself does not kick in, and no lights happen on the Input Level monitor. Most of the time it stays in bypass, but occasionally there is just no sound. I know these are prone to glitching. Any current / previous owners have any advice on what to check? I've had a quick look under the hood and there doesn't seem to be anything loose...

Few article segments here: https://bassreviewmagazine.com/artist-jaco-pastorius/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3iQLmOW13WSy93GUXDZTaL705wG-p27C4U0xvsILNmnH0BXxaOqn4Q-vM_aem_AdPPTvwDwUDnVCSN-oYr-LqFV5xnQ5a4ntEyZJ7vx1pQQrG4-5n89sO5eJHE65dUeIg35wXJsI-7QjwqRppjZb_D TBH, the Jaco 'Artist Spotlight' doesn't really say much more than this...

Got to say, same here. I'm happy to see how things play out and get back into it in due course, but the same issues seem to be happening across the board.

Curious to other’s thoughts on this. Have read the first edition and it felt like it may have been mostly AI generated? Seemed to repeat itself a lot and not really cover any new ground. It’s only just started, so don’t want to judge too harshly!

Interesting. Requires some different routing, but could work well.

So, hear me out... The HX Stomp is quite tempting, but with a set of go-to pedals already it's difficult to figure out where it would sit with them. Pondering the alternative of two HX Ones at different points in the chain... It's a bit more space taken up, but easy to plan in different effects combos, and easier to power! Costs work out much the same, so it's more a case of how much space it takes up. No need for amp Sims, so am I missing anything with this?

Giving this a trial run: https://bassreview.co.uk Edition 1 just coming out. Looks like it’s covering a lot of old ground, but got to start somewhere I suppose…

My preamp-DI of choice is the Aguilar Tone Hammer, but their AG preamp pedal looks good too. Have used the EBS and it doe the job really well. Sansamp VT or Bass Driver are great, but do have a very specific tone. Happens to be one that most people like though… The Sadowsky SBP is great for super-clean bass, but very limited options.
