Great name, do you mind if i use that? Technically it can be.... a 9v battery can be wired up, but i couldn't say how long it would last...

a bit like their OD/Distortion pedals/ mod pedals. They are all capable of each others sounds, the only difference is what come pre programmed on the switches for those ppl who dont use neuro.

Some of you might find this useful/interesting..... When i opened up my future impact pedal out of curiosity to see what was inside, i was shocked to find mostly (continental brand) fresh air! Here you can see that the lower half of the pedal is almost exactly, approximately an MXR BEF worth of space!! So i formulated a plan to Design and 3D print an enclosure, into which i can re-house the innards of the Future impact, to make a much more pedalboard friendly footprint. I began by removing the knobs from the outside and the circuit boards from the inside of the case I then laser scanned the inside of the case to generate an STL that can be used to replicate the Mounting features/holes in the new design. I copied all of the internal/external features from the STL, but moved the foot switches as close to the circuit board as i could on the inside. I didn't put in any small holes for the screws, as i thought these would be better aligned using the actual circuit boards as a template. I printed the 1st Prototype ove night last night and assembled it this morning. Everything went together great and still functioned perfectly. I was able to reduce the length of the enclosure from 155mm to 101mm, and i think there's room for further improvement on that. The finished prototype unit. And here it is re-installed on the board. I plan to tweak the design and print another next week if i get a chance. Some of the changes will include reducing the length of the housing even further, moving the on/off switch more central to get it away from the encoder, adding a feature to recess display protector of some kind, branding/lettering. I'm open to suggestions for additional improvements. For now, its printed in PLA, but once the design is finalises, ill be printing it it Black Nylon which will stand up to pedalboard life a bit better. Once the design is complete, im happy to share the STL so you can print it yourselves, or £ven print a few and ship them out to those interested. *Any FI owners that's capable of cool graphic designs can have one for free if they develop the artwork (2 colors)

Yeah I really like this idea!

1. This deserves its own thread. 2. Get the wood CNCd on a router/mill. It's not as expensive as you might think.

We don't comment on ongoing investigations. A statement will be released in due course.

this is awesome! 4 awesome voices, 3 french hens, 2 narly filters, and a partridge in a pear tree!!!

Dear mods, can you delete page 2 of this thread? thanks and regards, Thread hijack victim

I never turned notifications OFF on my own thread before.....

I'm gonna change the title of this thread to "thread criminals retreat".... ...And start another thread.

Wouldnt know how too im afraid. just go to their twit account

nee naw, nee naw.... THIS IS THE THREAD POLICE. PUT YOUR HANDS UP!!!! YOU ARE BOTH ARRESTED UNDER SUSPICION OF THREAD HIJACKING!!!

The manta can't do anything like what's in the Instagram demo so I'm fairly sure it's a completely new engine. Although it is likely to cover some of the filter features of the manta. On the face of it, it appears to be a dedicated pitch tracking, oscillator based synth pedal. Future impact killer??? 😮

i think it's about time we started getting excited about this... They have started releasing pictures and a bass demo on their instagram, and it looks like they are going with the small one series format. Id have preferred a large format, but if the depth/range of their other pedals is anything to go by, its going to be awesome!

i disagree.

are you disputing the existence of "heft"?

The GAK website says the string spacing is 19mm, can you confirm this? it doesn't look like tht wide to me...

Holy mother of god that is a stunner. Where did you get it? I want one

That's the perception yes but it's not the whole story....Ableton is also a fully capable audio/midi tracker in its own right. I've been using it to produce, record sessions and live bands for years and found its feature set/workflow very intuitive after learning Daws on primarily sonar, and fruityloops. Horses for courses tho I suppose edit: its also VERY stable! which is essential if your recording live! i think i've yet to witness ableton crash even once.

I'm a bit late to this thread i appreciate, but the strymon Deco adds all the saturation and overtones i could ask for, into my fairly clinical genz benz head (which i love like my only child). Its effectively a tape recorder saturation and flutter/wow emulation pedal. here's a great Italian bass demo, the satutation solo`d starts at 3:10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c3SQjePF5I The saturation side of the pedal is by no means an obvious "effect" but gives a subtle warmth to the sound that wont change the core tone like all the pedals already mentioned on this thread. The flutter side of the pedal can do everything from subtle tape warble, lush chorus and into double tracking. And it has stereo outs if your into that sort of thing!

if i had to choose just 1.... (and i have owned them all).... MXR BEF

I cut my teeth as a musician on the acoustic guitar and still listen to many bluegrass/acoustic players when the time is right. here's one of my all time favs... and i used to be able to play this many years ago. maybe ill give it a try again
