Yeah I've heard about the volume hike which is a real shame because if not, it'd solve both my EQ/drive needs

So I've had my Vintage Deluxe for ages and always used it as a drive pedal, but I'm finding myself needing a preamp lately so I've started using it as a preamp/EQ section early on in my chain. I see a lot of people using the Tone Hammer for a similar role and I wondered how the two compare. Anyone have any opinions on the two pedals and the their abilities as drive/preamp pedals?

Thanks! Fixed this issue by doing exactly what you said for another issue, had forgot about the FI Editor issue ha! But now the FI Editor and the pedal itself aren't communicating.. There were no issues last week when I last tried hmm I'm changing my MIDI Preferences to use the Roland UM-ONE MIDI interface but when I apply my settings they don't save for some reason. Not sure why, the cable is being recognised by my PC, the drivers installed when I used it the first time and it's on COMP mode.. Any ideas?

I've got the Future Impact editor, however it always opens the window way too big, meaning I can't see a lot of the options on the bottom row. I'm unable to resize the window manually. Any idea what I can do to prevent this?

Tbh I can't even remove the knobs, i'm pulling harder than I would need to with any other pedal I have and they aren't moving at all.. I think I might contact Panda and see what they say.

Nope, no mods. Just owned it from new, nothing changed (except patch parameters)

Is it normal for the Output knob to be really stiff to move? Mine has been much harder to move than the other two controls since I got it new. It works fine but just seems weird

All you needed to say was "yes that is damage not dirt". I wasn't attacking you, I was simply asking so I can be sure of condition (as the previous commenter also did) as I know of someone else selling the same model Proton in better condition. I am aware you offered G&S if the buyer covers fees. I personally have never bought of someone who asked this, nor have I ever asked a buyer to cover fees when I've sold items. It's not against any rules though so, that's your choice. Nobody slandered anyone, I did not falsely accuse you of anything. I simply expressed why I may be reluctant to commit to buying this, which I believe to be fair enough seeing as I cannot see any items you've yet sold and therefore there is no feedback available. Good luck with your sale.

Is that dirt on the font on the top of the pedal or damage? A little bit put off by the condition and that you're asking for people to send money by F&F... That's usually banned on most sites as it's how people get scammed. I see at least one person get scammed due to paying by F&F on Facebook per week.

Is it possible to switch existing patches this way? For example I want the first 9 patches to be the ones I use most often, and there are one or two (such as 32 and 43) that I would like to swap in for 4 and 7. Can I simply change the file names (so change 04 to 32 and 07 to 43 and vice versa for both) as you suggest and then 'write all'? Or is this only for adding new patches?

Thanks a lot!

I've got a Future Impact and it's great, but it would be great if I could put all the patches I use closer together. Anyone know if it's possible to move/swap/renumber the patches?

Thanks for the suggestions so far think I might go to a shop and try a multiplexer out, if it's not what I need, then I'll wait and get a Foxrox Octron 3 or a Mutron Octavider. Shame neither is sold in the Uk though ha

Yeah no problem! Thanks again Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out

Thanks for the suggestions! To be honest, I'm just looking for a general octaver at this point, the OC2 does what it does and has that smooth mid range sound, but I'm just looking for something perhaps a bit different to the OC2, maybe more 'standard octaver' if that makes sense? I had a Foxrox Octron which had a really nice Octave down. A bit fatter than the OC2, super clean and tracked well. Also had a distorted octave up which had its uses (but not a necessity). I might consider getting one of those again.. It's a bit silly but I'm picky with colour schemes on my board ha, most of it is black/silver/white so I'm trying to find something that will not only sound right but look right.

Looking into getting a new octave pedal as the direct signal on my OC2 has gone and the Octave 1 often doesn't cut through by itself. Ideally I'd get a MuTron Octavider but I'm looking at cheaper models for the time being. Has anyone had any experience with the Octave Multiplexer? Any good/bad feedback? I just need a simple octaver really

Haha not at all! I just thought this example of the Boss OC2 clone looked cool!

Yeah sounds like a good idea, doing it myself wasn't something I was seriously considering, but was still interested in whether it would be a big job or not. Thanks for the advice and info!

I used to run my compressor everything, including my OC2, but I've just started running the compressor after it as the OC2 can be quite quiet, so the compressor helps bring it up to the same volume as my clean tone. Something to consider for anyone else having a similar issue with the OC2.

So I've seen a few really cool pedal rehousing jobs done in the US recently and I was wondering if anyone knows of where to get this kind of thing done in the UK? Alternatively, is this kinda possible as a home project for a beginner such as myself? Links to parts or kits would be great. Example: This is an example of someone rehousing a Boss OC2. In this case they've removed the second octave. (source: https://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Other-Pedals.html )

Selling a SansAmp for £50?! that's crazy haha, they go for like £140... Why not make an easy profit if you only paid £50?The mind boggles.
