No mate, I meant it's absolutely an opinion 😂 I was agreeing with your statement.... Having a rough morning? "and the "I'd say" confirms it as opinion." No it doesn't, it means that it's the truth as far as my knowledge extends. I am a fallible human with a limited brain capacity, after all. Please feel free to educate me and tell my why I'm wrong instead of being facetious ☺️

Which part, the last sentence? Absolutely! The part about the application of pickguards? I'd say that's accurate

On an acoustic instrument where you need to strum for volume, I can understand a guard (but I'd prefer not to have one) but on electric basses they have been almost solely cosmetic (Jazz bass) or to hide routing (P bass). Some look OK, others look tacky.

Pickguards in general tbh. Let's take this lovely piece of wood and stick a random bit of horrible plastic on... Especially Stingray/round Musicman ones (see my profile pic...) why would I want an expensive instrument to resemble a toilet seat...

I think this is a good point. A lot of Walrus pedals are fine, but they don't have the history of being a particularly 'premium' brand so this seems a big jump. Brands who start off with some of their most expensive gear, and gradually bring the ranges down in price (thinking about Origin for example, going from expensive big box Cali to more affordable compact versions) seem to succeed/get away with premium pricing more than brands who start off as a pretty affordable/generic option and then try and hit the higher price ranges. They often end up alienating their audience/fanbase.

1) People who post 'collection-only' pedal listings online 🥴 This isn't the noticeboard on your local village green... Sending a pedal via post isn't hard. I've sent 3 this week... I wouldn't sell things anywhere near as quick as I do currently (generally less than a week turnaround) if I refused to arrange delivery. Just denying yourself a sale. 2) People who post very specific job-lots of individually expensive items and refuse to split 🥴 I can understand if the job-lot is cheap, but I've seen a few people post entire pedalboards totalling over £1000... What are the odds someone wants your exact setup lol? Why would you not just sell piecemeal and make the sales? Imagine if you went into a shop and they said sorry you can't buy this single Tshirt, you need to buy an entire pre-chosen wardrobe of clothes.... I genuinely think some people aren't bothered about making the sale, and just want to play shopkeeper on the internets.

Did you have to adjust the nut? I tried to restring a cheap Peavey I have lying around to BEAD and had to really work on the nut, file the grooves out a lot etc.

Or perhaps the upcoming Jad Freer device, looks like valve DI box

I know... I've just grown attached this guy, been on my board around 7 years now and does everything I need it to do. I've moaned about technical issues/headaches on here before, but I really do love it. Can I load on my current patches to a V4? Or will I need to start from scratch?

Yeah you're right there, I'm a fan of every aspect of the pedal, just need to build some solid patches to suit my needs. And yeah in terms of tracking, I have definitely found a lot of patches have a certain sweet spot on the fretboard. I think my Future Impact will stay as the digital jack of all trades synth, quick access and adjustibility, and then the Squeezer can serve a very specific role playing to its strengths 👍🏼 rather than trying to get it to cover as much ground

So, I bought Kev's Squeezer, and it's great! Not quite as difficult to use as I had heard, I was expecting far far worse. So far I've factory reset it and just been tweaking existing standard patches, learning the menus etc. There's a few presets like Double Chin that can be tweaked to be something quite useable, but unfortunately there's only like 5 sounds that are worth using. I plan to download some of the sounds from the cgraham site which has a bunch of simple useable sample sounds etc, but I need an SD card reader. My main takeaway from using this for a few days is how much I love the Future Impact. Way better tracking, way easier to dial simple usable sounds on the fly, and has a global master volume!!! Pretty annoying having to turn down the volume on single patches, or having to enable 'all params' via the Squeezers menu just to turn down the clean blend volume on any patches - why are the Paul Turner patches so loud for example lmao? The clean blend is boosted so much. Volume jumps across default patches is a problem in general, tbh. I have spent years making lots of very useable/recognisable synth sounds on the Future Impact, so I'm sure in time I'll get the Squeezer to a more useable state but for now, it's a lot of squelchy fun! (Quick photo of my board last night, currently switching the Squeezer in/out for The Pill side chain compressor)

The Eventide stuff can definitely do things like that! Also check out the Meris Hedra perhaps

I'd really like to see a compact pedal in the same vein as the Moog Murf line which offers expression control over the 'mix', so you can add in LFO type effects via expression. Fatty from Submotion Orchestra does(or did) this with the big Moogerfooger, but something compact and available would be cool. Shame they didn't do a Minifooger Murf/LFO type pedal. I have the MF Chorus but only the rate can be controlled via expression, not the mix, otherwise I could potentially use it in a similar way.

Absolutely just confirming my experience with the amp

It happened in my house too though, no matter which room I tried. Even a hallway with no electronics. Using a high quality power cable and pedal power supply that does not introduce noise to my signal. High quality cables etc. I never have noise issues with any of my amps or when going direct. I believe there's a wiring issue in Osiris' amp, the DI always produced the same electrical hiss that comes out of the speaker when the master volume was turned up past 11/12. This happened regardless of whether anything is plugged into the amp. it's most likely an internal issue, not external.

Sorry to hear you're still having issues mate, hopefully you can sort because it is a lovely sounding amp
