  1. I don't think that's really what anybody said. A few people have simply noted that the preset switching seems to be a weaker aspect of the pedal. Not a showstopper by any means.
  2. Oh yeah absolutely - the simplicity of the MXR is a plus for me personally. Not tried the C4 but I've had a Future Impact for years and really like all the deep diving you can do, however the immediacy of the MXR is really cool. I loved the EHX Micro Synth for the same sort of reason.
  3. It's just another thing to buy and make room for. The solution I outlined would work better for me.
  4. That's my only gripe at the moment too, I may get one to 'set and forget' for a more generic synth sound, and then use my Future Impact to able scroll through more specific sounds easily.
  5. Would love to hear your initial opinions or maybe even a comparison with the FI, C4, EHX Micro synth, if you have any
  6. Multiple C4 synths up for sale this morning, eyes are on the MXR synth, I'm assuming!!

      I noticed this too 😅 not just C4s too!  Give it a month or so and there'll be a smattering of MXRs ;)

      I'm not selling my C4

      Might sell my FI though

      This man went one better.  No wonder he looks so smug.

  7. Oh right you are... I'm not sure why I remember having to relocate them from elsewhere when updating the firmware hmm... My mistake! And yes it's easy enough to tinker with, my FI hasn't left my board in 6 years of owning, shows how much I really love what it does! My 1 minor gripe has always been on the topic of useable stock sounds, and so I really love that the MXR has gone for a bunch of classic, useable synth sounds straight out of the box
  8. Because those kinda sounds should be the default on the FI 😉 I was sad that the 3.6 firmware update (most recent one I've bothered with) removed the original Deep Impact emulations from the default 99 patches and mostly consisted of tech demoes that weren't so useable. I think I've replaced basically every default patch with one of my own or one from the database. You're basically forced to use the editor to replace all the crazy 'out-there' sounds with simple useable bass sounds, whereas the new MXR has foregone all the ''look what I can do'' type patches for the most desirable, useable synth bass sounds! In my opinon, that's the only critique I have of the FI - more simple, useable stock sounds necessary
  9. Oooh I've been considering rebuying an EHX micro synth for quick flexibility but this seems like it can get the same filtered tones without the huge size (I dont care to use the micro synth as a fuzz-like effect with open filters like many others. The filter section is where the magic is for me.)
  10. These are underrated! The low and high controls are super handy on bass 👌
  11. Another price drop to the Micro Amp+! Open to offers.
  12. Oldish comment but this is interesting, as Janek has also said the opposite in a recent board build haha - how he used to use delay for solos etc but switched to reverb as he doesn't have to get the tempo right etc. He has both reverb and delay on his board at the moment
  13. Big love for the 40 year old OC2!
  14. Thought I'd add to this thread Just sold a Tone Hammer to @Adolfhipster Roger, in the process I accidentally sent him money via PayPal instead of requesting it. 🤦‍♂️ He returned the money instantly without issue. We then proceeded with the sale. Trustworthy guy
  15. Priced for a quick sale. Classic preamp pedal built like a tank. A few scuffs here and there, a small crack in the Engage LED casing, slight damage to the Gain knob, but in great condition otherwise and fully working. Price includes postage. I also have an MXR Micro Amp + and a Crowther Prunes & Custard for sale here and.. A Strymon El Capistan v1 for sale here Would be interested in trades/part exchanges for: RNDI-M Dunlop Mini Volume Origin Cali76 Bass Compressor (new model)

  16. WITHDRAWN DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST Was £200, now £170 I bought a bunch of pedals recently, clearing a few that aren't getting enough love. Strymon's El Capistan is probably my favourite delay, digitally emulating the sound of tape echo units. In the same very good condition that I received it in - comes with a Bright Onion favourite switch to recall a preset. No original box but will be securely packaged. Price includes postage. I also have an MXR Micro Amp + and a Crowther Prunes & Custard for sale here Would be interested in trades/part exchanges for: Origin Cali76 Bass Compressor (new model) MXR 10-band EQ (silver)
  17. BUMP - £10 Off both pedals
  18. Generally I've found that the sound breaks up more as the bias is turned to the right. I need to spend more time with it to see if that's always the case
  19. (Prunes and Custard no longer available) MXR Micro Amp +: £110 £80 Handy as a boost, EQ balancing between instruments, bringing out or taming certain frequencies. No original box but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage.
  20. In Pentode mode, it's much easier to get full-on overdriven/distorted sounds at lower volumes/drive levels. So I have been generally keeping in Triode mode for cleaner/ever so slightly broken up sounds.
