No, currently the FI is hooked up to a PWT12 Palmer Power Bar, which is giving 12v to an OC2, 18v to a Cali compact bass, 9v to tuner and 9v to FI. Unfortunately this is the only power supply I have available at the moment.
-
Yes. The pedal tells me the firmware is now 3.60, and I have extracted the patches from the FI to check that they are the default ones loaded.
-
Are you able to explain this please? I tried checking the manual but it does not explain what CC2 is, only how it can be used. EDIT: I've read a little bit into what CC2 is, I still don't know how I would have sent CC2 though. My issues are still persisting after updating firmware, replacing my patches with the stock ones, and updating editor. Still getting a glitchy message (albeit slightly different from the one earlier) after 3.60 displays, after this, the display acts as normal but no VCF output. I'm quite worried that I've accidentally bricked the pedal.... I discovered the graphic EQ thing by accident, wish I hadn't lol..
-
I'm going to try your suggestions above later this evening. Hoping updating will fix the issue, we'll see.
-
Not sure, will refer to manual to see how to check this. Yes, only sending clean + effects (chorus etc). All patches having this issue. No recent updates, I updated to v3 as soon as it became available, well over a year ago now. I have not had any issues with the pedal all day (or ever), even after updating my patches. The pedal was working fine earlier when I messaged about the phaser notches etc. I've just turned everything on again and only the FI is having any issues. I've checked cables, power supply etc. it's giving me this interesting message on startup though.. Not sure if that helps.
-
Now the pedal isn't producing any VCF signal.. only clean. No idea what the issue is.
-
That's a good idea, I'm going to do the same and try some things out. For reference, I'm trying to make a patch for 'Another Man - Barbara Mason'
-
I'm sure I'll get my head round it, I'm still trying to figure out the best placement/distance of each Flexi for the effect I want, but I'm getting some cool sounds and having fun along the way if you have any suggestions for notch placement/depth etc I'm all ears! I'm not sure of ideal freq to notch. I'm currently notching around 200 and 800. It sounds good, if not slightly muffled, but has a really nice warmth to it. Ok I'll try to avoid doing this then. Thanks again for the help, much appreciated as always.
-
Thanks for the advice. The reason I assumed you should be able switch between the views is because at the end of the "FI as Phaser" section it says "Experiment with the frequency and shape of the LFO and with the depth, width and spacing of the notches." and so I was then confused when I could not access said notches to change them.
-
Thanks for the reply. I've found a way to access the graphic panel though, go to another patch and bring up the graphic panel then switch back to the patch with Flexi controllers on the slider view, you'll have access to the graphic view again.
-
Hey! I managed to get a phaser effect on one of my patches after following the manual's instructions on how to set it up using Flexi controllers to sweep the mids on the slider EQ panel, however once they're set up, I am stuck on the slider panel and cannot switch over to the graphic EQ panel to adjust the notches etc. If I switch to other patches, I am able to go between the two EQ views, but not on the patch with the phaser effect set up. Any idea what might be causing this issue?

Always been a big fan of having a preamp pedal somewhere in my signal path, even with active basses, and often in differing positions. After a big pedal clearout, I'm left with an Aguilar Tone Hammer and a Darkglass Vintage Deluxe. Usually I'll run the Tone Hammer at the end of my chain for an overall tone control before going out. Does anyone use theirs solely as a drive? With the gain past noon and the AGS engaged it can get pretty hairy. I've also seen some players run their TH at the start of the chain, I suppose to control their clean tone precisely before it hits the effects in the chain. I'm finding myself seeing a use for mine diminishing though. With the Vintage Deluxe, I'll almost always use that as a low-gain drive or to get a boost in the high mids, it's a bit too bright and lacks warmth I want for it to be a general preamp for me personally. How do you use your preamp(s), and where do you put them in your chain? Interested to hear other people's setups -
Yeah that’s all correct. I have the Version 1 model and you can just update the firmware etc PLUS the sticker is way nicer than the V3, imo

SOLD ELSEWHERE -
All these years I thought that Sterling was a budget line from Musicman, like Sub.. rather than a model of bass...
-
I'm aware of all this, but as you say it's all relative to how the patch is set up, and that is the issue. Just hard to make precise changes on the fly without whipping out the laptop..
-
I have this issue quite a lot, especially when changing room/amp set up. Patches that I thought were balanced are either too loud, lacking in a certain freq range and it can be hard to tweak those aspects on the fly. Amazing pedal but would be completed with dedicated Bass, Mid, Treble and Dry dials I think (space would be an issue I suppose)
-
Only just found this thread, this is really cool! Had no idea the pedal was so empty lol... Out of interest, do you send the housings out for people to rehouse the innards themselves/through a tech?
-
BUMP! Need to clear space. Open to offers

Really solid rack case I've been using to house an Ashdown rack mount head. Only selling as no longer in use. Dimensions (Internal): 445 x 97mm Cutout: 2U Material Thickness: 5mm Dimensions: 626 x 515 x 115mm Weight: 6kg Detachable front and back SOLD
-
Bit of a long shot but, I'm having trouble finding a 2u rack case that'll snugly fit my Ashdown ABM head. For years I've been using a case that's way too deep and looks a bit silly. I found a head for sale on eBay which is identical to mine in ideal casing, but I can't seem to find which make/model the case is (I have messaged seller but no luck yet). I've done a lot of searching for "shallow 2u rack case" but none seem as tidy as this one. NOT MY PICS If you know any similar cases, let me know
-
Yeah that's crazy. I found a guy in Italy selling them for £150 (before postage) And thanks for the link, I've heard of Zilla, didn't know they did this kind of thing though
-
Music shops near London that sell speaker cables (not the bigger ones, the ones with tips like instrument cables)? Neither BassGallery or any Denmark Street shops have any listed. Andertons do, but its a bit further out
(Can't call anywhere as my phone is out of action until tomorrow)

Today I saw Gator do a 2u rack case that's in the style of amp casing. I found this through their site: https://www.gatorcases.com/products/racks-portable/designer-rack-cases/retro-rack/50s-amp-style-rack-case-2u-black-gr-retrorack-2bk/ Something like this would be ideal for one of my amps, however I can't seem to see them for sale anywhere and can't find their official UK dealers. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or something like this??

Is anywhere doing pedal repairs at the moment? The person I've used previously isn't responding to emails.
