Collaboration Devices Compressor - *SOLD*
AinsleyWalker replied to Squib's topic in Effects For Sale

So I had an idea, just wondering if anyone knows if it'll work as expected... I'm considering running a stereo DI box to send 2 Mono signals - 1 Dry signal at the start of my chain, 1 Wet signal at the end of my chain. The reasoning is that it would be more convenient than having 2 separate DIs. DIs like the Walrus Canvas have 2 Thrus, so this might be possible... Planned signal chain: Tuner > DI Left In (DRY XLR out) > Out of Left Thru > other pedals > back to DI Right In (WET XLR out) > Out of Right Thru > amp. Let me know if you have any thoughts/if you do something similar! Fairly certain this should work as I'm imagining, but not sure how to really test.

Fuzz - Malekko Diabolik vs Amptweaker TightFuzz Bass JR, opinions?
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Effects
Makes sense, hear that's the case for a lot of fuzzes. Though the only person I've seen running a Diabolik (Dishan Abrahams) on their board had it last (see switcher)! -

AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Effects
Thanks for the feedback! Makes sense to me, my main concern with the Diabolik was to do with the lack of control available. Apart from the Squish, there isn't much you can do to tweak. The Amptweaker seems to offer a lot more flexibility in a similar footprint. The EHX Sovtek Deluxe big muff looks decent, just a bit big for my current setup unfortunately! -
I'll look into that later on, thanks for the tip. In the end I just manually uploaded all 99 😭 From now on I might just upload 1 patch at a time to be safe. If I try all 99 and it glitches again, I'll be back to square one.

Problem still persisting even after resetting firmware sigh... Uninstalled the Editor/Manager and reinstalled. Still happening. I can however upload patches successfully 1 at a time... So I am not sure what's causing it to bug out when I try to upload the full 99.

I tried both. I originally tried uploading all patches, then highlighted all 99 and tried that. Same issue happened. No patches have those symbols, the only changes I made to the 99 in manager was add the original 9 DI Emulations from the Directory, so they should not be causing any issues. I am uploading via manager yes. I am uploading from the tiles, which are saved in a folder on my desktop. (I make backups whenever I make any big changes. Both cables are input. I was successfully able to upload files as normal until I added some patches from the Directory. Now I cannot successfully upload from Manager at all, regardless of patches. Maybe it's time for another factory reset 😒

Hey When trying to 'Upload to FI', it's skipping from patch 1 to patch 22, then works down the column, 32, 42, 52, and errors once it reaches 92. Most of the patches are there in the pedal, but not in the right order.. Very strange. I thought it must be the new patches I was trying to upload, so I loaded up a batch of backup patches that were uploading fine this morning, but the same issue is happening. Seen this issue before @Quatschmacher? Cheers

2x10 Cab recommendations to match a 500w head
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
Yes to be honest. I've got 1x10 combos/tried 1x10 cabs, too boxy, not deep enough. I had a 4x10 but it just took up too much space and was overkill. I got hold of a very reasonably priced Ashdown 2x10 yesterday and it gives me a pretty close representation of what I can hear from the DI of amp, which is exactly what I wanted. My 1x10 doesn't manage this at all unfortunately and gives a totally different sound. I can also quite easily use this rig for smaller gigs too, but it perfectly fits under my desk (upright) so if it never leaves the house that's also fine! Thanks for the reply! -

Just read that they come in random colours and you can't pick, that's quite funny (also bit disappointing) -
2x10 Cab recommendations to match a 500w head
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
Makes sense, that's what they suggest as a good starting point on their FAQs. Might have to give one a try, sounds like a very useful bit of kit. Thanks for the tip -

Nice, where are you using that in your chain? Reading the FAQ's on their site now. -

@Merton thanks very much! I'll have a look -
2x10 Cab recommendations to match a 500w head
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
<£300 if possible, Thanks for the info, it will be played at low-ish bedroom volumes so maybe I won't need something with a rating to match then -
I'm running my Ashdown EvoII 500 as my recording head on my desk at home I sold my 4x10 recently and would like to replace it with a 2x10 that could go under my desk, solely for practicing really. The amp is rated at: 500w RMS/1000w peak, 4ohms on speaker outs. Any suggestions for a good 2x10 cab to match? Had a little look around and I'm not seeing many options above around 350w. EDIT: I picked up a very reasonably priced Ashdown 2x10 cab yesterday, it does exactly what I wanted it to! Thanks for all the tips and responses

Good old Chocs, great power supplies

Definitely use the manual! I spent the first year of owning my FI V1 just fiddling with presets and asking questions in here.. but as QM rightfully said to me previously, the manual has it all. Also be sure to check out the patch directory through the editor/manager software. Some great sounds made by QM and other users.

I've got a Vintage Ultra at the end of my chain currently, has anyone used the DI live/in the studio? Thoughts?? I've noticed at home it seems to be quite a hot output. Considering getting a passive DI like the Walrus Canvas Mono but not sure it's really necessary.
