    If I were to characterise the DHA, it’d be an extra large Chicago style pizza pie (with extra toppings!).

    PM'd - I'd like to have a play with one of these.

    It's a hybrid angled bridge/straight frets design.
  4. prowla
    You can't get workmanship like that just anywhere y'know! And the angled body is a much sought-after feature.

    'Closet Classic' has to be one of the lamest designations of an instrument ever!
  6. prowla
    Is it an "Original" series one, as opposed to originally made in the 50s?

    I'm not sure they know how to use a ruler, either.

    It's old(ish) and rare, so it must be worth a packet!

    Shotgun Future Impact!

    I've got a great Tom Sawyer growl on an old Roland SH-32. I've never heard close on anything else. (Did I spot a plus for the C4 there?) It also occurs to me that getting the sound on a bass triggered pedal is fine, but then you can't play it along with the bass track itself; you have to go for MIDI pedals to be able to do it.

    Well, I've just read this necrothread...

    At least the screw heads don't look mashed!

    I'm still seeing he thread flagged in my notifications, so I guess I'm OK as the originator.

    Has there been water near it?

    I hear he strings his B E A D.

    Wow - look at the seller's Other Items too... It looks like they rate their refin skills at £1k-2k per instrument.

    "Complete with Free Hardcase at the Full Asking Price!!!"

    Well; v3 was just a software upgrade, which could also be applied to the v1 to make it identical bar the graphic of the case overlay. So, whilst acknowledging that the word "just" there trivialises the effort which has gone into producing that software, it's debatable whether it was a total product new version. Had it, for example, included changing the case to a double-MXR size unit (EH "9" units, TC Ditto x2, etc.), it would've been a significant usability upgrade too. Maybe the next version...
  20. prowla
    I think the form factor of the EH “9” products is about what it should be. The C4 layout is pretty much an acknowledgement that you can’t control a synth on the surface of a pedal, so it’s scaled back rather than trying to overdo it.

    Thanks, I stand corrected on price; I took the prices from online prices listed via a Google search as going to the FI page I couldn't tell if Panda's €300 was inclusive or exclusive of UK VAT, but on second look the Panda storefront says prices include tax. One gripe of mine is that the FI is an awkward size and a lot of the inside is empty space; it can be re-housed in a Future Compact case however: i. the push control knob is sort of in the way then, and ii. it (of course) costs extra money to buy one. It would've been handy if you'd said they're pretty much the same - flip a coin, but perhaps the technical differences do make a difference, or perhaps they aren't so important for shaping/generating sounds in the bass guitar context?

    Has anybody compared the Panda Future Impact side-by-side against the Source Audio C4? The C4 seems to have the technical edge, but is that right? From a physical perspective, the C4 is more pedalboard-friendly, though you can spend another chunk of money on a smaller conversion box to re-house the FI to part-mitigate against that. The C4''s MIDI input is USB, which limits the choice of external standalone MIDI controllers. OTOH, the FI has a 5-pin DIN MIDI, but it is pernickety about what you can connect to it (both computer-FI and standalone controllers). The the C4 sells at approx £220 whereas FI is 50% more, at ~ £330. Any thoughts?

    But missed by the 2nd post... 🙂
