[quote name='Al Heeley' post='848397' date='May 26 2010, 12:33 PM']i'm also not a fan of this unboxing nonsense. If you're going to post a lot of pics of a cardboard box, sticjer, velcro pads and the underside of the pedal, do they really have to be so damned huge? Little 400 px sq would have been sufficient really. Then all the pics could just go on one page. Review - good stuff (bought one now I think they are the coolest tuner ever) but with all these pics I cannot believe you have not posted a few showing the most important part, the various display modes![/quote] The pictures are small on my page, no idea why they would be any bigger on anyone elses. Also, this is just the size that photobucket has made them in any case. My sincerest apologies to all for this 'nonsense', I was pleasantly surprised at the attention to detail of TC Electronic in this case and would be more likely to purchase from them in the future because of this, but was obviously wrong in thinking that other people would be interested. I will remove the offending content. EDIT: Sorted, hope this is more to everyones liking.

The fact that it's a pedal originally intended for guitar should make no difference in terms of it popping when you engage it, so that won't be the problem. It could be due to the power supply I suppose, could also be due to the switch in the pedal, which I would imagine is not of the highest quality.

That's odd. The attack delay should just introduce a delayed volume swell, as you would expect, not a volume drop. I would be tempted to say just take the pedal back to the shop and get it replaced, sounds like there's something that's gone wrong with it. EDIT: Woah, hang on a second. Have just read your post over on TB as well. You do realise what an attack delay does don't you? It will put a delay on the note sounding, so in other words if you play fast with the slider up you may encounter the problem you're describing through no fault with the pedal. Try playing a single held note, and moving the slider about, it should become obvious what it is that it's actually doing. Then you'll be able to tell whether something is wrong with it or not.

Yeah I don't understand that complaint that people make that you can still only tune one string at a time because it's not really true. Normally when I tune I'm just checking that the bass has held it's tuning after moving or a change in temperature and there will be only 1 string, if any, that needs an adjustment, but in order to find out with other tuners you would still have to play each string individually which certainly takes way longer

-OFFENDING CONTENT REMOVED- SOUND: When everything is cranked small noise when engaging, no real issue. [u][b]9.9[/b][/u] FEATURES: Works for guitar and 4/5/6 string bass. Automatic polyphonic mode. Needle or strobe. Also drop tuning. Battery or 9V (with 9V out). [b][u]10[/u][/b] RELIABILITY:No issues so far. Small buttons flimsy? No experience of customer support. [u][b]9.8[/b][/u] EASE OF USE: Couldn't be easier. Seriously. [u][b]10[/b][/u] OVERALL: Nothing's perfect. See above issues. [u][b]9.8[/b][/u] Cheers.

Pray tell?

Ok cool, you're welcome mate.

There's a little database sort of thing of settings somewhere, for the Zoom B2, but obviously exactly transferrable to the B2.1U. I'll post a link if I can find it. EDIT: [url="http://www.haax.se/basspatches/manualsite/index.php?unit=B2"]Here[/url] we go. There's one for 'Time is Running Out' on there as it happens.

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='838576' date='May 16 2010, 01:17 AM']I make them for myself then I find friends, fellow guitarists or bassists, who want to use them or even occasionally buy one which helps fund the next build and the next evolution. Most of the guys I play music with end up having one sitting on their pedal board. I think I've come to the end of the road for tubescreamer tweakability now so I'm going to have a go at a small clone chorus, since I'm pretty unimpressed with my Boss CEB3.[/quote] Great work. Maybe look at putting this 'ultimate TS' pedal on the market, I'd imagine there would be a lot of interest from certain people (myself included) due to the sheer range of options. Added to that the fact that it's a very clean and professional looking build. Hypothetically, what do you think you would have to charge for one of these to make it worth your while?

Very impressive, sounds like countless hours of tweeking available! Lovely finish too, both inside and out. Do you build these just for yourself, or sell them, Al?

Just to chuck my 2 cents in: Recently ordered a power supply from these guys, VERY reasonably priced, more than enough power to go around for my pedals, and, as advertised, adds absolutely NO noise whatsoever to my signal chain. Also delivered very quickly, and well packaged, etc. Was surprised to find a solution to pedal-powering as easily and cheaply, but still with the quality, as I was able to with these guys, and wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again in the future. So there we go

Yeah don't use the headphones. Don't play too close to your amp, ever. I keep my amp under my desk, and that's where I used to play until recently, when I pointed the amp into the centre of the room and moved myself to the other side, and the difference was unbelievable. You can only appreciate the tone etc. with the amp pointing in your direction at a distance, that's the only way to get a true feel of the sound, otherwise it's just passing you by (literally). So dial in these presets, and then tailor them to your liking judging by what you hear with your own ears, but make sure you're properly positioned to hear what it is that's actually going on. Likewise don't use the headphones as this is far from a true representation of the sound that you will actually be getting out of the amp, and that's the most important thing at the end of the day. The obvious exception being if you're recording, but that's a different kettle of fish altogether. Hope this was at least slightly helpful.
