bnt Posted Friday at 14:56 Posted Friday at 14:56 My latest pedal ... is not a pedal at all. I just took delivery of an early Christmas present to myself: an Elektron Tonverk. This is a sample-based workstation / groovebox / effects system, and the effects are most relevant here. You can feed a live audio signal through it, via analogue inputs or USB-C, and apply loads of effects to it. The effects are under full sequencer control, not only in the choice of effect per pattern, but also all the parameters, which can be modified down to the note if that's what you want. The effects aren't specific to any instrument but are pretty powerful, and include the expected (compressor, EQs (graphic, synth-style or parametric), modulation effects) and some odd ones (grain-based pitch shifting, "dirtshaper" overdrive/distortion, and some complex delays and reverbs. I'm still at work (?) and don't have any other gear here, so a full test will have to wait until the weekend. 1 Quote
2pods Posted Saturday at 16:45 Posted Saturday at 16:45 (edited) I've had it since Tuesday. Unbelievably, I've only just had the chance to give it a brief go this afternoon. Haven't tried any Bass patches yet (I'll try them tomorrow when I have a bit more time), but the guitar patches are superb. Patch 1B "Double Double" (2 Fender Twins in stereo, with really nice reverb) is brilliant. I've had a Helix Floor, Stomp, and HX Rack but I definitely think the Agoura amps are an improvement. For some reason some FX sound more "sparkly" if you get what I mean, even though Line6 said there have been no improvements to them (yet !) Edited Saturday at 22:12 by 2pods 3 Quote
Paddy777 Posted Saturday at 17:06 Posted Saturday at 17:06 (edited) Is there any new bass amps/what are they? I’m interested to know how much better the Agoura amps really are and how much is the Emperor’s New Clothes! I suppose the real difference will be noticed when through a proper PA at volume, that screen looks nice! Edited Saturday at 17:08 by Paddy777 1 Quote
pantherairsoft Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago One of my greatest regrets was selling my MP-201 some ten years back. Finally, I got my hands on another. Mint condition. Christmas came early. 3 Quote
