bnt Posted December 5 Posted December 5 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 December 6 Posted December 6 (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 December 6 by 2pods 3 Quote
Paddy777 Posted December 6 Posted December 6 (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 December 6 by Paddy777 1 Quote
pantherairsoft Posted Wednesday at 16:56 Posted Wednesday at 16:56 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. 12 Quote

I actually has IE make a custom Xero for me that would work with it. Now though, load software pedals play nice. All but one pedal I'd love to use this with have CV functionality built in. it's a bit win. Quote
