New MXR bass synth pedal released

[GisserD]

This long after launch i assume MXR are deliberately causing delays to maintain the hype on what is after all a very niche pedal. Just my 2c

You've got a very good ear, Darren, did you come to a conclusion?

About the pedals no. 

Although the only one that interests me is the FI for its superior tracking. Just ask Q

The guy just comes across as a click farmer imho.

+100 

 

I just wish someone else was making video clips of the FI4!

I'd agree, but the Oc-5 was the exact same, and I don't really think that was Boss attempting to hype.

More likely they’re making them in batches and not rushing ‘all hands on deck’ to this one unit over their normal production schedules. I mean they should but…

Or rather than a trickle every month - save them up in one big bash for Christmas…

Now you’re talking.

I’m not aware that MXR/Dunlop own their own production facilities, although even if they do, it’s not really likely that a company would dime their capabilities in order to fulfill backorders, they’ll ramp up production slowly so they can find a sweet-spot between supply and demand. You don’t want more stock than you need, especially on a niche product, because stopping and then starting (again) production is not a simple task.

It seemed their manufacturing just couldn’t keep up with the demand. It’s been a big hit.

Got mine yesterday. Had a play this morning and echo a lot of the above. This is perfect for those of us who might need a synth sound for two or three numbers up in a set. The presets are fab and there’s more than enough settings to tweak. It’s a lot of fun! Tracking is good enough and I hope better when I get it on the board with a compressor. Mr Martin Allison must have amazing technique or there’s some editing in the vids! All in all a very good bit of kit that really does provide the synthiness I need.
