GazWills Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 good job! I've never used a DI, and the comparison video did absolutely nothing for me, but some of the sounds you have got out of that FI, it sounds pretty damn good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I like it a lot. When can I buy it? How much will it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) officially in january 2016...so about one month from now :-) price is: 314 euro without vat. around 25 euro shipping. add your local taxes to that. price with vat is 399 euro.

Kev Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Yikes. I won't be buying one at that price I don't think (i thought I read $300 somewhere?), too much of a risk for something that is still basically a big question mark, but interested at how others get on.

[/color][color=#141414]:-)[/color] [/quote] This is absolutely amazing. Huge sound pallet and everything seems to work together perfectly. This probably blows all of the other options for bass synth right out of the water AFAICT. Any chance you'll be sharing these presets?

Kev Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Well, primarily there have been many pedals issued that sound excellent in demo's but when coming to play just don't have the same 'vibe' and simplicity as a Deep Impact. This does sound more like it, and the original developer is involved, however until I have tried one in the flesh it is difficult, particularly when this appears to be the first pedal Panda Audio have actually released. At a £300 price point, it is a huge risk for the buyer and I was really hoping for something much more competitive. The last of the Deep Impacts were selling at clearance for around £89 as I recall. Digitech re-released the Bass Whammy at a great price point (very similar vintage appeal/price to Deep Impact), its sold well and killed the vintage Bass Whammy prices. I don't think this will kill the Deep Impact off, unless it really is as good as you describe. What would have perhaps been a great idea is to sell the first XX number at a lower price so you have a few of the pedals out there to be reviewed by DI users, which would really help drive up the interest and willingess to spend big bucks. I have not listened to your demo yet, it may change my mind Edited December 4, 2015 by Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 sure, most of them will be programmed in when shipped. there will also be a forum on the panda audio site where everybody can share presets. i will upload them there as well.

lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 also with the digitech bass whammy you just get a pedal with pre-programmed sounds. here you can edit every parameter, save 99 presets, play it with a keyboard (as a monophonic synth) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy-stu Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Very interested.... but still a bit pricey for me, as I'd only use a few sounds.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sounds interesting... How would you say the tracking compares to the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 i have only played the original once on a stage. i would say it is at least as good probably more robust. tracking also depends a little on the sounds you program. the sounds on the d.i. all have some clean blended in which masks some glitches. the sounds i recorded are mostly without clean blend, so that is the worst tracking you can get... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfFrink Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think the price is about right for a boutique pedal which puts out a pretty impressive and unique sound pallet and that has no real competition. Boss is selling their SY-300 for a lot more, and I haven't heard anything remotely similar coming out of it in any demo. Yes there are some unknowns regarding production quality and availability, but these will hopefully be out of the way after the first few batches. lokki - Do you know if this is a "limited run", or generally how they plan to make it available after the first release?

Must have been some outlay for him to set this up! Are you sure that it isn't a larger company that builds these, or at least the enclosures, for him? In that case, any idea how many he is able to make? There will no doubt be plenty ordering this as soon as it is available (perhaps more on TB than here), has he discussed delivery times e.t.c. yet?

lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 this will sure be released on demand. andras (the dev) makes the first 100. if he can sell them, he will make more, don't worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokki Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 well the enclosures were drawn and planned by him, i don't think he melted the aluminium on it's own :-) but, still getting only 100 enclosures from a melting company costs much more then 10000 or so. it's actually hard to guess the market i think. bass synth pedals are a niche. bass playing is already a niche :-) but i also think this pedal should sell like crazy!!!

ped Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sounds interesting. I'm an avid V-Bass user and just about to upgrade to the VB99 so this should be a pretty synthy time in my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
