I only got the code emailed late last night and shared it immediately.

A lot of pedal for not much money. -
For anyone thinking of buying one from Music Store, now’s a good time as they have an 8% promo code until the 8th: GB-8MSA FI4 VIP plus the CV cable for £291.82 delivered (£280.60 without the cable).

An excellent 6/12-stage phaser, being a clone of the revered Moogerfooger 103. I’ve just received a brand new exemplar from Andertons today as a replacement for one I bought a few months ago that had a loose connection. I’m on a drive to raise money due to unemployment so don’t even want to put this on my board. As yet I haven’t even opened it. I’m happy to leave it unopened or to open to test and photograph for the buyer (once payment is received) if desired. Price includes recorded UK postage. Stock photo for illustrative purposes.-

This shows some of what it can do: -
The FI is an actual synth and its VA engine can be played from a keyboard. True, it doesn’t have anywhere near all its parameters accessible from the panel, but is very much a fully-featured mono synth as far as its sound-creation capabilities are concerned. I pitted it against my Subsequent 37 in a blind audio test and most people could not tell which was which.
-
The 4 is a significant upgrade over the 3.
-
Yes, there is now the ability to copy/swap patches (at least within the VA engine) directly on the pedal. The factory patches are now built into the firmware file and can be reset directly on the pedal. As for onboard sound parameter adjustments, these are as in previous versions with access to 9 common parameters with full adjustment range. (I had hoped to persuade the team to implement a secondary layer of adjustments to take it to 18 but they didn’t go for it. We actually looked at full onboard parameter adjustment but it would have required either a cheat sheet for numerical entries or fairly cryptic 3-digit names and sub menus. The complexity of adjusting flexis via such a menu was what caused András to demur.)
-
I’d still like to give one of these MXRs a spin but I’m on a self-imposed buying ban, at least until I’ve shifted some of the gear I have listed. No need for an editor for most stuff with the forthcoming FI4 update as it adds onboard patch management features. Also now sports a DX7 FM engine too for all those classic 80s sounds.

Final reduction to £399 posted. Remember, this includes 3 tubes too. -

Future Impact V4 or V4 VIP would allow you to trigger the synth oscillators using your bass.
-
Argh, I just accidentally lost the best FM bass patch I’ve created so far. Dexed always defaults to slot 1 when saving and I clicked too hastily. So annoyed.

You already ask that earlier in the thread and I answered:

Definitely go via music store as you won’t get any nasty tax surprises.
