    Just found a nice little feature buried in the MIDI map, which I think has been expanded since I last looked. There is an option for control 1 and 2 knob assign. This basically means I can use the MC8 buttons to assign parameters to the C4’s knobs in real time. @GisserD this might be the nail in the coffin of the Manta-twekabilty argument.

    The magnets also supply the current to the pedals and the requisite wiring is built into the base plates so it’s not quite as easy as just mounting the magnets directly to the pedals via longer screws.

    Sadly not mine. I can’t get on with the wider necks and musicman discontinued both the honeyburst finish and the slimmer SLO Special necks before I had the cash to order one. Sadly it looks like they aren’t coming back either so I’m still hoping to find a used one sometime. Oh, and yours is Cherry Sunburst. ((Black) Cherryburst is yet another MM colour entirely.) It’s bloody confusing. 😆

    Both Cherry Sunburst judging by those pictures. Also ties in with the OP’s database entry. honeyburst is darker like these:

    It looks a bit lighter in the photos so might actually be Cherry Sunburst rather than Honeyburst. It’s easier to tell in person.

    I don’t mean read it cover to cover necessarily but if you need to know something, chances are a quick look at the index or a keyword search in it will show you what you need to know.

    Switch “envelope mode” slider into one of the other two settings then you’ll have access to the sustain parameter - use this to keep the note playing (in case of vca) or the filter open (in case of vcf). Oh and read the manual. 😆(Particularly the section on envelopes.)

    It’s more the latter at present. (Though I did make a patch for “Who’s That Girl” for my friend, @SICbass the other night.) A few of my patches have been made to match particular tracks. (I see that my “Ain’t Nobody” patch is the most popular of all my downloaded patches by quite a margin.) There are a couple of reasons for this. I’m not sure if I’d be able to nail exactly the sounds people request. Often they are done in different synths so it’s not always possible to replicate them exactly. If people are paying money then they sometimes end up expecting a lot more than is humanly possible. (I had a guy on TB asking why he should be paying me $5 per month when he gets XYZ for $7 per month from the likes of Netflix, Amazon prime, etc.) Writing patches is something I’m (currently) doing alongside a full-time (non-music) job and it can take a considerable amount of time to get a patch just so. I’m happy to have a crack at certain patches and it’s a useful learning experience to analyse a sound and try to replicate it but I’d not be confident that I could deliver this regularly, in large quantities and to deadlines for people who have gigs impending. The other reason is that I’d like to spend some time getting a bit deeper into the mod matrix on the FI and exploring what I can achieve with it. It’s nice to be free to just see what happens. (Though sometimes having a specific thing to aim for can be a good thing as constraints can help sharpen focus but it’s also nice to have the space to explore the randomness.) Maybe put together a list of the sounds you’re after (with YouTube/Spotify links) and I’ll see if any interest me enough to want attempt to recreate them. There are quite a few existing patches which are pretty close already to famous sounds. There’s one of the original FI factory patches which is very close to “Living for the City” as it is, for example.

    Is this Honeyburst? VERY tempted. I sold my lovely (natural) Sterling the year before last when I needed cash and then it sold on again before I had the cash to buy it back. Honeyburst is the other EBMM finish I love. I’ve never seen a recessed neck without the bridge with mutes before.

    A few new sounds for today:

    Just to clarify, these are my FREE patches. I have others only available to my patrons via https://www.patreon.com/Quatschmacher

    Thanks!

    I concur - the red witch octaves are one of the nicest sounding and best-tracking octavers I have played.

    I've collated all the v3 files I've released into a single folder (in addition to the individually uploaded files) so that users can download all my patches with a single click. I'll add to the folder in the future and newly added files will appear at the bottom of the list.

    Can’t believe how many of these keep coming up. Such an awesome pedal.
  16. Quatschmacher
    Hence why I said there ought to be some kind of adjustable bracket. I’m sure there’s room for improvement.
  17. Quatschmacher
    I can’t help thinking the need to have interchangeable brackets or something on the boots to remove the need for Velcro. Pretty cool concept though and gets rid of loads of messy wiring.
  18. Quatschmacher
    I mean, how do you engage the effects?
  19. Quatschmacher
    Saw this on a Facebook page and it made me giggle.
  20. Quatschmacher
    Just encountered this design today, an interesting and different approach.
  21. Quatschmacher
    Is yours free of the chattering noise? I’ve sent mine in for replacement/modification as Dunlop were offering to add the resistor mod that is now standard.
  22. Quatschmacher
    I guess if you stagger the pedals then the bolts on adjacent pedals will be in line, saving some space, but I see your point - there’s a lot of daylight in there.
  23. Quatschmacher
    I’m thinking about getting one of these smart track models as I hate Velcro. Just found that my local shop is a dealer so will check out at the weekend. https://www.aclamguitars.com/pedalboardsystem Anyone use them? If using the top-routing model, how tidy is it with a power supply running from underneath?

    If you read it a year ago it would have been a vastly different (and quite impenetrable) manual. Also it would have been for v2; v3 is very different. My new version was released at the end of October. I completely rewrote it, added screenshots, examples, wrote new sections on useful stuff and rendered it into clear English so it’s a completely different beast. Read it either here or from within the editor under the “help” menu tab.
