How are you getting on with yours. I’m still jealous. 🙂

Picked up this brand new a couple of weeks ago. It’s awesome but not what I’m looking for. It’s a 12dB per octave analogue resonant filter based on the Korg MS20 filter. It has envelope control, multi-shape LFO control and static/expression control. There are three main modes (fixed, envelope and LFO) and each of those has sub modes via a button and in each mode the secondary foot switch does something different. There is onboard preset storage; a small number of presets are accessible via the button and further presets are recallable via MIDI. It’s really easy to use and if MIDI isn’t your bag you can use the pedal without it and still get tons of variation. It’s great but I’m swamped in pedals at the moment and this probably won’t get much of a look in. A couple of very faint small scuffs on the base plate but otherwise pristine. Comes in the original box with all the paperwork and candy. No trades. I can post out on or after Tuesday. -
Lakland are going to reimburse Jon Shuker to fix the issues so it should all be good in the end.

@Pedro_Mendonca has a wanted ad for a Q-Tron. -
I’ve just uploaded a whole bunch of Spectrum presets which can, of course, be loaded into the C4.

Pm sent re Joshwah. -
The Joshwah is something I’d like to try sometime. Maybe @GisserD will buy it as he’s on a serious filter binge.
-
Nope, the bass for sale is cherry sunburst which is has more red/orange and yellow. Honeyburst is browner (but not as brown as tobacco sunburst). This is honeyburst:

Had it been natural or honey burst I’d have bought this instantly.
-
Guess he must have changed them then as it wasn’t either of those. I got rotosound 66s put on when I had it set up but now it’s wearing GHS precision flats. -
Must be really good then. I’m really digging the white one I bought from Simon. By the way, what strings were on it when you sold it? Not sure if they were the same ones that @Stealth had on when I bought it. They sounded great. I forgot to ask to keep them when Jon Shuker set it up for me with a different set.

Source Audio make a tap tempo switch too.

These are great. I have the trans white one that John used to own and it’s lovely.
-
Sounds cool. What patch was this?

It’s a collaborative effort and expands on the benson preamp and not just a rebrand. It does much more than just preamp features. It’s a very capable drive and wah pedal too. Yes, it’s very pricey but there’s a lot of work gone into it. I hope that this takes off and brings the price down on later projects. I talked to Joel when I met him in Berlin last year and he wants to make this format his thing for his future pedals. It’s the ideal marriage between hands-on analogue controls and presets.

Sandberg Electra Jazz Bargain in Nottingham
Quatschmacher replied to Marky Screen's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Just drove past Nottingham today on my way south. -
These sound great. I think it's only a matter of time before I cave in and get one. Have you tried running this into a noise gate?
-
It’s a Classic Series. Basically the same as the US Series but with ultra lite tuners, alder only, no pickup cover, fewer finish and wood choices. I’ve had a reply and I’m hopeful they’ll come good whatever happens.
-
I asked for the pickup cover to be white. John suggested painting it with the same paint used for the body which was an even better idea. I wanted to make it look as much like a normal P as possible. I need to get in touch with Lakland to mention the issues and I’ll ask about costs. The dots are actually birdseye maple.
-
I’ve never posted one of these before but this just arrived today after a 7-month wait. Sadly it has a bit of an issue at the neck joint and some buzzing on the open D but I’m hoping a trip to Jon Shuker will sort that out. Luckily it sounds lovely and plays really nicely. The neck profile is wonderful. Here’s a clip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CsIxUzVpni9GGTdnOjSyycjlzWIOn_PW/view?usp=drivesdk

You might not hear much difference if the filter cutoff is low as the differences are much more perceivable in the higher frequencies. Try bypassing the filter first then make the volume adjustments and you should hear some change. Depending on the relative levels, it can be subtle.
-
Basically if the sum of volume sliders within a single oscillator goes over 127 then foldover distortion occurs. The same is true if the master volumes of two-or-more oscillators goes over 127. This is a design feature and some interesting sounds can be made with it. Try bypassing the filter entirely and assign the VCF envelope to one of the oscillator volume sliders so that at some point in the cycle the sum of volumes goes over 127. Several of my patches use this feature, usually the ones which are a pseudo FM sound.
-
There is no combination of settings of the main mixer volumes which makes a sound warmer. They are simple volume controls, one with a linear taper, the other with a logarithmic taper. You are correct that the old software only had one slider. The second slider was added to give a better response when controlling it with a flexi slot. Setting the VCO levels is a different matter entirely. You need to pay careful attention to the levels set on both the three waveform sliders within a single oscillator and the levels of the master VCO volumes of all four oscillators. Read the manual section on foldover distortion for an explanation.

That’s interesting. The lack of individual CCs for the two sides does seem like a bit of an oversight. I chose this as a one-stop delay/reverb but I’ve also got a Ventris and Nemesis coming so I’ll see which I prefer. Might use one with my synth and another with my bass board as my Moog doesn’t have any built-in effects and I think it would sound good going into some.
