Those albums (Nightbirds, Chameleon, Phoenix, Pressure Cookin’ ) are great. Three of them were available as one of those classic albums collections. I bought this one separately. -
Hold the button longer. You need to start holding the button down before you insert the power cable. Continue holding the button down until after the firmware version number and instrument mode have both been displayed. I might reword this bit of the manual in the next revision to make this clearer. If you turn the parameter dial to “note off level” before you perform the above action then you’ll know you’ve performed it correctly as you’ll see “rS” (reset) shown in the display.

I’ve never used the original EQ pedal so don’t know what features it has. The EQ2 doesn’t have a random sweep. I did ask about putting in an LFO and basic envelope like in the modulation pedals; Jesse had considered it but wanted to avoid the whole MIDI clock thing. I managed to get it to do phasers too as you can dial in four sweepable notches internally (more via midi).

It is indeed a very powerful tool. The tuner is great and will replaces tuners on boards easily. It can be used as a very tasty foot-sweepable filter. You can sweep four bands using the onboard external control section. Via MIDI you can sweep all 10, feed them moving patterns like the Moog MURF. Ironically for foot sweepable stuff it’s better for that than the C4 as it covers the whole 20Hz-20KHz range whereas the C4 caps at 6Khz. Here I use the C4’s factory patch “EDM Swell” into the EQ2 to sweep the filters. Due to the dual channel arrangement, you can use the pedal at two points in your signal chain simultaneously with independent settings.

I’m discovering loads of cool stuff today.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

The 2i4 has MIDI, but it’s not good enough to handle Future Impact firmware updates and full memory writes, but is good for every other midi application I’ve used it for. -
What’s the reasoning behind the reversed P pickup in their 2-pickup models when the single-pickup version has it in standard configuration? And how does it differ? -
Excellent. Never heard of this band but will be checking out more of it. Thanks for sharing.

Got closer to the Pony sound using a combination of elements from Annette's version and of my previous version:
-
C4 as a drum machine anyone?
-
Probably my favourite Steely Dan record (with Pretzel Logic a close second).
-
Another great one. I’ve had this for over ten years and in fact was just listening to it again a few weeks ago. A brilliant live set.
-
Yep, sure is. I’ve got all her albums. There’s some live footage floating around on YouTube too.

These are amazing. -
Lovely. I’ve got an Olympic White version of this on order. Should’ve had it by now but the Lakland workshop is currently shut. GLWTS. -
I’m already several steps ahead of you on that score: check the section of the manual called “FI as a replacement for standard single effects pedals”. Here I go through how to set it up as an envelope filter, wah pedal, chorus, flanger, phaser, octaver, etc. Have a follow through that as there are some good nuggets in there.
-
Excellent. Glad somebody has got some positive use from that section; I felt the manual needed something like that. Is it worth my writing some more such tutorials?
-
covered numerous times in the manual in FAQ, section on tuner and section on updates as already discussed, but worth mentioning. Take note @burno70.

If you don’t need to save any custom patches from your pedal, simply use the Chrome browser updater. https://auraplug.com/panda/fiupdate/start.html It holds your hand through the entire process (be sure to let the updater install the factory soundset too otherwise you’ll have problems until you do). Ignore anything under “Future Impact I. legacy files”. When I wrote the manual, I assumed they would group all the necessary v3 files into a distribution package as they had done previously, which is why I wrote it as such - they didn’t. If you don’t go the browser update route (though there’s no reason not to) then you need the files listed as v3. See picture below. If you use the browser updater, then you don’t need to download the firmware. You’ll just need the v3 editor file (there’s a version of the manual embedded in the editor).

Spectrum doesn’t require a deep dive to use. There’s loads available from the 6 presets on the toggle switch and you get access to 8 parameters from the pedal surface so a decent amount of variation can be had without ever touching the editor. I’m pretty sure there’ll be people who buy one and never need to. However, to fully explore what it is capable of, the editor is essential.

Love it. The whole album is here:
-
It does look like it, however it’s a 35” scale bass so perhaps it’s moved to still be at the same point on the string (harmonically speaking). -
My other gripe was that you couldn’t set separate thresholds for the up and down sweeps so a threshold setting which was good for up ended up being rubbish for down, this gave only a small usable range of sounds which use both filters together.
