    Cool. Shame Margate is so far from me.

    What’s the nut width, please?

    Jonny just bought my Wonderlove. Clear, friendly and prompt communication and swift payment. A pleasure. Thanks, Jonny!

    I do. Not knowing which drive model is in use at any point is frustrating. Yes there’s more variety but only one preset. I agree that having presets is great and when using the hub it’s pretty easy. However, at the point of creating presets I need things to be easily accessible so as not to interrupt my creative flow. I found the Aftershock a hinderance in that regard. That being said, it is a fantastic pedal, just not for me.

    I may well regret this but I think it’s time I started slimming down a bit more. These are now discontinued and so no new stock is available in the UK now as Bass Direct is the only stockist. This is incredibly versatile due to the loop, which is one of the main reasons I kept it. However, for the kinds of things I’m using it for (mimicking synth sounds) I’ve found that I don’t need the loop any more as my Mastotron fuzz is powerful enough to drive my other filters. And when using filter alone I have a preference for my Q-Tron. There are plenty of options for tone shaping on this pedal due to its having separate attack and decay controls. The (footswitch-activated) expression input is a cool feature and if you plug in something like a Source Audio Reflex or Copilot Broadcast, you can have LFO-controlled filter sweep too! Pedal is in excellent condition (with a couple of minor surface marks on the base) comes with original box (but not the rubber feet). The only trades I’m interested in are for a Cog T-16 (v2)/T-70, Moog LPF and Moog Phaser. Price includes postage.

    I hope they wouldn’t go that small. I was thinking of something like the Ventris. Though you might be right. That’d be a step backwards, I feel; having direct access from the front panel is wonderful. There’s precedent though, since they’ve already done something similar.

    I was mainly referring to the new price potentially dropping. I’m guessing they’ll replace it with one of the bigger One Series style pedals which has presets and a rotary encoder.

    If you really want one soon, I guess you may need to. They do come up but sometimes it takes a while. Apparently they’ve been discontinued (along with the whole Soundblox 2 line) according to Nathan Navarro of Source Audio so maybe the new price will drop once they introduce a replacement. Have you got a wanted ad up here too? I’ll keeo my eyes peeled for one.
  10. Quatschmacher
    You’re very welcome. If people have a wanted ad up I like to see that they get first crack at it. I always appreciate when people alert me too.
  11. Quatschmacher
    Isn’t that always the way? Did I buy yours? I forget.
  12. Quatschmacher
    Oops! Hadn’t realised the person I tagged had already found (and is now selling ) one.

    I’ve had another conversation with Olivier today. He’s tested the LPF option and reports that it won’t work. The fact that the resonance control is global means there’s no way to adjust the boost in output on the LPFs down individually. The PCBs are already in production so extra controls can’t be added. That’s a shame, but I’m sure the pedal is going to be awesome anyway.

    I’m going to ask Tom whether a switched potentiometer would solve this problem (i.e. one which clicks off when turned right down).

    For sheer versatility and range of sounds the Cog T-70 is a very strong contender. I’ve currently got it up against my Octabvre MKII, MXR BOD and Octo-Nøjs. The Cog doesn’t track as well for me as the others but gets quite close to the bouncy, doink-doink sound of the 3Leaf on the Tim setting with the tone rolled off. It also sounds close to the fat blend of clean, high growl, medium girth setting of the MXR. It also sounds like it has more heft at the bottom than the Emma pedal, though the latter has a unique sound with its filter wide open that the Cog cannot match. It’s tricky to describe; when the Cog’s filter is open it sounds like there are two distinct sounds going on - a low subby one, then on top a growly, fuzzy sound. The ON by contrast sounds like a more integrated whole - fuzzy and fat, though not as deep as the Cog. If I had to pick one (which fortunately I don’t) then I think the T-70 is the winner. The fact that one can quickly switch between three vastly distinct tone-blends is brilliant.

    3 BPFs and 1 LPF is also a possibility, Olivier has just confirmed. So I’m guessing 3 LPFs and 1 BPF would also be possible.
  19. Quatschmacher
    Formants are two resonant peaks so dual bandpass is best for this. So not having a pair of low passes wouldn’t stop that. Still, a pair of low pass filters might also be cool.
  20. Quatschmacher
    I thought I hadn’t seen those last two points. Yes, as I mentioned in a PM and another thread about this pedal, the gated fuzz is modelled on a Lovetone pedal. Did the filters have to be in pairs? 1 LPF and 3 BPFs would also be interesting if doable.
  21. Quatschmacher
    I’m really excited about this one! Can’t wait to hear samples.

    More specs after discussion with Olivier: The “fuzz” knob is a drive control, which begins to gate at half position. “Filters” knob controls filters’ volume ”mix” is dry signal on the left filters on the right. The fuzz runs into the filters (not parallel). 4 pole filter - yay! Mod selector is between LFO/Exp (or CV)/envelope up/envelope down It’s possible to modulate the ENV (or EXP/CV) with the LFO when LFO switch is in the HIGH position. It’s also possible to modulate the LFO speed with the ENV (or EXP/CV)
  23. Quatschmacher
    Holy cow! That’s amazing news! Option 2 sounds great. Presumably by setting the mod depth to zero and opening the filter fully on 3 of them, you’ll be able to use it as a “normal” single filter.

    I’m sending Olivier a link to this thread so he may well read or comment.
  25. Quatschmacher
    It’s four parallel resonant band pass filters. I guess you’ll be able to create formants.
