Just had another great transaction with Gavin, hilariously involving me buying back the pedal I sold him a few months ago (we’ve all been there, right?). All sorted quickly and efficiently with prompt, clear and friendly communication throughout. Many thanks.

Been a fan for years. Went to see him a couple of years ago too. If you like him, check out Dabeull too.

Physics dictates that pitch is a function of string length, string mass and string tension. Height has nothing to do with it. If the sounding string length and string mass remain the same, then the tension required to maintain a base pitch of say 55 Hz on the A string remains the same. Lowering the height just narrows the distance one has to press the strings, which costs less physical effort. The further one increases the string height, the further one is stretching the string in order to bring it into contact with the fret, hence the more under tension from the base value the string becomes when fretting compared to lower string heights.

Yep, insanely light! I have FS on one of my Ps and the G string is too thin for my tastes.🙂 To the OP, lowering the string heights a bit will make them easier to play if you’re finding them too much effort currently.

Just spotted these today and wonder if they are infringing on Aclam’s patent: https://www.joyoaudio.co.uk/JOYO-rockdriver-pedal-case-board/

Don’t know why I’ve never yet listened to Patrice’s albums between 1974’s “Prelusion” and 1982’s “Straight From The Heart” (the one with “Forget-Me-Nots”). I will be rectifying this oversight in short order.

Now for sale. I need to rationalise my gear.

Might move my Source Audio Bass ZIO on but I’ve not decided yet, I do like it. Possibly my Spectrum too.

I’ve now bought my old MXR VBO back and so later in the week the balance should be restored.

No you didn’t. That was the EQ2. I’ve only ever had this one C4.

If anyone is attending the Guitar Summit in Mannheim in September, Panda will be there and I should be exhibiting with them. https://www.guitarsummit.de/?lang=en

I’ve managed to borrow one for a while in exchange for lending a friend Artifakt. I’m enjoying it. Not sure it’s hugely different from the MXR I sold you. I am considering getting another one to replace it (which would be the third I’ve bought)! Cull is continuing: I’ve even listed my C4 now too. (@2pods, I presume you’ve already got one by now.)

Darren hasn’t been able to fulfil orders unfortunately as he’s not been well. Panda are working on their own compact housing.

While the C4 filters are great, they don’t quite capture the resonance of an analogue filter (Artifakt does though). They also cap at 6kHz (Artifakt is full range).

Ah yes, forgot about that. On the big Qtron and microtron amp gain and envelope gain can be separated.

If sensitivity (gain) is lowered on the MuTron then it’ll be static but there’s no control over cutoff frequency aside from the high/low range switch. “Peak” is the resonance control so just boosts frequencies around the cutoff.

Try it with resonance all the way down as that will make the band as wide as possible. It’ll be quite subtle anyway.
