This nailed it... can't believe I didn't notice it! Thanks muchly for that!

Okay so my Mvave chocolate plus came - and as is usually the case, there are issues (with my C4, I think) 🤦‍♂️ When it's set in PC mode, it goes through the presets brilliantly, with 0-3 corresponding to 1-4 on the pedal etc... Issue is, for some reason number 4 and a couple of other random numbers seem to bypass the pedal when they switch the preset. The controller DOESNT do this to my ultrawave though and pocket midi also does the same thing to the C4 from my PC. Any ideas anyone? 😫 I've tried factory resetting the C4, and uinstalled and reinstalled neuro 3 too...

I like that it's the same circuit - existing owners are less likely to feel put out (especially those new to party like me)... but the headphone in/aux out is a brilliant addition. Not sure I like the new aesthetic as much as V1. I always liked the rubber knobs on aggie stuff. Also, although lightweight is always good, I find the weight and build of the V1 reassuring; you know you're holding a serious bit of kit.

Didn't like alot of the drives or compressors, didn't like alot of the amp models, suffered with option paralysis and second guessing my choices, and found I spent longer playing with the pedal than playing bass. That being said - I LOVED the flexibility of it and how nothing was off limits workflow wise. I'm Certainly not saying they're bad - there are far better players than me that sound brilliant with it. I'm just analogue at heart and found I could "hear" a difference (most likely listening with my eyes to be honest).

Ian Allison was the reason I bought an HX stomp - 3 times! Hated it and sold it on every time.

Everything bar the Tuner, Ocabvre and C4 are recent new or new to me acquisitions in a bid to find my IEM + FOH sound... but the HX one was purchased new today out of the need for an occasional bit of reverb and delay. What a great pedal! I didn't see the point on release and was torn between this and the zoom ms60b+ today, but the designated tap tempo won me over. I love the idea of having future requirements met, and having the option paralysis of the hx stomp taken away - just one pedal, no routing or amp and cab options to worry about. You can even limit how many "presets" you're able to scroll through with the footpedals which is great! For £200 this just seems a well thought out and well built pedal!

Ita coming in a couple of weeks so I'll find out! Amazon's returns policy is bulletproof so no concerns 👌

Oo! For £30 on amazon it's worth a punt! So it should just plug into the C4 and work? Midi is so alien to me I'm scared I break something 😬

My search abilities may be failing me but I can't find the answer I want to my question so here goes... Is there an alternative to the disaster area micro.dmc? I just need a simple, tidy solution to access all of the presets on my C4 without wanting to get into scenes and big controllers or run millions of cables... @LukeFRC I see you built your own... was this an easy thing? Id rather pay £25 than £165!

It's great when everything comes together and you're digging your sound! I REALLY wanted to get one of the pulp and peel compressors but opted for a cheaper unit instead 😖 Excellent bit of kit for the money - I bought a used one for £15. Stays in my gig bag for emergencies. I do worry they may be a bit heavily mid scooped as their sansamp inspiration is, but again - for the money you can't go wrong!

They also now have a 3.5mm aux in/phones out on the back too, which I think is a hugely practical addition and something massively overlooked in modern class D heads. I've recently purchased a NUX mighty plug pro for this application, but would much rather that it was integrated into my pedalboard.

Spotted this on faceache today - seems a but coy in the comments too... seems inevitable with everything else being updated and the new form factor for the AG preamp. I've just gotten a good deal on a used one too, no doubt I'll end wanting the new one regardless 😫

Answered my own question and bought a Tone Hammer - surprisingly close. The ToneX one definitely captures the character! It's also so much closer to the qualities of analogue than any of the line 6 etc modellers have come... scary to think what they've crammed into this at such a low price! Software is AWFUL though... mines going back simply because the money is needed elsewhere... I'd love to justify keeping it, and will most likely buy again in the future.

I've had some decent board set ups in my time, but I think this is the one 👌 eventually a small midi controller will be added to the C4 as I like an envelope filter but my 6 presets are filled with dancy synths. Replaced the Bass Zio with a Tone Hammer. I feel late to the party with this one but I think there's a reason they've not changed it in 15 years, what a sound! Briefly had an IK ToneX one infront of the aforementioned Bass Zio, but gravitated to the Tone Hammer captures so thought "Why not just get a Tone Hammer?" (Side note, the ToneX One is a scary good piece of kit, AI frightens me). Also put the Sovtek Deluxe back on as I just love it, and the one patch I was using on the Ultrawave is easily approximated on the C4. I'll likely keep the Ultrawave all the same just for the poor resale on them - cracking bit of kit that will likely come in handy somewhere down the line. Brilliant utility pedal, that seems vastly misunderstood - most likely due to all of the sponsored reviews leaning on the crazy trem stuff... anyway, I digress.

Just clocked the "Sim amp" too! https://www.demon-fx.com/index.php?c=show&id=92

Any of you using the tonex and also have experience with the tonehammer di? Short story long - Bought myself the tonex one as a birthday present, and while I'm really impressed with it I find myself gravitating to the tonehammer capture on the tone-net. It's subtle, but does something cool to my tone. Now wondering if an actual tonehammer would give me more of what the tonex is doing 🤔

Latest iteration.... Removed: EHX Sovtek Deluxe Muff, Joyo Monomyth... more I can't remember Added: More than I can remember... gone back to the Ultrawave, mostly due to extra spluttering it provides for synth stuff, and lack of resaleability... Added an attenuator at beginning of chain, as my Z7 is too hot for the dynassor even with the pre leveled off internally The space heater goes before the Zio to warm everything up... thanks @Berserker, it really does the trick! the zio is just a quality DI all around, although it may soon be swapped for a tonehammer DI... any thoughts on Zio vs Tonehammer? Worried with the space heater it may end up being TOO warm...
