But does your arse need saving? 😁

Great tune, but playing this one riff for 5 mins leaves my fingers knackered! Jackie Wilson - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher (Best Quality) - YouTube And don't even get me started on Rhythm Stick! What about you, what songs leave you feeling distinctly uncomfortable having played them?

You probably can't go wrong with that format and genre - good luck with the new venture, sounds like a lot of fun!

Where you boys when I needed back-up and was getting shat-on by 10 rabid compressor users when simply trying to say that I didn't think one was "necessary"? 🤣 You and me both, and you're a Brummie too... I'm totally blown away by just how great a used £45 Zoom B1-4 is. So much so that I've now run out of patch space having set up 45 bespoke patches (dead easy and a lot of fun to do) interspersed with 5 clean patches, which are just useful to have so that you don't go from Tape Echo to Darkglass B7K without being able to pause for breath. Probably the first time I can 'fess to making the most of a piece of gear. Loved this post, particularly the bit in blue!

You're not the first person to say that, Andy. Not sure exactly what it is: perhaps a casual remark about how great compressors are on my part, or the fact that Lee is on the 923rd version of his pedal board and still hasn't quite found what he's looking for... 😄

Do please let me know what you think, when you've had a chance to audition them.

Not sure why it's taken me quite so long to discover the Xotic BB drive on the B1-4! Anyway here's a Xotic BB patch plus a dirty analogue chorus featuring the same drive, which seems to work well: Xotic BB [AK-Dri].zb1f AnalChoDri [AK-Mod].zb1f (also posted in the patch library in the OP for ease of future reference).

Haha! My second comment was pretty much a duplicate of my first... Is this now your favourite filter of all time?

Not cheap! 2.4 Ghz - I thought I read earlier in the thread that was sub optimal, but I'm not entirely clear from the comments what is "optimal"!

It's my pleasure to start a feedback thread for Bob. I've just bought a pedal off Bob, which came very well packaged and was in the mint condition described in his ad. Communications were excellent throughout and it was a very smooth transaction. I'd have no hesitation in dealing with Bob again. Cheers, Bas

Fixed - now that's impolite for you! 😁 ^^very true

How would you classify Chuck Berry and Elvis?

Ed Sheeran?

I suspect Taylor Swift will still be around and playing when Flea is sitting comfortably in his OAP home, and her audiences will age and continue to follow her. Just as we have done with the current crop of aging rockers.

Off the top of my head: Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa. IMO they would all easily outsell RHCP today. In the late 90s (say 1998) they were 5, 9, 7 and 3 years old respectively. Ok not rock bands but superstars with backing groups. But why doesn't that count?

I had exactly the same experience with the Delanos on my Sandberg being too "polite". +1 for Nordstrands as a very rude set of pups. EMG 40s on my Spector are a real treat too.

It's a shame that the FI "v3" unit was just a paint job i.e. the hardware is otherwise identical to the FI "v1". That's still causing confusion with bassists today who are surprised that they are both the same unit and possibly a missed op? However, I appreciate that the software and manual release that accompanied it were a big step forward at the time. Sounds like it would be worth waiting to see what SA have in store before jumping back in then.

Be super cool if Andras followed suit. Smaller housing, improved Boss RC-5 type display and uprated chip set so that it's not maxed out would all be excellent and keep his product in the game.

Glad it wasn't 6kHz cap on the filter then 😁

I've never really understood why Andras didn't go for a more compact housing. He said to me that not many bass players had made this comment to him, so he didn't see it as a priority. But it seems an obvious thing to do, given many bass players' desire to maximise the use of their PB real estate (and the considerable demand for @GisserD's more compact housing). However, the work that @Quatschmacher and the FI team have put in over the last couple of years on the software has been superb! The original interface was a PITA and very off putting - but it has been transformed out of recognition and the same can be said about the manual and I'm seriously tempted to give the FI another go. A smaller form factor and updated chipset (I think the FI came out in Dec 2015 Future Impact - YouTube ) - ideally with a better on-pedal UI / display , would make it a complete no-brainer.

That's interesting to hear, please elaborate!

Looks and sounds good, thanks for sharing Dan. Shame that the HPF and LPF are not also available on clean by-pass, that would have added another really useful string to this pedal's bow!
