Another budget option: I'm using the £13 Bespeco BMUSB100 for the FI and it works fine (and I think is the cheapest one on FI list of devices they have tested that work), but there are a few that don't work: http://pandamidi.com/support

Cheers. All sorted now and also downloaded a few of your presets, good stuff thanks!

Anyone with ideas about why this is happening? Midi in/out are not appearing when I'm trying to connect to update to v3.6 (also not showing for the editor - one thing at a time though!). Trying to update via chrome. The midi connectors are plugged into the FI correctly (in to out, out to in) and the USB to midi device is on the FI list of ones that work (it's a Bespeco BMUSB100) and is driverless so nothing can be updated on that. I've tried on two laptops and it's the same result on both. EDIT: The answer to this is in-fact download the Editor- it is via that where I needed to go to the 'midi' menu and change the midi in/out. Seems to have updated to 3.6 all well.

Thanks. I just checked and the Stomp is midi out/thru too so I guess that makes it all simple enough.
-
I'd be interested to hear how you get on. I've got a Stomp and a FI so am thinking it might be worth getting a midi controller but as neither have a midi 'thru' and controllers like the morningstar only have one midi output I'm not sure how it'd work, I assume they can be connected: Morningstar midi out > Stomp midi in > Stomp midi out > FI midi in. .... the simplest thing I want is just basically adding footswitches e.g. Morningstar FS1 = cc 1 = Stomp FS4 toggle, Morningstar FS2 = cc 2 = FI scroll down. I'm not sure it's all going to be a big faff to sort out though. Has anyone here successfully done it?
-
I disagree! 😁
-
It'd take a braver person than me to contradict @Quatschmacher when it comes to FI and C4!
-
Yeah, to ballance the Basschat force I've lost a C4 and gained a Future Impact. A bit early to say which I prefer, there's not a whole lot in it all things considered. I think I prefer the FI synth sounds but the C4 envelope filters.

.... and relax!

I prefer fried punk, steam punk is healthiest - but who wants punk to be healthy?

Edit: Sold One Control Crimson Red preamp £85 Mint condition, boxed, only about 2 months old. Collection from Whitton or postage at buyers cost. This is one of my favorite pedals - it adds a tone that's based on 60s/70s tube amp going into 15" or 18" speakers. Heavy low end stuff with a small amount of breakup if cranked up. I recently got tapewound strings and a Helix stomp though so am sorted for that type of tone for now. (I had one before and sold it in February only to miss it and buy this new one a couple of months later.... perhaps I should learn a lesson?! If my setup changes to brighter strings and no Helix I'll probably be keen to buy this back!) -
I've done 4 ski seasons and I suppose the main thing I learned is that it's amazing, but you need some stamina to get the most of it- it's an exhausting young person's game....at least doing the jobs and social things me and everyone else I knew was doing. I've got no advice about being in a band there (nearest I got was a 1 night a week resident DJ) other than it's not really a place for playing anything high-brow, just well-known catchy party tunes. If I ever hear that f*king 'Mr Brightside' tune again it'll be too soon!

That's a mono cable - you'll need a stereo 'TRS' , they have two rings on them: https://www.andertons.co.uk/ebs-premium-flat-patch-trs-cable-28cm-ebs-dls28?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=CjwKCAjw_o-HBhAsEiwANqYhpwPvS9GqihC9_cogjy_vpwZMpvpTf3gbn9w1CuMv8GVav0PynGRMxxoCkr0QAvD_BwE

Are you using a stereo connector?

https://thepedalclub.co.uk/rent-effects-pedals-i416 £30pm per pedal subscription. I haven't used it though so can't say how good it is. Personally, I just take the p*ss with shop return policies. Or the amount of buying/selling/trading I do via basschat is pretty much a pedal exchange club!
-
Yeah, in an ideal world I would have both but I think budget and board space probably limits me to one or the other (although also have my eye on the Future Compact re-housing so that might help with board space - but not budget!). From what I can tell, the C4 is perhaps better for envelope filters and potential for stereo sound whereas the FI is a bit better at the Moog type synths and more in-depth editing? I've put my C4 up for sale which is perhaps a bit premature as I think I'll buy a 2nd hand FI (a couple for sale on here for similar sort of price to the C4) to test them side by side to hopefully whittle it down to one or the other.

SOLD (trade agreed). Source Audio C4 Synth. £190. Nearly new, mint condition, boxed, with power supply and phone to pedal connector. Will trade for a Future Impact (there's no particular reason for me wanting this trade other than I like to faff about trying different pedals, I probably spend more time doing that than playing Bass!). Collection from Whitton or postage at buyers cost.-

@prowla I realised later that the B string was in-fact tuned to Bb (thought it felt & sounded a bit off- I blame my fading eyesight and relying on the Helix tuner!) so the C4 will track very low even with muddy tapewounds. It does 2 octaves up/down and does a good tremolo and there is a way of doing a pseudo chorus thing but it wouldn't replace a decent chorus pedal, likewise with the phaser/flanger, it can sort of do it but I wouldn't use it to replace them (I use the Helix for those modulation effects though so haven't really looked into it, perhaps others have found ways of making the C4 do them better). Synth, octave and filter sounds are all good though. Give me a shout if you fancy trading the Future Impact for the C4. They are probably similar enough so I'm not sure why I want one in place of the C4 other than curiosity/a change is as good as a rest, shiny new things etc! I think the Helix covers some of the things the C4 is stronger on like stereo effects and low tracking for octaver and the FI can get more in-depth into sculpting moog type sounds. C4 is smaller but needs at least a DMC micro

I didn't get sent an activation link either so I clicked the re-send and that time it worked (to my junk folder)
-
That's not a bad idea! Describing tone is tricky, but comparing it to pizza types kind of works.
-
You can find it anywhere, you know what you get - it'll get the job done. It's similar to a thin crust margarita ('clean' tone?) but with added fatness, everyone thinks it's okay - it's not divisive but it's not overly exciting.
-
Sansamp BDDI must be a deep pan margarita
-
I've got mine up for sale too because it's too big to fit on my pedal board and the Helix Stomp and Solid Gold Beta go a long way towards sounding like it.....I think I'll probably want it back one day though. If I could make it smaller and make the boost and colour switches as one footswitch it'd be perfect.
-
I've been through a few and still think the DHA VT1 EQ it hard to beat, especially as it has so much control to suit playing style/setup and the tones you want: 3 band EQ with sweepable mids, input, gain, boost and level controls and switches for boost, colour, bright. Downside being all that takes up a lot of space and I don't have enough pedal board space for it. I'm tempted to try and squeeze it into a smaller housing but I don't think I've got the skills to not wreck it. Nearest I've found is the Solid Gold FX Beta for the lower gain settings, it sounds different at high gain though. I guess it's a bit like saying what the 'best' pizza is though, it's mostly down to personal preference.
