[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1332671539' post='1591311'] Suweeet. I'm particularly interested in your Nova Delay demo - I'm looking to buy a Nova Repeater soon (when I shift a few pedals I don't use any more) so I'm really interested to hear how the TC stuff sounds with Bass. Also, I'm hoping it will convince me that the Repeater is adequate and that I don't need to shell out extra for the Nova Delay! [/quote] The Repeater is pretty awesome too. It has the same core tones with a little less versatility - tape & analog are a setting of their own on the Repeater, rather than a tonal shift that can be applied to any of the settings on the Delay (So you can have tape reverse and analog reverse etc on the ND-1). The deal breaker for me was the presets. 9 storable presets that save exact BPM and settings... for what I do, thats been a life saver. My Boss DD-20 had 4 presets and I was struggling live to dial in new tempos. This has changed everything. Tonally, both the Repeater and the Delay sound awesome with bass.

In theory - I've never tried via the app...

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1332669699' post='1591281'] Nice post on reverb and delay, looking forward to your new video demos too. [/quote] Cheers dude. Doing some final sound samples today and putting together a dummy video. All being well i'll have the 1st one sorted in the next week or so.

Did you update the firmware of both pedals 1st to make them comparable with the newest batch of Toneprints? Update - http://www.tcelectronic.com/flashback-software.asp

[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1332630225' post='1591057'] Fantastic blog once again Shep, out of interest as I am planning on picking up the TC Flashback and Hall of Fame in the next week or so did you find the Flashback needed an isolated supply to avoid the high pitched ringing delays and reverbs can sometimes create? [/quote] Thanks buddy... The Flashback is fantastic and has a low power consumption. It seems perfectly happy to share power supplies. I use it at home as a looper for my home practice as its about the best loop pedal I've ever used as well as a stunning delay (the modulation delay is lush!). It swallows batteries in looped mode when playing back, but other than that is very power friendly (and VERY silent).

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1332454489' post='1588740'] Shame not to see the full thing with TC corner . Just having a nosey through your FB band page and I stumbled across something very disturbing...someone slopped a pint over your pedalboard?!??!! What the hell did you do?! I trust everything still works fine? I've been so scared on that happening to my gear, how would you go about preventing damage and salvaging your gear? [/quote] You can blame a dodgy internal power section for it lacking TC corner! Yeah that was a rowdy gig. The stage was literally 1cm deep in liquid, so every time I lifted a foot to press a pedal my soaked trainer was soaking the pedals and basically pushing water into the foot switches. I took my hoodie off and stood on that, but 5 minutes later that was soaked right through too... Then a flying pint hit the floor right at the side of the board and it's contents soaked my foogers...! Nothing shorted out. If it had it'd of been gig over an I'm unsure of what I'd of done. We got back to our studio about 1am that morning and I blasted switch cleaner into every footswitch, then went back the next day, cleaned every pedal and the board and switch cleanered the pedals again. The Moog LPF footswitch refused to work so I bought another - by the time the replacement switch arrived the cleaner had eaten all the beer and it was working again. It was an exceptionally rowdy gig - its the show the 2 most recent YouTube vids are from & don't expect such a thing would happen again, though I did realise that if that pint had landed behind the board and gone into all the open jack sockets along the back of the foogers and the power supplies underneath then it would be game over - as such I have bought a 3mm black plexiglass sheet which runs the length of the back of the board and comes up to the hight of the foogers to protect the back (and will soon have 'Our Helical Mind' on it in nice big print!). I figured if we're going to Europe later this year on a gig-a-night basis I can't afford for an accident to screw all my gear up! One thing I do know is that my gig tool box will always contain a can of Servisol Super 10 Switch Cleaner as it fixes everything!

[quote name='Wud' timestamp='1332451256' post='1588685'] Oh yeah, 2x MF-101 would be grand. Two of the Ring mods is crazy bonkers bliss, I can testify in court if required. I do like the TC Nova Dynamics, thought your sumation nailed it really, allthough I know what Bongo is on about. [/quote] Yeah - its pretty immense... Feeding one an LFO and swelling that sound with the 2nd - oh my it's good! I love the Dynamics - very subtle. Not the best stop box style compressor I've used, but the multi-band studio mode is amazing for my application. The noise gate is 1st class as well. [quote name='Wud' timestamp='1332451433' post='1588687'] Also Shep, Have you put anything through the Feedback Insert point on the Cluster Flux ? If you don't have an insert cable, you need to get one ASAP! It is simply...Amazingly Ridiculous. Indeed. [/quote] No, I haven't really played with it. What are you feeding it with and what results does it give?

[quote name='Wud' timestamp='1332450658' post='1588673'] Hey Shep, I kinda feel I could trust you with delicate expensive gear. [/quote] Thanks bud... I currently have PRIME_bass's Moog MF-101 too so I could experiment with 2 low pass filters... Oh man it's amazing!!!!!! Shep

[quote name='Wud' timestamp='1332450463' post='1588668'] A corner of The Chaos as it is currently - [/quote] That is full of serious win...

[quote name='Wud' timestamp='1332449979' post='1588660'] Beautiful ergonomics Shep. As I said on TB, let me know if you need a loan of the Nova Dynamics if the repair runs late. [/quote] Just replied on TB - top man!

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1332444030' post='1588560'] Does anyone know what the Quartermaster from the Gigrig actually does? I keep getting updates about it on Facebook and as far as I can tell it just turns your pedals on and off! If you could set up presets of a number of pedals at a time then it would be great but you can't do that. Maybe I have missed something with it? [/quote] It's a bypass looper - but it has the GigRig buffered bypass system in it for super silent switching and soft press switches - so the signal does not pass through 3pdt switches, rather through a VERY high quality buffer. It's the same switching as used on the expensive Pro/Midi 8/14 units (which you would need for your multiple presets). It can be personalised by swapping certain inputs to have special features as detailed on the GigRig site as well. Basically a super high quality bypass looper. As for pedalboards... A couple of slight updates. Nova Delay now a major part of the board. The space above it now also sits a Nova Dynamics (though it's not in the pic). I've also raised the 8-way looper (a I kept catching the EP-2 rather than the Tremolo!) and also raised my Moog Low Pass Filter as seen below to raise the footswitch a little higher over the MP-201 expression pedal when it's in heel position - oddly it looks pretty cool as well!

Bought Bens Tascam interface. Easy transaction, good communication - Very happy! Thanks bud Shep

Tunes low A no problem. A flat with a gentle pluck and good string muting for everything else. Seems inaccurate lower than that.

Tried it. It sucks. Nothing like the Mastotron. Subs on 3 for the Distortron is less than subs on 2 for the Mastotron. I was pretty excited about it, but IMO its not great for bass.

Thanks bud - its just one mans opinion mixed with a range of facts - but I hope some people can take away a few pointers and better still I hope those pointers will work out for them! Just make sure you try every possible combination before settling on one.

Read my blog on signal chain basics (link in signature) - shameless plug. Start at part one and you'll just in time for me to publish part 4 tomorrow

Hey bud, no worries - You'll likely have to wait until Tuesday evening though as I'm not planning on being at the studio until then (unplugging for a few days so to speak)...

My TD650 had the same issue and I also solved it by reconnecting some internal plugs! Obviously a small flaw in the design!

I only ever used the original as a chromatic tuner anyway. I bought it as I preferred the display to all the others on the market - so I got the mini for the same purpose an the display is still very clear. The large one has been demoted to home/practice/back up an the mini is now on my board.

Yeah this is a stripped down version of the big brother in terms if size, features and price. It tunes poly for guitar and chromatic for both with most basic detunings programmed. That said mine tunes E,A,D,G in poly perfectly (though not my B or C) even though they say it shouldn't! No USB on the mini either so no future updates would be possible.
