Daz39 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Srsly though: PSA? What's the idea with the save/presets - the counter has 3 digits - is that for adding other effects or would I actually think up 999 variations of noise?

dannybuoy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Certainly more pedalboard friendly than the original. Although you could always put velcro on top of one of these and use it instead of a Pedaltrain: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the rack PSA 1.1. This is basically the same in a mini flyrig format. For those of you who don't get it and are happy with your "on/off" distortions, this is a 128 channel pedal due to the midi. If this doesn't sell well it's because people are morons or think midi is the work of Satan. I stand this up as the best preamp ever. For flexibility alone it wins. Multiband distortion. Midi presets. The lot. It's voiced superbly, works with guitar and bass. I've used it as outboard in my studio on occasion to crunch up some drum loops. @Tech21NYC have scored a blinder with this. Frankly, I wished they put the midi presets on some of their other products. If the Dug pedal had them you could properly toggle between clean and dirty settings. Oh well, living the dream. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 @Wolverinebass multiband you say? I’ll have to check out the manual then! Lack of a blend or crossover etc had made me less interested in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of a blend or crossover etc had made me less interested in this. Basically, buzz distorts the lows, punch the Mids and crunch the highs. Drive is like poweramp distortion of a valve head. Quite creamy. It's not a crossover thing, but you can still distort bits of the signal or all of it if you ramp up the preamp gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I get it now, it sounds to me from reading the manual that Buzz/Punch/Crunch is simply a 3 band EQ before the clipping stage, and Low and High a 2 band EQ afterwards. So you can lower the Buzz to reduce the low end going in for a tighter drive sound, then boost it back up again afterwards to compensate. I like the sound of that, it achieves a similar thing to the character control of the VT Bass, which is a pre-drive mid control. I like to crank that up rather high to affect the breakup then rebalance with the blend and EQ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yeah. Buzz, drive and low eq are all interactive so yeah, you can do what you say. The buzz, punch and crunch aren't eq per se as they are distortion points. I tend to have punch quite low for example and have crunch rather high. It's all to taste really.

paulbuzz Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yet another GAS-able product from Tech21 - good work! But I do find myself a bit dubious about the physical form of this, and many of their other recent products (the Steve Harris, the dUg, the Flyrigs etc). Specifically, the control knobs look awfully flimsy - like they might snap off if a drummer glanced sternly at them. Any owners of any of these products care to comment on their sturdiness...?

Cuzzie Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Knobs are not flimsy and work very well, like anything if you abuse it, it would break. What is universal is that small turns have big effects on the knobs - that’s the way they are geared 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
