If I'm not mistaken, it's fine to oversupply mA as pedals will only take what they need. (correct me if I'm wrong please) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I am in love with this bass tone. Will our favourite box give me something similar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinsleyWalker Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The click of my Edit/Bank Up dial has gone. It still registers, so I can edit patches/go between banks but it would be nice to have the click. Taken the FI apart and can't see anything loose so I'm guessing I'll probably need to replace that pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, contact Panda and I’m sure they’ll be able to send a replacement pot or point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I took the dial and screw off the top I did blow some dust/dirt out, but it didn't affect the click unfortunately. There was nothing inside the pedal. I'll try again later with the vacuum. If not, I'll contact Panda. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receipt from PayPal quoted €265, which was converted to £240.16, and that's what I paid. The pedal arrived yesterday evening via DHL.

Make sure you get yourself a USB-to-MIDI adaptor to get the most out of it; Roland UM-One Mk2 is the one I’d recommend. If you have a Morningstar controller then you can use that an interface to the editor. Edited November 11, 2022 by Quatschmacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug in the MS to the PC via USB. Enable “cross MIDI Thru” on the MS. Select the MS as the input and output device in the FI editor. Connect the FI MIDI ports to the MS 5-pin MIDI ports. Works for everything except firmware updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidl e Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Mine should be here early next week. I couldnt pass up the sale and i was getting nervous bringing my Deep Impact around.

Youre that fella that made all the user patches, yeah? Ive got them all DLed waiting for my pedal. I know i need the midi interface first.

I know i need the midi interface first. The Roland cable is only for communication with the computer so no expression. MidiBeam works as a full interface (editor communication and firmware updates) with the computer and lets you have expression or footswitch on each of the two jacks. To be honest, something like a Morningstar MC3/6/8 would give you more functionality as regards expression and external switches. Also, as mentioned, it'll function as an interface for editor communication. It won’t do firmware updates but there really aren’t likely to be any more (possibly one, I’m running a beta firmware that has a small bug fix for when triggering from a keyboard but unless I find anything else broken, there’s not much room for improvement). Yes, most of the FI patches out there are ones I created (bar the original Talkbass patches from other users). No need to download them as such as they are all accessible within the cloud part of the editor, though it doesn’t hurt to have a backup on your computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
