you know what they say... tone is in the fingers but i play with a pick :D I have tried and tried to fingerpick with bass, but I think this dog is too old to learn new tricks.

it's a switch. I know everyone wants another knob to do this or that... but this pedal could get beyond ridiculous if we added every little feature for everyone.

Caleb knows a bit about the PDLX, but a I should clarify. None of the modes are up in the air. Most of them are completely finished, and the ones that are not either need minor tweaks or fixes. and I still haven't finished the user guide/manual. :crying:

"volume spikes" are pretty much part of how filters work. you can get around this in a number of ways. A compressor circuit will do the job, but usually turns everything in to mush, especially on the low end. Some filters get around this simply by decreasing resonance and not letting the...

to be honest the whetstone is about 1000 miles off our radar screen. I actually had to look it up after some recent comparisons. Granted it adds some extra controls beyond the norm, but under the hood it's a 4 stage OTA phaser. The DLX is an 8 stage VCA based phaser. Each stage in a phaser...

dammit steve. i can't tell you anything!!! It won't be out before the end of the month.

Not all opto filters are the same. The prometheus uses a biquad filter topology. To make it state variable you need two separate but equal variable resistors, along with 3 opamp stages and some other passive components. In theory opto filters like the Q-tron or mu-tron operate in a very...

I heard about this thread at another forum. Anyway, I have to tell you that there are at least 3 manufacturers, or at least three different sets of molds and tooling. Cliff switches, newsensor, and most of the ones you see on ebay are exactly the same. the guts are the same, the flanges...

I'm actually here looking for another thread about switches of all things, but anyway... the prometheus is NOT an OTA based filter. It's a VCA based filter. It uses one of the few VCA chips still in production, and is primarily used in modular synths, or sometimes adapted to replace IC's in...

Quasar answers here- The expression pedal input takes a TRS (stereo) plug, and kind of does the standard 0-5 volt thing, BUT the Ring (stereo) part of the jack is a 5 volt supply, the ring is ground and the tip is the voltage. if you plut in your standard mono plug it will short out the 5 volt...

Hey Tayste IM'd me and told me about your post here on talkbass. We don't actually sell directly to stores in Canada. We have a distributor up there. If they were telling you they were talking to us then I can assure you that it was untrue. I will admit that earlier this year we...

One of the other ideas I had, which I actually looked pretty bad, was to have a circle in circle in circle etc design, where the line of the outer circles had sort of a wave effect going on. I couldn't really pull it off in a way that looked appealing to me. The "concept" for the graphics i...

That depends on what you consider "boutique." I don't really consider us a boutique. We don't do one of's or custom work. Basically we do micro-mass production if that makes any sense. We are a small company, that is only a couple degrees removed from the days when we worked out of my...

Ok, I'm not trying to be dickish... and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. As far as your original post i responded to: The first part is stated as an opinion. That's fine. We have changed the artwork on our pedals for a number of reasons which are a lot bigger than the one...

whatever. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...
