We are building new MKIIs right now but still waiting on parts on Bass Compressors. I think mid-July we will start shipping out bass comps but it is hard to give an exact date until the parts arrive. We have a pretty large dealer backorder so we will ship out to dealers first before offering...

Just a quick update on the Bass Compressors - We are still waiting for parts but I think we should have more compressors going to dealers in 4-6 weeks. Building things is hard right now, we never expected to be out of stock like this! If you have a BC from the initial run, already swapped the...

Yes please email us [email protected]. I'm not sure exactly what the issue with your replacement is but 99% of problems with be do to the ribbon cable not being properly seated. This could create several issues including the power LED not coming on but would be easily fixed by...

Thanks for letting me know, this should get you there - [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Thanks for understanding! Also if anyone hasn't received the shipping notification yet we are still in the process of getting them all out. We only have 1 person in the shop at a time right now so shipping is a little slower but all of them will go out this week if you filled out the form...

I think it could be pretty hard to make the pedal worse. The only thing I could see someone doing is tugging on the clips to the ribbon cable really hard and snapping them off so be gentle there! The procedure is really simple, you can find instructions here - Invalid Link Removed

They didn't, sorry. The shipment is scheduled to arrive today so depending on when they get here we can test them all and start sending them out early this week.

After extensive testing our simple fix of replacing the ribbon cable with a flex PCB does the trick. As of right now the parts are scheduled to be delivered on January 11th so we should be able to ship these out early next week. Sorry to everyone that is waiting for these, I know it is a...

Another batch of compressors should be ready in February, depending on the state of our shop. There are a lot of unknowns that make estimates difficult right now. Ottawa looks to be going into another lockdown for the month of January and depending on if that shuts us down it could be a little...

Quick update on the compressor fix - our easy fix, replacing the ribbon cable with a flex PCB works and it does fix the issue. We are waiting for the parts right now. The shop producing the parts came back with an estimate that was longer than we expected, we are seeing if we can source the...

New Units with the new ribbon cable should be available to purchase from dealers in a few weeks. Glad it doesn't deter you from trying it out, thanks! Everyone has been so kind and understanding about the issue and we all appreciate it.

We aren't going to require proof of purchase or anything to send the fix. If you have a bass compressor you get it fixed no questions asked.

The fix is much easier that swapping ZOIA pads. Fortunately, as long as it works it is the easiest fix we could do. I couldn't imagine this happening in a normal year. It is easy to blame CoVid for everything and the hectic basement/home office development, but really there is no excuse to...

The fix should be easy for anyone to do by swapping out the ribbon cable. It only requires replacing the ribbon cable, no soldering and no disassembly of the compressor required. As soon as we have the parts and are sufficiently certain that this will fix the issue we will send out...

In our situation it's an issue with the input trace running too closely to the led traces. The high impedance acts sort of like an antenna and combined with the inherent parasitic capacitance in the trace, is susceptible to picking up radiated noise, such as the leds switching on and off. Active...
