2 Notes Opus

#321
Hi @PhatBottomBass1

No, the 1.4-inch output is a mono balanced signal only and a Y-cable would not be the best solution here due to signal degradation - however you could place a splitter after this output to achieve a 2 identical mono channels from this output. Let me know if this helps!

Hey Ross thanks, this as I had expected.

Q: Can the EFX (Reverb) section be used WITHOUT the cab IR on the 1/4" TRS output?

Ideally, I would like a modeled pre/power + EFX to the 1/4" and pre/power cab IR to the XLR DI ?

Can I configure this??

Thanks for getting back to me. Sadly not, the processing blocks in OPUS are successive meaning that because the Cab emulation comes before the Post FX, you can create a cab emulated signal without post FX but not a post FX emulated signal without the Cab FX. Please let me know if this helps and if you need any other info, I am here to help!

Idea box:

What keeps Two Notes from having a "dummie" DynIR cabinet that would sit where an actual cabinet IR would be allowing preamp/power amp access to EFX for 1/4" output OR to sit between the preamp/power amp for pre-DynIR cabinet EFX?

I know I've heard players say they prefer the EFX before the DynIR cabinets??

Hi Ross,

Another question on the Genome situation.

I just put THE 400 into my cart ($/€19.99) a MESA 400+ and would like to confirm function WITHOUT having Genome ($/€79.99) to run?

2 channels, 7 band EQ (defeatable) with a power section that is also defeatable.

I would like to have The 400 on top of the Mesa Powerhouse 215 cabinet DynIR that I have bought for ($€10.00).

Thanks!

Hi @PhatBottomBass1,

Thanks so much for your post. Our Premium Components do require a full GENOME license!

Also, it'd be amazing if the B7K and 400+ genome plugins were available on the Opus, similar to how Neural has begun making their plugins available on the Quad Cortex.

Having a 400+ preamp/poweramp available would be a game changer in how I use the opus :)

Hi @Snake101st,

Thanks so much for your suggestion! The TSM/PEDAL-Ai components include some of our proprietary AI-based technology which is sadly far too CPU intensive for OPUS!

Understood, thanks!

Jim Morrison, in fat bearded period, (currently residing in France) had it right when asked; "Where do you see music in 50 years?" Pausing while stroking his beard - "I think it's going to be one guy and a bunch of electronic gadgets!"

I believe that he was wishful thinking about getting rid of Manzarek, Krieger & Densmore, may have been pretty close with Lorde but never saw Genome, OPUS and a laptop on stage coming!

Q: If there is a TRS output on Opus and you want to run a Splitter 3 way (1 mono + L/R 1/4" TS jacks) what do you recommend as the Splitter input jack?

(A) TRS no modifications

(B) TRS with modifications

(C) TS and no worries at all

I'm having Saturnworks 🪐 make a 3 Splitter, with a Bass modification, and a mute switch for my amp.

Thanks!

The TRS is a balanced output. The other channel on the cable (ring) carries a phase inverted signal, which will not be appropriate to mix with the original. Maybe your best bet is to ask Saturnworks to a build balanced trs to 3-way buffered TS split. That should have the lowest possible signal to noise ratio. If you don't want to use the balanced signal, then convert the TRS to TS.

That's why I asked Two Notes to make a factory recommendation rather than guess...;)

Just a small correction...it's the Boss VF-1
View attachment 7025727
I've been going over the manual (145 pgs) and it's not too hard to get around even for a Midiot like me. I was glad to find out that the Control 1,2 jack and my Boss FS-7 dual footswitch will scroll up and down the presets OR do Delay TapT and Reverb On/Off as an alternative.

I'm just a bit toasted on pedal format and see a bunch of utility here 10" x 8" x 2"...can fit in the guitar gig bag pouch with the Opus and pieces parts.

Thanks for getting the team on it, too!

Had me confused with the FV-1 IC. Been spending too much time on pedal PCB lol.
