anyone have a Basswitch Sonic Spark yet?

[blindrabbit]

Got mine new today and realised that there was something loose when I shook the pedal.

Opened it up and was surprised.....why is there a washer that is loose?

I opened up the Basswitch.... could not find the ring that looked like a washer.

Damn those gut shots are clean and sexy. Lehle, you are beginning to catch my attention!

The Sonic Spark is one of my votes for all time favorite pedals. Really really good.

The harmonics added is very sweet. Smooths out the sizzle at the top registers.

Whilst I find the SS really interesting, I have a question;
Any news on the Compressor and OD?
Are they close to release?

The compressor is ready, has entered production and will be shipping soon, we will discuss on Tuesday wether we feel the Overdrive ready for release or wether it will still need some tweaking.

Looking forward to both of them!
Thanks for the info!
Are you at liberty to disclose in which direction the OD might be going, in terms of tonal character?

 

[Jacques]

I am but I would not want to influence people, we will soon soon record sonical sample so that everybody can judge for him(her)self.

 

[Dave W]

Yay!

I'll have both inbound once they're available.

BTW, I love my Sonic Spark. I use it to add the lower harmonic and really fatten up my tone for a bass heavy sound fit for reggae/dub type stuff (or anything needing that type of sound).

I really want a sonic spark, the demos sound incredible!

For this you set the enhance at lower(ccw) setting?

Yes.

 

[Andrew__Scott]

I'm in the same boat (sonic spark) Slightly different settings, but work amazing for me. Use it in basswitch serial loop. Huge amount of possibilities.

 

[Andrew__Scott]

And when my big board stay home I always have sonic spark with me. I do not leave my house without it.

 

[scubaduba]

Anybody running the Sonic Spark at higher than 9volts? Just curious what your findings are.

 

[Andrew__Scott]

On my big board I have cioks dc10 installed and I use it 12v outlet for powering sonic spark and 15v for basswitch. Small Line6 9v adapter when use SS alone. No audible difference for me (modulus quantum, always direct to FOH, always inEar. No amp, no cab)

There shouldn't be any audible difference (or any of the Basswitch stuff), just many more easy possibilities to power it.

the voltage is internally transformed to 18v.
So if you use a 9v adapter it still runs at 18v

Im currently also am using the enhance at ~80% cw, gain at unity though. im stacking it behind the solidgoldfx beta to bright-ing it up slightly

 

[scubaduba]

When you say enhance is ~80% cw do you mean at approximately 3:00?

Yes, NorthEast ~ East-northeast
