Future Impact now available!! WAS: deep impact reissue!!! interested?

yeah fine - we may have better beer, but you have better gear access...

Dude, sounds like you need to make a Gear Buying Microbrew Touring trip to the US. Both of my home states have several Microbrews within biking distance. In Boulder CO you can tour a bunch of micros, check the Craigslist used market and stop by the local gear shop in one long afternoon. Oh, plus there are mountains...even they have breweries.

I love US micro brews. I was making a comment on Adam's post.

Oh - and btw - we still have better beer than you.

Tanks, but this is beerly keeping on toxic: Camelflage in a stupormarket.

I wonder what the cannon is made of?

SO... It came up in a thread about the Unibass...

Will the FI have a separate dry out from the effected out? Otherwise, if not, incorporating the Unibass algorithms will be stifled/under-utilised...
 
I don't know anything about the Unibass, but anyway I never understood why people need a direct (dry) out... I mean, isn't it always possible to get the dry by splitting the signal before the effect? It seems like it's the kill-dry feature (getting only the effect signal) that's really what opens up all the mixing possibilities, or am I missing something here...?
 
For the Unibass the dry out is very helpful if trying to accomplish a bi amp setup. The dry out goes through the bass signal chain to the bass amp and the effected "guitar" signal can go through a separate guitar signal chain and amp.

The idea was that you'd have two amp rigs and run one side of the Unibass to a guitar amp and the other side to a bass amp. But you are correct in that you could easily split the signal without that feature.

If you split the signal before the Unibass, then you have a mixed output coming out of the Unibass with both Bass and "Guitar" signals going to the guitar amp. Mixing within the pedal allows the effect only tone to split out to the guitar amp.

This is incorrect, the Unibass has an effect output which outputs only the wet signal when patched. @ProfFrink is right that you could achieve the same result either way, but in the case of the Unibass it is handled internally so it is not necessary.

I can personally think of a few ways it could be beneficial to split before the Unibass, if you wanted to do so, nothing would stop you. But for the people who want to keep it simple and only require a separate wet and dry output, an internal solution like on the Unibass would be preferred to an extra piece of hardware handling the split for you, like @Feral Feline said. Saves you space and money, and time somehow!
 
>> gotta be a way for the dev to post up a few sound samples of this.

I should split my time between finishing the last details of the software, designing new sounds, and making demos with the FI. Of course, my priority must be the first, even if I would love to spend more time on the other two as well (and these are more fun than the first). The first thing what I did when it was so far a few weeks ago, I did the DI emulation sounds, because I see that this is what most people are waiting for -- and believe me, they are as perfect as it can be. I want to make a video demo of that with A/B comparison with the original. It takes a bit time to organize that, but it comes soon. I designed just a few new sounds that exploit the possibilities of the FI far beyond the DI, and when you will hear them then DI emulation will never be the first priority any more.
