Yup. ;)

Link is in my sig.

Love the way this box works but also wish the jacks were backwards. No issues if you turn the pedal upside down.
What I don't like is the volume control being so easy to bump.
Can I just bypass the volume pot with a piece of wire?
In my perfect world, it would be really cool if it also had a fixed clean boost to help drive some low gain preamps but the price and audio quality is perfect!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Anyone know if this thing has an adjustable HPF that can be run without the overdrive kicked in?

It doesn't, and quite frankly is way too expensive to be used as such, even if it did have an HPF. The HPF and LPF on the X7 merely determine what frequencies the compressor and distortion are applied to.

From here or directly from Invalid Link Removed. I've got the Vong Filterung and the mini HP and LP. Simple builds, and they work great

I have the fDeck series 3 and Broughton always on HPF. Both great. I have the Broughton under my nano+

I have lok-knobs on mine. You have to pull and twist to adjust but otherwise they stay locked in place.

If you're referring to an fDeck...

Three options:
1) You can buy used off the TB GASsifieds section
2) Find some kindly TBer in the US to make the brand-new purchase for you and have it shipped over.
A few TBers have in the past offered to purchase/trans-ship.​
3) DIY — Mr Deck has kindly made his designs freely available.


I've got an original fDeck HPF III (somebody State-side offered to buy one for me, but IIRC I got mine used — had it for a while!), and I'm going to build another fDeck for a friend; and I'll build yet another for myself (in a stomp-box format).




Other HPFs...
Thumpinator is available from SFX in the UK.
Broughton ships internationally.
Other DIY — Efekty (out of Poland? Can't recall) and I've got an HPF of unknown provenance built up, sourced it from China.
