Yes, of course I forgot to include the disclaimer "within reason"
I'm listening, how much interest do you think there would be for a "plus" style pedal?
You want an elevator pitch?
How close are you to that Front end? I get the sense that maybe so close you may not know quite what you did. If I had to bet, I would say that would be a piece that will be legend.
I think.. a variable high pass filter is one of those things that, once you have one, you can't figure out how you ever got along with out.
Think that feature is valuable enough on big stage work that it could become an indispensable item. It is for me.
I think given what I know about where the mid EQ points are on the 800 They really aren't where a lot of bass players look for what they want. They work but, people want what people want and a different eq point is something I know you've heard before. I much prefer different EQ points than what was baked in to the 800.
I think it's reasonable to figure anyone with an interest in an active bass DI is probably a techy nerd gear head. The people that would buy something like that and then turn around and appreciate the simpler, quicker format of the 800 are probably in the minority.
The only downside of making an 800+ is that you are going to take heat and put your 800 out of business.
and I'll close with a little piece of wisdom I got from my grandfather, he told me, "Steve, if you ever want to get rich, all you have to do is find a need and fill it".
You're making the second best active bass DI on the market right now when you could be making the best.
40 seconds. How'd I do?
