The unit is obviously still under warranty. It's best to see if you can readily repeat the problem first. Anything can happen on a gig. If it turns out the unit is faulty I'd return it for a different unit if possible. That may be faster than sending it in for warranty service though we do have a quick turn around on most repairs.
Even a new cable can be faulty. Or you may have a pickup or a potentiometer starting to fail in your bass. Or you may have a slightly tarnished jack socket. Or...
The sansamp part is analog your rite, but the filter section and the chorus pedal part are powered off won DSP chip. I don't remember witch chip though.
Hi folks. Watching a lot of videos and reading every post here does not solve one doubt i still have about the BFR: with the "pre" option engaged, is there a volume increase when the boost is pressed? Is it able to increase the dirt keeping the same volume? In some videos I think I have noticed a volume increase and in others I don't think so... Hope the owners here could help me with that.

It depends on the drive setting. If you have a saturated signal, where the signal is breaking up a little bit when you dig in, it's possible to add dirt without a volume boost. If your normal setting is clean the boost will increase your volume no matter what setting it's in.
according to what Ive read and watched the octiver can be tinkered with buy using the Q and range controls, has any of the owners experienced this?
as to the fuzz because Ive seen some people on the web complain about it, I know the fuzz is gated and thats fine, just kick the compressor up and it should hold for quite sometime, especially if your using hot pickups.

The flyrig concept has really grown on me. The octa filter section on paper I have no use for- but I'm sure it's one of those things that I will have to try for myself.
If only someone would sell me theirs....

I would love one of these...I just wish they had put in an "aux in" jack for practicing. It would have been pure magic!

Yeah theres things I wish they had done to like reverb and delay and the option to turn the gate off on the fuzz, but hey, for 299USD for the giging musician you really cant complain. Those are just things we would ahve liked to have seen, but as it stands they gave us what we needed and some things to play with for fun to.
Hey all, I just took delivery of this great unit.
However. There's a massive latency on the octafilter. When you put it to 100 percent mix, the delay is unplayable. All other effects work as desired. Does anyone else have this latency on the octave synth?

My issues with the unit are well documented. I was a very early buyer, and a very early return to place of purchase......
if only they would have gone totally analog, thats the DSP I wrote about a few weeks ago, the hole octofilter section, fuzz, octave and the chorus are all ran off that one chip. They did that so they could get it to 9 V.
