Amen, brother. I could get a good twenty minutes out of "these are the things I do to sound like the bloke from Neu!".

I TOTALLY just upgraded my firmware to 2.01 with a cheapo USB interface. FUCK YEAAAAAAAAH

And yet still no demo. FUCK YOU.

I spent about 2-3 hours last night demoing and piecing together the audio, but it was way too long, too waffley and vague; it's extra hard to demo something when you're unable to show the settings. The screen is nowt but a glare when you put a camera like mine on it, it's annnnnnnnnnnoying.

I'll do a two mic demo in a little bit and blast through some settings.

Close-miked guitar amp?
Seperate vocal mic?
Compressed voice to sound like a smooth radio disc jockey?

It must be.. AN GEAR DEMO!

Now quit yer bellyachin', Livesley.

I'll look into doing demos of the other modes probably later today, while everything's set up.

Lovely stuff. this is exactly what we need. It's going to put the ShortscaleGearDemos page back on the map.

Sounds fucking MINT. Some really great Drive sounds in there and completely ripe for tweaking. Nice!

great demo, thanks! some nice sounding distortions, and sub-octave fuzz is pretty good too. but hell, the Fuzz Pi barely sounds like the real thing. it actually sounds a lot like the rat model.
but still, very nice piece of gear.

Bear in mind, the Fuzz Pi has more controls (an additional treble and bass control) than the real thing; I'm sure you could dial it in pretty damn close with a real one to compare it to.

That's the thing about digital modelling; it's often done very "scientifically", analysing waveforms and how the controls interact, there's not a huge margin of error. It may also be modelled on an early Pi model, so may sound a little different to the current model.

I find I use that sub-octave fuzz a lot. While I bought mine for the looper, delays, modulation and reverb, I find it's the filters I enjoy the most.

Which is nice.

This is a stupid question, but can you run two of the same effect on the thing simultaneously? Like, put a Muff into a Muff? I notice that it explicitly says that you can do that on the M13 page, so I was wondering if that was exclusive to the M13.

Yup yup.

Yeah, you can cascade them no problem and it actually sounds pretty good; sticking a volume boost into an OD pedal or what have you.

It's a... duck blur..

Proper demos tomorrow I think, I'd better get on with this paid audio mastering work..

Love the looper demo.

Those drive sounds were actually pretty good.

Damn I think I'm starting to want one.

Haha cracking looper demo Doog. It's all sounding well good so far.

Sounds good at the bench test Doog. Look forward to hearing the gig volume verdict.

Yeah, I'm really itching to try it at practise to see how it fares. My never-shifting fondness for irl RAT distortion is making it difficult to say "yup, this can definitely replace all my distortions"; even the closest models don't quite have the same EQ tonality I'm so fond of in the RAT.

hahah Duck Tales. you nerd.
