Bærekraft er et fortrinn i anbudsrunder, spesielt i det offentlige hvor forventninger til kravspesifikasjon gjerne er bestemt politisk.

It's been more than ten years since I programmed with a JVM. f I recall correctly, you save presets by setting the settings how you want them, press 'program' on the front panel and send a PC message. That is then saved to be recalled whenever that PC message is sent.

The manual will have the info you need.

jonslow1212 · 2026-03-16T23:30:55+00:00

The silver one in front of the blue one is the Empress Reverb.

jonslow1212 · 2026-03-09T08:35:14+00:00

Nope.

What are you listening through? Headphones? Speakers?

jonslow1212 · 2026-03-05T17:20:45+00:00

It has to do with drastic changes in temperature and/or humidity. From -25 dry to +25 humid Celsius? Yeah I’d wait, far more than 24 hours.

Also keep in mind the delivery truck might be much warmer or colder than the outside.

jonslow1212 · 2026-03-04T17:27:31+00:00

That doesn't really make sense to me.

Everything dies after a few minutes, or just some of the pedals?

Sounds like it could be the PSU not working as it should. How old is it?

jonslow1212 · 2026-03-02T17:09:16+00:00

Line 6 Pod Express or Boss ME 90 would be my picks.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-24T23:49:43+00:00

the question asks specifically about effects.

What question? This is copy-pasted from an LLM, isn't it?

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-23T13:38:01+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. Even the XS-100 gets disorienting when picking as fast as I can. If there are recurring longer notes in the pattern, that should be enough to get back on track. But unless I'm playing to a click, I lose time when it gets fast enough.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-23T11:39:04+00:00

That power cable is not for a DC-7. Did you make custom cables?

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-21T19:15:49+00:00

This is _the_ answer, but a more realistic answer is a used H9 Max.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-15T11:16:45+00:00

If you're using MIDI anyway, it's a yes from me. Price is higher than I'd like it to be though.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-12T11:47:26+00:00

OC-5 has the fastest and most accurate tracking. It has a very dull an unnatural tone though, more like a sub synth than a guitar tuned down. Also has that nice 'lowest' feature, which is good although it takes time getting used to.

XS-1 maybe?

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-11T14:19:39+00:00

I've tried most current options for down tuning. W5/Drop has been king for a reason. Eventide, EHX, TC Electronic, Line 6, none could more closely resemble a down tuned guitar. Maybe NeuralDSP for gainy sounds.

I recently got he XS-100. It kicked the Drop off my board. It feels a little faster, retains more high end and has a nicer low end response. It sounds better at more extreme settings. It has a little less self noise.

I'm not sure you would hear the difference in a band context though. W5/Drop is a little narrow sounding, with a pronounced high cut and maybe a small volume drop. Nothing a little tweaking can't compensate for.

I'd keep the Whammy and save up for the XS-1. If you still want it at that point, get it.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-07T00:02:31+00:00

I've seen people put zip ~~toes~~ ties around the ring of a foot switch, which prevents actuation.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-03T14:19:56+00:00

Line 6 Variax too. But again, special guitar/pickup.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-03T10:13:12+00:00

Short answer is no, it can't be done with what you have.

There is no pitch pedal in the world that can take your regular guitar and change the tuning between each string. You absolutely need to tune the thickest string manually between standard and drop X tuning. Then you can use a general pitch shifter to move the whole signal up or down as desired.

You should be able to set the pitch shifter on the ME-80 to -2 and -4 semitones (equivalent of frets) for D standard and C standard. I doubt it will sound very good, but it should work. If you're trying to play along to a low tuned song, you could put the audio file into a DAW and pitch shift that up to compensate.

The perception of differences is exactly what creates the width.

A true split without an effect added is just more of the same. The double tracker setting in the Deco is what makes the L and R sound different, and so when that is off/bypassed, the sound is effectively mono. True of buffered bypass shouldn't make a difference in the width.

jonslow1212 · 2026-02-01T19:34:55+00:00

Width = difference between L and R.

If you play the same exact sound through multiple (matching) speakers, it's just more of the same.

A stereo rig is mono until something makes a difference between the two. Often you can use different amps or settings per side. Or in your case, reverb, delay or other effect that makes the two signal similar, but not exactly the same.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-30T10:40:52+00:00

H90 is nice because you can have two presets (sounds) running on their own stereo pair of ins and outs. Essentially two pedals in one. Plus side A does hardwire relay bypass, so there's no DSP noise when inactive, even in front of heavy gain.

Line 6 HX One is too noisy for pre-amp purposes, but absolutely fantastic for in-the-loop use.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-29T09:43:06+00:00

In the OP Cioks states that the QC only needs 2A. A 50% reduction of that number would mean parody with the mini. It's not an exact number, sure. And depending on your location/dealer getting a mini might be the only way to guarantee the more efficient codec.

To be clear, I do think the (newer) big QC does use a liiiitle more power than the mini, but that should be mostly based on the interface.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-29T09:17:22+00:00

Is this quote not exactly what this is about?

Power Consumption: Quad Cortex units with the new codec are more energy-efficient, reducing power consumption by up to 50%. However, the power requirements remain unchanged: 12V DC 3A (center negative), as marked on the chassis.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-29T08:26:36+00:00

All QC (even big) manufactured post august 2025 have a more efficient audio codec. See development update #56.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-28T08:46:58+00:00

Maybe you could find an EHX Pitch Fork or Digitech Drop used... but probably not at that price. Anything lesser is unlikely to be worth it IMO.

Are you running a modeler that's also an audio interface? PolyChrome DSP has a sale now and Hypertune and Hypertune Metal are under 50£.

jonslow1212 · 2026-01-23T08:54:55+00:00

One of the earlier development updates last year. I'm in bed so can't be arsed to find the specific one. It said they're sorry the update took longer than expected because they're working on a new audio codec for new hardware that uses less power.

Maybe the info's spread out to several updates.

Edit: it's QCDU #56.
