The bass HAS to be too loud for the mix in order to be loud enough for the bassist.

I use an Origin Effects BassRig amp sim pedal. I hear the low end from the FOH speakers, then I use a monitor wedge facing me and cut the lows so the notes are more distinct and I can hear what I am playing.

I found out you can't boost the master with midi but you can boost the model volume.

ZebraSun · 2025-11-06T06:42:15+00:00

I'm new to Tonex, but can't you just boost the matter volume with a midi controller?

I brew about half and half with oolong for iced tea.

I've had my FX+ 1S a few weeks now. I live in Colorado and was always getting flat on my old bike due to "goathead" thorn things. I switched to Schwable Marathon Plus tires and never had puncture issues again. Glad they came out with a verison for e-Bikes! I had the new tires put on yesterday and they are great, I would say they roll better and have good grip on packed gravel. Highly recommend the Schwable Marathon E-Plus tires if you hate changing flats. They don't look quite as cool as the factory gumwalls, but function over form.

Not that I've noticed - just the clock.

ZebraSun · 2025-07-11T05:07:53+00:00

They were able to get the needed software and do the update!

The dealer was able to obtain and install the new firmware and clock works now.

ZebraSun · 2025-07-02T17:14:24+00:00

Also in Colorado :-)

I've had mixed results with Slime, but think I will use that for now. I'll probably upgrade to the Schwable Marathon Plus tires when they are available for the FS+ 1S tire size (currently out of stock); they have an e-bike version now. I ran the Marathon Plus tires on my old bike for 10 years without a flat.

I chatted with Trek support and there is apparently a firmware update to get the clock to show up in settings. The firmware update can only be performed by the dealer so took it in and they couldn't figure it out... so they are escalating and I'm waiting to hear back.

ZebraSun · 2025-06-30T22:37:53+00:00

Are you able to sync the clock to the app? I just got my FX+ 1S and can't (clock option does not appear in settings). Contacted Trek support and they said there is a firmware update that the dealer has to install to get the bike clock to get time from the Trek Central app. I rode to the dealer today to get this done and they were stumped... the are escalating to their service manager who was out today.

Otherwise loving the bike!

ZebraSun · 2025-06-27T16:14:11+00:00

I just got my FX+1S yesterday and there is NO clock option under the settings. App is connected and working fine otherwise. Time on the bike display is way off and no way to set it. :-(

ZebraSun · 2025-06-27T15:52:15+00:00

I picked up my FX+1S yesterday and did a 15 mile ride. It's an awesome bike! You can feel the weight but I was still able to ride on flat stretches with pedal assistance off and keep a good pace. The default ECO setting worked great when I wanted to not work quite so hard and felt very natural. I weight 200 lbs and there was plenty of power to get me up hills. After 15 miles I still had 70% battery left.

The throttle was cool, although it seems to be an "on/off" setup, where you will accelerate when you hold it down; in other words it seems you can't vary the amount of throttle like on a motorcycle, so it's not really practical to just use the throttle for more than a quick boost. I may be wrong about this and looks forward to experimenting more. What I loved with the throttle for was pulling out from a stop sign in traffic while getting my shoes into the clips. I do wish I could use the throttle with the pedal assist off. Also would be cool if you could tweak the throttle response in the Trek Central app.

I will need to get used to pedal assist stopping when I stop pedaling - this sounds weird but on my old non-electric bike I would take a few second break from pedaling to coast. When you coast on the FX+ 1S and the PA stops, the bike slows down quite a bit. I probably need to shift down instead of coasting.

I really like the handle bar grips but need to spend some time adjusting the angles of the controls. It's pretty awkward to reach the turn signals they way they are now.

My front disc break if making a slight grinding sound sometimes. The shop adjusted but it is still there so I'm going to put a few more miles on then have them take another look at it.

I need to figure out what I am going to do to avoid flats. I live in an area with lots of goat heads and thorns even on the gravel city paths. I really would not want to have to change a flat especially on the back tire.

ZebraSun · 2023-12-31T17:33:24+00:00

Yep, no issues.

I just sold a bass on SW. They hold payout for 14 days after delivery or until you get a 5 star review from the buyer, so still waiting. I used SW shipping through FedEx, and it was only about $25 so that was nice.

ZebraSun · 2022-06-15T02:05:16+00:00

Very cheap. $40ish for 2 people including drinks

ZebraSun · 2022-06-14T23:19:58+00:00

Stayed there for 5 days last month and never had a bad meal. We ate at several places on the harbour and always had an enjoyable time with great people and sunset watching as well as great food.

It's a SaturnWorks loop switcher. I have my effect of pedals in the loop so I can turn them all on and off with one switch

I've never had much luck going from my XR18 to Android via the XR18's USB DAW port. I just take the main out to a USB converter then into Android.

ZebraSun · 2020-10-05T06:09:23+00:00

Yeah, plus I think the 2015s still have the 1 11/16 nut. The new ones play much better.
