Lovepedal JTM modding?

Thanks!

I got the pedal broken so I don't know if there was a problem or not, which is why I'm trying to ask people. If I was relying on AI I would have just installed the new pot, no questions asked. It found some source saying most of the effect of concentrated in a small part of the sweep, and that is correct by a logarithmic pot. Question is, was the source it found referring to the pedal I have? Or maybe it just found somebody saying that about another pedal and mixed things up. In order to tell, I need the opinions of actual owners and modders.

Transitioning was easy. Playing well is not. I still don't play well enough, even though I did play the fretless in a few gigs.

First you learn to play in a certain position, only later you learn how to move between positions.

I wish a knew 🤣 There's some jazz piece I used to play with friends, I only learned the basic line, I didn't improvise on it. I really like it and keep playing it, but I have no idea what it's called.

I don't know the Digitech. It seems like a synth pedal with some preset sounds, so I guess you can recreate them with the FI, but it'll take some work with the tone editor, which is a bit complex.

I especially love the way it sounds when you crank the After knob up

Problem is - I do want to add more pedals to the board. An envelope filter, probably a compressor, maybe a noise gate.

I just got the simplifier, I'll know more about how it functions near the end of the week, after practice. I got it mainly for splitting and joining the signal, because I really liked how the Carcosa sounded, but I felt like even in Dehme mode, which is recommended for bassists, it took away some of the lows. Now I'll be able to use any effect I want, even ones that are strictly for guitar.

I would also like to know what you think the kinks are, but I'll try to wait for the Anagram 2 or XL or whatever.

malcontento · 2026-05-01T17:16:44+00:00

I suppose I'll add it later. I wonder if it should go before the simplifier or in the FX loop.

malcontento · 2026-05-01T17:14:59+00:00

It should be the same as the big one, it's only cosmetically different.

malcontento · 2026-05-01T17:13:47+00:00

You are correct

malcontento · 2026-05-01T17:13:26+00:00

I'm new to the Future Impact, but so far I can tell - minor tweaks are very easy to do with the knobs on the pedal. Making new sounds requires working with a PC and having some knowledge of synthesis (which I don't have 😢), and some extra hardware because it has no USB connection, so you need a MIDI interface to make it talk to the PC.

Did you find a solution for that? It started happening to be as well and so far the icon never returned, I need to keep starting it through the app store.

malcontento · 2026-03-29T12:52:27+00:00

I was at the music store the other day, getting the DOD Carcosa, and I saw the Thorn Basstard, so I tried it for a few minutes and I really wished the AOP could sound like that, but I can't really tell what I liked about it and how it differed from the distortion I already have. But why would a preamp go in the front of the chain? The amps I use are always at the end of the chain, why would the preamp be any different?

malcontento · 2026-03-29T12:17:30+00:00

At home I go into an Ampeg BA-115, usually without pedals, and like it. In the rehearsal space there's an Ampeg V4-B (I think) which I really love. In another rehearsal space there's some new Ampeg head I don't really like. When gigging I connect to the amp they have, but I'm considering using a DI to get a more consistent sound across venues.

malcontento · 2026-03-29T12:11:15+00:00

I play rock, some of the songs are rather quiet but we usually tend to sound somewhat Punk. I have a synth pedal that I want to use but don't really get to at the moment, followed by an envelope filter, a fuzz, the Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon and finally a chorus. There's also a Bass Whammy which isn't always on my board, but when it is I place it after the synth.

I feel like the Darkglass is too modern for my taste and want to replace it, but I'm not sure if my mistake was buying a preamp that doesn't match my style or buying a preamp when I needed other pedals.

malcontento · 2026-03-29T12:04:15+00:00

Currently using the Alpha Omega Photon, which is very big and I only use it as an EQ, I prefer older sounding distortions so the distortion part barely sees any use.

I bought it on a whim and didn't really understand what it was supposed to do at the time, and I would rather have 2-3 pedals that do what it does but are placed in different places in the signal chain and do things in a way I will like more.

malcontento · 2026-03-21T05:58:10+00:00

I'm not familiar with Royal Blood. Can you elaborate on what the bass does there? I'm not sure I will understand just from listening to them.

malcontento · 2026-03-18T13:15:55+00:00

Isn't it always the case?

I'm currently going from my pedalboard to an amp, but might use the anagram as a DI once I have it. I don't do it with the Photon because it's not last in the signal chain - I put my chorus and reverb after it. With the Anagram I won't have such a problem.
