i have to have it before the drives though
Even though many say it's intuitive, this old dinosaur still felt a bit 'death by digital menus' and the manual scared me. But to put it in context, I have not and probably will never own a Strymon pedal and prefer pedals with no more than three knobs! Shocking at 42! I think maybe the simple, analog thing is engrained in my soul.
The other thing that bothered me was the bypass tone. It's somewhat bright and harsh compared to plugging straight into your valve amp. I had better luck setting the input to 'line' rather than 'instrument'.
Hmmm, I love the idea of this unit, but I'm not sure I can give up the feel of my analog pedals. Digital stuff just makes me feel a bit sterile, for want of a better word. I'll probably feel different tomorrow though, such is the finickity nature of tone! The idea of buying an expensive, programmable looper and more patch cables depresses me though...
Was generally happy with it. I do run a couple external drives and a wah but some of the hx drives are growing on me. Still dont think its as good as my other pedal board but its getting closer
I've been asking for this exact product for ages... and now it exists, I've realised I use hardly any FX anymore...
I still want it. But in full "never freakin' satisfied bellend mode" am thinking.. what if they did an equivalent 'M5/H9' version ? Stereo I/O or Pre/post routing. no additional loops, maybe just 2 or 3 buttons, with the ability for 2 or 3 FX at one time?
I'm sure @digital_igloo will deny it'll ever happen, much like the HXeffects
By the way, Ive found a dirt cheap lovely quality case for mine...
Amazon basics - only £13.49 ! Fts superbly.
