10 band programable EQ would be fantastic. (With maybe 12db of boost) Like the Source Audio Programmable EQ or BOSS EQ-200.

That way we can bring our own drive and still modify the sound on the fly with the Plethora for scoops and leads etc........ (Phonebooth sounds, who knows)

Thank You

Also...... Viscus Vibe and Phaser are much/much needed, please make them happen soon.

 

Hello

I own an X5 and was using it in stereo through 2 Quilter Labs Tone Block 200 amps.The MIMIQ when run after preamp pedal (ISP THETA Pre) in the loop, absulutely wrecks the tone of the original signal. Both Left and Right stereo are very harsh. Without MIMIQ still sounded great, clicked MIMIQ on and YIKES!!! Ear Splitter. (No matter what settings on MIMIQ) Before FX loop it still sounded OK (MIMIQ) But that kinda defeats the prupose of the MIMIQ sending different signals (Original and AI enhanced) left and right.

This was one of the big reasons I chose the Plethora X5 in the first place.

I used to use an actual MIMIQ pedal to stereo split my guitar and run into 2 amps. I absolutely love the double tracking AI as it doubles guitar nicely. So I understand how it's supposed to sound/work.

 

 

Hello,

is it possible to power the Spark Boost (4 knobs) with 12VDC supply without damaging the unit?

I want to pair it with a preamp that is 12VDC powered and I would avoid to use two power supply.

 

Thanks,

Luigi

I am in a four piece band where the lead singer can't sing an play guitar at the same time, which means that he only plays guitar when he doesn't sing, e.g. during intros and when we play solos. Therefor I have been using harmonizers for a long time to emulate a second guitar player who is playing 3rd harmoncs when we do parts with guitar harmonies (like Thin Lizzy etc.) and other devices (incl Mimiq) to emulate doubling of rhythm guitars. 

To control all this has been using a slightly complicated MIDI controlled switching system and my rig has developed into somehting you would associate with David Gilmour... and I have been looking for a multi effect unit to simlify my rig consierably but without compromizing too much on the sound. Unfortunatly I couldn't find anything good enough until Plethora X5 was released.

There are tons of good advanced digital effects processors in the market, but what I think sets Plethora X5 apart is how well it can help you to emulate a second guitar player in the band, thanks to the quality of the Harmonizer and the Mimiq doubler, which is exactly what I need.

But most people who use stereo guitars need to switch between stereo and just the main amp (i.e. one amp) for smaller mono sounds. In our case, that would be when the other guitar player plays, but also in songs which sounds better with just one guitar, or where Mimiq doesn't sound right.

But unfortunatly there is no way of getting mono out of Plethoras ourputs when both outputs are connected, which makes everything really complicated for us who are using Plethora in stereo with two amps wide apart in the backline. This means that I can only use PX5 for stereo sounds and then I need to use my existing switch in my old mono effects (which I wanted to eliminate to reduce ths size of the rig) when playing in mono (i.e. with one amp).

A simple additional mono summing stomp box in Plethora X5 with a stereo/mono switch and output level would solve all stereo/mono switching problems and would fit more player who use stereo out to double amps. That would be a good enough sollution even though stereo/mono setting on each stompbox would be more convenient. 

Even players who don't emulate twin guitars sometimes need to switch from huges stereo sounds with modulation, reverb and delays to smaller mono sounds to create contrasts in a song. 

Is there anyone else here who uses Plenthora X5 in stereo or am I the only one...?

Hi. Enjoying the Plethora X5, but unsure on the best way to set up with a Diezel VH4-2 pedal which is going into the effects return (power amp) of my amp. The Diezel pedal has an output direct to amp input when the pedal is off. I’d like the Plethora delays/reverb etc to be after the Diezel so that it is affecting the distorted signal, but I’d also like to be able to use the tuner/modulation effects of the Diezel pedal is off. How would you best set up the Plethora with a distortion pedal in the effects loop (so going into effect loop return/power amp)?

Hello all,

 

I'm a french new Plethora X5 user for 3 days now. Cool device. I'm an old school guy ;-) and play with two pedalboards (one in fornt of the amp, the other in the FX loop) that I want to shrink into one. So I've choosen the plethora cause it's a "pedalboard type" device and because there is no overdrive or distorsion pedal involved (don't need any cause I have already plenty of growl machines). I have been able to recreate my FX loop pedal board in the Plethora so far except for the boost pedal but I planned to keep mine so...

 

1) Like many other guitar player and as classic seventies rock guitar player, I really miss a phaser (Helix) and a univibe type (Viscous Vibe) pedal. I've red that they were planned to be embeded in the 1.2 firmware. So do you have any idea of the 1.2 firmware release date?

 

2) like some other players I would be delighted if the edit pots could in the Play mode be assigned to a parameter choosen by the user. It would allow us to change speed or volume or depth or whatever directly from the Play mode without the need of an expression pedal.

 

3) When it comes too editing you have two solutions:

a) deal with the "not enough" 3 knobs in edit mode

b) deal with the "waaay too much" parameters in the editor software.

Two Notes Audio Engineering has introduced an "Arcade mode" in their Torpedo Software. It's a simplified display of their editor that allows the average guitar player to set up the very same parameters but with less confusing stuff. It's very handy and of course you can switch to advanced mode whenever you want/need and go back and forth between the 2 modes on the fly as you work on the very same preset. Only the display is less or more populated. It would a be good addition to the current user experience in my opinion.

 

4) It woul be great to have very basic toneprints. I understand that some toneprints are there to demonstrate the fx capabilities, that some others fullfill the needs of the artists who has set those up, but I miss those 3 buttons type, like, speed/depth/volume for trem or time/feedback/volume for the delay. Of course I know I can achieve such toneprints myself but it would be so cool to have them at hand as grab n' go fx.

 

So hope this will help. Best regards

I was just watching the andertons video regarding the Ditto+ extended looping function, and they mentioned there was a bit of an issue with a gap between loops due to the loop stopping when you foot went off the pedal instead of when you clicked it - I was wondering if this was a hardware or software issue

Is this possible? I've a new amp with a parallel fx loop and it's not playing well with these digital pedals. To clarify, I'd prefer to kill dry (not just mix to almost 100% wet on the mix pot) so the pedal outputs only a varied level of wet signal? No sign of any internal sliders next to the data cable pins when you remove the side plates and no mention in the manual. Maybe it can be done somehow while in the calibration mode? I have read that these pedals don't have a bypass (buffered or otherwise) and always put the dry though the AD converter even when the effect is switched off, but I've also read a lot of rubbish on the internet so that might not be true? If not possible then I'll need to mod my fx loop to series or buy and sell to get some different pedals. Hopefully someone for TC E. will be able to advise here. If not I'll try and raise a service ticket for an answer. Thanks in advance to any knowledgeable people.
