Today i discovered that I have a power issue , being the cheap power supply I used in my pedal board is not suitable for my current needs. Upgrades are on the horizon. Thanks for the cool pedal content Janek .
A parallel loop is notorious for some slight delay that will cause some phase issues when mixed with a dry sound. It was this way with my guitar amps. Parallel loops are meant for time based effects at 100% wet. I'd just try to work a serial routing with the FX loop or add some very small ms delay to the dry signal to see if that can align it with the fx loop..
Ha!!! The expression pedal on the Franta Bit sounds bonkers! Definitely gotta try that w/mine. I know you mentioned this a while back. I think it was a reply to a comment I had left, it'd be awesome to see a video on the Iron Ether stuff. The FMeron and Franta Bit are 2 that I'm chipping away at. The Xerograph rules as well. That dude is brilliant, such great pedals! OH, one of the people I make music with described the "Obliterate" side of Frantabit as "The sound of robots fighting!"
Foot room is always my thing. I’m a UK size 13 and this has killed compact pedalboards for me. Thinking of going down the switcher pedal road, but I want to stay individual stomp and not go back to programming and grouping. Thanks for the video, always gives me food for thought. Keep them coming 😀
You could get a Mission Engineering Expressionator and Shnobel volume/expression box that way you only need one Dunlop Mini DVDP pedal. Take the in out & expression in to the shnobel send the expression to the Mission Engineering which gives you 3 separate expression outs to 3 different pedals
You gotta check out the KMA Machines Endgame. You can make mono pedals in to Stereo with this bit of dual DI’s, blue tooth it’s a mega utility box. I definitely getting one. You should also check the Red Panda Radius might wrong better in the loop than the Ottobit Jr and the Source Audio Artifatk which is another brand pedal with bitcrushing & sample rate reducing
Were you not using the Swiss Things for your parallel loop requirements at one point. Looks like it shouldn’t have the phasing issues, but I assume there was some other shortcoming. Anyway, I always keep up with the pod and am working my way through several of your e-books, which are my favourites from an embarrassingly large and otherwise underutilised collection. Thanks for all of it, and cheers from New Zealand!
@@GrowlerBox I was using the Swiss things, but it was mono and almost twice the size… I guess it was analogue though, and digital seems to be the issue
@@janekgwizdala I am in no wise a Luddite, but I have to say I'm happier with my effects since abandoning the digital stuff. The immediacy and "foolproofness" (a necessity for this fool) outweigh the admittedly enormous flexibility of digital in my little world. Even my reverb is a spring tank type (take a look at Echo Fix from Australia if you have a chance, their reverb and chorus/vibrato are gorgeous and front-centre for me). We're in different universes, though, so I will watch you achieve your ends with interest, even if I have no hope of emulating them :)
On this thing of Phase/Loop discrepancy, isn't the loop of the box, digital? It's a tiny digital mixer, no? If you are using a digital effect in the loop, you're adding more latency. Maybe the manufacturer was assuming you were using digital/non-dry stuff? I dunno. Digitally controlled analog matrix switchers are a better idea. The Sound Sculpture Switchblade 8F of the Morningstar ML 10X come to mind.
Apologies if multiple messages keep appearing from me banging on about the Franklin SS6, but from my end the comment keeps disappearing or never makes it here at all . . .

Podcast 299!!! What’s on tap for 300??!! Go Janek go!
Great episode! Always crazy good but it's never less than wonderful when you spend time talking pedals... thanks!
I love process videos. Thanks for taking the time to share. 🙌

The video going out reminded me of the opening credits to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The Franklin SS6 stereo switcher with dual DI outputs might be a help for your stereo board?

Love the album !
Keith McMillen SoftStep 3 have a look at this for the midi controller.
I’ll show you what FedEx did with my pedalboard, so you know what a disaster looks like 😂
