Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
It seems to be difficult to get hold of a Bitquest! at the moment, will there be a new batch released in the near future?

Try "Axe ... And You Shall Receive". As of today, they had some, or at least one.

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
I honestly think the Bitquest is pretty fucking perfect as is. Now if Ryan made a Super Bitquest, with more options in a bigger case. That would be killer! Maybe a freeze momentary switch that you could use to create crazy ambience and oscillation. Or a stomp to use the dirt second instead of a switch would be awesome IMO. So you could just flip flop and not have to wait.
But it's a killer pedal.

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
Thats a good idea Jwar - but there'd have to be a clean side volume and a dirty side volume. With great gain comes great responsibility.

Thanks for the tip-off! Unfortunately the shipping costs are a bit prohibitive as I'm in Europe.

In stock, and in Europe. And the dude posts here and seems rad (for a Dane)

Hey I'm cool with that! I think it'd be awesome!!! Maybe a master volume and a dirt volume? Mostly like would have to tweak the circuit quite a bit.

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
In a 125b I don't think it would work. But in a larger enclosure for sure. I think you'd need a 4pdt but you could change the volume pot and switch to the dirty side with one stomp.
Another possibility that would be doable would be ditching the dirty side (i know right?) and having one side with expression control over control 1 and the other with expression over control 2. Pretty sure the expression control is hardwired which means it is non-assignable. But you could jumble the order of the digital knobs. Which in a way would kind of give you presets. In a crude way. L
Meh. I love the BQ.

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
Yeah, worth just mentioning in this thread: The BQ as it is now is absolutely brilliant. So much so that I never really grasped just how incredibly useful it'd be until I had one. I use it more than I ever imagined and works and sounds beautifully!

I think 2 BitQuests would be more useful than a dual, but you are the king of duallies. I'd prefer them as bookends. Now, if you built a dual BQ with separate in and out jacks for each side...

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
Ryan is working on some. Not sure if those are just the euros, though...

Re: Perfecting The Bitquest
It is an amazing pedal as is but as I've said before, midi/presets would take it over the top! Being able to harness all of the awesome and control it would be amazing. But it's still cool being controlled by the BQ too.
