Re: IN LIMBO
Nice demo! I particularly love the plugs for the Nelson and Velcrobot in a demo of a totally different pedal. Gotta respect that.

Re: IN LIMBO
In Limbo is in the house. My house!
I've had about 15 minutes with it so far, I'm digging it. Nice sound, the sine wave modulation is just right imo and arp seems like a lot of fun but I'm not convinced I understand it, haven't explored much of the rest of it in as much depth. Generally high marks, I'm looking forward to trying it with some other pedals!

In Limbo is also in my house! Lots to learn and experiment with!

Re: IN LIMBO
Just got back to civilisation. Been in the Sahara(Morocco). Travelling has been so much fun but still excited about getting back into designing pedals when I get back home. Just three more weeks of mostly the UK left to go.
Thanks dudes for doing those demos. They're all really rad.
Apologies for the instructions with the tourbox they aren't that clear I wrote them in a bit of a hurry, hopefully by experimenting it should make sense to people.

I found the instructions to be pretty helpful. Love that you don't have to open the pedal up to change the expression control parameter. Everything is very well designed

Re: IN LIMBO
Yeah when I first saw the instructions I misread it and was really disappointed that you had to open it up to change that. But you don't! The design is amazing.
Sad times, one of the adapter I'm using, the power supply in the tourbox, or the pedal is not working. Worked fine when I first plugged it in but since then I can't get it to work. I'm going to buy a new power supply to try that. Nothing actually happened between the two times so I'm assuming the fuse in the shitty adapter I got blew or something else that doesn't matter. Don't worry, I'll sort this out!

Re: IN LIMBO
Does it need a special adapter / voltage / polarity then?

Re: IN LIMBO
You can try it on a normal 9v the delay will distort really easily and be really quiet but it should otherwise work?
It's not the 2.1mm adapter being dodgy? If you wiggle it does it go?
Hopefully nothing serious. I'm scared now haha.

Needs 15v boss style -ve tip. Anything 15-24v dc -ve tip is okay. Current draw about 100ma.

Re: IN LIMBO
So EHX DMM style will work (24V, reverse polarity)?
In that case I'd be able to try it with my PP2+ if monkeydancer doesn't get it going, otherwise I wouldn't know how to try it either.

Re: IN LIMBO
There's a few different dmm power supplies. The dmm xo is the wrong polarity but otherwise ok if you reversed the polarity. The dmm tap is just standard 9v boss style I think.

Re: IN LIMBO
I know I know, so no reverse polarity hey, okay, then I don't have a way of trying out the pedal either if monkeydancer doesn't get it running I'm afraid.

Re: IN LIMBO
Don't fret folks, panic over it works with my 9V, it's just the power supply or my adapter. Also it sounds interesting with 9V! Really distorted/ring mod-like repeat, pretty cool.
So what I will do is try to buy a new power supply so I can try it out properly, then I'll send both power supplies on to Tristan. Sorry to worry everyone!

Re: IN LIMBO
Good to know, I'm thinking, I forgot about it but I might actually be able to feed it if my Cioks Ciokolate gets here in time.

Re: IN LIMBO
That power supply was just brand new. That's really lame if it's the problem. Hopefully it wasn't too much trouble to get a replacement.
