The BitQuest! September 2014

I still need to

I have a question about the BitQuest, I was just wondering how does the Dirty/Clean aspect of the pedal work?
Say if I'm running an OD into the pedal, which is pretty clean but has abit of grit and saturation, I'd imagine I'd probably go for the clean setting?
I'd imagine experimenting with the two settings could produce some interesting sounds!

Sorry for not catching this question earlier! I missed some stuff when we moved, catching up though! *apologies*

You don't have to use the dirty side of the BitQuest at all, you can just use it with your own dirt pedals and the clean patches and leave it like that. The dirty side is an adventurous digital fuzz that can do overdrive as well, it's got an unobtrusive digital noise gate on it, and the master volume controls it so you can have it be nice and quiet if you want.

I think you should experiment a bit with the dirty side for sure, the digital fuzz is cool sounding! *smile*

I may be cooking up a demo with the dirty side...

Because distortion.

I'm wondering if the iso5 18v input is enough draw for it

[goroth]

You need 75mA.

[blakestree]

Website says it's 150mA on 18V.

Sorry, it made no mention of it in my old manual.

Sorry for the confusion there dudes! The BQ needs 75mA at 9VDC, 150mA at 18VDC. If your supply is a little lower you can still give it a try, worst case it'll hum and you'll know it's not happy. If it's quiet and works normally then you're all good!

Bitquest needs a colourful update. FOR REAL..MORE RAINBOWS N STUFF

[blakestree]

What about a nice green dragon for the lil' guy to fight?

[Clean Channel]

I'm all for colorful BitQuests! Someone out there got the bright idea to ask Ryan for Skittles knobs during the preorder, and when I saw the result, I had them put on my BQ too. All those colors just seem appropriate for such a feature-packed pedal.

I still love my BitQuest as much as the day I got it. Such a brilliantly designed pedal!
