I haz to find gold to pay them

Sorry to hear that GigHearts mine slipped under their radar, they are bastards, it's very rare I get anything from outside the EU that they don't charge me up the wazoo for! But it is worth the gold!
Shouldn't you be paying them in Bit-Coin???

Gold+1 delivered to prison guard.
Bitquest! released!

Oh Lord. BitQuest. Seriously.
Some amazing sounds in here. Stuff I never expected to hear at all.

This sums up my first 30 minutes.
- My girlfriend described the reverb as "beautiful" after about the 3rd note straight out the box.
- I found a really really great "drifting" modulated delay. That thing can go super crazy too, its reminding me of the Panda Particle I just picked up a lot (see pic below for settings)
- The ring mod can do an awesome tremolo, and the reverb on this patch is great too.
- Filters are smooth! Notch sounds lovely, like an envlope phaser on some settings
- The Flanger does some really nice sounds. Moreso to me than all the other sounds here, you definitely hear/tell its digital, which is the only drawback I spose.
- I'll be honest I dont really love the distortion; its really loud and obnoxious, but that'll be a major pro for a lot of guys here. I knew up front I wasnt gonna love that side of the pedal though.

Also in the box was a beaut tshirt! and many plectrums! and a FrazzDazzler!
I really dig the voicing of the FrazzDazzler. Sustain on this thing is ridiculous.

Awesome NPD!

Awesome pedal, great job!

Honestly I think that was the way to go with this pedal as you have the Elements (which can do anything but in my case is doing OD and Chunka-chunka Morbid Angel distortion) and the Frazz is just a super unique fuzz, as you pointed out. So the digital distortion doesn't really overlap with either of them, which is cool. I dunno if I would have wanted "the Elements + 8 effects" - it'd make the Elements redundant.

Oh yeah, I totally bought Patrick's Cheese Source. So pumped to a) play and and b) admire the guts

the guts are not very admirable Im afraid, thats an early build of mine on perf and vero

The perf is my own layout..tried once...never doing perf again!

Back on topic, I agree the fuzz on the bitquest is unique alongside the frazz and elements so its a success in that respect. Im sure 99% of people here will dig it hard

My first 30 minutes.

-holy crap it came!
-holy crap I'm playing it!
-holy crap I'm reading the manual!
-holy crap! I LOVE IT!!!!!!


I will say this. I do like it better without the distortion, but with the distortion it's almost like a completely different pedal. This is the coolest multi pedal ever! This plus The Elements, plus ILFDD, plus Cosmi v.3=heaven!

UGH! So happy!

tomorrow...bq...will...be..home.

I love the distortion on it sooooo much, I've been running the wolf computer into it and it's glorious! My favorite thing so far is to use the filter setting to scoop out the mids and then have the wolf computer push the mids using the blend control. It's so nice and thick, with tons of weird digital sounding artifacts. The ringmod setting is pure pain in the best possible way in the dirt setting, and so haunting with that reverb in the clean setting. Really everything is soooooo well thought out. It's endlessly delightful!

So far my only complaint is there aren't presets and the distortion's not footswitcheable. Considering what this boundlessly beastly pedal can do, those are pretty small complaints.

I honestly think Ryan should consider a BitEpic with two BQs in one enclosure, foot switchable to run series or parallel. And/or putting a se in ctrl1 and 2 on and making them switchable.

Love this pedal!

How did you manage to get a black gloss one man

Via the filter function on twitter...

Mine is really dull grey. It's awesome. But the photo sucked in colour as the light was too yellow.
