Thank you! Will definitely check these out!!!

I uploaded some more patches to take the total to 38 and since then I've made another 11 which I'll upload soon.

Quite a number of them are variations on a theme, but I think most are distinctive enough to be considered worthy of being a separate patch.

There's a new update which I haven't tried yet which introduces a new module - I'm waiting to make sure the update is considered stable before I bother finding out how updating is done

Thanks for the patches! The random freeze is nice.

The new firmware doesn't have any issues that I've found. The new module is CV v/oct to external MIDI, which I don't have a use for at the moment. The firmware also introduces the ability to interconnect audio and CV, which seems promising if I can figure it out. I've tried a few connections, with ambiguous results.

yeah, the updates come fast and regular. Best get used to making them. I'll have to snag the latest. I have found that each update really improves things, and if buggy, Loki is quick to fix if you report it. I have a headphone amp hooked up to my Beebo and the Beebo on a stand so I can learn to use it better. It's crazy powerful...I finally got through browsing all the modules and exploring more of the controllers.

I've just added a 4th folder to my patches, bringing the total up to 70 (of variable usefulness, as you would expect )

I have to email Loki and get my preset issue worked out. Wanna check your stuff out.

I've been busy since my last post - there are now 240 patches available, which I've spent the last couple of days tweaking to balance the volume levels and make a few improvements to some of the older patches based on things I've learned while making more recent ones.

Here's a link to the updated versions.

I'm going try making some Zoia patches now - a lot more complicated but I hope to have a better idea what to do now.

so is this like a beebaa?

The newest firmware adds a Vinyl module, and it's...odd. It can add motor sound, rumble, static, crinkles, crackles, and noise, but in practice all of those sounds just play alongside your guitar sound. It's as though you're playing in a room with a beat-up LP of silence. There's an age parameter that does affect your tone, but it doesn't go very far toward creating an integrated sound.

Yes, I had a quick look at it yesterday and I doubt I'll be doing much with it - you can mix things together and make it sound like you're playing guitar at the seaside, but it doesn't seem much use otherwise.

I'm still trying to get my head around Loopler (and having oodles of fun). I emailed Loki about my preset issue. I really want to wipe them all out and start fresh and check out your work.

Has anyone had success with the preamps and poweramps yet? The bass pre sounds pretty nice and the tube warmth sounds real nice too...but I haven't figured out how the poweramp modelers work yet.

You can delete presets - go to "load preset" and there's a bin icon at the bottom, hold that and tap a preset and it's gone.

I cleared out all the original presets from mine, but the latest firmware update put them all back on again so I had to do it a second time, on three Beebos

Now and again I find a preset gets stuck loading, which I have to delete as if it freezes once it seems like it will freeze every time from then on. The advantage of having more than one unit means I can build an identical patch from scratch by referring to the original - just because a patch refuses to load on one there's no certainty it will fail on another, which is weird.

Clearly being a one man operation where the programming of the unit is constantly changing and can sometimes be a bit hit and miss isn't ideal, but I'm having great fun with it regardless of its shortcomings.

Depends on what you mean by success - I use the power amp super a lot, but only to balance outputs, I turn the gain all the way down to remove any noise and then tweak the main vol. up or down to suit.

It's the same with reverbs, they are regularly discussed due to their usage of the CPU but I don't use them at all (there are a couple of patches I've made which use a reverb module, but only because I wanted to try them out) as if I really want reverb (and I rarely do) I'd rather have a dedicated pedal for that - I use both the Zoias and the Beebos for their uniqueness, not their ability to do absolutely everything.
