I had bit of a moan about the small current size a while back and he hinted at something about larger boxes, although I'm not sure that was in direct reference to the Semaphore.

Members hbar Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd be perfectly happy with smaller knobs, and a taller switch. My Octane III has a switch that is about twice as tall at that of the semaphore. It is my only complaint with the semaphore. Despite what anybody says to the contrary, it is very easy to bump the knobs when switching on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimmyc84 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 i ought to be trying one tomorrow. it'd be right at the front of my board so might not be too much of a problem. this is quite interesting though. i'm quite up for buying one but really want to know a bit more about the new ones before i do. like, are they just going to be a bit deeper and not wider. just so you know i'm not talking rubbish, it got mentioned on the tf forums here; http://z6.invisionfree.com/Tone_Factor/index.php?showtopic=578 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrSage Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 "Big Fat American" versions. They're not all going to be in big boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members M900 Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 I read in a thread somewhere how Cat. "will" put the Semaphore is a larger box if requested, but the task of keeping complex pedals in a tiny box is part of what interests him, so I think this is not likely. Catalinbread should chime in sometime. I have a space for a Semaphore or a Seek Trem on my board, but I haven't decided yet. I hope he doesn't change the box before I pick one up! c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimmyc84 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 cool - cheers for posting the pic mr sage! not sure which i'd rather get. obviously the big ones would completely erradicate any knob kicking with the foot.but the little ones are so cute! and take up a bit less room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 The small sized box really is no issue and you're unlikely to bump knobs switching it. ...and I've got size 12 feet. Amercian edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DonaldDemon Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 Oh damn, time to sell the SupaTrem if that is true. The size was the only thing holding me back because of my size 13 clown feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 Maybe all those "bashing" threads finally took hold. The bigger size is definitly a plus for any time-based effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Last Nerve Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think its a bold, yet educating move.I myself posted once that for me, it was just too small.I've got size 13, and I'm not a ballet dancer.Not to say I messed the knobs up on the old one, only that I didn't want to take that chance.Very cool of Nic to listen to feedback. Some love it, some hate it, but you can't please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Not a bad idea. I always seem to turn the gain down on my SCOD with my foot because of the way it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FLYING V 83 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Only thing I'd change is where the led is.Just personal preference, I like to see the light come on when I hit the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is nice, except with stuff like red witch where the superbright LED blinds you for 5 seconds when you turn the pedal on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Originally posted by Fourth Floor Amercian edition. Supersize it for fat bastard feet. I thought my feet were big, but you're one size ahead of me. Taller switches and smaller knobs would be an easy fix I expect. A larger one would allow and extra f/switch which could add the tap option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elliott Damage Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 i may have to buy that. I like larger pedals. If I had my way every pedal would be the size of a Barber pedal. still freaking love my semaphore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
