Members DigiTechRep Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I agree with everything you wrote Craig. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this review. I never really participated on greater HC before this review but now I feel like a regular on many of the fora. I've been participating in a professional and personal capacity on many boards over the years, I used to do tech support for dbx on the old VS88 board and Gearslutz back in the day. But this is the first time I've ever become so involved in a thread. It has been an incredible experience. As I have mentioned earlier, I will be monitoring the thread here and the new User Group over on TGP. I also have been in close contact will several of the participants of this thread and I plan for that to continue. Thanks everybody and thanks Craig!

Well stated. And I think we all agree that "somewhere", it's important to have a user group forum for ongoing disccussion. So if this (great) thread is not intended for that purpose, and as the DigitTech.com forum is not ready for prime time, then the TGP threads do seem to remain the logical place for those discussions. So all is good. Originally Posted by Anderton ... .... I would like to edit this thread down to remove duplicate comments, whining from people with strange agendas, wish list requests that are repeated multiple times, and some comments that are no longer relevant now that there's an update, and turn this into more of a reference. Yup good idea - ok with me. Let me know how this affects thread referecnes, as the Ready Reference site links back to specific posts. I can fix them without too much effort if you let me know old and new numbers. Originally Posted by Anderton ...

Actually , per an earlier post, replicating HC threads to TGP was never my intent ;it was only a brief consideration if this thread was ever to be removed. Originally Posted by Anderton ... As to whether to close this thread or not, I do not want to do that. It does have a particular personality with a particular focus..... Agree completely. I personal found it to be invaluable.

This thread has a particular focus. Yup good idea and fine with me. Originally Posted by Anderton ... The TGP threads are fine, but by their very nature they tend to sprawl over a variety of topics. As an analogy, this is like a workshop; TGP's threads are like a cocktail party, with bunches of people talking about different things. I think there's room for both, and DigiTechRep can just duck in from time to time, take the pulse of the two venues, and contribute when he has time. I agree both can co-exist. Not sure the TGP thread are spralwing jsut yet, but they are set up such that new threads can easiy be establshed. We currently have:DigiTech iPB-10 User Forum - General discussionDigiTech iPB-10 User Forum - Shared PatchesDigiTech iPB-10 User Forum - Ready Reference ..and new ones, as needed, can easily be added, ieDigiTech iPB-10 User Forum - Gig BagsDigiTech iPB-10 User Forum - OnSongetc. Originally Posted by Anderton ... Overall, I think DigiTechRep's time might be better spent over at TGP (either as a lurker or contributor) as really, the "review" part here is pretty much complete, and the TGP forums might provide a better option for a continuing dialog with users. ...

Hmmm...that's going to be kind of messy to figure out, as any deletion of any post rearranges the numbers. However, if you can tell me the FIRST post that's referenced (I hope it's later in the thread!!), then I can keep track of how many posts were deleted prior to that post, and then just decrement the post numbers. Similarly, if I know the last post that's referenced, any posts beyond that point can be removed and I won't have to be concerned about messing up the references.

I'll work with ya.The post sI am referring to are thoes assoicated with the limk called "Patch" in the shared patch area, ie here:http://ipb.mediamanhost.com/docs/ipb...by_Artist.htmlSo for example the Lonely Boy URL point to this post :http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...1#post46772901I have extracted the "p=" numbers for you (46772901 in this case) for all the patches, as I can see it in the URL.

Members Nazgul6 Posted November 16, 2012 Members Share Posted November 16, 2012 Alright, I am really interested in this product and just stumbled onto this thread. I read like the 1st 40 pages but I do have some questions and don't want to read the next 60 just yet (actually I do want to read them, I'm just impatient) so excuse me if these questions have been asked already. I was initially interested in a device to maintain the current tone of my 6505+ head and the RP series and the GSP1101 really caught my eye for this, but the more I hear I think I might be able to use this device for all of my sounds. SO my question is, if go onstage (I play in a Dio tribute band) and plug this into say a Marshall 100/100 power amp, will that give me a oncvincing live tone? I mean Mustaine plays the GSP in a similar setup. Aside from delay spillover and some cab sim options, is the core tone of this unit as good as the GSP1101 for live use through a pweramp? Also, my main computer is an iMac. Does that present a problem? Thanks for completely awesome thread. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murraymuzza Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hello MikeI use a Macbook pro for my backing into a allen heath mixer with a USB cable , then out of my iPB10 , XLR outs into 2 channels of the allen heath , I plug a magicstomp into the stomp loop for my Shadows delays , I play Shadows covers + 60s 70s 80s covers , the sounds I get out of the iPB10 are pretty convincing to me and I get plenty of work so the sounds must be convincing to others as well , the only thing missing for me that the iPB10 can't produce is multiple delays , and i really really would like them in the next update . hope this helps . best regards Murray.

Members GSprunk Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 I have a relatable question. I find that when I am using the volume pedal and press down to go to wah the volume on the wah goes to the highest setting. Is like I am incerasing the volume pressing down to switch to wah. Am I am idiot and now know what to do here? Ive tried different speeds. I want to have both pedals availabel. I love the ipb10 but two seperate physical pedals seem to be a must. Is there something Im not getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GSprunk Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 This is nice. A quick add on here. As a 50 year old guitar player, I would love to have the ipad screen better utilized, its hard for me to see the screen clearly on the ipad, I love the idea of the companion interface. However, when playing live I take my SKB board with the seperate volume and wahs and easier to see pedals with me. Realy dont want to. Keep up the good work.

In the pedalboard view, maybe they can provide a "fullscreen" option which takes everything away except for the assigned pedals and makes them bigger in the process.

Members tombo007 Posted November 30, 2012 Members Share Posted November 30, 2012 I tried to go back to my HD500, I'm back to the IPB-10, it sounds better to me going direct. The stomp boxes are more like the real thing and the delays were cleaner and more responsive. Happy to be back. I selling the HD500 to my bass player Now I have my IPB, DL1608 and Onsong on my Ipad for my gigs, all at my finger tips! Everything works great!

Hi LandonC,As I mentioned to you previously via PM: In talking with the engineers on this project it is looking like a change to the chassis will be the solution to this issue.

I will keep you informed as to when this solution is solidified. Could you clarify what you mean by "change to the chassis"? Does that translate into me whipping out some power tools and following a modification diagram you provide to hack up the pedal, buying a new pedal with a new chassis, or buying a part of any kind to make this thing work? If so, how much are we talking here?I thought the entire reason you guys designed the connector cable the way you did was so that you could provide a new connector cable when necessary. Why would you not do this rather than changing the chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LandonC Posted December 2, 2012 Members Share Posted December 2, 2012 Another beef with this pedal on something I can't figure out. I hook it up USB. I set my iMac sound settings to use the IPB-10 for input and output. The volume controls for the iMac then go dead, and I can't hear any sound output through my studio monitors (which I have hooked direct to the pedal). Now, I've done this with the POD HD500 and the BOSS GT-100 without issue. I thought I read the USB connection support sound going in both directions does it not? I tried this in windows also just to be sure. Any help would be appreciated. To clarify a bit more, I can still hear my guitar but I can't hear anything playing from my iMac like iTunes for example. Or, I frequently used this setup with other pedals so i could use Guitar Rig 5, aka as an audio interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpaceAceOne Posted December 2, 2012 Members Share Posted December 2, 2012 Goodbye folks, I will now leave you here as I have sold my iPB-10 today... In case you'll stick to the device I wish Digitech gives you lasting support for it. It was nice walking a part of the road with you all. Take care.

This "lightning" connector change seems to be quite the mess. I've been handling news releases for HC the past couple weeks, and quite a few are dedicated to "our device is now compatible with lightning," or "our device is slated to be compatible with lighting," or "we're currently working on lightning compatibility." The one thing that seems fairly certain is that Apple is making quite a few $$ on adapter cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, I frequently used this setup with other pedals so i could use Guitar Rig 5, aka as an audio interface. I tend to use Windows more, but wouldn't aggregating the iPB-10 with the existing Mac I/O do the job? The Mac does aggregation really well these days. There's an article in Harmony Central's library on aggregation basics for both Mac and Windows. If that's not what will solve your problem, I need a little better idea of exactly what it is you want to accomplish. Is it that you wan to use the iPB-10 as your sole interface, and mix its output along with the output of something playing from within the Mac? If so, also remember that under the iPB-10’s Settings, you can adjust the ratio of what you’re hearing from the DAW’s output via USB (or the output of any other program you’re running where you can assign the outputs), and what’s coming from the iPB-10. If you monitor from the iPB-10, you essentially get zero-latency monitoring with effects, because you’re listening to the iPB-10 output—not monitoring through the computer. Typically, for this mode, you’d turn off the DAW track’s input echo (also called input monitor), and set the iPB-10 XLR Mix slider for 50% USB and 50% iPB-10. (If you’re monitoring from the 1/4” outs, choose the 1/4” Mix slider). Then, you’ll hear your DAW tracks from the USB side, and your guitar—with zero latency and any iPB-10 processing—from the iPB-10 side. If your computer is fast enough that latency isn’t an issue, then you can monitor solely via USB, and turn on your DAW’s input monitoring/input echo to monitor your guitar through the computer. This lets you hear the guitar through any plug-ins inserted into your guitar’s DAW track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
