Dimehead NAM Player

[Ed DeGenaro]

No. Can't load multiple captures within one preset. No endless encoders. And it's too big anway.
Or are you talking about the Dimehead pedal?

I was talking about your proposed pedal.

Hm...

Is that really the bigger Tonex you’re describing if you stay in the same preset.

I didn't say anything about staying in the same preset.

with genuine MIDI patch switching

I only said this:

an autosave option (patch stays at the same settings you called up the last time)

Because I just don't want to resave, no matter how easy it is. In a busy soundcheck context I just want to adjust and keep going, not resave anything.
The Tonex One along with the Pirate MIDI Controller does that very well.

This is what I was asking about.

Yeah, I meant all it should be able to do was loading a single NAM capture at any time. No mutliple captures, no FX, just the raw NAM capture with some EQ-ing options. Obviously, one should still be able to load multiple patches.

I reckon you might enjoy the current Dimehead NAM Player - it probably takes the same space up on a board as your 3 x tonex pedals.
It's a pretty amazing unit - I can't recommend it highly enough.
Ok, it doesn't have everything YOU want, but you can do a heck of a lot with it. . . and if you really don't like it, I guess return it / sell it.

Are they back to shipping to US?

yes - have been since about November -

fwiw I think you may have forgotten but you did see when I posted it here to let people know:

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

So, I just had a quick look and as of right now it should be about €545 to the USA, all told (including shipping and tax).
* but if you are in the USA, I advise you to have a look by adding it to the basket and going to checkout to see the total your end, just in case I'm wrong.

Gosh, I hope the display is bright enough.

I might enjoy it - but I'm not using 3 TXOs on one board, just one (ok, there's two on the big board as I haven't yet decided to order a second Pirate MIDI Pico controller). And it's really all I need with patch switching available.
This is the current small board:

It's incredibly capable for such a small board, really (the awkward basic programming of the GT-1000 aside). And there's absolutely no space for a thing such as the Dimehead (and I wouldn't need anything but one single NAM capture at any time anyway, so all the controls, the screen and what not would go wasted). Let alone it doesn't have the TXO's autosave function (which is really really handy for the way I deal with things).

Seriously, if they came up with a single pedal sized unit with a clever encoder layout for, say, €200-250 (which I think could get them a decent profit margin), I'd instantly buy it. I prefer the NAM ecosystem more than what IK offers with Tonex, especially with the TXO, which requires an extra box for MIDI support, has super tiny pots that aren't endless, etc.
For my needs, it could offer *zero* fuss. Just let me load a NAM capture and EQ it - maybe with two EQs, one pre, one post, then allow me to route whatever EQ controls to 3 BMT encoders (plus global gain and level controls) and I'd be the happiest camper.
Wouldn't need a headphone out, FX or whatsoever, either. Just mono I/O, TRS MIDI, USB C and 9V. OK, maybe BT would be cool to manage the thing wirelessly from your mobile device(s).
I'm sure quite some folks would like such a thing - I mean, you could use it with, say, a Stomp, a VP4, an HX FX, any other small form factor MFX unit, along with your pedalboard (even more so in case you're using MIDI already), etc.

It surely is brighter than you. But that's a pretty low bar to pass.

Not to be snarky but when I had one, unless I was looking at the unit screen just right, it kinda washed out. I know they made a v2 so maybe the screen is better

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

The stage mode is pretty useful... big bold text to see preset names etc.
I've never had any issue with the display anyway.

Golly.

Oh very.
