It's insane that the pedal has amazing effects on it and yet the worst software imaginable, in a time where there's so many effects pedals with outstanding software components. Its a total afterthought. The X3 and X5, you don't even need the software, but the X1 requires it.defendyachtrock wrote: Wed May 07, 2025 11:01 pm Plethora X1 has arrived and I’ve spent the last couple hours fooling around on it.
While I like it so far, there’s certain things about the Toneprint system’s quirks that are, uh, bemusing I guess. Toneprint’s editing abilities are very, very extensive, intimidatingly so. The effects themselves seem to be frozen in amber, insofar as they don’t seem to have anything new past whenever their last update was. Oh cool, the Tap Tremolo has a weird kinda randomizy LFO feature! Oh, that can’t be applied to the Shaker vibrato for some reason. I don’t know if I’m explaining that the way I want to get across. In any case, so far it does what I want and I’ve already made several song-specific patches for it. I’m probably gonna have to put the Multistomp back on the board though, as it’s probably not a good idea to put a pedal that hasn’t been practice-tested on my board in time for my band’s next show, which is… uh… this Friday.
The Infinite Sustainer is really cool. Will need to practice on it though.
Firmware update was a bitch, though what digital product isn’t.
Anyway, awesome pedal, totally worth the hassle.
