Frequently asked questions.
What's kind of MIDI cables do I need?
Before Pink serial 475, Blue Beebo serial 338: Type B, 3.5 MM TRS. This is the same ring active pin out as Chase Bliss.
Pink serial 475-876, Blue Beebo serial 338-936 : Type A input, 3.5 MM TRS. This is the MIDI standard pin out. Type B output. It's stupid.
Pink serial 877 or later, Blue Beebo serial 937 or later: Type A input and output, 3.5 MM TRS. This is the MIDI standard pin out.
Hector & Flat V and all type A in and out.
No MIDI box / etc is needed as the pedal has opto isolation on board and midi thru.
What is the Digit?
Previously the two colours were different products before the firmwares were merged in to one, so you might see mentions of the reverbs being in Digit. Now everything is in a single pedal called Beebo. Older units can be upgraded to the latest firmware.
Is there a waiting list currently?
No. They go on sale for pre-order in batches. I'm making them as fast as possible but getting parts fast enough and then building complicated pedals takes time.
Which files do I need to update the firmware?
All the ones that end in .deb in the firmware folder need to be downloaded and put on the USB flash drive.
Can I capture my own real spaces and use them in the pedal.
Yes. The recorded IRs need to be 48 kHz, any bit depth max 3.5 seconds, though trim them to as short as possible to improve performance. There's a lot of videos on YouTube about how to capture vintage gear or real spaces.
How do I switch presets from a MIDI program change?
To change a preset with a program message, press the floppy disk icon to get to the preset screen. Tap set list and add preset here. The number next to them is what program change message you should send to change to that preset. This is also the order the foot switch pairs with D and E will step through them.
What power supply do I need?
I use and recommend the Strymon Ojai & Zuma, and the Cioks Future Power series (DC7 / Eventide Powermax) for multiple pedals. You need a 9V centre negative power supply with a boss style connector. It needs to supply at least 500mA for Beebo, 150mA for Flat V. It needs to be exactly 9V, but can provide more than 500mA, for example 9V 1amp is fine.
