I have looked at the bender range problem in my 2nd 3P. The bender range error in this 3P has two causes. Firstly the power supply voltage is sagging a little. The +-15v is actually only +-14.5v. This means that the bander cannot reach the full intended range. There is no voltage trim in the 3P. The second problem I found on this unit was the VRef trim was out which also effects the Bender. This 3P had 4.9v on test point 9 instead of the correct 4.7v. The Bender is pretty close with the VRef set correctly and I will look at putting a software trim into the 3P Upgrade to allow more accurate trimming and allow for voltage sag.

Ok, cool!
The odd thing is, it actually doesn't pick up the value that's in the patch, so it doesn't change anything at all :-)

I also noticed by the way that the pitch change generated from the bender is not a perfect 2 semitones, 5th or octave, but something not very much in tune.

Apart from that: the 3P now indeed has it's balls back, it sounds fantastic! I'm very happy with this new version!
