deals mainly with the well known nail board test and some examples of mixed modes..
and a couple of quick things ..the Gen(D) mode is unique in its report and a Industry first....its still limited to VLF phases shifting behavior..but what I like about it is
What the Gen(d) mode does is somehow take a disc sample and through processing lean the threshold low or high at shallower depths...yet its also a delta pitch so as the targets get real deep the weak low tone and the weak high tone become the same tone......I asked Alper if there was a way to divide that tone separation at further depth and He said no...and We know why..Disc depth is disc depth..
Yet this is not a problem for the seasoned all metal hunter..its actually a confidence booster and assurer ...while still retaining that True all metal feel..Instead of overlaying a disc tone on top of a all metal threshold Alper just manipulates the swing of the threshold it so seems...the threshold is true single channel all metal I feel..Not a Faux all metal...
We are in the age of Processing it so seems and out of box TRICKS can be done to a signal..
What we get is for the first time a True discing all metal feel....and I find it very welcome..Im a old schooler all metal hunter and this just give that feel in a Modern twist....and its still true all metal threshold feel its just Souped up..ENHANCED and a pleasure to run on isolated targets especially...
We get that ultra depth all metal single channel that for the first inches are veerable/Steerable...and nothing wrong with it and I find it AWESOME and feels Natural to me...
Its not alien tech..its still a mixed mode but its a subtle mixed mode..its a mixed mode that conveys like old school threshold based all metal mode does...
Once the disc doesn't know if its ferrous or no ferrous or out of range the threshold is still wavering a target...
It feels very clean...
It's just a new way of having a combined mixed mode through Processing
its still a phase shifted report out to a certain depth...But its the way it reports through threshold manipulation...Gotta love it!!
To me the Impact has a couple of great modes..one being the Gen(D)....(((I remember I got my Impact about Halloween of last year and before that first day was out I was in AWE of the Gen(D) Talked To Alper then and a few times since on some things about it and what you see is what you get with that mode..well after five months with that mode for what in does it's worth the price of admission..Very deep If you use it WISELY..))).. and the other being a 99 tone SQUEAKER mode....
there was a lot of work done to the Audio of the impact over a Racer or Core Series..more refined..still rolling and bleeding audio but more clean and exact....
All in all its a VLF but its as good as any VLF in my opinion....its like always a users skill level will be the overall make or break of any unit. ...and some machines a person can mesh with and some they cant..its no magic stick...but it's got enough things going on that it can compete on a world stage..
And as a plus like earlier the GEN(D) to me is UNIQUE...not thats its alien tech but its anew angle and feels GOOD...
I also am proud of the Notching with iron tone assignment volume controlled....It was a idea of Mine that Alper took to hart..I had thought how about getting some RESOLUTION in the other areas of the conductance spectrum like we do in nails....So now we have the ability to hear a rejected pull tab and a co clocate say coin by using the blending open audio gate of the MakNok's..
