As far as I knew, they'd had him on an electric kit for some time now. Maybe he's just sick of that thumpy sound of sticks hitting rubber pads behind him 🤷

the other thing with this debate is often people seem to realise that a lot of analogue parts get retired. When I first got into building pedals in the DIY land the big thing was folk making JFet versions of amplifiers schematics - and a lot of J201 being used. It's pretty hard to get hold of reliably and in any volume. That was only 10 years back... So even if you're a manufacturer designing an analogue product you're thinking about product life cycle. yeah, they now need a pair of tweezers too! If you compare effects pedals now to twenty years ago the benefit to SMD is price and size - so people squeeze far more on the same size board!

Have got this lined up as my next read - will report back.....😎👍

My next gig will be going to see Michael Schenker @ kk’s steel mill on the 8th May. On his “My years with UFO” tour

That's a mixer, not a splitter = only the last part of the chain. It doesn't take standard pedal power, so it would be awkward to put on a pedalboard. I didn't know about the Joyo Orthros before, that looks pretty decent - especially for the price. It doesn't have a crossover, though, so you would need to use EQ on the pedals in the loops.

They did it on the Jaguar Bass in about 2005

Pom Poko at Bristol Beacon on Thursday the 5th of May. They always put on a great show! Seem to be getting bigger and bigger venues too. Last time I saw them it was at Thekla.

And? Tell me you didn't wake me up just to condescend to me about how choices work, is there something else?

I Dream Of Jeannie - Buddy Kaye/Hugo Montenegro

Raising the bridge pickup closer to the strings or lowering the other two should help level out the volumes a bit?

He's still writing the book.

Would this work? https://amzn.eu/d/b29gDsO

If they were going to get rid of one member you'd think it'd have been the noncey one.

Was great wasn’t it…

you know how it is with ibanez, wait to get one second hand and it will be less than half the price

You move in illustrious circles Steve 👍

My Fretless Safran has a hidden PU underneath the end of the fretboard. The pole pieced go through the fretboard so you can adjust them. There's also a piezo under the bridge saddle, mixed with a John East MPM preamp, this combination is great!

I can only repeat that I get a great result with a single 12" sub. I guess it's not optimum performance but it sounds great to my ears, and others.
