Every time I've preodered something I've seen this happen, definitely learned my lesson there! Could be a pattern though, as the last time it was Thomann and the Quad Cortex, I ended up cancelling and buying from Andertons instead.

Never underestimate the extent to which a cheap PSU can ruin a pedal experience.

Agree with that muchly. Listened again with a good bass heavy EQ curve, the signature Ryan playing is definitely happening, perhaps not his most complex work but plenty going on, but its all low end and hardly anything mids/highs is cutting through the mix. Just no character to the tone. And yeah, song is still bad. Oddly, given how much the vocalist has declined in ability over the years, I feel like his performance is the best bit... (if you like that kind of thing). Hopefully future tracks leave a bit more space for the bass to shine without having to cut through an otherwise muddy mushy mix.

Awaking this thread from the dead a little. Mudvayne have released their first new song in the "Ryan Fodera" era. For me, it's awful, but notably the bass is absolutely missing in the mix, all the signature Ryan playing, if its still happening, is buried. Is this a very odd shift in mix approach, or do his Fodera's just not have any of that mix cutting Thumb character? Not unexpected, but a real shame.

I've had worse weekends

First time I can say I've ever seen "balls of the day" on a menu.

Oh its beautiful, love it! Now to rebuild my current live patches around it, I have 2 weeks til my next show, wish me luck! 😅

Looking forward to checking it out, how have they implemented it?? Its a very graphical plugin, which I can't imagine has carried over?

And she's out! Stream on Spotify Would ever appreciate any streams and feedback! Cheers all.

I grabbed them off eBay, perfect for patch XLR stuff, perhaps not robust enough if you're plugging and unplugging a lot? But can recommend for my use for sure! https://ebay.us/m/d6S9yD

Had a great time at the Rock & Blues Custom Show in Derbyshire yesterday! Funny story, you know that delightful chap who likes to scam old people and Facebook marketplace folk? His Queen act dropped out last minute and we filled the slot!

Rather than open a new thread, figured I'd keep it tidier and re-use this one! Peitho - new single out 1st August. If anyone is into the genre and uses Spotify, giving the pre-save a click will really help us out! Cheers https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/awakeneternity/peitho

I literally have no idea what the point of a digital magazine is, when there are so many similar articles online to read for free. But that's just me

I have the exact same relationship with Rics.

I heard they're going to do another run of 1000 of the limited edition ones over Christmas and ask an extra £3k for them, I imagine to cover the factory's winter fuel bills.

I think a good deal of it with the newer 'Rays is the necks. I adore the roasted maple and ebony board, feel fantastic to play. Obviously doesn't apply with these Pino models! But they're very much not aimed at me

Quite a bold statement, no need for dealers? Everyone buys blind? No thanks

Not even a special (though has many of the features), but my 2016 PDN is in a completely different league to any older StingRay I've tried, and the 2018 Special I owned was much of the same. Admittedly I've never played anything pre 1990 odd I don't think, but I can imagine my feelings would be the same. But that's a whole other convo/argument 😅

I really don't think EBMM are pumping out anywhere near as many StingRays as you think they are these days.
