  1. [quote name='paulwillson' timestamp='1349172887' post='1822632'] just a tip, i find the 0.15's slightly too short, i have a got a slightly bigger patch cable but im not sure of the size but i definatly want more of them! It means i don't have to rotate any of my pedals on their side or anything daft. [/quote] Hmmm thanks, I'm trying to avoid that... what about these then? [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patch-Leads-Cables-Effects-Pedals/dp/B0013NFQRK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1349174950&sr=8-9"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patch-Leads-Cables-Effects-Pedals/dp/B0013NFQRK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1349174950&sr=8-9[/url] 25cm each. Not too long so they're untidy but long enough so they don't have to stretch too far.
  2. [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1349173166' post='1822639'] about the gigrig system - why would you need a distributor, rather than just a daisy chain? [/quote] Just seemed to make sense for expandability. I'm a bit anal about this type of stuff, probably because I design and work with production systems I'm slightly obsessed with futureproofing. Also at £148 delivered it worked out cheaper than quite a few of the other systems. Plus it's tidy. I like tidy
  3. Righteo ordered the case and this Next up : patch cables I'm thinking 0.15's should be ok except for the looping pedal bit (could be longer) any good sources? Being able to pick up a multipack would be great (I don't use ebay btw). Tried johnnyshreadfreak or whatever it's called and the multipack is out of stock
  4. The highlight of that speech really was: Questioner (sorry I forget the name) "My compressor has controls x,y,z" 5imon "It's f*cking useless then"
  5. [i]*starts jotting down list[/i]
  6. Just a request... If anyone notices or suspects a pattern related to not getting notifications can they put the theory here. Type of thing to keep an eye on : Number of subscribed people Number of posts Period thread has been running
  7. To be honest a lot of this is coming from funds from stuff I've sold. Plus if I can get into enjoying pedals it means that my girlfriend has something to buy me on birthdays and at xmas that's within budget
  8. Bought off of me after a random visit from a guitarist yesterday!
  9. Saw a thread on here about making your own pedalboard and got thinking a bit. Then saw these in another post. The first one is £39.70 and the second one is £49.98. Now at a tenners difference I'm thinking it's probably worth me getting the larger one and using the spare space as storage for cables and stuff instead of taking a gig bag for now. Plus if I catch the pedal bug then I have plenty of spare room. Also thinking of going the gigrig generator/distributer route. It's not cheap but again, can expand it later
  10. Hmm... am I best off getting a gigging generator/distributor? Also think of housing the lot in something like this? http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/kinsman-large-pedalboard-case-1995-p.asp Not worked out how many pedals could fit on this though...
  11. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1349119472' post='1822130'] Tecamp rig would be lighter... cost more though. The barefaced stuff is supposed to be good mind what and just go through the PA? their are cheaper ways to do that than a TC amp (plug plug plug for the Bass Pod I'm selling ) 50lb isn't light by my books! my cab is a 2x10 but under 40lb... a tecamp 1x10 is under 20lb. you can do lightweight- the downside is the cost- the upside is by the time you get to that kinda price point you tend to get a well engineered cab too. [/quote] Fair point on the pod
  12. The second loop is the blended loop. I havn't heard a difference yet between having the chorus in the chain and not turn on (yet). It's probably going to be upgraded at somepoint but the behringer chorus (and I usually hate the brand) actually sounds pretty good for just "adding body"
  13. Why sell a new thing when you can sell something you already have for the same amount of money and people keep coming back for more.
  14. [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1349107582' post='1821902'] Looks good! Distinct lack of compressor + tuner though [/quote] TC RH450 Although I do have a korg tuner somewhere aswell I like the spectracomp on the TC and lets face it, it does enough compressiony type stuff without even that lol. I wouldn't bother getting another compressor unless it was rackmounted tbh (and I'm not sure there's any room for a rack ontop of rs210's...)
  15. Hi JMM, I can't see a blend on that pedal
  16. Oooh can we do X Factor style voting? Never seen this much interest before (btw I'm nowhere near so I'm not interested)
  17. [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1349098171' post='1821723'] If you're going for very high gain with the XXL I can see the clean blend being useful. You would want the chorus un-blended as obviously you can set the "blend" on the pedal it's self. [/quote] Got it in one (well 2)
  18. The main ways I see myself using this is: Clean Bass Distorted Bass with/without EQ / with clean blend Distorted Bass with/without EQ / without clean blend (switch LS operation mode) Any of the above with / without chorus
  19. 4 pedals for now. And the clean blend will definitely come in handy as when that XXL is set it's going to be set to brutal!!! It lost a little definition around there when I was playing quick stuff so I think the clean blend will really help Any recommendations on what good power supplies there are?
  20. You see.. I thought it was a gathering of cowboys
  21. Hi guys, Thanks to sibobs chat and gas for a Tech21 XXL I'm now looking into going ahead and getting a board together. Currently thinking : [attachment=119866:Potential Effects Rig.png] Any thoughts? Am I doing anything dumb? Finally... Am I best off attempting to build my own pedal board or buying out of the box as it were and any suggestions on powering this thing?
  22. I'm stumped at the moment and I can't drink this week as I'm on call
