  1. All depends on time lines. If the X has been in development for a couple of years then he's not going to tear up the design just to squeeze in a limited parameter compressor because Tech21 have got a good product.
  2. The X units are Multiband distortions. I doubt they'll have compression built in - especially as they are having to discontinue the Super Symmetry.
  3. I did a mid day gig yesterday - 40 minutes outside at about 11:30am. No shade. It was for the educational music trust I play with. It was the summer concert and awards for the kids. Most of the show was inside but for some reason they like the interval for the summer show to have refreshments and entertainment outside. It's great fun having to get my gear off the stage and reset it all outside in about 5 mins. My Marleaux did very well considering but I was still re-tuning between most songs. I'm very glad I didn't take the Ray.
  4. I hate this weather. Not only is it just too sweaty the setups on my guitars are all over the place. Amusingly the most stable one I've got is the thinnest - an Ibanez Jem. Not moved a mm. Took me a sodding hour to get my Stingray back to a sensible action though. And I'll have to re-do it in a couple of weeks when the weather gets back to normal. I miss my Status.
  5. Usually I'd say - if it's not on the scope then as a scope is far more sensitive than your ears - the problem is your ears. Or at least further down the chain than the amp - the cab perhaps?
  6. It will do a little grit with the 2 parts of the preamp, I just wasn't a fan of the flavour - and I wanted more. More is always good.
  7. I had the 9.2. It was very good but a bit clean for me. Not a problem for a pedal junkie like myself. Was loud, defined and reliable.
  8. I came here to say exactly this. Applies to all string instruments too. Always tune up to tension. Never down.
  9. No recent posts on the FB page though. Odd.
  10. Prices will get worse when poor little UK is left out of the big trade deals and the Orange Dipsh1t starts swinging his tariffs around more. Lovely.
  11. That weight is for the 4 string. As I have two lovely 5s (My PJ-Ray and a Marleaux) I'm thinking about a 4 for a change anyway. I might even leave it stock this time!!!
  12. Blimey. The 1973 All Blacks -v- Barbarians game is still talked about with great respect just like the 1966 football is. The 6 Nations is on terrestrial TV every spring! That includes France and Italy. (Although Italy really should get binned to allow Georgia in).
  13. Acoustic guitar case? Or something like a Mono posh bag?
  14. Not even heard of the All Blacks? And managed to miss the entire "Johnny Wilkinson wins the world cup" thing?
  15. That's pretty much what I'm looking for. I'm doing big band arrangements of loads of tunes at the moment and that would seem to suit.
  16. I hope so - it will take a while to raise the money! Teenage kids are expensive! I won't buy toys for me on credit.
  17. I'm not normally a sunburst fan, but the tobacco burst with the roasted maple 'board looks lovely. Are they a permanent addition to the line?
  18. I watched last night's game. Was the first game I've watched for maybe 15 years. i thought I'd give it a try. What a bunch of play acting fake injury nobbers. On both sides. Zero respect for the officials as well. "Privileged" to watch it, my giant fat derrière. If FIFA won't sort it then let the sponsors do it - would be very easy. Just put a mic on the ref so the players' comments get broadcast. The sponsors wold be very quick to put pressure on. And what is the point of endless yellow cards? Time for a 10 minute sin bin whenever a yellow is given.
  19. Stupid ones! But I'm still going to start saving.
  20. "Averaging about 8lb" Time to start saving up!
  21. It's still got way more bass stuff than Fractal and Kemper. So I'm not fussed about amp updates. But I'd like some more compressors and synths.
  22. It's such a shame. They were always my first choice but I wouldn't go near them anymore.
