So little of a difference you’d need scientific instruments to realise it.

I know there's loads of clones of the V1 BDDI, but are there any clones of the Paradriver? I quite fancy trying one if there is and this way I won't lose a lot of money if I don't like it. ta

I play on headphones a lot, for family diplomacy reasons mainly. I’d love a set of these but alas I have no funds for toys at the moment. I should really get around to listing all the pedals I never use.

I’ve had a bit of a play and I reckon it can get really close to that. I used a jazz on the bridge pickup. Amp Input-gain somewhere in the middle. I bumped the 240hz control a bit to give it a bit more thickness. Sounded nice to me!

The zero fret does the real work so the nut is really just a string guide. I used a metal nail file to widen mine. The nut is quite soft. I match the number of strokes per side to keep the alignment the same and regularly try the string in the slot. Just wide enough to guide the string but not tight enough to interfere with tuning.

Or 40-95. Have a look in the classifieds. Usually some used strings available cheap to find what you like.

Did you use the same gauge or did you go for a lighter set?

Depends how you define clean / modern I suppose. The RM won't do a proper Marcus Miller sound as well as a Mark Bass, but it will still do clean and clear. Can even turn off the EQ completely if you like. Have you got a clip of a tone you like? Then sometime over the weekend I'll see how close I can get for a bit of fun.

I think you are assuming members know what’s going on. I haven’t a clue.

There was a similar thread recently that might help.

Yamaha or Ibanez.

TBH I don't think you can go wrong with any of the modern multi / modellers these days. They are all very capable.

I got to play the prototype of this https://blackstaramps.com/carry-on-guitar/ It's extra short scale at 23.5 inches. The neck dive is fairly crap, but it sounds very good indeed.

Under £1000 - I'd try and find a used Sandberg Lionel.

I've not tried milder sounds! Just mad ones! I might hook it up later and try some of the player library sounds to see what is there.

I've got an Ultrawave I'm not using. It is great fun but I might sell it. I refuse to take any board bigger than a Nano+ and it's full and I'm happy with the stuff on there! I hate to think how many pedals I've got lying about unused!

What about the Source Audio Aftershock? Lots of drive options and the other stuff from the app is very comprehensive. @Quatschmacher might be able to give more information about the EQ capabilities of it.

I didn't used to, but then I tried some and really liked the lack of finger noise, and the difference in attack of the note.

Well the Ti flats are coming off my Jazz. Most annoyingly my nickel allergy is getting worse. I never used to have a problem with normal nickel stuff and then I played some of the Roto Monel flats for a while and they have a very high nickel content and they gave me blisters. It seems my sensitivity levels have gone up a lot. A real shame as I really liked the tone and the feel of them. They've only been on about a week so I'll stick them in the classifieds in a mo. Even more annoyingly I put a shortscale set on my Lionel as well, so they are coming off too. Expensive week.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Same territory.

Great. Another video that I'll have to get my daughter to explain to me. She patronises me enough, thank you very much!
