It's just an option. Maybe it's being over-used these days, but not on my computer. We listen to everything, leave the "mistakes" we like, and edit the ones we don't. As a drummer in a couple of bands, i'm very very greatful for the option. Imagine you're recording live as a band, everyone nails it except the drummer missed his snare on one beat... If you couldn't replace that one hit you'd be gutted

"nice bass sounds, shame you're using a Peavey amp" "sounded great but I couldn't hear the bass" "I thought you were great but I think you need some covers to get the rest of the audience interested"

Yeh I'm not consciously copying anyone else but I copy myself all the time! My licks are boring me

but that doesn't have a clean blend on top of the two loops right?

well I've heard of fussy fuzzes but never a chorus!

you're saying that putting the tuner before the chorus affects how the chorus sounds? That's very weird. I can only imagine it's some weird effect of the difference in impedence.

I've never heard of any rule stating chorus should be after compression. You have it set right now!

but to power 24 pedals I'd need 4 wouldn't I? Anyway, sorry, i'll stop de-railing, i'm sure there's a dedicated PSU thread somewhere.

I love the idea of a 5A supply, but i'd rather use a £5 daisy chain than a load of £40 distributors I'm planning to get myself a new PSU soon so was considering the gigrig but didn't realise how pricey it was

about the gigrig system - why would you need a distributor, rather than just a daisy chain?

in that case you're going to need a couple of delay pedals, a whammy, a feedback loop, an OC-2, a wah....

you're clearly setting yourself up for an expensive hobby. Be careful! I only wanted a variety of distortion sounds. 50 pedals later and yeh, I do love them, but christ when I think of the money...

I do this all the time. I have a Barge Concepts clean blender which most of my pedals go into. Then I have an LS-2 to blend two levels of dirt in parallel, on top of the clean.

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.

actually the boss daisy chain is designed to feed off a DC-out (for LS-2 or TU-2 or the like) but yeh I have other daisy chains which start with a female socket

are you sure you're going to need a clean blend? You won't need anything special PSU wise but obviously buy the best you can afford. No tips on the actual board sorry, but only 4 pedals, it can't be hard!

If i'm fooled in to thinking a performance is entirely live (and I would include live triggers in that) then I don't care if they're playing to a click/BT - obviously I don't care because I don't know. E.G watching a band play to a click with some BVs on a BT, and someone miming the BVs - I probably wouldn't be able to tell, and it would be infinitely more entertaining than watching the lead singer sing along to a BT on their own. You'd still get to see the musicians do their thing.

cool! I'd not heard of this either. It's a bit pricey for me but no doubt i'll buy a used one off the forum in a year or two

I have too many to list here!

when I was young, about 14 I think, we went to Lake Garda in Italy as a family. I saw 2 or 3 really amasing jazz bands and couldn't stop watching the bassist. It re-affirmed my love for bass and made me actually buy one to begin the switch from guitar. It would be a horrible shame if today's 14 year olds are not getting the same experience, but I suspect the "problem" is less rife than the thread implies.

I don't know Bilbo, what proportion of people would never order food at a hungry horse? Compare that to the proportion of people not prepared to listen to a backing track. It's probably similar

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1348567679' post='1815190'] No its not. Its exactly the same but indoors. [/quote] Yeh, where it's warmer and they serve beer - point proven

For me it's just slightly above the guy in the street with panpipes and a backing track

that wouldn't power a speaker
