I suggest we remove boring pedals such a tuners. All those people who say "I never use pedals, I just need my PURE TOAN" still probably have a tuner, so it's not that relevant. Also if we take out the TU-2 the OC-2 is back on top.

Sorry wayne, I have no idea why, but every time I see a picture of you I think of earthworm Jim. You don't even look alike!

I've thought of another situation. When I see a band and (IMO) they're sh*t, but they're clearly spent loads of money on gear - I LOVE that. It just makes me feel so smug. I think the only time I get snobby about gear is when I laugh at people like this with a very high money/talent ratio.

I've observed snobbery (IE haha look at your sh*tty zoom multi pedal next to your zvex, WTF are you playing at you idiot) but i've never actually felt it myself. I've felt "proud" of my gear, but never experienced any sort of positive as a result of observing another's gear, even if I do perceive it to be inferior and/or too expensive. I do lust after gear and want more. In the case of basses, I really could not justify it and hopefully i'll stick to not buying them. In the case of pedals, I just keep looking and keep buying to keep expanding my repertoire of sounds. Basically I didn't get your article at all sorry.

yeah, come on OC-2

on bass I really didn't care. Unless I did something horrible like knock my gate off while all my dirt pedals are on, no-one would notice. Now I play drums it's horrible. Every little mistake turns me red.

It depends how many patches you have. On my zoom I only use 4 or 5 patches for gigs so it's easy to remember.

[quote name='Marvin' post='1012219' date='Nov 4 2010, 04:01 PM']I visited Teignmouth last year, as it's not too far off, and bumped into to Chris. I mentioned I dabbled on the bass and he gave me an impromptu tour of his house and his collection of basses. Very nice man indeed. Quite tall though, felt like I was stood in a hole all afternoon.[/quote] Seriously?!?! That's so cool. Did you take any pics?

Did you try the zoom or did you not fancy it?

don't keyboards have tap tempos for their arpegiators etc? In which case the keyboard player can just play along to the drums and tap to keep in time. I do this with delay pedals

if the synth/keyboard you're using can't generate a click track, then no. I doubt it would to be fair. It might have a MIDI clock which you could then connect to some sort of drum machine or standalone click generator. You know what would be cool. A metronome with tap tempo input!

I've been playing drums to a click recently. I have the click in my headphones and keep one ear off. The rest is just like a normal band practise.

I like to use an EQ pedal to "clean up" my favorite dirt pedal. Then I just turn it off when I want that extra grit. This is in a blended loop though.

I have to say I bought a GT6-B and it's the only pedal i've ever sold. I just couldn't get on with it.

I play chords on my 6 string. Sometimes it's big power chords over all 6 strings (just 1sts and 5ths) but normally i'll play triads in the upper registers with loads of effects on for more "ambient" sections.

Have you considered the larger Zoom units? I've not tried them but i'm well impressed with my B2.1U

This is what I was playing with on Tuesday night. I'd still like to get more set up but I really need to spend some time rearranging it. This hasn't been a gigging board (for me) in years.

A very interesting read!

I've had that heavy duty stuff and it never sticks to the board properly. My board is aluminium so maybe it doesn't like that?

I really think your active pre-amp should be able to cut enough treble for you. If not, yeh, why not an EQ pedal.

I got your PM but i'm not sure I could make it. I'm busy for every weekend for the forseeable future, so I don't really want to vote and mess up the results. I didn't go last year. I think i've been to the venue but I can't remember it.
