Fair enough, I suppose i'm very used to it. I used to gig with 23 pedals on my board. I had to change to thinner shoes so I could hit one and not the others! You could make a box to raise the pedal, have the two footswitches seperate (very easy) and further apart and away from the exp pedal? I would draw my idea in paint but it's just going to look stupid.

Some people complain if I don't wear the shades with it but sometimes on a dark stage, I just don't want to risk it.[/quote] You don't need the shades, it's the hat that makes it.

[quote name='The Funk' post='275285' date='Sep 2 2008, 11:13 AM']I may as well post one...[/quote] That is a fiendish hat!

[quote name='Galilee' post='275331' date='Sep 2 2008, 12:01 PM']I always accidentally kick the damn pedal and turn my sound right off, so now I make sure it's not assigned at all.... In my own defence, I do sing lead vocal as well, so I can't focus too much attention on controlling effects.[/quote] Do you do it while you're trying to hit the footswitch? Anyway to turn on the tuner you have to press two footswitches as a time, and then the mute is useful obviously.

It's great for muting when on the tuner as well.

Wouldn't it be cool if Dr Das was on BC! He put some great basslines on ADF songs and really seemed to drive the whole band with his playing. Are you here?

Try assigning the exp pedal to: Phaser/Flange/Trem speed Distortion gain Volume, with some delay on the patch to do some swells. It's fun!

Is it just me who loves playing on a hollow wooden stage? The vibratons go all the way up my legs and tickle my balls in a way that no other stage can accomplish.

I've never bought a soundman a drink but all the sound guys in stoke seem to know me and we get on really well.

I'm not going to be specific to protect myself, but I think I am guilty of making money from someone else's song. Less than £100 in total, and no air play. The actual writer and/or their manager wont reply to any correspondence so we just went ahead. We're not collecting any royalties from it so..... I fail to see how I am going to get screwed for it.

Sorry! I'll be gone by then! Staffs uni is pretty easy to nick from - if you know any student that know their way around the stafford campus you could get yourself a nice free combo.

If you can make it down to cresswell ST11 9RD in the next hour I can lend you one.

Money is the cure for GAS.

[quote name='ped' post='272459' date='Aug 29 2008, 12:34 PM']To be honest I would probably just blow you away at the bash[/quote] Do you blow everyone at the bash? I might go!

Well take your amp anyway (else you'll seem like an arse) and then politely ask whoever has the biggest rig there if you can borrow it. If they say no, work your way down the rigs! Someone will let you borrow one - you're a girl!

I can lend you a peavey 1 x 15" combo if you want? I'm 30mins at the most from Stafford. When is the gig though? I am away tonight and tomorrow day. I reckon it's the speaker distorting. Buy/beg/borrow a cheap 2nd cab to add to your combo (if it can handle it) or borrow an amp at the gig IMHO. I would DI rather than mic up an amp that's "shagged".

I think if you took a DI before the amp using a complicated effects set up, then having an SVT on stage to monitor would be a bit silly! Maybe not if it's mic'd up though. I always struggled with this - no-one liked my DI from the Peavey combo 'cos it's noisey, no-one liked the DI from my pedal board because it needed a lot of top rolled off, and some bass boost etc, basically what I was doing witht he EQ on the combo. The only way to get a good sound through the PA was to take a DI from the amp, roll all the high end off to get rid of the noise, and then mic my guitar combo for the top end. It's a shame some engineers are not that obliging!

I don't get it and feel stupid

[quote name='dood' post='271826' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:07 PM']Well, no not at all really. My cab's are more 'hifi' than flat response.. Thats just personal taste.. There's really no reason why you couldn't use a dirty great SVT head and cab if you wanted. I'd just rather have the sound I hear behind me being close to whats going out of the DI.[/quote] Doesn't hi-fi = flat? Or does it mean mid-scooped? I was thinking that if your DI sound is eaxactly how you want it, then you would need a flat rig to re-create that for monitoring.... As opposed to my rig which I have to DI post amp Pre and EQ.

Yeh the main reason I needed this pedal was so I could control my phaser frequency with an exp pedal. Weird that they can't just link the ring mod as well.
