[quote name='nick' post='222992' date='Jun 20 2008, 03:08 PM']Me too![/quote] Commission one then! And I can have a free prototype because I posted first?

Glad to hear it!

We're not going to do any gigs out of Stoke for a while, but thanks for all the comments. Awesome pun BOD, though with a name like the PEs, they tend to come easily

Check out the premature ejaculators on [url="http://www.myspace.com/theprematureejaculatorscomingsoon"]myspace[/url]!!! We are playing the Glebe tonight, and The Norfolk Inn tomorrow night. Anyone who brings a childish picture of a penis with "tom" written on it will get a pint. See you there you stoke-dwelling fiends!

I want a chorus pedal that's kind of the opposite of the CEB3 in that it would chorus the lows (variable) and not the highs, so that you can use it as a sort of "doubler" to make your bottom end meaty without getting the wishy washy splishy sploshy splashy chorus effect.

Some really good sound guys love the job! I would enjoy doing live sound, but I wouldn't want to be stuck in the same venue every night for years!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='222519' date='Jun 19 2008, 10:21 PM']We're a very friendly lot, bloody charming in fact and very professional.[/quote] Modest too! I have played a lot of gigs, and only had 2 or 3 real arse holes for soundmen. The rest may have been crap, but they weren't "arse holes", just didn't deal with bands strictly enough, or don't know their equipment well enough or whatever. We've probably had around 5 or 6 great sound guys.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='222481' date='Jun 19 2008, 08:53 PM']That's because you've spent so much of your time trying to reproduce other peoples' arse chatter, whereas I've been painstakingly honing my 100% original bollock-talking skills the whole time.[/quote]

If you bypass the lows, there will be a perceived boost. I would predict they are infact not lying in the manual, but i've not played with one myself.

Tayste, oh tayste, uh, yes, i'm close, just one more pic.....

Oh, maybe I should try and see a chiro or get more demanding then.

I think we would all agree that music can inspire musical creativity. I think everyone would agree that listening to a peice of music, and trying to/playing a peice of music are two quite different ways of looking at a song. Therefore it would only be logical to conclude that playing covers could inspire musical creativity. I think that (original, and covers) bands that tend to play the same set list over and over are limiting their creativity, as new inspiration can never be found in old (with relation to a specific person) music.

Sam - you must have been in contact with someone at SC to beleive your money has gone? I assumed you had already been down there, demanded your amp, and been refused?

Reaper as an install is 11Mb ... I tracked some bass for a new song and that was only 30Mb the other day .. so thats hulluva lots of USB space for zero cash!!!![/quote] Go to the pub?!?! You must be joking! To be fair, that's a feckin good deal, ta for the link.

I always assume that my GP has real reasons for everything but he just doesn't communicate very well. I'm probably being naive though because he failed to diagnose my grandad's stroke and (less seriously) my broken foot.

It's not just filters that will be effected by putting a comp before them, it's overdrives too. I would go: bass>tuner>dod>marshall>comp>exciter comp before exciter as compression can take some of your highs away! You'd have a nice little board there, but i'd need to add some more pedals, or a B2.1U for a phaser, different levels of overdrive, fuzz, pedal wah, digital delay etc.

[quote name='Phaedrus' post='221940' date='Jun 19 2008, 10:04 AM']FWIW: Knowing the ME-50B would alter my tone even without effects applied, I used it to create my main tone - some compression, some eq and a small bit of hi-band drive. That was my tone. Never didn't have that patch turned on, so my main tone was always consistent. For the few different sounds I needed, I set them up as new patches and always came back to my main tone patch. Mark[/quote] This is the correct approach. Have some points!

[quote name='Toasted' post='221499' date='Jun 18 2008, 04:21 PM']~ You have the same girlfriend as me?[/quote] Heh, I was reffering to her parents more than her. She's not much older and certainly wouldn't try to ram "advice" down my throat 24/7 'cos she knows how annoying that is having grown up with her parents. It would be fun to share though, after-bash-orgy at yours?

[quote name='Toasted' post='221476' date='Jun 18 2008, 04:01 PM']It'd be cool to meet you.[/quote] Heh, not necessarily! I would bring my pedalboard though, I assume you would bring a collection of pedals? I'm not going to get too excited. Last time was the nottingham bash and I was all psyched up before my girlfriend reminded me that I had to drive 9 hours to france to spend 48 hours driving around her and her parents going "yes, I realise I should take your advice about every aspect of my life because being older=being clevererer".

[quote name='noisedude' post='221337' date='Jun 18 2008, 01:03 PM']Miles more mate ... go look into it. It makes Cubase look like clunking bloatware for recording. Cubase has more extensive MIDI still but Reaper has made great strides to catch up. Look up a chap called Aaron Carey who goes under the username Pipelineaudio, he has worked with the likes of Megadeth, Sheryl Crow, Rick Rubin, Dokken etc ...he, along with several other pros, has scrapped his Pro Tools rig in favour of turning up at studios with Reaper and a handful of free plugins from Schwa on his flash disk.[/quote] Impressive! I will give at least have a look at it.
