Is there sposed to be a pic there Ant? Kubickiboy - I would make another layer ontop of your PSU and where the foam is, there's no need for another board! I would have bottom feeder, ODB-3, BM. I can't see the point in the DS-1, I remember it being very similar to the ODB-3 but without the EQ control? Maybe not.

The only reason i'm saying this is that a company in our industry wen into administration this year, and we bought all of the stock and the brand name and etc. There was stock there that had been bought by customers, and paid for, and it was legally ours (for 1% of the price to the customer). Similarly, this company was owed quite a lost by some customers, and the (former) owners of the company will never get that back.

I'm not aware of the legalities, but i'm pretty sure you're wrong. I think some lawyer on the board even posted a message to this effect on a different thread concerning the same topic.

I know guys (myself included to some extent) that are actually better/more comfortable at communicating through the gift of music than they are through real verbal or written communication[/quote] Jhonny, can you read me out that cake recipie please? "widdly widdly wooow wooow" "um chucka um chucka do do dooooo" ..... Yeh I can see how that would make sense. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='219787' date='Jun 16 2008, 12:38 PM']I'm prepared to accept that this Fergie Fulton dude didn't mean to be a cock (although it comes over that way) and probably just used the critique as grounds to set up a rapport.[/quote] Who cares what he meant to do? If someone messaged me with what seems to be a fair critique of my playing, i'll either reply and make it clear that i'm annoyed, or i'll reply and start a discussion, or i'll ignore it. I wouldn't post it on a messageboard along with my assumptions about who the critique was trying to impress and why.

I think until he picked up the amp it remained SC's, and now it's the administrators, and no-one's under any obligation to help him out. If you had gone down to the shop on the day they went into administration you probably could have picked it up, but..... It's just a bit sh*t really.

No-one is stupid enough to try and come on to someone by criticising their playing technique. If someone fancies someone, they will pay compliments, or juat act shy, or try and show off, or whatever, but they're not going to send a critique of their playing by e-mail. You'd send "Hi, I saw you playing last night, that was some hot stuff!" or something.

You could get an mp3 player that has a mono mode, take a "stereo mini jack to two mono jacks" lead, put one in the PA mixer and one in a powered monitor. Or just plug the mp3 player into the mixer, and add another speaker to your set up.

But I have 55p credit at the Stoke shop! God damn nit.

I think for remote control you might have to add a relay circuit to switch at the rack when the footswitch switches. Not sure though!

He's single handedly shaping the minds of tomorrow's musicians with shoddy writing like that and it just means more work for you, doesn't it ferret?[/quote] Slow down with the wit there CK, I almost missed it!

Can anyone tell us what the auto resonance filter is? I think the STEP is a "step phaser" meaning that it cuts between different stages of a phaser, rather than naturally flowing.

£30?!?!?! FS I would buy a couple of baking trays and bend them.

When you're saying "rackmount hardware" isn't cheap, you're just talking about a metal box the right size and some rack ears right?

You could surely build it for less than £70? 3 jacks, 2 pots, 1 switch, some leds resistors, wires and a battery clip - £25 at the most? And a case wouldn't cost more than £20 surely? To be fair, I haven't bought any of these things in a long time so I wouldn't really know.

I think it should be as simple as 3 jack sockets, 2 pots, 2 LEDs and 2 resistors, and a switch. You can find info on the net on how to make a pot into a volume control, the rest is simple.

That's a very helpful post! Listen to Bod2!

[quote name='Higgie' post='217001' date='Jun 11 2008, 04:28 PM']That's correct. But why pay for an emulation when you can get the real thing cheap as chips?[/quote] They're not much different in price are they? I would assume the "emulation" is as exact as they come?

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='216999' date='Jun 11 2008, 04:25 PM']ahh yeah, bypass=tuner yeah? cant say ive noticed if it stops or not. confident enough to say it doesnt though.[/quote] Lol! Give it a real try. I would also turn off the noise reduction just in case, then put it in bypass. It shouldn't be any different to your standard clean tone. You shouldn't need to EQ it at all.

It depends. I would read a couple of the links people have put here to get you more aquainted with EQ and compression. I would put the limiter between Zoom and amp. On the Zoom, there are several different "modules" - drive, Eq, modulation, reverb ......(I forget them all) To get a totally dry patch, you have to go through each module and turn it off. I would do this to a new patch, and see if your clickiness is still there after. Basically, with all of the effects modules set to off, you should have the same sound coming out of the amp as you do when there's no zoom in between. What about when you use the zoom's bypass (pressing both switches at the same time)?

I wouldn't have the limiter "on full". Read the manual and play with the limiter as though it's a single pedal - you should be able to calm the spikes of your slapping without effecting your fingerstyle. The noise of your fingers hitting the strings, pick, and slapping etc is just high frequencies. Maybe what you think is a dry patch actually has some top end boost in the EQ section? If not, why not EQ out some highs? There's nothing built into the Zoom that will make you always have a "clicky" sound.

Well, you're on about a limiter and an EQ. You could try the limiter on the zoom. I like it! IMHO I would set up your zoom: 1. dist 2. clean 3. your clean patch with treble/slap sound/whatever 4. clean 5. your clean patch with phaser 6. clean 7. your dist patch with phaser 8. clean 9. your clean patch with digital delay and so on.... If the limiter on the zoom is good enough for you, I would tend to apply this to EVERY patch. If it's not good enough, the boss pedal is great and would stay on all the time after your B2 if you so wished. If you want an EQ pedal to boost, why not set up a boosting patch on the Zoom? I'm only saying all this because I have gone through a rather expensive route of finding my sound, and I think most people can avoid this.

Heh, Bilbo "throwing down some metal grrrrr".

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='216872' date='Jun 11 2008, 02:06 PM']I am seriously considering .... squeezing a knacker through our 1.5 powermate rig.[/quote] What?

A good way to work with just two footswitches, is to work in banks of 3, with the 2nd patch always the same. So, if you have a main sound (could just be clean), get that right, then copy this to every other patch on your zoom, and fill in the gaps with the other patches you create. This means that you should always be able to switch to and from your clean sound, and should mean that 90% of the time, you can set yourself up to switch to any sound. If I have two sounds that I need to switch between without going to clean first, I will program this, but that's specific to individual songs/players.
