Great review, great English - Thanks! If the box is half empty, and you want two settings, why not buy another and build it into the same box? Then you'd have 1, 2, or 1+2 settings.

I can help i'm sure! I find the zoom really easy to use. I haven't bothered with the manual. Basically I use the left hand knob to scroll through different settings, and use the other three knobs to mess with these settings. The last position on the left hand knob is the control setting, which is useful for the expression pedal etc. If you can just find an hour to sit and play with it through your rig or headphones, you should be able to come up with some decent patches. I reckon the harmony settings will be in the "synth" section, but i'm not sure. If you just mess about with it, you'll learn more than just copying someone's settings.

I think you can only find out the address of the mail server the e-mail was forwarded through. You can find this in the header. If you're using outlook, right click on the e-mail and press options to view the header. I could be wrong about that, but I don't think you'll get an ip address just from an e-mail.

I really would just read the manual and play around with it. I found that the presets weren't that useful for me, so I just made my own patches. I'm not sure if it does much harmonizing, I have a digitech whammy at the start of my chain for that.

The arrows don't mean "rely" they mean "look down on" which puts us in equal place with drummers, each having 4 kinds of musicians who look down on us.

Heh, my choice of one pedal would be a B2.1U - Then you can make every tone, save them, and switch between them! As far as how to get different specific "classic" tones, i'm not much use 'cos I wouldn't really know what kind of sounds you're reffering to sorry.

I do parrallel compression all the time! It's an integral part of my sound but I've never heard it's name before.

Satchmos is cool, but no-one goes there and they're really disorganised recently. Fat Cats is really cool, it's a small room but I like that kind of venue. I'm not sure what the name of the road it's on is. I thought it was Etruria Road? My set up is a peavey combo and a johnson guitar combo bi-amped, with about 24 pedals. I can guarantee we're more entertaining than Rambo. If it was Die Hard....... We're probably going on stage between 9.30 and 10.

We're playing at Fat Cats bar in Hanley Stoke-on-Trent tonight. It would be cool to see anyone there! It might be our last gig for a while. www.no-logo.co.uk cheers. EDIT: I just got a txt that this gig's cancelled. Buggery!!!

what does parallel compression mean? As in stereo compression? Multi-band?

I e-mailed them ages ago asking if they were going to release a b9.1u and they said no! Wrotters.

Fiendish. All hecklers are welcome!

I'm not sure, around 8 or 9 I guess. Last time we were supposed to be on at 8.30 but we went on at 9.30. It'd be cool to see you there!

I've got to agree with Homer here - You need a dead rabbit.

This Friday we're making the long trip from Stoke to London again to play the Fiddler's Elbow. If anyone lives in/around camden/kentish town and would like to come down, it would be most appreciated! I'll buy you a pint Last time we played there it was a great gig. If you want to hear the music, check out [url="http://www.no-logo.co.uk"]www.no-logo.co.uk[/url] which is just a framed myspace page where you can listen on the myspace player, and download mp3s from the frame on the left. We're also playing at the Sugarmill in Hanley/stoke-on-trent on Saturday if anyone would like tickets PM me. Cheers!

I reckon you want an oscillating fuzz of some sort, plus a limiter, and octave + and - options. I don't listen to loads of dnb though so.....

One big kylie shaped dirt pedal - in through the mouth, out through the ass and 9vdc input..... I'd love to kick her in the face every time i'm turning on my filthy distortion.

[quote name='paul, the' post='146718' date='Feb 25 2008, 04:40 PM']I am amused. [/quote] If that's in reply to my post, maybe I should clarify myself?! I grew up listening to Motown, stevie wonder, bob marley, the beatles etc etc. All the bass is kicking out lots of low end, lots of "classic grooves" etc, very good bass lines and bass playing. Then I listened to primus, and I remembered that i'm a musician in a band, and I can do whatever the hell I like as long as it sounds good.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='146698' date='Feb 25 2008, 04:15 PM']While that is often the best approach, sometimes more actually is more, especially in smaller bands. Alex[/quote] Yeh, don't get too bogged down in the "classic sound" or "classic playing" or whatever all the experts think you should do with your bass. We're not all playing motown covers!

Ahhhh, never mind. No-one will play me at chess and I thought it might be a good way to get some mates into it!

how much to ship the drinking chess set do you think?

I've not used one, but would love to try it! I played a guitar one once, but only for 10 minutes, it was very fun! The pickup on that was very thin, I would have thought it would fit next to the bridge on your bass, but I don't know for sure.

Are you familiar with the controls on a compressor? Have you tried it with some sort of level meter? Maybe it's just so transparent you can't tell that it's compressing your bass! Maybe it's just behringer being crap. I've tried that pedal though in the shop. I wasn't sure if it was compressing my bass enough, so I hooked it up to a keyboard in the shop, set it as a "brick wall" limiter at the lowest threshold, and turned the keyboard volume up and down while I played it. The volume of the keyboard didn't change with the control, so the limiter must have been working. It didn't sound much different though.

Isn't it crap when your pedals start spilling off your board! It kind of defeats the purpose of having a board 'cos it still takes ages to set up!
