I don’t actually think we are disagreeing- but if in your era hard work, drive and sacrifice would lead to success and being able to do something as a career in a creative field. In my post 2008 crash era and more so now hard work, drive and sacrifice would look like working the crap job to give you flexibility to pour time into your creative field, hustle to try and monitise what you do, and chasing the algorithm to market yourself.

I’m a bit young to know if it’s true, but I’m sure when I was younger I remember lots of bands, and visual artists living on the dole while they went after their artistic vision. since that’s not an option does it matter if their full time job makes their art possible? the reality is most the money has gone out of music for the producers - unless you chase the algorithm- the fact that people are still doing their thing and making things happen as a side hustle is a good thing- not a negative.

Bit too much colour on that Jam pedal though...

Maybe that is his pjs?

@sifi2112 maybe? I think?

That looks excellent!!

having owned a L1000 and played L2000 ... I would use the L1000 passive bass treble and OMG wiring for it - it's' great.

obv this is off topic!

C2C is the diy arm of the same guy who does Sushibox effects. If you fancy getting the soldering iron out Klaus at Musikding can help

A 21st century style user interface woild help

He is based in Yorkshire and we have spoken before about both coming up!

snap!

Interesting! Without giving anything away. No.3 which I disliked I kinda guessed right what that would be. It just sounded like there's a mid scooped to it to my ears. I personally would not want this one. No. 1 - When it started and when from 1st to 2nd on the P bass my first thought was "sound like 1 has higher input impedance than 2" which I think it does - I enjoyed it on the Sandberg, and less so on the P. This was ok. Number 2: Big sounding, colourful mids. This is a nice sounding preamp/DI. But I like this style of thing. I'ld use one. Number 4: was not expecting to like this one. It's clean, with 1 seemed to have the widest freq range- has that balanced warm unhyped sound that is good unless you're going to go for a colour. Enjoyed it on the P bass, less so on the jazz - which is possibly the higher freq of the rounds. (for reference, my dream sound is the old Warwick hellebore preamp, and the last 2-3 years the v2 Colourbox has been at the end of my pedalboard, so I like things with transformers in!)

Posted without seeing the reveal Set 1: Number 1 - meh, brittle Number 2 - Rounder, middy, fatter I like this Number 3- sounds scooped, hyped bottom Number 4- sounds the widest and biggest Set 2: Number 1 - clean Number 2 - richer than No1 Number 3- still sounds scooped Number 4- warm and nice Set 3: Number 1 - sounds ok, nice bottom here Number 2 -mids give as bit of colour Number 3- still scooped Number 4- yeah good. Set 4: Number 1 - sounds ok Number 2 -sounds better Number 3- I don't like the tone Number 4- still good So from that... I'd say I like Number 4 best of them, then Number 2, then Number 1 and Number 3 Purely subjective obviously - I would enjoy owning 4 or 2. Can't wait to see what they are!!
