    Pedalboard qs

    A trick @jimbobothy showed me is that dual lock is about 6mm thick - so you can run your cables under the pedals - in your case it might help you not have to remove battery covers etc - you don’t need much of it, my 125b pedals use 4 1cmx1cm squares and it’s more than enough. for the mutron you might need to double up but you could maybe do three small strips, one either side and one at the bottom to avoid taking anything off or fowling the stickers…

    How deep are the mutron feet?

    What about Musikding?!
  4. my first bass was a Status shark - it was an amazing first instrument. I think, probably if I were getting on a bit, had a health scare, shut down the production etc... wood necked basses would be a nice, low pressure way to keep my hand in the game and keep an income coming in.

    anyone done musikding since Brexit and been charged VAT on delivery or anything like that? Or are they big enough to sort it out their side?
  6. Are you initiated in the society of knobs?
  7. I wonder if you can adjust the threashold the indicator comes on at? Some pedals keep the led ‘on’ at a very low level so it’s not completely switching off
  8. I have entered the comps and would have been more than happy with a lifetime subscription as a prize rather than some fancy bass… sounds crazy, but I’ve got a nice bass or two - and long term I would learn something
  9. I've been in a situation where the backing tracks EQ was utterly unsuitable for a full PA - there is a learning curve to get them right.
  10. I had it the other way, was accompanying a singer songwriter, made the mistake of rolling the highs off on the amp to go for a Jameson soul type sound, way down in the mix but quite “busy” in the way Jameson was. odd gig, it sounded ok, didn’t seem to gel together and more people nodding their heads than I would have expected for laid back music … sound guy complimented me on my playing and how my tone reminded him of JJ Burnell
  11. so is a IR is a eq curve with a time dimension.... A blank IR is one that is flat and does nothing - like these https://www.strymon.net/faq/bypassing-the-cab-on-iridium-with-a-null-cab-ir-file/ Then when you turn the IR on, it does nothing other than what you set the HPF and LPF at in the editor... (which I just installed to get you this screen grab)
  12. though interestingly these aren't IR's ... they literally are EQ curves.... I bought a multiFX pedal (Zoom B3, then Zoom B3n then HXstomp) mainly as I played at a church and odd things would happen on the digital desk. Part of my way of solving this was to give them a signal that approximated the response of a bass cab with the top and bottom trimmed... The Zoom things were really nice, but the HXstomp got into IRs and... I tried them for a long time but couldn't make them work for me. To my ears IR's sound amazing on electric guitar and do lovely things to the tone. The HX stomp is utterly amazing on electric. For bass though the sound of a speaker cab recorded through a mic just felt odd, like there was a blanket thrown over something, or some thing in the phase in the mids or there was latentency I was playing against or something (NB I have no idea what it was) - and I always preferred using no IR or cab sim and just a HPF, LPF. @warwickhunt - you would be able to test it, if you load a blank IR into your NUX and just use the HPF/LPF on the editor
  13. Less clone than “brown source designer does version 2 post Lovetone”? some lovely stuff here
  14. On internet adverts? You’re kidding me? what about that guy in a swimming pool saying how much money he made with some thing, or the heating system so good they want to make it illegal, or the binoculars, or currently I’m getting a Turkish textile mill who do something but I’ve skipped by them…
  15. Jazz noodling adverts are better than some of the alternatives
  16. Once you get to digital it’s a lot simpler - a lot of ir loaders include a HPF/LPF - it depends what you are doing with it , it’s a different use case than a thumponator
  17. Vong adjustable HighPass-Filter (30-140Hz)4th Order-Filter -> -24dB/Oct. (-12dB/Oct. fixed at 30Hz -12dB/Oct. adjustable) adjustable LowPass-Filter (.250-22kHz) 2nd Order-Filter -12dB/Okt. adjustable DI-Out £45 ish - but you have to build it yourself
  18. There’s also two uses - cleaning out crud, but also something like the Vong with a LPF too means you can kinda do a simple pseudo cab sim
