Ha ha! You're all scr@wed now. 

We are? Teach us how, master

Loved Nirvana lots. It was punk, so not really about being in tune or singing audibly, more about infectiously channelling rage. The fact the guy had a knack of finding a cracking melody among workaday power chords, and on a good day had a voice that teetered magically between little-boy purity and F.U. snarl, made them worth 100 Pearl Jams. The Robert Plant it was OK to like.

Saw them in Portsmouth and thought they were good. Passed up on seeing them in London a couple of years later as it seemed a long way to go. Then heard Nevermind and instantly regretted that decision.

They kipped on a mate’s floor after the Portsmouth gig. Last time I saw him he was still dining out on “Nirvana cleaned my kitchen”.

Got any Os?

Good to hear— let us know your findings once you’ve had chance to explore!

Do you have one then ?

No, on order so have an interest but still waiting for it to arrive.

If you’ve been through the Windows driver stuff (or MacOS if applicable) then I got nothing, sorry 

It’s my understanding that the “website” is on the unit itself so you should be able to plug in and go. 

I guess you tried the wiki instructions already?

Accessing the GUI

Connect your MOD device to your PC or Mac using the USB cable which you received with your device. The operating system should recognize your unit as a network device and configure it automatically. However, this process may fail in certain Windows versions, if that is your case please check the troubleshooting page.

Then open your favorite browser and navigate to:
For the MOD Duo: http://modduo.local or http://192.168.51.1.
For the MOD Duo X: http://modduox.local or http://192.168.51.1. 
For the MOD Dwarf: http://moddwarf.local or http://192.168.51.1. 

If you are connecting via BlueTooth, visit http://192.168.50.1.

Thank you for visiting (www.digitech.com). Our site is currently undergoing scheduled system maintenance.

Please come back and visit us when the maintenance is complete.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work to improve your shopping experience.

For once, that message may actually have been true.

Only ever taken out of the box once. This is that thing that listens to you strum some chords on guitar (or bass, whatever), then comes up with a drum pattern and bassline to go with. Perfect for that one-man-band busking act you hope you'll never have to stoop to.

I can't stand the choons it makes so I've put everything back in the box as it was and it is yours (or your loved one's) for a measly fifty english quid (other nations' currency considered but I won't post overseas, apologies if that rules you out).

This is the discontinued version without the looper, not the new Trio+ thing that may just be better -- I wouldn't know -- but costs twice as much.

If you're still actually interested, here's the skinny: https://www.digitech.com/discontinued-products/TRIO-.html?dwvar_TRIO-_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current#q=trio&start=1

Collection from staycation-friendly Brighton & Hove, or will post at cost. I can work that out if it genuinely makes the difference.

Go on, solo performers -- this will make you sound just like your first band while you were at school. Or, maybe I'm just rubbish at music and the thing is being passive-aggressive with me.

Can I ask a fundamental question here? Was the technical mod that gave rise to all this axshirley necessary?  Or have I just become a boring grumpy old git?  [sigh] I won't run a  poll, I'm sure the answers to both questions will be 'yes'.

I think it's more a case that the software update comes with these things and it's been deliberately made a bit of a business to turn them off.

I have been ‘promoted’ overnight. To ‘enthusiast’. ‘They’ could not be more wrong.

Reportedly there are huge differences between individuals - badgers being kept on "farms" ranging from dog like ones to vile bone choppers. I'd guess free ones would be averagely "worse".
 

Sorry, badger farms? Is that to make shaving brushes with?

Unlike most people on this thread (I haven't taken the time to read all of the posts as I am far too lazy)I couldn't give two hoots about there being badges or not. If the mods have deemed it good for people to take pride in getting their proficiency badges then so be it. I've always wanted my knots badge but never quite got it. Maybe this will be my year.

When I  first picked up a Bass back in 83  I promised my self that I would learn Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke, well after a 35 years abstinence ,I was still promising   myself I would learn Sir Duke, and so after 3 or 4 years  I still haven't managed to learn Sir Duke.? any tips anyone. 

 

Also, it's mostly here, including a link to the original isolated bass track*:

* which has now been removed. Oh well.

Mind you, this “top 7%” thing’s a bit sinister isn’t it?

All this jolly badinage is just helping a cunning plot to lure us into acquiescence. Badges are the work of satan. To quote Gandalf "flee you fools, this is an enemy beyond any of you". 

Only by gaming the system can we win. Can I have a like?

Like this one?

Could someone please explain the symbol that looks like a Gaucho’s tool of the trade ?

What is it meant to represent ?

It means that you are a collaborator, selling nuclear secrets to the enemy.

Just realised that while I may have some way to go before I am a Grand Master (is that a Gretsch?) I have at least reached drawer-dropping status. 
 

Will set up a separate begging thread to build up my likes.

I imagine if you just repeatedly posted one word over and over again, as seperate posts, you'd get badges and funny titles galore

Were one to do so, I’ve no doubt one would be rated “upstanding member”.

I am now an Explorer and the last post earned me a ‘great content’ badge. D’ya think another 130 points will get me promoted to Thunderbird? The campaign starts here.

Not that I'm bothered you understand, but if you did want to kill the sucky gamification, this sledgehammer will crack that particular nut ...
