Monthly Bandeoke in Warminster last night. Dep guitarist was a tiny bit enthusiastic for my tastes but played well which is all that matters. I used this lot That's Jordan. He's a drummer. He deserves pity rather than censure.

Yes indeed, adding the missing pedal is always an option with these units. Does kind of negate their main purpose as an all in one solution of course.

Hmm. If you'd not said the synth sounds were poor I would definitely have bought one. Given how good the SY-1 is it seems odd. I use many synth sounds live so it's kind of a deal breaker. Are they like the old Boss synth pedals?

I'm interested in combining a Zoom pedal with a midi controller. It can be done with this Assuming the longer cable is just a standard USB A to USB Mini-B cable of which I have many, is there anything fancy about the short cable or does it simply adapt the cable to produce one cable with a Mini-B at either end?

Very simple in this instance. One loop clean, the other with the star shaped distortion pedal. Just to give me a completely clean blend with the dirt

Yeah. That's definitely a good plan. I used to be in The More Specials and we played a load of scooter rallies

Don't usually get to post here as I generally try to avoid rehearsals. However one of my bands is changing direction which necessitates learning a new set, so we got together to make a start. We're switching to an all northern soul set in a bid to get off the pub circuit, aka the Eternal Valerie Chore. Last night we added four tunes, one each from Dobie Gray, Brenton Wood, Shirley Ellis, and The Four Seasons. Nothing challenging bass wise, but all fun to play. Need to get my backing vocal game up to speed now 😬

Bought from Ped on this very forum

If my dusty memory serves, Carlsboro were the poor man's Trace Elliot. I was certainly a poor man who wanted a Trace but had a Cobra 90. I seen to recall it had an on/off compressor built in which so comprehensively killed the sound it put me off compression for life. At least I thought it had. Until Basschat came along and now I own enough compressors to build a scale model of the Great Wall Of China. Anyway, back in the innocent days of my youth the Carlsboro was great. We simply weren't fussy, didn't have the option to be. Years later I upgraded from 90 Carlsboro watts to a Trace 130 watt combo. It was fifteen times louder, and 100% better sounding.

😬

Love it!

At my age you'd think I'd be playing in more salubrious locations. You'd be wrong.

For anyone unfortunate enough to play there. Car on the pavement, double yellow lines, unload drive around looking for parking and hope the gear is still there when you get back to the pub

A beast of a pedal!

Anyone played there? Do you have any tips on parking, unloading etc? Thanks Stew

Yep. Super pedal, great shirts too.

Only one left...

As @itu says. It's a mic stand holder
