I had exactly this problem with the Zoom when used with other pedals. In the end I used batteries, or a rechargeable power bank

Brilliant absolutely brilliant.

Please God no! Trust us to be intelligent enough to get your meaning, and those who don't - well they're always going to struggle in a written forum aren't they?

Haven't done one of these for a while. So I thought it was about time. As usual my answer is yes in every case! Well almost. Please feel free to expand on your answers, or if you prefer a simple yes or no that's fine too. 1) Ever bought a pedal even though you know you already have the perfect pedal of that type? 2) Ever 'discovered' a pedal or pedals at home which you'd entirely forgotten owning? 3) Ever bought a pedal purely on its looks? 4) Ever bought a pedal purely on its name? 5) Ever been unable to bring yourself to sell a pedal you know you'll never use? 6) Ever decided a pedal was rubbish, sold it, then bought it again years later deciding it was you not the pedal at fault? 7) Ever built a board, or boards, comprising pedals all of the same brand for the sheer hell of it and yet never gigged them (and knew you never would)? 😎 Ever commission a hand built pedal, which is effectively just a big fuzz box, for more money than a Helix costs and have absolutely no regrets? 9) Ever bought a pedal just to p off a guitarist in a band? 10) any idea why 8 followed by a bracket comes out as a face in sunglasses? 11) Ever bought more than one of the same pedal ? Still got them both/all?

I saw one I think on Facebook for just over a hundred!

Any experience of band members in the police service?

Ha ha, it's an in joke with us. She always calls me her bass player, so I return the compliment. Shes such a great singer she can call me what she likes. -
Bad bands - or - where are all the semi-decent musicians?
stewblack replied to Rexel Matador's topic in General Discussion
Once joined a band because I just wanted to be in a band again. The drummer was kind of ok but uninspiring, the guitarist and band leader appeared to know the songs less well than I did, but I got the gig.] As time went on in became clear the guitarist had no sense of time, nor was he interested in learning. I'm now in another band with the same drummer who, it transpired, hadn't been playing very long when I first met him. He is a lovely bloke and a wonderful drummer. I suppose what I'm saying is you can't make any kind of valuable judgement of where a band will lead you. -

Can't help but my singer is depping tomorrow for a band who's vocalist us a police officer! -
This must be why the SY-1 is to be found so cheap second hand now. Might get another one.

I confess to being unimpressed by any band that soundchecks, is happy with the levels, but later tells me to turn down based on a complaint of one member of the audience. However, trying to argue this point with the BL during the performance was unprofessional of me. I had such a magnificent bass sound that night as well.

The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash - Now Sunday 19th September 2021
stewblack replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
Same, only free for one! -
When I ran a music venue a bad drummer would bring down the whole band. The audience probably couldn't tell you why they didn't like the band, but on the occasions the drummer wasn't up to scratch, they always reacted negatively. Being a bassist I seemed to be the only person who noticed this. A good drummer makes our lives easier but more importantly makes the band better.

Made it to its first board. Robotalk, Bass sweeper and Octave in the effects loop of the LC, with the Gilmando phaser following everything. So gnarly!

I want the Success 2. Looks really cool. Especially with geranium transistors.

So, UPS have been playing silly burgers with a pedal I bought over a week ago on the BC marketplace. The tracking showed 'out for delivery' all week last week, then yesterday switched back to 'label printed' (the first stage of their delivery process). Their help page is hopeless (basically says get in touch with the sender) and the guy I bought it from hasn't been here for a few days. So...I'm kind of stuck. If they have lost it it's a real shame as it's an unusual pedal, but on the bright side I've been trading here for many, many years and this has never happened before.
