Do you get any output if you put a signal into the AUX socket?

Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
tauzero replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
I never really got on with TE, couldn't get a sound I liked. Before I'd finally come to that conclusion, I bought a 4x10 combo. My first gig with it was up two flights of stairs. I didn't keep it much longer. -
Dealing with feedback with an uncompromising drummer
tauzero replied to geoham's topic in General Discussion
Are the drums in the FOH mix or just the IEMs? -
If your local Evri driver is a good one then the only issue is that once a parcel disappears into Evri's maw, it could take anything between a week and a fortnight for it to reappear. I happen to be on a FB group for a Cornish village I go to annually, and their Evri driver posted to the group saying he'd had to have a little time off due to a personal situation and that he was aware of some complaints about the replacement driver, and if people had any issues with deliveries then contact him and he'd contact his boss to get the issue resolved. So some of them go above and beyond.

Do you have any high current draw effects, or any reverse polarity ones, or any that take other than 9V? If they're all fairly low current (maybe around 100mA) and 9V and negative centre, it's worth trying a simple 9V supply and daisy chain. Some pedals don't get on with a shared supply (eg the Zoom B3) and for these you need a power supply with isolated outputs.

On the odd occasions when I use a similar system, I use what is apparently the Roman numeral analysis (no, I didn't know that until five minutes ago), with upper-case numerals signifying major and lower-case minor (which avoids the confusion of Im also meaning 999, admittedly unlikely to cause a problem, but it means one fewer letter for a minor). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis

Was that the same concept as getting your retaliation in first?

Keep plugging on. My most recent band but one came about through knowing someone at an open mic night, so that might help you.

The round-shouldered momentary switches I've used on a couple of projects are 8.75mm, the square-shouldered momentary switch on my Zoom MS-50B is 11mm, other momentary and latching 3PDT switches are 10mm. Just tried the Aliexpress one I pointed to on a round-shouldered switch and although it's a bit loose it goes on and the grub screws fix it in place. There's only two grub screws provided for these ones, putting a third in would help and make sure the cap was centred.

Sounds like the annoyances I had with the Katana Go. Once sorted, it's been fine.
-
What's the difference? These fit the momentary switches on my HX Stomp, Cuvave Chocolate, and MOD Dwarf, as well as assorted 3PDT switches.

I live down a cul-de-sac with no passing traffic - deliveries often get left somewhere relatively safe, which I don't mind. I may be swimming against the tide, but Evri have been reliable since their rebrand from Herpes, although once things disappear into the maw of Evri it takes some time for them to be regurgitated. The unreliable one has been Royal Mail - their untracked 48 hour service has failed to deliver in a fortnight three times now. I'm currently chasing the third one, the first and second I got a refund and a redelivery for, and in both cases the original items turned up a further week later.

The best Formal, and Informal, musical lesson of your life?
tauzero replied to ARGH's topic in General Discussion
I don't think I've had any single lesson that stands out as a major contributor - probably the biggest push was playing in the house band at an open mic night so I became quite adept at working out chord sequences and grace/passing notes on the fly. I think the most useless lesson was at school. Dr Roy Massey, MBE, head of music, was evaluating that year's intake of pupils for membership of the choir. In turn, he would play a note on the piano to us and we each had to sing the note. It came to my turn. "Ding" "Laaaa". "Dang" "Laaaa". "Dong" "Laaaa". "Zero," he said, "you have an ear like an old boot". Words that have stayed with me for 55 years. -
I'm surprised that that one has hung around for so long (must be 18 months or more) given the way that it oozes craftsmanship, or at least one word starting "cra" anyway. I think he buys in Teles and Strats in pairs and swaps the necks.

So you don't want to play the White Power then.

Buying a guitar from Canada-WISE money transfer.
tauzero replied to Chewie's topic in General Discussion
Trustpilot gives them a 4.3 out of 5 rating. @Dood, what do you do to make couriers and financial institutions hate you? 😁 -
You probably shouldn't look at the HTML. Proper 20th century. We don't need no steenkin' CSS.

You might find some useful information in chapter 16 of https://web.mit.edu/6.101/www/reference/op_amps_everyone.pdf - it's somewhat above my head.

Buying a guitar from Canada-WISE money transfer.
tauzero replied to Chewie's topic in General Discussion
Stung in what way? I've used Wise a couple of times to transfer money, most recently to GR Bass in Italy, with no problems. -
In English, 8/64" = 3.175mm, 7/64" = 2.778mm, 6/64" = 2.38mm. CBA with these ludicrous foreign measurements.

Possibly not very legal. And they look very very vulnerable, with being so long and rigid - there are some things for which this would be a Good Thing, but a wireless bug that appears to have taken Viagra seems destined to have quite a short life.

Connecting FX send & return to fix amp problems......
tauzero replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs
Just to add - the switch on the return is actually one bent bit of metal in the jack socket resting on another bent bit of metal in the jack socket. When a plug is inserted, the top BBOM is lifted off the bottom one and the circuit broken. The surfaces that touch each other will gradually oxidise and eventually break the circuit. Inserting a plug will disturb the contact patch enough to start things going again but if you can easily get into the amp then contact cleaner on the return jack is the best way to go. -
Not even strings?
