Just going back to the new Regal (Noble) model mentioned recently. I gigged mine last night with IEMs and it sounded freaking lush. Even our drummer, who is also a bass player, commented on it. And it played very nicely with my COG Grand Tarkin in the Stomp FX loop. I'm out again tonight and very excited to use it again.

I just bought a pedal from Bernard. Another easy BC purchase. Great comms and quick delivery too. Definitely recommended. Thanks Bernard.

I've seen a few people using high end mixers with cheap routers. It's a false economy and they inevitably have problems. I use TP Link too and they've never let me down. This is what I use with my SQ5 https://www.ebuyer.com/820530-tp-link-archer-mr400-ac1200-wireless-dual-band-4g-lte-router-archer-mr400 I have a similar one for my UI24R and my Apple Airport Express still works a charm with my DL1608.

I tried the Regal the other day and wasn't impressed. Until it dawned on me afterwards that I had dropped it into an existing preset with amp, IR & EQ running. As the Noble is just a DI, I put the Regal into an empty preset last night and with minimal tweaking of it's EQ it sounded really good. I like it a lot. I've A/B'd it against my favourite Bassman presets and it holds it's own easily. It just sounds drier as it's a modelled DI rather than my livelier Bassman presets which have more of an amp & cab feel to them. I can see myself using this lots.

I just bought a pedal board from Pete. Another no-hassle BC transaction. Pete was helpful and communicative throughout the process, definitely recommended. Thanks Pete.

I bought a flight case from Paul. He was very helpful, and a pleasure to meet. Definitely recommended. Thanks Paul.

I just sold a pick up to Nicco. He was great to deal with and I have no hesitation recommending him. Thanks Nicco.

I just bought a pedal from Bob. He's a pleasure to deal with. Great comms and a well packed parcel that arrived the next day. Definitely recommended. Thank you Bob. Alex.

Oh yes. My originals band rehearses all with IEMs at our drummer's studio. We record everything we play via USB. Direct to Logic via USB works fine. To USB drive is awesome too, especially for gigs. The UI needs USB sticks with decent write speed to record multitracks without glitches. Lots of people on the FB group suggest various USB sticks that work for them. I tried a couple and got mixed results. The best stick for me was a particular Sandisk. I ended up getting a 500gb solid state drive, via a powered USB hub (because the UI USB doesn't put out much power) into the UI and it works perfectly every time.

I've had a UI24R since 2019 and I found it to be a really good mixer. On those rare occasion that 16 inputs aren't enough the UI has 20, that's so useful. I'ts not strictly an app that you use to control it, you connect via IP address, so any device can control it with any browser. I have two old iPad 3 that I hand out to musicians which still work just fine. It has 8 mono (or up to 4 stereo) auxes, but I have assigned 1 of the 2 headphone outputs to be a stereo aux (hardwired for drums or keys) too. (The other headphone out might be able to send another aux out, but I'd have to check if that's correct) There is a learning curve but I like the control layout and options. There's a really good FB user group, go there to read & learn all about it. It can be occasionally quirky but its awesome IMHO. If mine died I'd buy another in a heartbeat. My main mixer now for functions and PA jobs is an Allen & Heath SQ5 but the Ui24R is a very capable back up for me. I use the UI for my originals band as it's so portable. We run 4 stereo mixes and I'm about to build a splitter rack for our gigs so we can control our on stage monitoring and the house engineer can do his/her thing out front. I also have my trusty DL1608 which I rate highly too, great for smaller gigs. Mackie put together a lovely app to learn quickly & navigate.

I just bought a pedal from Si. Comms were great and he shipped quickly. A top packing job too which is always appreciated with valuable goods. Definitely recommended, I'd be more than happy to deal with him again. Thanks Si.

It's pretty easy. First select Snapshot 1. Go to Command centre and highlight 'Instant 1'. Change 'Command' to BankPC. Change 'MIDI Channel' to match the MIDI channel of the device you want to control. Then use the Page Right button to go to Command Centre Page 2. Change 'Program' to the PC value you want to send. (If your Snapshot Edits are set to Discard in Global Settings, you then need to save the preset now) Now select Snapshot 2. Go to the same instance and just change the 'Program' number to another PC value. (And save if needed) Now select Snapshot 3. Go to the same instance and just change the 'Program' number to another PC value. (And save if needed) That's it. Let me know if that worked ok for you.

I got some superb clean bass tones using the Fender Princeton model on my Stomp. It's always worth trying the guitar stuff out for bass.

I just sold a pedal to Dan. As always, he's easy to deal with and a great BCer to trade with.

I just bought something from Ross. He was a pleasure to deal with. Definitely recommended.

I noticed my Stomp rebuilding presets a handful of times on start up, after the update. It's not doing it now though.

I use a Roland EV-5 expression pedal with my Stomp and it's used for effect or distortion wet/dry blend. But as I change wet/dry levels, I've also programmed in volume and EQ adjustments as needed.

If I remember correctly, power supplies like the Cioks can happily give more current to a single output than is rated. As long as the total current draw on the power supply doesn't exceed the maximim rated, you'll be fine. I think it was Mr Cioks who said that in one of his videos.

I just sold a pedal to Ed. It was another very easy BC sale, he's a nice guy and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Ed.

I just bought a cab from Alex. He kindly held it for me until I was in his area to collect. Top BCer, recommended. Thanks Alex.

I just bought a pedal from Nigel. He's easy to deal with, and the parcel arrived really well packed. Thanks.

I just bought a pedal from JPJ. Another easy BC purchase. Recommended.

I just bought a bass from Dave. A nice guy and another very easy BC transaction. Recommended.
