Looks amazing. The shape looks perfect for a twin neck.

Cable ties! You can also remove the base and make a new one from something flat. I believe you can even buy such plates for Boss pedals, for example.

And don’t copy and paste

Ignore that - it just means that whichever picture you put in your advert first will be used in the thumbnail when viewing the whole sales forum. RE the above - save the pic then add it to the sales thread instead of copy/paste.

I think now that eBay make payments directly to your bank account ‘on request’, they’re hoping that people who sell items will leave the money in their ebay account (to pay for postage etc) then keep it there to buy from business sellers instead of shopping elsewhere.

Hm I’m sure I’d enjoy doing that but I’m not confident that I’d do a better job (or for much cheaper) than getting one made properly! I’ve had a quote for £240 including postage which I think is very reasonable.

They won't do anything. You can get locked up for writing something on facebook, but not for using it as a platform to rob people. Makes sense.

I've spent the last few days getting into the weeds with IR models. I have always taken the DI from my combo but I bought a NUX Pulse pedal out of curiosity, partly so I could use my pedalboard as a headphone rig. I think 99% of the IRs I tried sounded nasal, thin and generally terrible, the best being Shift Line's Sunn model and the Behringer V-Amp model of an SWR or some sort. Even those had nothing on the Roland 'Super Clean' I usually use. It turns out that the DI on my amp (Blackstar U500) has an emulated output setting, which I have always been using without knowing. It gives cab sim and post EQ/voicing sound. Through my headphones the sim sounds spot on, far better than any IRs I tried on the NUX. So I will return the pedal and keep everything as it was. I don't suppose the quality of the IR PEDAL matter when it comes to using IRs? Like would those same IRs sound better with a different 'loader'? Surely not - but you might get more control, better quality 'effects' such as 'space' or 'reverb' - better menu, less noise etc? I must say in every respect the NUX worked really well, very quiet, USB-C, Tiny, easily powered. The headphone output ran out of steam beyond moderate levels but still, for £50 pretty good.

Hi guys Has anyone here had a custom case made for your pedalboard? In have had a good quote from NSP cases. I measured the width, height and depth of my board and got an estimate which I’m happy with. However, I guess it’s better to add some extra to each internal measurement so that I can add some foam (probably neoprene high density stuff?) to protect the board a bit, maybe some wavy foam in the lid? I’d like to see some examples if anyone here has had one made or done it yourself. Im thinking a box with the whole lid that lifts off so the board can remain in the base if needs be. I did find a case on Amazon which was the perfect size but it’s very flimsy. A Maplins one. With the board inside the case bends around the handle so I might as well get a roadworthy one. Cheers ped

You can still admit that you’re wrong about what I quoted, its fine.

It’s not a point of view. You said: “The reason Fender have given this person their attention is because she is an a beautiful young woman, not because she is an exceptional or successful musician” Is that an opinion, now?

Agreed. This thread is nuts.

Use it for work quite a bit. We just had an email offering Affinity Photo/Publisher/Designer free of charge if you log in with your not-for-profit Canva account. Pretty good deal.

The Spectracomp can do three band and a lot more if you plug it in via USB. It’s absolutely one of the most powerful compressors you can buy if you dig into the editor.

I’d better put some money in the meter, sheesh

You must have tried nearly every fuzz out there. Are you on a quest for the ultimate fuzz or are you trying them all out for the fun of it (which I totally understand!)

You’re already drilling holes in vintage Fenders, better ease off on the meds if anything 😂

Well he'd be right about that, of course! Just watched it, maybe I missed it but I didn't hear in this video? He does mention buying the Ken Smith from me in a different one.

What does he say about me this time

Yeah if well designed. Depends on what that means. For example the Mutron was quite lossy. It’s not a buffered vs true bypass argument.

I like how my 66 Mustang looks under stage lights. It’s become a really deep red. Shame I look like I’m barely conscious but still
