I've got the Gemini Degenerate in my Mustang (and the Surfrider in the bridge). There are some sound clips/videos here. In most of these I'm not digging in a lot but trust me this thing has massive output and a very weighty but detailed palette. Super pleased with it.

Even longitudinally we can't argue that the UK is lower than the 48 states

Saw that - located in London but description mentions shipping to the lower 48 states only... alarm bells?

Hi guys. I’ve been looking into this and talking to our server guy to try and solve it. It seems to be a software issue so we’re working on a fix, trying a few things.

I get groupies to snap the toppings into the main section and evenly stir them into the yog

We played a lovely little venue in Leeds last night. Crank Studios - it’s kind of a music school with a venue/bar. The whole venture is great - set up by a pair of musicians, they do music lessons and dance classes, and even a ‘rock school’ where a cohort of kids between 6-16 get out into bands and after twelve weeks they do a gig. I think that’s amazing and if I lived nearer I’d love to support that. We played as part of a ‘showcase’ to help promote the new venue and only had 30 mins, and a 7 piece band in a small area - but we had fun and the sound was OK. I bought my full rig but ended up only using the 2x10 because I felt a bit silly having the 15 as well. I wish I did though just to raise the 2x10 because it was pointing at my ankles but it sounded good out front. I don’t think I played particularly well, partly because I couldn’t hear myself that well, but nobody noticed and we had some great feedback after our brief set. Next gig is in 2 weeks at ‘platform 1’ in Bedlington, looks like a good venue and we are headlining so we can do our full set. Pics of sound check - we had an audience of about 30, place was pretty full, which was nice. So a small but fun and relatively local gig. Mustang sounded spot on again. Got home quite early and had three Crunch Corner yogs.

Thanks guys, I have just ordered a custom case from Swan Flight Cases. The trouble I was having was that a typical 'pedalboard' case wouldn't work as my dimensions were outside the minimum required. Instead I've gone for a hinged box which I can lift the board out of which will be perfect. It came to only £230 posted which I didn't think was half bad. It needed to be fairly wide and tall, but not very deep, to house this lot (obvs not the bass too) I'll update when it arrives, hopefully I measured properly 😃

Im not sure on that particular model but I can find one that is. When stacked on top of each other the inputs aren’t that far away from each other.

Thank you - the amplifier is 500w and the extension is 250. The cable says 1200w max power which is OK and a 13A fuse

Thanks both, I'll have to check the input power rating (what will that be given in, amps?)... I thought it would be a similar thing to plugging in two IEC cables into an extension strip.

Hi folks I have a Blackstar combo with powered extension cab, so therefore each has a kettle lead and I need two plugs. Both of these leads are a bit short so I was going to replace them. It got me thinking - could I get a single plug with two male IEC connectors like this one without blowing me or (preferably) anyone else up? Cheers

It would be cool to do a board of all the EHX pedals in these style boxes

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.
