Oh I supposed I could use one of those power bank things to power the USB, except then I have to remember to charge it before using it and risk it running out of power (as they also charge from 5v). I did notice the joyo power supply also had a usb out and was battery as well (not enough to power a helix obv), but I didn't really want to go changing power supply when everything was actually working fine

I have two needs on my pedalboard at the moment. I want to power a USB device (which is a 12 step to midi adaptor but matters not) from my pedalboard psu, which obviously has a load of 9v out (and 12 and 18). I have been searching and it seems that the world wants me to convert this the other way. If I want to power something from USB there is no shortage of that. I could throw an LM7805 in a box, but that is a lot more trouble than I want. Also, I have my pedalboard and I have a helix HX. I can't reliably pwer the helix from the PSU, but it powers from its own rubbish adapter. Anyone know where I can get a US power socket in line so that I could just wire it underneath my pedalboard so I can use one socket to power everything?

Hmm.. not sure they are entirely sure how this sale business works. They had a VR-09, and I really like those so I keep an eye on them, but it was a B-Stock one with slight scratches above the screen, and it was £615. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/b-stock-roland-v-combo-vr-09-b-live-performance-keyboard I though they must have gone up as they used to be less than that. So I did a search on the net and found out.. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/roland-vr-09-b-v-combo-live-performance-synthesizer Yep, the price of the VR-09 brand new at PMT was £529! So yay, you can buy a new one for 529 or for only £85 more you can get a used one with scratches.

Will give it a try. But now I just remembered I built a lowpass filter and forgot to put it on there! Oh well, it is only small, it can fit somewhere!

Actually I wish I had made a note about that. We do "in the end" linkin park, and I picked a really good setting last time I played it, but that was in March and I didn't make a note. I always just winged it before because it was never on my board. Also I am playing piano with the other hand, and singing

Good point, will charge the camera battery!

Yep, on a truck with a PA provided and all. Looking forward to that!

Have a gig next week, so thought i would finally get round to doing my (not at all pretentious, but just the right size) pedal board. By dropping the voicelive in favour of the critical mass it means I have enough room for my synth pedal, yay!

A Mike Oldfield Pedal?

Why has something got to be new and un-influenced by previous things to not be overrated? why does anyone that gets successful or good have to be torn down rather than just accepted. I mean, I don't really like a lot of these people but I can't do what they do, which is born out by the fact I am not where they are. Obviously if I was there would be people saying the same about me though. What a stupid thread! and yes, I see the irony of replying!

No, these are completely new systems for transfering stuff from europe.

Oh they look good

Hard to argue that one!

Doesn't affect latency, affects tracking. And it doesn't have to be that good, as there is an adjustment for each string.

Yes, my wife had a shortage of one of her drugs for about a month, luckily she had a few left over but by the time she managed to get some stocks had gone. And you can't really stockpile prescription drugs.

We will have the free trade deal with America so we can have all the OxyContin that you want No but there could be quite a few issues in actually getting the drugs.

Don't see any reason why it would make a difference.

FTAs don't cover VAT, they cover duty, the duty on a product, so you would still have to pay VAT on anything because that is a UK sales tax, but it could be duty free, so you don't pay the 3-4% or whatever on guitars etc, 10% on cars etc.

Good job we managed to keep that one yes. Not sure what the rules of origins are on that as only one of my ibanezes was made in japan, and I am sure only the older effects were.

Yes, so if you look at the editor, all the fun stuff is up the top of the chain, with just the analogue guitar signal going through effects at the bottom. It would be a shame to waste that processing by not using a GK pickup.

Who are they, I have seen a couple but they are pretty expensive. My friend spent a while taking them apart, because he likes doing that, and has a tray of them, but he got bored of that now, as he does. Really all you need to do is put the coils closer together: http://chriskingblog.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

No, but that was the same before so it hasn't changed. US bass pedal? I don't think I have any US equipment. Well, I have a gibson guitar, and a fender bass (although that is japanese). Yep, there isn't much of any interest made in america. Which - we have a free trade deal (which could be possible), or we get cheaper bass kit? I mean, we already lost the second one, so that seems unlikely. A flea Jazz is £1099, it was £882 when it was introduced. It is $1225 in the states, and hasn't changed price. So you are thinking that after all the dust has settled and we have this magical deal, the fender flea is going to be less than £1099? This is my newly developed, fender flea index

Well, why so long then, we have been able to make trade deals for a year, we seem to have replaced 19 so far. Got quite a long way to go. I will take that wager. But if we do it is because we can accept less from it than the EU will. True. If our money can afford them, and we get that deal. Umm.. I am not a fisherman, how in any way of anything is that relevant? Fishing is a tiny industry in the UK and the fish that we fish we have to sell to other people as we don't eat it. What is the point putting up trade barriers to people we sell the fish to. Still, its a shame when we were in the EU, we didn't have anyone who was prepared to support british industry as MEPs.

On the plus side, you get the opportunity to appreciate the things you have, learn new skills, and bring back old ones like sock darning, picking vegetables and candlemaking!

Japanese and US, are the same yes, but not Indonesia, they have a free trade deal with the EU which we lose.
