First gig back from holiday with the dwarf, still works really well, in fact better, as I am more familiar with it. Sometimes it is a pain that you can't adjust on the fly, and to be honest, I could have adjusted on the fly but for some reason my gigging iPad stopped working while I was away and now wont boot, so I had to use my home one and the network on that is too complicated to allow the dwarf! I think I need to remember on all patches that I make to have an output volume routed to one of the knobs, at least until I am happy with the relative gigging volumes of various patches, as one of them is much louder than the others live (doesn't seem it at home), so I need to work out what the volume should be. I certainly know what I want from a switching system now so I can rejig my chocolate controller into something useful soon.

Did you click the 'enable streaming' button on the top?

I was going to gig mine tonight (gigged it a few weeks back). Thought 'Better check the battery, when did I last change it, can't remember'. Opened the battery cavity and the battery was clearly not english or a brand I used. Which means it is the original battery! I got the bass on page 58 of this thread, November 2016 - so it is 6 ½ years old! It was down to 8v but hadn't noticed any issue (it does have a bypass too). Though what the hell, may as well treat it to a new one!

I have no idea

A self powered cab is something that I think is probably worth having

OMG - its not.. RONNIE PICKERING??

I think they call that marketing!

Strange - the tone cap being the wrong value can cause an issue, but seems unlikely. An earth not present on the volume pot (ie, just the two ends of the pot) could cause that issue but wouldn't necessarily bet on it. I suspect it is more a connection missing, its worth undoing the screws and looking at it because it will be obvious when you look.

Well, you can see them all on the demo: https://try.mod.audio/

The arduino stuff is for their original external interfaces and pedalboards. I have no real worries about the company going down as not only would there be a community takeover but they have gone down once. Even if MOD did nothing else ever on this device, the plugins and community are the ones making the plugins, so that wouldn't stop. Also I don't think you could really ever get to use a small fraction of the devices as it was, everything I have wanted I have found a number of and part of the problem is deciding which one you like more and how to connect it!

Yep, but Z was really popular back then!

First thing I did professionaly was an air traffic controller, it was written in C++ but the guy was an ADA programmer so he had #defined everything. Took a long time searching through headers to eventually find something was just defined as 0. Second company I did work for professionally, was a company that did C++, and had clearly learned on the job, read the books but not really understood you didn't have to inherit everything from everything, and you didn't need to use all C++ features at the same time!

If its the module in the picture, its an ICEPower one - same as used on most of the class Ds.

With that many coils I would say it looks like a class D, although hard to tell in the photo, looks quite a bit like an ICEPower module.

Cant help, other than to say you have summed up the arguments perfectly!

Hardly a tribute to Jeff Beck then - he had quite bad tinitus which he found quite depressing so wore IEMs

See - I have never seen anyone denying good experience here, only the opposite. Most people who have had bad service have also had good service - 9/10 of orders with even the dodgiest shop are going to be smooth - pay the money get the item things.

yes that is what I have been doing for over a year now, never any interference if you are not using the internal Wi-Fi of the x18 - you can't use them together

why odd? All this "I like the sound of passive" that is trying to emulate that

I would say don’t daisy chain the dwarf (hard to do as it’s 12v anyway) as there is no chance the noise wouldn’t be an issue with that

it says it needs (and comes with a terrible) 12v 2A adapter, it actually uses 320ma flat out. I have mine on a 12v 500mA output

sorry away atm so I missed this, remember the dwarf psu requirements are a lot less than the power listed on the back, a CIOKS 4 should be fine

The last guitarist in my band got grumpy when I didn't play in the verse.

Just off the M3 I think

Well, we did a local coronation party yesterday. I think it would have been better if we had gone on at 6 rather than 8, as by 8 a lot of people from the afternoon had gone, but the main issue is that by 9:30 it was dark, I only have a couple of little lights to light up the area, and we were playing to an area of blackness. We knew the crowd were out there, as they clapped etc, but we couldn't see them. After a few songs in the second half we turned one light to the audience, so at least we could see their shadowy figures and tell that they were dancing, but it was kind of weird. It was getting a bit chilly towards the end though, but not complaining as both saturday and monday would have been much worse, at least it was dry and warmer. A local event over the hill had fireworks that managed to sync nicely with one of our songs Afterwards we had lots of nice comments and people seemed happy.
