A quick look through the BC market place, and this jumps out. Light weight, loud, and reasonable price

Currently ploughing through 3 sets for 3 different bands.

As an aside to this thread, remember these pedals don't come with a rule book. I have the one above (the only one from the range that Jack doesn't seem to have 😆) and last night at rehearsal we used it with the trumpet. The octave down setting made for a useable tenor sax sound, and the group setting made for a useable brass section type sound.

I saw them at the Great British Beer Festival one year. Perfect place to see them 😎 Don't remember any Trace gear though.

"I was at Eric Clapton's wedding when I joined the Beatles" Chas laughs. "Me and the missus got invited an there was a marquee set up in the grounds with a stage, amps and drum kit in case anyone felt like getting up and having a jam. "Anyway, this little kid started bashing the drums and called over to me saying "C'mon Chas, sing Gertcha for us". So I go up with the mic and started singing some rock and roll stuff. I looked up and there was Ringo sitting there smiling at me. The next thing I knew Paul was plugging in his bass and George slipping a guitar over his head. And there's me in the middle thinking "I'm the fourth flippin' Beatle here!"

They sold about 2 million records in London alone, which if you add to their worldwide sales, means they've sold about 2 million records.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
MacDaddy replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Dress rehearsal for next weeks gig, so all using our own gear. Shuker 3 -> Swiff Audio wireless -> TC Electronics BH800 -> Tech Sound Systems 2x12 (modified). I had trouble with my sound all evening. Couldn't get it right it was always too toppy or clanky, or not bassy enough. The only thing that has changed is that my strings are now DR Neons (Christmas gift). I finally got it right on the last song. Flat EQ but with the bass boosted to 4 o'clock. Spectracomp tone print on full. -

They were incredibly lucky that when someone left they always had a family member who could step into the role. -

"They" are watching! 👀 -
Must be something in the air, the vocalist in one of my bands suggested doing it. I like the version by Sabrina Teenage Witch ☺️

How was your recording session last night/yesterday...?

No worries. I'll ask a friendly neighbour mod if they can be combined. -
Public service announcement / humble pie consumption 🍰 I need to issue a correction before the synth police revoke my license. Earlier I confidently declared that “Warm Pad Fade” was my favourite Yamaha DX7 patch. Several of you (correctly, and with admirable restraint) pointed out that this patch does not exist on the DX7. You are 100% right. My brain has since rebooted, and the truth has emerged: I was thinking of the Roland D-10. That lush, nostalgic Warm Pad Fade lives firmly in Roland-land, not Yamaha-land. I have unfairly slandered the DX7 by giving it credit for something it never did, which is ironic because the DX7 usually gets blamed for things it did do.

Kingston upon Thames that London, not to be confused with any other Kingston 😉

Not sure. We had a DX7 at college and that was the patch I always tried to use. Nice warm string sound, which at the time didn't sound dated.

It was my favourite patch on the DX7.

Everything? They are the punters. It's their time, attention, engagement, and money we want. If we are not getting it, it's our fault not theirs.
