Bought my OC-2. Good guy to deal with.

Starting my own feedback thread. Hopefully someone will post in it!

I like it! I've got an SX strat I bought for £50 just for recording demos but I never play it otherwise, just not interested in guitars.

Always people. If I like all the people I'll always play with them. If one of them is difficult they become unbearable and I'm done. Never been money, I'm happy to make no money, I have a job for money. Actually I wouldn't play with people I didn't like for money.

Ever met a famous musician…. but not realised at the time?

Oh that reminds me I bought a Korg workstation off Warren Cuccurullo! Didn't know who he was until I asked him to write me a receipt and he rolled his eyes at me like I was asking for an autograph! -

Played a gig at Kenny's Castaways on Bleeker St in NYC once and after we were done I got chatting to this older rocker guy who was good fun had some good stories but he was totally trying it on with my missus. Anyway we let him buy us a bunch of drinks and talked music for a bit, left quite pissed, I think it was a few days later I met up with the band again aid they told me it was Todd Rundgren. Another time I went to a jam night that our guitarist hosted every Monday, I was leaving the following week and wanted to say goodbye to people, there was this one bassist there who was hilarious - tiny little guy with long blonde curly hair and every time he was on stage he spent the whole time looking at himself in a giant mirror on the back wall. Got talking to him later on and he was very complementary about my playing at first but clearly just wanted to talk about himself and got annoyed that I didn't, so he moved on. Apparently that was Dave La Rue, who I only knew of from guitar magazines I don't think I've ever heard anything he's played on. -

Must agree you've been lucky getting no noise from that Line 6 pedal. I've tried daisychaining their Tonecore pedals before, and the M-series units and they do NOT like it! I'm using a Cioks DC-10 at the moment because I have a few high-current digital pedals that need isolation and it is a great PSU, but I miss the days of daisy-chaining just a bunch of analogue pedals off a single cheap switched-mode PSU.

This was the most recent incarnation that I photographed, I was using it for recording. The two pedals not quite in shot are a Bugbrand Bugcrusher Micro and an EHX Iron Lung. The expression pedals are on the IE Xerograph and the EHX Pitch Fork. The three-switch box underneath them is an aux switch for the H9 (both of which are for sale at this very establishment!).

Roland Gaia SH01 synth with its original PSU. Thought I'd need it for my band. Don't need it. Same old story. I've ended up using it as a MIDI controller in my studio which is pretty silly really. I don't know how I'll ship this as I don't have the box or a case for it so collection from York or some sort of meet-up-half-way thing would be ideal for me, but I could try to post it I guess if necessary.

Here's a bunch of pedals that came off my board and never went back on, plus a couple of things I probably shouldn't have bought. Prices include postage. [b]Source Audio Hub:[/b] £60 [b]*SOLD* Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer:[/b] I think it's stopped reading from the SD Card slot but apart from that it's all good: £200 [i][size=3]Edit: To clarify because I've received a few PMs about it: I tried to back up my patches to an SD card last year, a few times in a row, and it didn't work, it crashed the Squeezer. It has room for 50 patches in local storage on the pedal and it has the most recent firmware* (011 if I remember correctly) so unless you want to create more than 50 patches and store some of them offline it shouldn't be an issue but bear in mind you may not have any facility to store your patches off-site. On the positive side I have yet to come across any condition that wipes, damages, alters or renders unusable the patches in local storage, it seems local storage is very stable and recallable and your patches on the unit itself are going to be safe there. I've had the pedal for 6 years, and it was on my board for about 5 years straight.[/size][/i] [i][size=3]It will also require a 9v max. 300mA supply. Preferably isolated. No PSU is included, no PSU ever shipped with the Octavius Squeezer. *I doubt that any more firmware updates will be forthcoming. I emailed Richard Cartwright about it a couple of years ago and have yet to receive a reply, having chatted with him quite a lot when I first received my unit.[/size][/i] [b]*SOLD* [/b][b] Source Audio Manta:[/b] Never really got on with this but plenty of others love it. Was a half-hearted attempt to replace the Squeezer with something MIDI-switchable but I preferred the Squeezer's envelope follower: £90 [b]*SOLD* [/b][b] Boss OC-2:[/b] Not Japanese probably, don't know what colour the label is, doesn't have the letter 'r' on it, so not one of the magical OC-2s that are worth over £100 I guess, just a normal OC-2: £60 [b]*SOLD* [/b][b]'Synth Modded' Boss OC-2:[/b] (this has had the low-pass filter cut out of the trace so it's all buzzy and square-wavey - pretty cool) £60 [b]*SOLD* [/b][b]Iron Ether Subterranea:[/b] Great little box but I have too many similar-sounding pedals. This one's in a red finish, still etched though, because Taylor had taken too many orders for the stock he had available so he made up another batch: £150 [b]*SOLD* [/b][b]DOD Meatbox Reissue:[/b] This is actually very cool and does exactly what I wanted but I can't choose anything to take off my board to put it on. Only bought a couple of weeks ago from G4M, if you want subs it gives you subs - trouser-flapping subs!: £90

Cool! I do have a soft spot for what they used to do with those old sound chips. I spent something like £75 on a VST that modelled a bunch of them actually, use it all the time, there's single-channel Nintendo white noise drums on one section of a track I was working on just the other day. I also have a pretty close approximation of the Pac-Man death sound stored as patch 83 on my Bass Station II, but haven't found a use for it yet. That Stevie tune really does sound like it was composed at Sega. I love Stevie's soul stuff, I still listen to Innervisions and SITKOL pretty regularly, but that tune sounds like a videogame to me.
-
Was this tune one of the radio options on Outrun?
-
Lately all my Velcro has been doing this. I don't know if it's because I store my board upright. It's really annoying.

[quote name='fryer' timestamp='1461324198' post='3033663'] Only 4 pedals - how many do I need ? [/quote] If you're anything like me, one more than will fit on your board.

With only four pedals it's easy to experiment and decide what you want, but the info you've received so far is bang on the money.

Him and Bowie so close together is a bit harsh. I'd put him up there with Stevie Wonder in terms of musicianship, composition and vox,and sheer dedication, but Prince had so much more to his game too. Remarkable man.
