The more you look at the knobs with the cool overwriting graphics, the more they make sense to me - i think they are fine, and one you know what they do, it doesn’t matter

Exactly - Punch, Buzz, Crunch on the PSA Creation Audio Labs Grizzly Bass - this has been given a thumbs up on here numerous times, pretty sure the lack of words on this pedal didn’t come up as a problem Just 2 examples....... Yep - it looks good and COG are also a very solid company

Let’s look at the pedal properly - its an overdrive/fuzz/clean signal path, which if i read properly is able to be used on guitar and bass. This makes perfect sense considering BF is making guitar and bass cabs - pinning all hopes onto a bass amp does in itself not serve all of the customer base. People using their cabs, will already have an amp, its more expensive for them to make and for us to buy, and despite protestations would there be a mass buying of the amp from the BC community let alone the whole bass community at this time when no one has a lot of cash - i doubt it. The lack of DI makes not difference really - it doesn’t have to be line level to go into a desk or a USB interface etc. You just have to gain stage,plenty of pre-amp pedals have no DI - Tech21 PSA 2.0, Line6 Helix etc. Personally i think it sounds really interesting,and I want to have a play more on it, i am not normally a fuzz guy, I like either a mild ‘tube’ type drive,or go more for a crossover type clank like the Tech21 DP3X or dUg amp. What i want to know is @alexclaber i reckon it will do the overdrive nicely as well as fuzz, but will the distortion do ‘clanky’ or is it still more organic? Keep going, i like it so far

It does look interesting, good on them. I am not normally a fuzz fan, but I would like to hear it

Welcome to the compression world! Its never a substitute for poor/good playing, done/set right allows you to keep your dynamics Allows you to voice and place your instrument at a better level consistently with whatever or whomever else you are playing with, or with not!

I get what you are saying, it was more the generalised broad brush initial statement which was saying developing world countries are corrupt. I am not saying they are not, BUT it’s more than ‘smaller’ nations rulers being potentially bought, taking bribes, siphoning money. It goes deeper than that. Why are they behaving that way? Is it because they are all inherently bad, or is it because of systematic oppression, looting/pillaging of resources systematically over many years from outside developed countries that creates a state of mind leading to corruption, power hunger, internal oppression. Democratic republic of Congo should probably be one of the richest countries in the world based on its natural resources, it’s also not small as it’s the size of Western Europe - its corruption was/is definitely not internally driven. And on something being ‘in the mix’ this was clarified on the helix thread that bass guitar is likely to be played with other instruments be it actual or computer/synth generated - it is therefore nearly always in the mix, bedroom or live, even if it’s double/tripled tracked with itself to layer a sound, it’s still a mix

I am a little slow of thought it appears - trying to work and read BC, my bad

Ricky short for Rickmansworth Thompson Way was the road built where the old school was - no twins there though

Used to live in Ricky - Thompson Way by the leisure centre, she was a terror

You are missing the point on this, but it’s not the thread for it - yes an index might say country X is corrupt - but if the reason for their corruption is driven by outside ‘less corrupt’ countries - there is the problem.

I am elitist

Mine - Darren Jones on the other hand is very very good and a nice fellow to boot

Oxford/Jenner have always been a non profit organisation, obviously teamed up with Astra Zeneca for the manufacturing of the vaccine, so this is completely within the MO of that organisation, and is of course very welcome. Re corruption, its such a difficult topic and roots far deeper than you can imagine.Non ‘developing world’ countries are not exempt, but its unfair to tarnish developing world countries so broadly. You have to ask, how did they get to that state, how and by whom is the corruption driven? Unfortunately ‘developed’ countries have very very dirty hands relating this, and it is often in their interest to keep it fuelled.

As ever the devil is in the detail - the efficacy of 70.4 percent as based on a review of results across the board - across the 20,000 participants different dosing regimes were used. One of the regime's seemed to be 90% effective, the other about 62%, but they actually had more than 2 dosing regimes across the trial with different trial groups. The dosing regimes did not all start at the same time, so later groups may take time for their results to come in. Also they did seem to report a good effect in an older population. The next thing to report will be longevity-if the 70% (as we’ll call it for now) gives long standing immunity, but the 90% only gives a short immunity, which is the better product? Both moderna and Pfizer had double the amount Of participants with a stable vaccination programme of 2 doses, in a novel vaccine. Oxford/Jenner/Astra Zeneca used an existing vaccine,easier to store and distribute, but were changing the vaccine schedule based on immune responses seen after doses were given.If you stuck with the 90% effective regime (if that is the correct one) then if you accrued the same number of participants as the other 2 you may well get results of a similar nature. What i did find strange was Pfizer said 90%, moderna a few days later said 95%, all of a sudden a couple days after that Pfizer said 95%................ More testing still to be done, let’s see how it goes

Agree that the anti-vaxers should not be given air time, but they should quietly object-that’s their choice. I don’t understand the almost Trumpian use of stats to back up a war/Covid analogy - yes there were approx 70k civilian casualties across the whole war, but the Somme lost 58k in one day. Some of the ‘soldiers’ were practically civilians such was the loss of people with more training. Then there is the knock on of malnutrition, disease, famine, injuries all leading to deaths. Also between the 2 wars tactics changed from mass shelling and bombing to more targeted warfare, so civilian casualties would be less naturally. C-19 then would not just hit civilians, it would hit everyone. The real one to compare to is actually the Spanish Flu immediately afterwards which absolutely ripped the world apart - no doubt partly caused by the war. It really is better to compare apples with apples

Yep all true, I have learnt what sounds ‘wrong’ isolated to sound ‘right’ in context

Somewhere back some pages there are ones listed which are about right

Gig wise i ave had no issues and ain’t noticed the lack of snug ability, but i will check

Great plugs - I have 2

Yit may just be the plug I think, but obvs a daisy chain can be gotten as well
