    I have a long history of buying multi FX things and not using them because the editing options just make my head spin. So then I sell them. When I got the Tonex some time ago I messed with the editor and it was not intuitive for me and it went into a drawer. I messed with it again last night. There has been an editor update in the meantime and it is doing exactly what I hoped it would in a way that was really easy. Thank you Tonex bods.

    The fact that I am selling one is immaterial (no, really). If wanted to get super gnarly, I would be plugging in to one of these.

    Things I used to need, that I no longer need. I am certain you know how it is. 1. Broughton Synth Voice Deluxe - £150 Blah blah blah. This is what it does. 2. Ken Smith PAPA floor pedal Preamp + Headphone amp - £300 A Smith preamp in a box. So all your basses can pretend to be Smiths. I am aware that there is more to it than that. This is what our Ken said "Since we came out with the new 18v circuit, many people have asked to buy these to either upgrade their current Smith bass or put it in another bass. Often, it will not fit without major modifications or fit at all. So, after a few years we completed the Smith P.A.P.A. Preamp/Practice Amp for external use. This is the exact circuit as in the current Smith Basses. No modification to your bass needed plus, you have the added practice amp feature as well." 3. TC Spark - £33 It is a TC Spark. 4. SFX Micro Fuzz - £40 It does fuzz things and is tiny There is a tuner in there. I decided to keep it for now. Unless you REALLY REALLY want it.

    Very yes. What a cracking ensemble sound with yer man laying it down in all the right ways. See also Robert Sledge in Ben Folds Five stuff. Not to be confused with Ben Folds stuff.

    In the French system, I believe that you have to meet a certain quota of gigs annually, and income before gettting the benefit, and that annual number of gigs has to be maintained.

    Ummm.... a 64' stop? Sorry. Pedantic. I know.

    Is this genuinely needed?

    Smaller speakers blah blah blah more displacement blah blah. A big cab pushing air is a very fine thing.

    The Apple/non Apple hardware thing is real. They release updates which whack new knock of adapters out of the running. That is probably where the issue is. I have no Cubasis experience, but if I were to multitrack on an iPad I would be looking at Garage Band.

    On the spur of the moment, I bought a Moog Sub Phatty. It appeared in the classifieds here and was "local" to where we were at the time. It turned our 5 hour journey home into an 8 hour journey. My wife is extraordinarily patient. I had been thinking about a small, monophonic synth for a long time and realised that the asking price was less than I would expect to spend on a bass. I have been messing with synth pedals for years, but this showed me that there is a reason keys played bass sounds different. Having all the controls in one place and accessible immediately has made playing and manipulating it very easy. Don't get me wrong, I am not doing Stevie Wonder bass (more is the pity) but I can do what I want with remarkable ease. It is SO much easier than doing a poor imitation on bass guitar. Am I going to keep it? I am not sure about that. Now that I have experienced it, I suspect that a midi keyboard running into Logic will provide all the synthy goodness I will ever need. But it is certainly my best ever impulse purchase.

    I know it exists in France and in other places. Just imagine. https://www.bigissue.com/news/ireland-basic-income-scheme-artists/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawNxok9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBtWTREamlHeXRnSEFpUGdEAR78RHRdvuSVagV9jVXJMOWNsYvbbd12fayeUuStFL0rbLQvJoHNz0oRyj3QnA_aem_lbdeRpo0P1km6wVd0wQ_Eg#Echobox=1761385832

    Fortunately, my impulse control is significantly better than it used to be.

    Filter preamps make my head hurt. But this thread has me fancying and Overwater Original.

    You will not regret it.

    Everyone should own a copy of this.

    I have one from the early 90's. I am quite a light guitarist and do not actually play much acoustic. So it lasted very well. Then one of my son's friends picked it up when they were rehearsing here. The finish got battered pretty quickly. I feel your pain.

    I used to use one when I was into carrying stuff around. It was certainly shifting the air at the top of the Matterhorn. I used it under an SRM450 as my backline. It was totally innapropriate and I am sure the people at the other end of the room were getting more LF than they wanted. But I had a lovely time

    A euphemism if I heard one
