I really like the look of the sy-1. The only thing that would put me off is the lack of ability to save patches. So if you used more than one sound you would have to bend down and fumble with the nobs mid set, rather than just hitting a patch pedal. Other than that, judging by the videos I've seen on YouTube. It looks like the most useable synth pedal I've ever seen.

I always count to two when I see Carol Vorderman.

Yup. I still think these things are seriously underrated. Don't be put off by the name. They're better than a lot of amps three times the price. I don't even get GAS for other amps any more. This thing does everything I need, and then some.

Totally agree with this. I'd love to be a professional musician (I'm nowhere near talented enough) But I'd absolutely hate to be famous. A session musician gig where you get to play on stage to a large audience, but still go about your every day life unhindered would be perfect.

I knew the Ramones version first. Also Guns n Roses version of Sympathy for the Devil before the Stones version I'm sure there are many more.

Best gigs I ever went to was with a good friend of mine who is paralysed from the waist down and in a wheelchair. Although he's totally independent, he gets to take someone along as a career and they go free. So we'd go halves in the price of his ticket. Priority entry. The views were always phenomenal, no danger of anyone bumping into you or standing in front of you, and usually no more than a few yards from a toilet.

Fixed it for you.

No they just stand up. Then the people behind them have to stand up to see, and so and and so on. I would never go to a gig unless it's seated, due to a back problem which means I can't stand for long periods of time. Then you get some bell end standing and the whole arena has to stand. Which makes having a seat pointless. Pretty much the reason I haven't been to a large gig for over a decade.

More zombies popping up on here lately than on The Walking Dead.

Is this thread any good for metal?

Will pubs even be a thing in the UK after lockdown? From what I've seen on social media over the past few months it appears that every single person in the UK has built their own "pub" in their back garden shed. All future gigs will now include dodging dog turds and trying not to fall into a koi pond.

Thanks. Glad it's not just me who's never heard of it. 😅

There are still record stores? 😕

Me too. As long as they have some talent, and aren't pushy and in your face. Have at it! I've seen some absolutely amazing street performers over the years. Better than many I've seen in pubs and clubs.

Me too. But it's got to be a straight 4/4

Nope. Never played one. Can't stand the look of them, although there's no arguing with the sound, especially for recording. Closest I've come is a Jaguar PJ.

Pretty good with the head butting though? 😅

You just need to be better at multi tasking. Playing, singing and head butting simultaneously.

That's ok. I've got even less desire to be on the show than on an actual Island. 😅

A boat.

All of em.

Keh? What band?

I'm going to watch my first gig for about 18 months this evening. I suppose my band should start making plans to play in public, but if I'm honest, I'm really not that bothered.

I made my own by welding some angle iron to the legs of an old folding chair. It's actually much better than it sounds. 😂

I've never noticed it being particularly loud or problematic. Yes, you can hear it in a quiet room, but no more so than many other amps. Certainly not an issue once you start playing.
