Stub Mandrel

I played along using an online tab earlier, got lost a few times but my impression is that remembering what to play where is the hardest bit. The start of Willow Farm is the best bit 🙂

I notice it was the transmitter that went flat, which makes sense as its doing more work.

I like that idea.

Funnily enough it went completely dead about ten minutes ago! I left it switched on without using if but not sure for how long... so charging up again. the one worrying thing is it just stopped - there one moment, next moment sound off, light out! Not worried about latency - if I can hear anything it's barely audible. All my digital effects are old-school use the dry signal (chorus, flange, delay) as well as the digitised one so they won't add latency. I understand it's when you use fully digital processing that the latency starts to add up.

Surprisingly easy if you have it in your head rather than trying to count it...

Saw Steel Pulse ~1982 and also, at Reading '83 where sadly they were bottled off.

stinky poo happens... 🤣

That's my thought. I'm going to use for rehearsals (TBH we are unlikely to be gigging before late January).

Angels of Death or Master of the Universe. 🙂

Not necessarily. Some pedals have plastic cases and work fine. Plenty of amps have a steel chassis but large parts open to the air,. The answer is really 'it depends'.

Saw this discussed on a thread somewhere... arrived today, charged up quickly and very easy to use. I can't detect any change in tone on my practice amp. Very nicely presented and ridiculously cheap. It's lovely practising at home without a lead, even if I don't use it in anger! Roughly how long does a charge last and are there any things/situations to avoid?

If you put a used razor blade in the packet, it will be sharp enough to use a week later.

It's something when a pedal demo is better than 95% of the music out there in the charts...

Felt?

How fast does it have to spin before the guitars are all horizontal?

I'm not too far away and will be in the area on Saturday... Unfortunately I took a fender shipping box to the tip last Saturday. Not sure what I would ship it in (I'm not generous enough to send you one of my hard cases 🙂 ) But I sometimes venture further north - how soon do you want your paws on it?

I've got a mini 32-key midi keyboard and discovered that with a little tweaking Ignite's 'scanner pad' it can do a vaguely convincing facsimile of the introduction of Kasabian's 'Club Foot'. Bt Ignite requires a PC. Can anyone recommend a small box that is stuffed with sounds that can be controlled by a usb midi keyboard? Or am I better getting an old PS470? (I used to love my old one back in the 90s)

Hah! I have the 4x10 vented version, but with the 300W power amp in it. Did some digging and found a comment on another forum that '"250 watts won't begin to drive an 8x10 cab, you need more. " Oh yea of little faith...

Good one!

I detect a lot of sophistry here. No one is arguing that a big, expensive PA with IEMs can't give you excellent sound. Neither is anyone suggesting that a big bass combo or stack can take the role of a whole PA. I'm getting lost amongst the straw men... "Methinks they doth protest too much."

Reportedly Geddy and Eric are devastated at not being able to get out on the road again.

Well, I think it pretty much defined his sound in the 80s*. This isn't explicit but the reference to 'the rig in the main room' suggests he was recording the TE: As does this still, which has a 4x10 TE combo in it: As for live, the TE pretty much defined his sound, I would lay odds that any FOH reinforcement used a post DI from his amp: *Although he was happy to have keyboard bass and even sequencers when he thought it was appropriate.

But he has a COOL EGO, it's only UNCOOL EGOS he has an issue with.

You missed out the bit about saving drowning puppies.
