  1. Train kept a rollin - Tiny Bradshaw
  2. I wasn't being serious. However, I'm quite sure, the OC-2's sound would improve if it was bright yellow😉 You, sir, are a heathen.
  3. I think your pedal board would really be improved by a yellow and a light blue pedal. Whatever you do, don't put an OC-2 on it.
  4. As a headphone amp the Spectradrive works just fine, its better than my Elf and it also has the Aux in, which is very useful if you are learning covers. I bought this during the lockdown, I was at home, practising for several hours per day but wanting to stay on good terms with the neighbours (I thought my Elf's headphone out was faulty and it was about to be sent off for repair). The B1-4 was sold out everywhere, even Thomann ran out and I didn't want to wait a month or more for new stock to arrive so I thought I would buy the spectradrive and possibly make use of its pre-amp/DI facilities too. Both bits of kit are good value but the Zoom does a lot for very little dosh. Glam rock!😀 I suppose @javi_bassist's pedal board is a bit glam rockish, I am guessing Javi doesn't play in a death metal band😀. The colours are really nice though.
  5. I got both. London calling got played once or twice and then I just played the first track, London Calling and removed the stylus. Metal Box got played loads, the only thing I found annoying was getting the 12" discs out of the metal box; I flogged it and bought the 33rpm version when it came out. I bet that Metal Box with the 12" singles is worth a lot now.
  6. Yep, I'd second that. They did 7 nights at the Lyceum, either later 1980 or early 1981. I was tempted but I just assumed they would just be playing all the new cr*p, so I didn't bother. Friends told me the gigs were brilliant and they played lots of old stuff, so I missed out there.🙁
  7. Stand by your man - Dolly Parton
  8. I mainly use mine for its headphone out and aux in and a bit of compression but the overdrive comes in handy sometimes.
  9. I've no idea what it sounds like but the colours are beautiful
  10. Here is my practise board. It has only got 6 pedals, so I am aware how pretentious it looks.
  11. Wishing Well - Free
  12. I remember seeing racks of 'Flogging a dead horse' in the Virgin Megastore, probably about a year after the Great Rock n Roll swindle came out. Malcolm McLaren just milking the last penny out of the Sex Pistols name.
  13. The first album was a masterpiece, the second was ok, English Civil war, Tommy Gun etc, and then it went downhill. They stopped being punk, I'm so bored with the USA was put to one side and off to America they went.
  14. Car Trouble - Adam & the Antz
  15. Every little thing she does is magic - The Police
  16. I'd love to sound like Tony Levin, though I would need a bit more than a new pedal for this to happen!
  17. Red Scab - Adam & the Antz
  18. Except the Elf's fan is a bit noisy. I'm guessing that due to its form factor, the fan is more important. It is certainly louder than the fan on my MarkBass Marcus Miller 500W head
  19. I have to agree with you. You pay a premium for a made in England pedal, it certainly isn't good value for money compared to some Chinese made pedals, or even the Cali76bass. I don't mind paying a bit more for something made in England but I am also put off by the large form factor and the awkward power supply requirements. I ended up buying an Ampeg Optocomp, because it was very cheap and is as configurable as I need a compressor to be (and I like the Ampeg tone).
  20. No Class - Motorhead
  21. Mind your own business - Delta 5
  22. Overkill - Motorhead
  23. Billericay Dickie - Ian Dury & the Blockheads
  24. Mr Blue Sky - ELO
