So I picked up one of these monsters fully working for £100 quid, was that a good price? No idea!

Im really looking forward to going to a 50th birthday bash this weekend in Hampshire. The birthday girl is the lead singer and writer of an old origionals band I was in 20 odd years ago. We've stayed good friends after all this time. The reason I left was entirely benign, I was moving down to Devon with my very young family to start a new business. Over the years our 2 familes (she also has 2 kids, now young men) have stayed in touch and see each other at least once a year, it's great. Being in bands have forged some lifelong friendships that would probably never have happened otherwise, I suppose its the cameraderie of being on a stage (or corner of some really grotty student pubs) with your fellow band members that do that. Is anyone else still good friends with old band members, it doesn't have to end in acrimony all the time does it?

Its a numbers game, make it 3 and it gets easier.

ok it arrived today, brilliant service by GAK btw, first impressions, the footprint is smaller than I thought (good), nice and hefty, solid (also good), been through some of the factory presets and some nice quality sounds in there (Octaver, MuTron and Arpeggiators jump out immediately), complicated as hell to get to grips with,(not so good)but thats after 10 minutes staring at the handbook with incomprehension, there's a learning curve here as opposed to single pedals that I had forgot all about since I had a Digitec RP1 25 years ago! Its going to take some time to get my head around it but thats ok

Nice little Youtube video, those little runs are devilishy fast (for me), good practice, its going in our set!

Looks absoloutely brilliant! Im only a tiny bit jealous! If I could get on with 5 strings I'd be wanting that back, well done!

Ok I pulled the trigger on one, £131 from BAX, silly money, I will report on its gig'fullness!

get thee to Guitarchat!

Im pretty much an individual pedals guy, compressor, phaser, tuner, looper and tube pre amp pedals, happy with the sound etc, however Im strangely lusting after the above as an addition to the pedal board, most notably for the pitch shifter, trem, chorus and other goodies that the zoom offers. Instead of spending a small fortune on that lot individually do you think the zoom would offer a decent alternative for gigging (pubs)? Im using a 75P into Ampeg SVT-CL and HLF 410, or if space is tight, DI into desk running 2x RCF Art 315 and Mackie Thump subs. For £135 the zoom is crazy cheap for the money but are the effects usable live and can it be used in conjunction with other solo pedals? Cheers folks!

hmmm not a big fan of Mackie, they ruined Tracktion DAW and Ampeg and their PA gear sucks

just sits in the mix so well, turn it all the way up and good to go..

probably suck out all the bottom end

Got my lad this Tele copy and its fantastic, and I know cr*p when I play it (you should hear me), so for the money they're usually pretty good https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbt1952.htm

£158 worth a punt, can even return it if its sh*te https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mm_84a_sb_deluxe_series.htm

thats a great result, well done Sandberg!

Mad. I like gumtree, used it lots to buy and sell, the whole point of it being local and cash based.

I used to run an old peavey power amp in bridge mode, think it cost £150, 1500 watts or something at 4 ohms, tons and tons of reserves of power, was great!

the newer delux core bundle might not have that problem

yeah the scrolling via footswitch would be useful, forunately theres probably only going to be 3 or 4 times I use it so bending down to change patches is fine. I have to confess that I wasn't able to load samples via the usb/PC interface, theres some info on youtube about how difficult that is (to do with bitrate and renaming the files), so I just played the sounds out of my PC speaker headphone socket into the loop pedal and saved them on the pedal, works fine.

great bass..

Look how far down the list is John Martyn and Danny Thompson, Id have paid just to see them!

Hi folks just thought I would let you all know I've got the Nux Loop core running on my pedal board. Its got 99 memory slots for saving loops so for my use I downloaded some moog drone in E and some birdsong and then loaded it onto slot 1 and hey presto opening of Rush's Xanadu (for our medley)! Also have an air raid siren going in slot 2 for opening of War Pigs. I think for £65 (BAX) its not too bad a way of triggering effects or even backing tracks, but I'll let you know how it pans out in a gig (Sat), anyone else use something similar for this little money (im a terrible tightwad)??

same here, what sad news, he was very helpful to my enquiries, I have his VT2 eq preamp pedal and its brilliant, RIP Dave..
