Interesting. Would be good to have some vol and EQ control.

Hiya BCers. Need some advice on best/most efficient way to set up these separate pedal effects chains (going out to one amp). They don't need to be stacked. Signal 1: Tuner > preamp > fuzz > amp Signal 2: Drop tuner > drive/boost > amp I'm thinking I'd obviously need to split signals at the start of the chain, but then I'd need something at the other end like an ABY to do the actual switching, right? Cheers.

9/7/9/7 in the intro right? Or 4+5/7 also works better for the accents I think.

Maybe something like Refused (more on the post-rock end but hella riffs). Propagandhi for speed. Battles.

Currently learning some p. gnarly mathy rock stuff for a big Euro tour I'm depping for next year (come from more of an indie/pop background) - need my calculator for some of these time sigs! It's improving my playing though, for sure.

Really enjoying this 'get to know your fellow BCers better!' thing I've been advised to do.

What are the best guitar/instrument shops around at the moment? Or legendary ones that are still going strong? What are your worst gripes about guitar shops? And which are the worst shops around? I had a fun time at GuitarGuitar in Surrey a few months back - really nice range and enthusiastic, non-patronising staff, they let me try about five different guitars with no hard sell. Started shredding on a Firebird and got big thumbs up from a \m/ dude. Greatest guitar shop is S. Wales memory was Speed Music in Newport/Cardiff but they unfortunately closed down. Again, really enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff who were happy to let you blast LOUD on amps and always gave you a great deal. Worst I've been to recently was one of those on Denmark St. in London - knobbish staff chatting to their mates and making jokes about women not being able to plug in guitar leads (??!!) - and crap guitars to boot. Shop was totally empty as well which is a pretty bad sign considering its location. Forgotten what it was called mind...

I've had a quick search on the forums to see if this has been covered elsewhere but I can't find anything. Apologies if there are already a bunch'a threads about this. Anyway, I've recently bought a dream guitar and want to get it insured - it's going to be traveling with me to a lot of gigs in the UK and Europe... and possibly further afield. Got a quick quote from Allianz for 'worldwide including unattended vehicle' for £40 a year which seems... incredibly reasonable tbh. Obviously I would need to check out the details first but was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with buying or claiming on instrument insurance, good pointers on what to look out for etc. etc. Bit of a boring thread but any advice welcome. There are a *lot* of companies out there!
