[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1327013058' post='1505377'] Ethical debates like this are fraught with danger. ...Or do we stick our fingers in our ears, sing LALALA and carry on as before? [/quote] spot on. we would all have to cancel our bank accounts, stop paying tax, stop shopping in supermarkets, and basically live in the woods and hunt our own food if we want to be ethical. where do we start ?

[quote name='badgerific' timestamp='1326999429' post='1505063'] Just had a look at the demos for the Tracer City, Wow and Flutter and Mini Ark. They all look and sound awesome, cases seem far too big though. [/quote] i assume that the size of the enclosures are due to all of the dials/switches rather than the circuits. for instance, the Octavius Squeezer could probably do many of those duties, but would be impossible to achieve that 'tweakability' without all of those accessible controllers..

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1326996670' post='1505001'] Some impressive sound textures in there... It's as big as my pedalboard though! [/quote] true, it's a beast, although it'd sit nicely next to a moog, no ? also - some of their other pedals look interesting.

i saw this, courtesy of a mate sending me a link. looks like a heap of fun ! it hosts more knobs than the house of lords (well, o.k., slight exaggeration ) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pr8o4SGwW8[/media] [url="http://snazzyfx.com/"]http://snazzyfx.com/[/url]

great job ! soundclips would be an added bonus..

enjoyed that ! good work.

cheers Mr.Excane, i was looking forward to this demo, and it did not disappoint in any way. finding a Depth Charge (without going direct) is proving difficult. i'm saving my pennies now. nice one, si

depends on budget really, but this gets lots of good reviews for a reasonable layout. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQDSDA929Sw[/media]

[quote name='jmstone' timestamp='1326706996' post='1500613'] Hi All, Thanks for your replies. I think we solved the mystery before the Zoom technical dept got back to me: "I suspect that there is no fault with the unit and that it is being employed with possibly a headphone for monitoring and has no effective ground circuit. The modern power adapters such as the AD-16F is of switch mode design without a ground / earth terminal. This type of supply suffers from common mode rejection which can manifest as hum or induced noise when any metal surface is touched. When the unit is connected to its sound system, a mixer or amp, the unit is grounded and the problem is negated. With the very high price of copper, older low impedance transformer type adapters are regrettably being phased out. Regards, Roy" Out of interest, does anyone know of an AC/DC 9v .3A adapter that would provide an effective ground circuit? [/quote] i've had good results with these two companies.

[quote name='jmstone' timestamp='1326580779' post='1499232'] No - it's fine on batteries, it's fine on mains if I plug the output into the computer soundcard, and monitor from that with headphones. The only problem is when I have the headphones plugged direct into the pedal, and I get what I can only describe as a slow build-up of static - with clicks and pops when I touch the strings or any metal bits of the pedal/plugs. As I said, I tried my other pedal with plugging the headphones straight into the output, and the same kind of distortion happened there.. really weird. Tried swapping out everything - guitar, headphones, plugs, PSU, but to no avail. Any idea what's going on here? [/quote] same set of headphones ? otherwise running out of ideas based on your description, - maybe faulty headphone lead/jack plug - clutching at straws here.

a minute and a bit well spent... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KcEVXfS7I0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KcEVXfS7I0[/url]

[quote name='jmstone' timestamp='1326483632' post='1497952'] I just bought a b21u and have a problem with the sound crackling and distorting when it's plugged into the mains. The sound is a kind of high frequency fizz which occurs when I touch the strings and also if I touch metal components on the unit. If I hold onto the bridge or metal parts of the lead, the distortion goes. Also if I run the unit on batteries, there are no issues. I thought it may be an issue with the guitar, but having checked the connections and re soldered the connection to the bridge I am not so sure. The psu which came with out is rated at a higher current than suggested in the manual, but out seems odd that they would ship something that doesn't work properly. Is it a bad unit or something else? Thoughts would be gratefully received. [/quote] sounds like an earthing problem. try a different power supply perhaps. although before this, try plugging the power supply into a different wall socket, in case it's your mains that is at fault.

dubstep that will eat your soul. huge volume imperative !! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-9MzOzC5Bo&feature=related[/media] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr1XzXuCX9g"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr1XzXuCX9g[/url]

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1326409270' post='1497023'] Yeah it could work becuase if the only option of a programmable board is the Gigrig or Octaswitch then a 3 or 4 loop option pedal could be the only other alternative. Can you buy them in the UK? [/quote] not that i'm aware. i just snagged one on here though..
