Pedal power supply using 18V tool battery
EBS_freak replied to Aidan63's topic in Repairs and Technical
Put them in series. -
Especially for you. There's something innocently wonderful about seeing these chaps get introduced to Phil.

It's just so odd. Long Distance Transmission: this wireless guitar system adopts 24bit/48kHz sampling frequency, 30-16KHz frequency response range, and can reaches a 164ft long transmission range, without signal loss and no lag, instant fidelity, drastically pure the tone, delay<1ms <1ms would make it the market leader. But this could mean just the transmission element with out the 2xDAC processes. But even the <= 2ms latency (to include the DAC conversions) is mind blowing for the price. I'm not saying it's not possible... but I'm certainly skeptical. And the cramming in of 100 frequencies - I'm know that's possible if you are taking up a large amount of spectrum, but 863-865 (which is what I assume that it's using), is not a large amount of spectrum. So it could be true - but running them in the UK could be highly illegal if they are not in 2.4, 5 or 863-865 portion of the spectrum. It makes no mention of shared mic license... and trying to mass produce wireless for non 2.4 or 5 for worldwide use... well, it's not going to fly... from a legal viewpoint. Oh hang on - in one of the pics it says 500-940 - which would explain the 100 channels... but would also make it highly illegal in the UK from a radio broadcasting point of view The amazon questions section makes for entertaining reading. So many numbskulls. The mind boggles.

A hard cut, or like a fm radio cutting in and out? Digital would hard cut, analogue will get the fuzzies. Im guessing that this unit is analogue if the drop outs are not hard cuts.
-
Was the drop out a clean drop out, or a fuzzy drop out?

I dont get the obsession with Rhythm Stick. I must be on my own.

Nope - that works based on a 5v input. -
Whats the jack look like on the Elrick. Lets see if we can identify it so we can look at it's construction and attempt to figure out what is unique about it that causes this drop out.

Dream basses that left you disappointed
EBS_freak replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
So many parallels! Thunderbird - too right. Look good on everybody but me. And yeah, totally uncomfortable for me - they are never going to balance due to the strap position. Defo a "look" bass as opposed to being comfortable. Rickys- that about sums them up. Like playing a broom, look great... but that's about it... sadly. Jaydee. They look so dated. Dont really get them... Yet loads of people said that I should get one. Never really given them a chance... but never really dug on the MK link. Having said that, an old teacher of mine has a Calibas - really plain... that looked great and sounded great. I want to hear a King Bass without stupid 30s on... so it could potentially sound like a bass as opposed to a typewriter. I am quite drawn to Status but had a bad experience which means I'm not likely to ever go there. Modulus and Gould have gone silly money too... I just like the idea of quite a dinky bass. -
Filling the "gaps" in a 3 piece - during guitar solo etc

In fact, I think I went to one of their gigs. I came back humming the lights. -

I wonder if that's hard to play.... ...cos it's damn hard to listen to. -

What's not to like... cheeky wink for the lick.

EBS_freak replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Did DS buy his? -
The UI16 is the result of a buy out of SM Pro - you may have seen the uMix mixers. I think Soundcraft needed a mixer to fill the digital market quick and that was their way of doing it - buy it rather than develop it. As a mixer, the HTML interface is appealing as it's then platform agnostic as far as controllers are confirmed. You could run it from a browser running on a Raspberry Pi for example... but apart from that, I've never really warmed to it as a unit. If you are looking for simplicity and function, it's probably not a bad bet though.

Is anybody actually buying those grim BTB basses? -
And it’s a completely valid, safe solution. And easier than changing pots.
-
There’s nothing wrong with servisol cleaner. WD40 on the other hand...
-
Well done! And nice bass!
-
How to service an amp: Unscrew covers. If there's open slots in the pots, squirt some servisol into them... give them a good rotate. (This step is completely optional) Give the amp a good vacuum and make sure any fans are free of dust. Reassemble. Done. Collect £50. EDIT: if you are servicing a combo, you may want to tighten everything to ensure no rattles.

I actually checked out their (slow) webpage and the M3 got my interest. It's basically a rip of the Wireless Rode Go (just under 150 quid). Can't find anywhere selling it though to get a price!

Pretty accurate to the <2.9ms specs.

So many questions on those... Dynamic range is pretty low ~90dB. Analogue systems tend to be around 100dB and digital 120dB. Are these things analogue or digital? The dynamic range would suggest analogue... but the fact that there is a latency even registering in the ms range would suggest digital. Typically analogue systems would be measuring latency in µs. Things in channel 70 are typically analogue. Simultaneous broadcasts on 100 channels? Huh? Analogue wise, you can only fit 4 intermod frequencies in channel 70. If you were to use a high density mode (like on the top end digital stuff, that crams 63 channels at 1mW within 8Mhz of spectrum... (more channels, yet reduced range)) you'd only get 15 units in the 863-865mhz space. The output power being advertised on these work out to be circa 31mW. If they work, they work - although check out the compander, (assuming that this is an analogue unit) especially on bass, as it can destroy your lows and make the high end brittle and harsh. Some prime BS in this marketing I think.
