Have you condemned both parties on all social media outlets ( Trustpilot,farcebook, X etc ) ?? If not I’d do that asap !

Another vote for the QC. I’m not keen on the Nano due to form factor and IO, but the full QC (and now the Mini just released at NAMM) are definitely worthy of consideration. With the new V2 Capture process, the captures are closer than ever. I’ve captured my REDDI, Khan VTDI and Sushibox Neptunium into my QC and it’s great having all of them available, even multiple times in the same preset (ie on 3 or 4 outputs so different instruments can run through them separately with different settings). With the amps/cabs/IRs, plus all the captures you can download for free of almost any DI/Preamp/Amp/Cab/Overdrive Pedal, and then all the effects on top, for me it is worth the price of entry. I should caveat this with the fact I haven’t sold the actual DI units (The Neptunium won’t come off my small grab n go board because its easily the best little tube preamp/DI i’ve ever had with it’s form factor, 9v power, and versatility EQ-wise), but i’m at the point where i’m wondering if I would ever need the others again now I have them captured into the QC.

Sadly Christianity has been complicit in some of the most horrendous crimes of the last couple thousand of years, and indeed the argument that many people give about not wanting to have anything to do with religion for this reason and instead pursuing secular humanism is entirely reasonable on this basis. Furthermore, if you follow contemporary Christian worship over the last thirty years or so, almost every one of the big worship marques has had a scandal/fall from grace at somepoint (or if they haven't yet they are probably about to) meaning that we wouldn't be able to use anything. For me, where art or technology are concerned, I prefer to separate the product from the author/creator, but nevertheless if you were in my congregation and specifically raised these songs and told me why you prefered for them not to be played I would absolutely, and prayerfully, consider the perspective.

Yes I've done that, sent pictures of package and everything, it was an e-bay purchase, they are looking into it, I'm just impatient, and they don't seem to be in a rush.

It felt poorly assembled and didn't give me any confidence it would last too long. Really lacked "substance" in my hands. As you may have read previously my reference points are two German made Warwicks.

My favourite one, when I was in a sludge metal band was someone committing on a video that we should switch to playing popular covers to make us more popular Thanks for that career advice. I always thought disgusting, soul crushing metal that appeals to weirdos was the route to fame and wealth. Id expected to be the new Taylor Swift by now.

Not the same noise but we had a proper b4llache dealing with a pulsing 'noise' through our desk. We thought we pinned it down to the sax players Zoom effects unit (when disconnected)... only to find that if he was plugged in and one of the guitar Helix was unplugged it went off! Argh.

Even through my phone speaker that tone is gorgeous! Awesome playing too.

I can’t be doing with friends and family coming to gigs. I don’t want them or me to feel awkward like they have to come or pretend to like it. I must admit I rarely go and see bands live now, either. I’m scared to leave the house in case the TV licence man is outside.

Wise words @Phil Starr. I have seen similar reports on various CQ forums. However these are likely to be from the same person. I can only add to be methodical. For example, the Zoom may or may not be part of the problem and if removing that solve the problem, do not jump to conclusions. Neither box may be at fault, just the two together and/or cable combinations. Good luck with your detective work.

That's a very strange noise. I don't think it is a cable. It's not clear from the pic what inputs you have to the mixer. The Zoom seems to be on, was that connected to anything? I've had strange noises (nothing like that though) from my Zoom when the batteries are flat. It sounds to me like something entirely separate from your sound system something mechanical like a relay chattering, maybe on a freezer/washing machine or anything really. It could even be in a neighbours house. That interfeence can either feed into your system from the mains or by radio waves. Anyway the first thing to do would be to disconnect everything from the mixer when you aren't using it and see if it ever makes the noise with everything disconnected. If it is fine at least you will be reassured it's your house and won't happen at a gig. Then reintroduce one thing at a time to see if any one connection causes the noise. If it recurs then check if it is that source which is faulty or the lead by swapping for a different lead with the same source. Good luck, these intermittent faults are often really hard to track down

All fair comments... re: fit - I use large Comply tips. I've got big 'ol ear canals, and they're just the job. Sound-wise.. it's such a personal thing, isn't it? To me, the lows don't sound boosted or flubby - just nice and tight, with lots of natural definition in the mids, and smooth top. One of the problems with IEM stuff is the inability to try before you buy... it's all a bit of a lottery, isn't it?

I have made a useful isolation platform for decoupling the acoustic noise produced by playing an electronic drum kit from the fabric of the building so my band could rehearse at my house without annoying the neighbours too much, but it was a significantly more substantial construction than a piece of plywood supported on two bits of "acoustic" foam,
