Congratulations. You arrogance makes any contribution you make to the debate irrelevant, as you are clearly incapable of giving anything like an objective view. Not to mention your views of amps and cabs are still in 1985.

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

If you're going to soundcheck then do it properly and quickly. We play in pubs. We've played together for years. We are very familiar with our equipment. A quick line check is plenty - does it make a noise? If so then stfu 😂. It's very rare that it doesn't sound good from the start. There again we only have the vocals going through the PA. There is absolutely no need to mike up the drum kit in the Dog and Duck and spend half an hour trying to get the kick drum to take out the back wall. Keep it simple, keep it under control.

Your focusing on the practical protection for doing this rather then the principle here. Tech companies (billionaires) are using media and content that has been provided for free on the internet to train its models and effectively replace humans in the generation of creative endeavours. And charge us to do so. It may not mean much to you, but for lots of people AI will be an existential threat. In my industry it already is. This stuff is funny, but it normalises what is effectively theft. 16,000 artists against it here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/21/we-need-to-come-together-british-artists-team-up-to-fight-ai-image-generating-software 1,000 here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyd3r62kp5o.amp More here: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/10/24/artists-statement-opposing-artificial-intelligence-content-scraping People against machines aren’t luddites looking to stop progress. AI (in its current forms) isn’t progress. It’s derivative rubbish.

You've got the gig at the ball? 😆

We do option 2, but we do it by playing a song that's not on the set list for the night. Me and the two guitars are wireless so we will wonder about to get a feeling for the sound. The singer tells everyone it's a soundcheck so if we stop abruptly to adjust something or start over again it's generally accepted.

I shan't say anything other than this post is offensive. Carefully considered offence. Especially to those of us with hearing loss or those of us that have been doing this for a long time and have evolved with many ƙinds of tech. So, what's being said here is that because I'm passionate about big valve amps, I like my hearing impairment? It's difficult to interpret this in any other way. It's a nasty vibe. Hearing loss/impairment is not a joke and ACS wasn't a thing we were aware of in 1985. It's rare that we see such a vibe on BC. The original post has the sanctimonious air to it that tries to belittle those that don't align or agree. Vile.

Tunnel Vision - Kodak Black

I have been reading up on the Warm Audio 76 FET Compressor It certainly looks cool

If you sign up for updates they are ask for your amp model, not what "valves" you are wanting.

You know….. I might just prefer the guitar one

Not going to be unplayed for long 😅

Did a pedal trade with Jim. Awesome to deal with, all went fine! Pleasure to do business with!

What happened?

Yep, i imagine it's for exactly that reason, it gives them deniability, which at their prices and with their reputation, they should not need. Poor form

£262 for a Bart P? I could buy a Monty's P and have a semi-extravagant hour out in Cheltenham with Mr Monty himself for that money. Christmas Eve!!!

Beautiful isn't it?

You certainly avoid a misdescription that way

I just bought a Sansamp Programmable from Jez. An easy transaction, fast postage, and a gnarly pedal as described. Would happily buy from again. Cheers!

'51s are the new black Andy. You watch, this time next year they'll all be playing them 👍

I thought I had seen and heard Marcus playing a Sadowsky 5 string, check this out. Pretty sure he used this same bass on High Life by Wayne Shorter. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1705956527472114&surface_type=vod&referral_source=vod_newsfeed_unit
