Just ordered the new Boss GX-1B multi fx to try out Decided to cancel my Tech 21 VT order as I feel I can get more from the GX-1B for less money Will let you know my thoughts when it arrives

Please!

Really appreciate your efforts to push the product in the right direction, like you said earlier maybe the MXR was needed to show what the market wants. The addition of FM is just a dream bonus that I never imagined would be possible.

If I get a spare moment, I might manage a couple of clips of some of the DX7 sounds I’ve made.

I’d like to hear what you think. I had and loved this pedal for years but sold it before I got hold of the Grand Slampegg and Bassrig Fifteen so haven’t been able to compare. I’d be curious to try it again.

I've got some very good MIM Fenders. No Japanese ones though, but I'm not sure that the factories they came from were pushing out the world's finest instruments at the time; mostly midrange stuff.

This is a tricky thing, and partly a result of muddled/lack of marketing/market research. The FI is derived from a pedal that was a bass-only product. However, the FI goes way beyond that. The patches show what the device is capable of in terms of programmability. The manual reflects the pedsl’s ability to cover lots of territory. However, the marketing continues to focus almost solely on its being a “bass” pedal. This does mean that bass players have understandably felt perplexed by the seeming lack of bass-focused patches. Now it is a synth so there probably was an expectation for users to roll their own sounds to taste. However, earlier versions of the editor weren’t so user-friendly in terms of ease-of-connection, layout and patch management. These are things that I’ve pushed to improve in every iteration since 2019 and I feel the interface is much easier to work with than it was. Sure, it still has its own quirks and isn’t as slick as other companies’ editors, but it’s reasonably straightforward now and doesn’t suffer the software bloat/overload of other editors. The depth of on-panel parameter editing was also finally improved in v4 (I’d been pushing my implementation since 2019). Notwithstanding the aforementioned improvements, there are still many users who couldn’t or didn’t want to create their own patches via the editor. I hope that with a chunk of new classic sounds, the newly-added ability to copy and move patches directly on the pedal, and the deeper on-pedal parameter editing capability, these users will finally feel catered to; they’ll be able to modify the classic patches to their taste and copy the result to a new slot. As regards the DX patches, in addition to the obvious ones from the original DX7 internal patches which were all over records from the 80s, I’ve aimed to create and locate decent bass patches. If these don’t make the factory set, I’ll share them anyway via the cloud.

Aye - it's rare that I'll watch all the way through a concert video without skipping or worrying about the other stuff I'm meant to be doing!

Never mind the bass, he is 65 and in unbelievably good shape.

made a large purchase on instrument ive saved up for over last couple years recently. Just got a message from reverb that they need a image of my photo ID for verification and other proof. however im only a first time buyer not a seller. i read following, is this normal procedure if only buying? has this happened to anyone else on here where they have had to send photo i,d when only just buying a instrument? if so how did you send them your proof by email or in account its all a bit worrying as dont want them to cancel sale just want the instrument ive saved up for and finally bought . its all a bit confusing .

Love the bolt head to blank off the hole!

That's correct, I took the opportunity when I changed from your original cab to reshape the whole cab to specifically fit onto a 1220x610 sheet.

I've just had a read of that discussion and it looks like a reasonably common problem. These power supplies are usually pretty reliable so this is looking like a lack of quality control. They are the same sort of supply we rely on for running laptops and pretty much anything nowadays and the 5.5/2.1 mm plugs are pretty much standard too, though I'd expect better on an £800 mixer. The standard price for these seems to be around £12-13 and it looks like people who have the same problems as you are just buying them with a backup. Looking at them they are all very similar whatever the branding with a suspiciously similar sized case. Sadly it looks like Allen and Heath have cut corners with the power supply and haven't done the quality control, they've just bought them in. In your circumstances I'd just order one up from Farnell or even Amazon and try it. If it works then get a spare just in case.

Send Me Your Pillow - John Lee Hooker

It does.

Mine would be a Sei Flamboyant 5 string (the headstock version) but not with Bartolinis !

Tears On My Pillow - Little Anthony and the Imperials

Yep. Same here in NZ. Last time I checked there were only 2 in the country (pre-ordered) and maybe some on the way.....
