Old thread I know, but if going this route I wouldn't use anything but the Apollo. It can do all your signal processing, so no need for the Noble or pedals. It has a 2nd input that you can use for a mono monitor mix, and it can feed your signal to FOH as well as feed your IEMs (are the main outputs separate from the HP out?) Neat all in one rig!

As has been said by others, I gig because I love playing live music. I love the camaraderie of a band on stage (the 'us vs the world' vibe) and some of the funniest and most enjoyable moments I've had with bands have been with friends on stage or in the studio. I've never lost the buzz I get from a successful gig or a good performance. I'm fortunate not to need the money (although it funds my GAS) and the current band I'm in plays solely for charity, which gives me another little buzz when we do the end-of-year distribution accounts. I've learnt so much from other, better musicians. In the early days I developed a self confidence which I was able to take back to other parts of my life. I'd like to think I've brought some fun to other people along the way.

Just a quick post gig report, went with a rode m3 on a stand in front of the bass, the player had borrowed the bass from somewhere so that seemed like the better option. It sounded pretty good thought the pa and luckily it was a small band as the hall wasn't that big either. Every one had a good time and I was gifted a very nice bottle of wine which made my evening very pleasant indeed. Thank you for all the advice. Matt

I’ve got a Rusty Box on the way as I couldn’t pass it up. I’m interested in whether people use these as an always on preamp or a drive pedal? in the case of the former, are you going into an effects return or similar? Essentially making that the sound of your amp. If you’re using as a drive pedal, how do you find it? cheers

I'd message them to find out what sort of screw it is and then have a look on eBay.

The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp - George Harrison

San Quentin - Nickleback

No Scrubs - TLC

Does anyone here has experiences with the Darkglass tone capsule preamp? For the bass I’m building right now I’m gonna use a Lace Aluma bass Barr pickup (at the stingray position) and the Darkglass preamp looks quite interesting to me.

Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash

If it’s mainly reverse delay you’re after, even the more recent Boss delays has reverse. Someone on here is selling a trio of them. The DD7 and DD6 definitely have reverse delay. They’re also handy as basic loopers…

No Problem I’m considered helpful and popular by both of my friends

TC Electronic Flashback delay has a lot of flexibility. Reasonably cheap second hand.

Thanks so much, @Bagman!
