The Laughing Gnome - David Bowie

It Only Hurts When I Laugh - Rick Trevino

That's all I use mine on. One thing that gets kind-of overlooked about Klons is that the Gain control is essentially a Blend control. It's not quite that simple electronically, but I can hear no difference between zero gain and bypassed tones. If you're interested in the circuit details, there's a good analysis here. There are actually three signal paths: the distortion section, feed-forward network 1 (which sends some clean lows forward) and feed-forward network 2, which comes in more as gain is reduced, balancing the distortion stage.

Yeah agreed (well, sort of, I’ve tried most synth pedals and concluded that they are all too compromised/ impractical as well). I’m sure this will sell and hopefully work as well as it seems to in the videos, for home playing it looks fantastic, just can’t see it being very giggable.

when I saw him at the bass show, someone asked him about flats. He scoffed at the idea so it'll be rounds on his bass

we support each other. We are a team I'm lucky in that my wife adores me and also is a musician she has 3 pianos, two acoustic guitars, 2 Ibanez 6 stringers, 2 P basses, a bass collection thing me I have about 30 assorted guitars and we have rooms to put them all in I fancied a Rik recently, for the Jam tribute, she said get it, so I did we don't hide anything from each other, as we've discovered again recently Life is short (Bro-in law RIP 56 years old and dog walking friend, 63 just the other week) Be kind to each other

As it says, usually about £100 more than this: https://www.thomann.co.uk/warwick_gnome_i_pro_600w.htm

It’s gone for simplicity and accessibility, I guess if you want more presets (plus more options) you would be looking at a Fi4, C4 or EnzoX rather than this. The accessibility means it wouldn’t surprise me if this MXR outsells those three combined!

Although technically I think you need one more to make two pairs!

When I were a lad there were only two cores (apart from apple) - soft and hard. Soft was found under the Magic Porn Bush, with its pages stuck together by rain and who knows what, and hard was near-mythical - most certainly not what was shown in cinemas with titles like "Confessions of a Window Cleaner" or "Rosie Dixon - Night Nurse".

I just sorted through the tickets for upcoming shows and it's quite a lot. New Model Army Skindred Discharge / Conflict Airborne Svalbard Blood Incantation Arctangent Festival (Karnivool, Godspeed You Black Emperors, Melvins, Kylesa Tesseract, etc)

Nowadays that's not necessarily the case, as most will be freelancers specialising in whatever aspect of sound recording/mixing they're hired for... However, you definitely have a point about the past! I worked with studio sound people a lot in the days of live Top Of The Pops; their thinking was the sound must be "as is", no FX, no making it sound any better as that was cheating and not putting out exactly what was put in. This, I might add was also when these folks were exclusively recruited as engineers - there was no time for fancy frills and expression, twas purely a matter of keeping it within spec and watching the meters. Their thinking was "if the band don't sound good enough on their own it's not our job to help 'em!". As a result, most bands sounded terrible! I also had them working for me on a well known drama, and the amount of grief we had just convincing them to actually add to the plot with a spot of intelligent sound design was amazing. Not all of 'em, I might add! So I kept the best 2 or 3 and brought in sound dubbing mixers from Post Production (the others were studios) - their job was to make it sound good so that's what they attempted to do but because of studios demarcation, those mixers never got a look-in at music mixing.

I think we all end up there eventually. 😂

Cool, that makes it slightly more useable, but 8 is still not really enough, and presumably you have to write over the IMA presets? Yep, absolutely, I ended up selling my Sub 25 to get a 37 purely because there wasn’t enough patch spaces, nor could I keep track without some kind of display. If you need synth for just 1 or 2 songs this looks like it could be a great pedal, but for anything more I think I’m still in the (annoying to some) “if you want synth just get a synth” camp.

Sounds like old dead flat wound strings, fits this genre. But could be upright bass?

I have been using Ez Drummer 2 for many years. It has various styles of drumming, grooves. It has patterns you can mix and match, intro , chorus, verse etc. Just check you tube for tutorials. You can manually play drums with keyboard or pc keyboard and it will find the best match. There's an update available to choose from different music genre. But it looks like you're looking for a more AI based drum stuff (no fun in it in IMHO). I believe Ez Drummer has been now upgraded to 3 and even maybe 4 version. There is also one called Steven Slatter vat and many more.

Seen it too... AI is still not that good.
