I get very close with a couple of different combinations of pedals I have: Fairfield The Accountant compressor and a clone of Fairfield Barbershop drive Boss BC-1X and Jupiter Jive But they both need quite a bit of additional EQ and I wish I could get it in a single small pedal. The Vulf Compressor plugin is brilliant for it of course, but it's a plugin only. I wish they'd do something with a pedal brand and get it in pedal format.

Nice and clean. What do you use the Ampero Switch for?

“Rush” UK Tour March 2027

I don’t whether that person even exists. She is known for doing a lot of that stuff herself and has mentioned that she had built her kit for this tour. She would obviously have a tech for any tour, but I’m not sure whether that tech is specific to her. Interestingly, the article didn’t say whether she is sticking with TAMA or going the DW route. I guess we’ll find out in due course. -

Sod 'em, as long as I can hear it 😁

That's fine if the bass is going through the PA. But if your combo is also providing sound for the audience, they're not going to hear any mids/highs at all because they're all being directed to the ceiling. And we all know: no mids = mush.😀 You can always raise the combo close to ear level, but then you're going to lose LF reinforcement.

A slight change to my pedalboard with the addition of the Lusithand F1 filter preamp. It’s so nice to be able to create those thick Wal tones with this addition❤️ -

“Rush” UK Tour March 2027

Whereas XTC, Tears For Fears and FGTH can bang out Steven Wilson reissues (including remixed albums, ATMOS/DTS mixes) for sub £30.00. Pricing on these Super-duper deluxe boxsets are bonkers. Queen, Kiss, Rush etc. all guilty. Elderly fans (because lets face it, we're all nudging 60) have oh so deep pockets. -
I keep buying these as I love them, but keep needing to sell for other things. Once I sell my Bergantino head, im going back to EBS amps which have it built in (albeit much simpler) Probably the best value for money compressor you can get. This is the third "Studio Edition" of the legendary EBS comp, which features the classic three modes Tube SIM - adds a lovely warmth and Thickness to the mids. Great for Growly rock tones. Multi band - compress the highs and lows seperately,tames the high end snaps and leave the low end a bit less compressed for depth and clarity. Great for equalizing between a finger and slap tone. Normal - the classic EBS sound found on their amp heads. Nice Transparent tone,that gently evens the tone, without adding Colour This comp is a great choice for people that want variety and great tone, but very easy to use. This is in fantastic condition, with Velcro on bottom. £80 incl UK only delivery

I wonder if people had similar discussions when the self-playing 'pianola' was invented.

I would be worried if I'd trained as a mastering engineer, or was a commercial jingle/advet music maker or made background music for TV/games etc. those aren't careers that are going to be around in 10 years. People making original music recordings I'd say they are going to be up against more competition, but AI can also help them. There hasn't been much £ in recording music for a while now though, it is all in live performance and merchandise and endorsements etc. so I'm not sure if it'll make a huge difference to purely recording musicians. Live performers haven't got much to worry about, and people that just like playing instruments have nothing to worry about. I'm not woried as someone that enjoys playing instruments with a band and gigging. People have had the option of just listening to recorded music at home for over a century but they still want to go out and see live music and have that human connection (all be it less so then previously). I wouldn't mind at all for music to go right back to the folk type 'turn up to a pub with an instrument and all have a sing along' stuff, everyone being part of it, I've no interest in being seen as anything special up on a stage.

Jam Rattler and DOD FX 91 Bass OD for sale Rattler is a great RAT clone for Bass with a really useful blend dial to keep the bottom end in. Load of online demos on YouTube. I've got the original box and packaging with this one. There's not a scratch on it. FX 91 is the first Bass fx I ever bought from good old AI music in Manchester on Oxford Road. Rattler is £145 posted royal mail (recorded). DOD FX 91 is 55 posted (recorded) Both have large velcro strip on the back but easily removed. No trades thanks. For collection in south Manchester knock a fiver off each price.

If I were searching for a midi keyboard, I would be looking on Facebook Market place, and popping into the local cash converters and charity shops. It's easy to look up the specifications of whatever comes up - and if it has Midi DIN, then you can play it and see if it feels right for you. I picked up a £50 Kurzweil SP76 from Cash Converters, which has Midi-din, and I later realised that it has multichannel Midi capability.

While wasting some more of my life scrolling through youtube shorts, I came across information from Japan. The Japanese have been painting stripes on their cows, but for different reasons. Their reasoning is that stripes confuse mosquitoes who then don't know where to land on the cow. Less bites lowers the cows stress and so produces more and better milk. There, now you've wasted a little bit of life too.
