Hi all. I'm speaking to Rich Tone music about selling a couple of guitars to them. Due to distance, I would need to send to via courier (which theywill orgsnise). When others are couriering basses, where do they get boxes from? Also, any testimonies on selling to Rich Tone greatly received. Thanks in advance

So far Deezer is the only one I'm aware of that's trying it. Nothing I've read over the years about Spotify or it's owner makes me think he cares about much about the content on his platform other than funneling as much money as possible from the music industry into his own pockets. Unless his revenues start dropping off because people are boycotting Spotify in protest over unlabelled AI I can't see them taking any action.

Bought a nice Wren and Cuff pedal from @Clarky - well packaged and delivered so fast it was here almost before I bought it, which was nice! Very friendly chap and a very pleasant trade - thank you! Would definitely buy again 👍

That's a good point. A few years ago I tried a Zoom B1 Four a few years ago but these was a harshness to the sound of all the models on it that I couldn't get rid of. The Pandora is more basic but it's fundamental sound is better. I've actually resurrected my almost-dead Korg Pandora (I'm using a bit of metal to manipulate the broken on-off switch) and it still sounds good, although I'm seriously looking to replace it in the next few days when I will have some free time.

Even with the mix set to 100% wet the dry signal comes through. Is this normal? Is there anything to be done?

Stu bought a boutique pedal off me and everything was smooth as a snake! Many thanks and enjoy 🙂

Just bought a Kala U-Bass 5 string from @Black Coffee - very well packed / posted, great communication throughout and the bass was just as anticipated. No hesitation in dealing again. Perfect seller, thank you!

Personally I would just look at replacing with a used PX4, as it is something you are used to and obviously think highly of. I did see a used PX3-B (the older red one) somewhere online recently going for about 40 quid. I've been consistently dissapointed in some of the more "modern" effects. Most of it doesn't sound much if at all better than older gear imo.

Yeah the new FI4 update looks good, when is it out? I’m tempted to pick up a VIP to compare, I had a 3 a while back but be interesting to see how much better things are now. And the DX7 addition is great, Danger Zone ahoy! 😅

Yes, there is now the ability to copy/swap patches (at least within the VA engine) directly on the pedal. The factory patches are now built into the firmware file and can be reset directly on the pedal. As for onboard sound parameter adjustments, these are as in previous versions with access to 9 common parameters with full adjustment range. (I had hoped to persuade the team to implement a secondary layer of adjustments to take it to 18 but they didn’t go for it. We actually looked at full onboard parameter adjustment but it would have required either a cheat sheet for numerical entries or fairly cryptic 3-digit names and sub menus. The complexity of adjusting flexis via such a menu was what caused András to demur.)

Just a light-hearted focus on the "artificial" bit and what we're comfortable with in live performance, when music is arguably being created. Only human intelligence involved. But as @Woodinblack has rightly pointed out: AI isn't actually intelligent. Cool so you're a level 2 artificiality performer on the Krow scale. "Solo artists with backing tracks. Burn them." 😂 Love it! My former bandmate, who gets a chunk of her performance income from solo work, will be delighted to know that she's been shortlisted to add to global carbon emissions 😅

WOW that Shuker is fantasic.
