    Yes it is. (I haven't managed to collect it yet, because I've been ill.)

    Nice build, was this one of the first batch of 10? Nice cat as well BTW 🙂

    Thanks Kim for a smooth deal. I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this and trying out some Toneprint effects!

    Is anyone using this Behringer MX882 mixer/splitter (or similar) at the heart of a band IEM solution? Interested to hear about your experiences with solutions like this. Mine arrived today and it's very promising for my use case: a cheap, easy to use reliable starter IEM solution for small bands. It provides a split for each signal (vocal mics, 2 drum mics, guitar bass) to FOH and a common mix from it's twin XLR main outs to this simple multi-headphone amp powering 4 x IEMs, wireless or wired. When I route the main XLR outs into my Scarlett 4i4 XLR ins I set them to route to the headset out (3/4) and connect that with a TRS cable to the headphone amp. Because there are 4 line outs on this audio interface I can create two extra stereo pairs for extra IEMs. And can record the whole lot live over a stereo mix to my laptop (Linux with Ardour using Pipewire). Any band member can add more of themselves with these personal monitoring amps that they use to split their own signal before it gets to the MX882. The IEMs we're trying out are the inexpensive KZ EDX Pros, in keeping with the low cost as we are experimenting with our first foray into IEMs, with a view to upgrading everything as and when.

    I'm not sure I understand what "not pressing the power button fully" means. Can you explain please what happened and what the techs said, I'm surprised that they did not look at it again if it failed only 6 months after a repair!

    Yep the Boss WL20 works well, pretty much the easiest to use on the market, just plug them together and they do it all for you. If concerned about running on 2.4 as the Boss does then NUX do one that runs on 5.8 and is almost as easy to use - a couple of small on/off buttons.

    I bought a TC BH800 off Kim. Great to deal with, super efficient and I can't wait to get stuck in with the Toneprint effects! Highly recommended.

    Tried plugging 2 basses in (1 in A 1 in B) with A+B disengaged. Channel A selected and the bass is nice and clear, select Ch B and the bass is inaudible unless the Drive is cranked and there is a low level (massively overdriven by now) output. Pretty sure that is not how it is meant to work; I've even read the manual. I can only surmise that Ch B is fecked! It can't be used as a 2nd channel nor can it even be summed with A to give a bit of Drive because any combination involving Ch B drops the volume and you'd need to put the Drive on 100% to even hear anything (which would still be loads quieter than A). Looks like a repair job or return to seller!

    I had a Boss WL20 (with the Cable Tone) for ages and love(d) it. I just set my EQ to allow for the slight ‘top’ it gave. I found it gave me some ‘punch’. After struggling with dropouts recently I put this down to the (slightly) busier pubs we were playing so changed to the Blackstar Airwire i58 as it was the ‘most similar 5.8ghz from a brand I trust’ I could find. This one has switchable cable tone which I’m currently liking ‘on’. OK I have to remember to charge them but I don’t have ‘another thing to plug in’. I would add that I don’t really run (or walk!) about that much but I like the tone it gives me and they are great for sound checks as you can get to the back of the venue to see how it sounds.

    Certainly looks like it! (Edit) According to Google… Dave Lee Travis was a host of the German music show "Beat-Club" from 1966 to 1969. He replaced the original host, Gerhard Augustin, after eight episodes.In early 1969, Travis was replaced by Dave Dee, of the band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.

    Having joined another band playing a few outdoor jolly’s I feel the urge to run about albeit slowly at my age. a]Anyone recommend a wireless that doesn’t rob your bottom or squeeze your epic solo moments to death? Be nice if a mortgage wasn’t required I’m talking fundays and weddings not Glastonbury lol

    Yes it's a great venue. I'm struggling to get in with other busy Leeds venues. We've played packhorse and crank studios which were nice but it's great to be somewhere that people can find you easily rather than being stuck in the top room of a pub. Any ideas gratefully received. Chris

    Agreed and I'm not plugging anything into B but when you plug into the A input and engage A+B button using the switch to go from A > A+B there is a massive volume drop which you can't compensate for (it literally feels like going from 10 down to 1 or 2). Effectively with a single instrument it is a single channel pedal and trying to add channel B to add drive (or clean) reduces the volume to unusable levels. I'm now off to plug basses into A and B to see what we get.

    Hi. It says that Ch B can be added to Ch A using the A+B button and selecting A/B It says you can use a second instrument on Ch B through input 2 but it doesn't say you can monitor input 1 on Ch B So with the instrument in input 1 you can have Ch A, and Ch A+B That's what I'm working out from the manual?

    MXR M85 bass distortion. Great distortion pedal in good condition. Velcro on the bottom. £90 delivered. Any questions just ask 👍

    To avoid the drop outs you'd be better off avoiding the 2.4 systems as that is where most of the issues occur, however some folk manage perfectly well with them. If you want low/no latency you really want to be avoiding the cheapie (sub £60) systems... with the caveat that plenty people manage with the latency (be aware latency is cumulative if you have other digital systems in your pathway; inc radio trans/rec, desks etc).

    Any recommendations for my playing situations? Which are (a) pub cover bands, (b) jam nights and open mics, (c) rehearsals and (d) home learning and practices. I'm on a budget and looking at £300 max for systems with no latency issues and reasonable audio that doesn't break up or sound shitty on the low strings. A little hiss would be ok. I'm looking at an XVive type system for (b) and (c) and a rackable system for (a) and (d)** A wireless system might come in handy as I've just got an analogue splitter/mixer to use as a band IEM mixer and we all need to get feeds from the headphone amp it feeds. **though I've got a wired setup as a backup with a MA400 personal monitor amp fed PRE from my pedal's DI out and POST into a DI box, which feeds my stage amp. FOH can take the PRE or POST from either thru port. I've read mixed reviews of the XVive U4. A sax-playing mate has one, but she doesn't like the cut-outs in a busy gig.
