Yes, and cars arent allowed to run you over on a zebra crossing but it's still wise to look left and right before you cross.............. (less snarkily, yes, theyve been required for over 20 years but you'll still encounter the odd legacy system out there so its a good idea to carry your own. Be prepared and all that dib dib dib) Yes, 13a plug in rcds exist - they cost about the same as a couple of pints https://www.screwfix.com/p/masterplug-13a-fused-plug-in-active-rcd-plug/44855

Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant

This is very interesting stuff. As you have posted the link, do you measure your own power requirement? I have always harboured doubts about using a single socket so it would be interesting to know if it was possible. I'll get one of those devices anyway but it would be good to have some idea. I'll certainly ensure the singer/guitarist is always utilising a single socket for his amp and the PA.

These are amazing basses. Unique design, lightweight and built to a fantastic standard.

Doesn't look like it atm. Im pretty new to the QC and im blown away at what it will do. Lots of compliments from sound techs and crowd about the sound too. Id like to try the Anagram but think its a year or 2 away from being a real competitor to the QC

This is wonderful.

Aren't residual current breakers required for any legal installation ? (General question) Do they exist as simple carry along / plugin devices ?

Electric Lady - Justin Timberlake

This was my concern when the news broke that he had switched over to Fodera, that his signature sound would be missing from any new Mudvayne music, not so much Soften The Glare. The song isn’t bad, if anything it does have a fair bit of aggression that has been absent from their last few albums and as you’ve said, Chad sounds somewhat rejuvenated and even Matt has some tasty drum parts throughout. If they have gone ahead and recorded a new album or even an EP, I’m just hoping there are a few songs in which Ryan shines because he made listening to the unpopular albums (The New Game, Self titled) easier due to always playing something unique and having that unmistakable Thumb bass tone to fatten up the mix, or at least make up a big part of each albums sound. At least though, from a recent-ish pic, he does still have all of his Warwick’s, so you never know, one day😂

Think I’ve mentioned this before but when a venue asks to see any PAT certificates for your gear, then you also have the right to see their up to date EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate). If it’s a temporary event then the organiser should have evidence of the electrical supply completed to BS7909 standards.

Yep. I remember those days. The band was a refuge from all the other stuff that clamoured for my attention. Having said that, being in a band with those who have the family commitments, job demands, etc can be awkward. My band has recently had the "We'll have to limit the number of gigs we accept. The missus complains she never sees me, the job is demanding, etc" discussion. I understand their situation and appreciate it's easier for me, as a retired single bloke, but having worked to get ourselves to a position where we are in demand, only to row back from it, is frustrating.

Shock To The System - Yes

Is the Anagram a better option than a used Quad Cortex which is perhaps 2 to 300 quid more?

I have a feeling I'm the winner. The actual area I generally use for a workbench is the bit of the keyboard drawer between the mouse mat and the edge, although I do occasionally move the keyboard to give me a bit more room. The settee to the right is a two-seater submerged to the same level all the way along. It looks very slightly messier than normal because Mrs Zero's watch is sitting on the keyboard being charged.

So you can't do it all directly on the Anagram? That's disappointing. I thought you could just connect up, say, a pedal to a send, then the output of the pedal to a return, and capture it that way, all directly on the Anagram itself. Here's a question... if you set up a patch with an amp and IR, is it possible to route a signal with them to the XLR out, and a signal without them to the 1/4" output jack, so you can go into an amp without the amp emulation?

I'm not sure whether this should be in this thread or the "Rehearsals" one. I've been sort of recruited to a(nother) band and last night was our first go at playing together. It was a combination of band rehearsal and jam night, with the next one being in a weeks time at a different venue. We did it at the Shirley British Legion which is where I go to an open mic night, and as we had one attendee from the open mic night who did a few songs, I think we can call it a jam night. Plus we did a lot of jamming. So it looks like Magnolia Protocol is now a band.
