    My band is a noisy bass/drums/vox 3-piece. We released a new song last week, more coming in the new year... https://irkband.bandcamp.com/album/toothache-in-prison https://www.instagram.com/irk_noise

    Thanks for the link, I’ve not seen those before!

    I've not posted on here in years, maybe 10? My pedalboard is looking the smartest it's been in ages after a thorough clean and rebuild, and I'm chuffed with my new Cioks power supply, so here we go. I can definitely go down a size of pedaltrain with a few flat cables and properly mounting the power supply underneath, but then again, maybe I can make use of this space... 🤔

    I'm in the process of slightly downsizing from a Pedaltrain Novo 32 with a hard case. The Mono Rail medium has caught my eye as it's the right size and I'm looking for a pedalboard with a decent case, but no longer need/want the heft of the hard case. I'm reading pretty mixed opinions on the stock Pedaltrain soft cases, but people seem to rave about the quality of Mono cases in general. Interested to hear if anyone has experience with these Rail boards? How do they compare to the Pedaltrain and is the case as good as people seem to suggest?

    CIOKS have also confirmed that's the right connector.

    That looks like it'll be just the ticket, thanks! I somehow completely missed that when scrolling through the accessories.

    There's always one awkward pedal isn't there! Before buying a new power supply, I'm trying to figure out if I can use an older 30V Rusty Box with a Cioks DC7, and if so, how I'd hook it up. Anyone have experience of this? The Rusty Box manual says... “If using an aftermarket AC Adapter, please be sure that it delivers between 24VDC and 40VDC with a minimum current rating of 100mA. The barrel connector plug coming from the AC Adapter must be center positive.” The barrel connector also isn't the standard size, it looks as though it's 5.5/2.5mm.

    Loopers?

    thumbo replied to meterman's topic in Effects

    I've used lots of loopers over the years but the Ditto X2 hasn't budged from my pedalboard since 2017.

    Cheers! We are indeed based in Leeds. We've played with Blacklisters a few times in Leeds and managed to convince Billy to join us on vocals when we played Berlin the year before last, we've played with TSPSI in London and Bristol and we've sort of played with FOTL if playing the same festivals counts (ATG and Wrong fest). To be fair we don't play loads of Leeds gigs though, probably 4 or 5 a year for the last few years.

    Some more album related videos from the launch gig back in December. It's a pretty rough and ready recording, but came out alright considering it was just one of those Zoom handheld recorders capturing the audio.

    Thanks, really appreciate that!

    Here's the final song we recorded in the album live sessions.

    Here's another track from our recent session. It's an older one that's been re-worked for the album.

    Thank you! 😁

    We've just put album pre-orders online for vinyl and other bits and bobs! https://igg.me/at/irk/x/19438525

    Thanks! The previously recorded stuff was all DI'd, with most of the tone coming from a Warwick Thumb into a Fuzzrocious Demon or Rat Tail running into a Rusty Box, then various octave pedals blended in. Lots of the bass parts are double tracked on the recordings. The newest track has more mic'd cab tones, but there's still DI'd bass all through it.

    This was fun to record as I get lots of room to play with my bass sound in this trio. There will be an album following later in the year if this is your cuppa tea!
  22. thumbo
    Damn this is a cool sounding pedal! Really helpful discussion in that thread. Thing is, I wasn't in the market for a synth pedal, but now I am... 😅
  23. thumbo
    Has anyone ordered a pedal with the octave jawn option yet? Mighty tempted to order a Cat King with this option as it'd put 2 of the effects I use most into one unit.
  24. thumbo
    Hah! It still gets me to be honest and it's been my avatar for a number of years!
  25. thumbo
    Thanks! I'm not 100% on the age of it, but suspect it's a good 5-6 years old. I'll try giving Polar a shout.
