    A much better live album than 'Celebration Day'.

    Not in this house!

    'No Quarter' for me - favourite Zep tune by a country mile.

    Best sansamp ever - I haven’t found a sound source that can’t be improved by one of these magic boxes!

    I’ve tried this, but find that when I play live (remember doing that?) I get excited and really dig in, so end up adjusting stuff on the fly! It’s a great way to break the back of it though.

    Yeah, then they left the vocal track in. Big mistake.

    The Rick-O-Sound uses a switching jack as secondary output, so that when a second jack is plugged in the pickups are split neck - output 1 and bridge - output 2, if there's no jack in the second output then the main mono output just gets both pups in parallel, similar to a standard Jazz bass wiring. That's the only thing about Ricks that I like.

    And sold in 24 minutes.

    Recently bought this as faulty, but jI W fully with eking after making a replacement daughterboard for the footswitch. comes with all the usual ‘case candy’ - cotton bag, instructions and original box. Based on the Mutron (optical envelope detector), so a lovely vintage filter that will do up and down sweeps.

    A couple of Maytags and a rotisserie.

    yeah - already been playing with my Faux-C2 octave. NICE!

    I’m the man - Anthrax

    Not tried this before, so I thought I’d give it a spin... ...holy f@?£, that’s a lot of fun!! It’s like a second channel for my 00Funk!!

    My thoughts exactly - had one and it was incredibly versatile, but just didn’t scratch my chorus itch. I’m using an EHX Small Clone and I love it. Granted, it’s nowhere near as flexible, but it just sounds right to my ears.

    Do it! Do it NOW!

    Your TIP147 power transistors will only run to 150 degrees C anyway.
  17. paul_5
    That looks like it’ll be fine; operating temperature up to 240 degrees C - the solder on the boards would melt at just over 200!

    Zoom models

    paul_5 posted a topic in Effects

    Hi. I'm considering a zoom unit for my pedalboard. It needs to be small, and do phaser, synths, and (ideally) a sequence/arpeggiator with a tap tempo function. Is the Zoom B1-Four any good for this, or should I look elsewhere. I've had an MS60B in the past, and the build quality and footprint are ideal, but just curious how far things have moved on since I last played one.

    Just had a blast through mine and love it! One of my favourite filth boxes!

    I've just been having a play with this website: http://www.ysw-tct.com/kisekae/kiss_jb/Kiss104.aspx?p1=JB01 I still like Pearloid!
  21. paul_5
    OOF!!
  22. paul_5
    I really like a pearloid white guard against 3TS
  23. paul_5
    Arctic or Olympic...?

    Yup, you’ll be fine. Big standard strings will work on an acoustic, as the pickup is a piezo, and picks up physical vibration, instead of using ferrous metal strings to generate power (hence acoustics always have a preamp), so you’ve got more choice with regards to string material (phosphor bronze etc) with an acoustic. I had a short scale acoustic a few years ago and loved the sound of it with flats. I’d stay clear of high tensions strings though, as I was never keen on the idea of wrenching the truss rod up on an acoustic, other BCers with more experience may Pooh Pooh thus though.

    Yeppers. I love 3 pieces for this exact reason.
