I started out life with a DOD FX25 - the same one in the Flea video in the 90s. Currently I'm loving a Lovetone Meatball Clone which does everything I could ever want from an envelope filter. In the middle of all that have been a couple of Q-trons, a Q-tron plus, a mini (and probably Micro) Q-tron too, and my main squeeze for a good long while was the a clone of the Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk which is my second favourite.

Bought a multiFX unit from Fryer - really easy sale and quick dispatch. Top guy.

Saw this advertised elsewhere today; very much looking forward to it.

The Queen Is Dead by the smiths. Superb in every conceivable way.

Excellent tune!

Beaten to the punch by Martin B. Good work sir.

Gove Rears Its Ugly Head - Living Colour

I tried to run this a while back in Pro Tools and it just crashed any PT session I opened it in. Took the AAX plugin out of the plugins folder and hey presto - Pro Tools works again. That was the catch for me. YMMV, and I think it was OK in Cubase though. The Plugin Alliance SVT stuff works and (IMHO) sounds better.

Also Faith No More - Jazzlobber. That one's actually an improvement.

Revisiting Macy Gray’s superb ‘on how life is’ album. Every track is killer! Also, it helps to drown out the navvies execrations - they’re digging up the road again.

That one could have gone either way - pink torpedo or pink torpedo.

quick tip for soldering to the pot cases - they have a coating on them which makes it more difficult than it needs to be - a bit of abrasion with a brillo pad or something similar will remove this and the soldering is MUCH easier.

It’s embarrassing. I’ve not sat through their set no matter how many times I try.

The day that Queen covered themselves in glory, and Led Zeppelin covered themselves in something else. we still use the mantra ‘Queen at Live Aid’ in one of the bands I dep for - meaning no messing around during soundcheck. 5 minutes at the absolute maximum.

Values are usually printed on the front of the brown wafer, but they're only visible when you remove them from the bass. They could be labelled as 100KA (100kΩ, Logarithmic sweep), but occasionally you'll get one that doesn't, at that point you'll have to desolder it from the wiring (after first labelling or some other means of identifying how to put it back - ask me how I found this out!) and measuring it. It's not generally a good idea to measure the value of components whilst they're soldered on place, as they can often be wired with other passive components (fixed resistors, diodes and capacitors) that can skew the reading.

I suppose you could just sit in it and wobble about a bit until the tide comes in, but really, who has time for that? And I've just read the rest of the thread. As you were.
