[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1408294686' post='2528729'] Hi, (just joined) Only found out about the festival on Friday from something you posted on BC - lost the post (search won't find it). Anyhow spotted this post and found you! Awesome playing on that 5 - Thanks, enjoyed it. Was a poor show when you were taken off, lots of booing at the compare. Bit daft really only one song away. Got there about 8.30 so saw the reunion also , sounded pretty good too. Two excellent sets. Thanks! [/quote] Many thanks. Really enjoyed myself. Nice to Play on a big stage. You should have come and said hi. I have yet to actually meet another bcer

Played a local music festival in two different bands (one was a band who broke up four years ago but got back together for ones last show). We'd only had a few practices and I forgot a good portion of the set but I had so much fun. My main band we headlining the one stage and they cut us a song short so the other band could play who they then cut off a song short. The crowd went f***ing ape as they'd waiting around in the cold for hours to see us! Don't think we'll be doing it again next year

The tweaking doesn't really bother me too much. I spent the past year using the Zoom b9.1ut and that was tweak heaven (or hell)

I have a friend who is moving to America and is selling both pedals for cheaps so he's coming over next week but in the mean time I thought I would ask for some of your experiences. From the video clips I've seen the Swollen Pickle sounds just brutal but I shall have to spend some time with both

So the never ending (story) quest for fuzz has stuck me again! I have the chance to buy either a Swollen Pickle or a Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi (for a rather good price) I currently use the Digitech XBD which sounds alright but I know I can do better. I play in a Hard Rock band (music links below) so I'm looking for quite an aggressive fuzz but without loosing too much low end. http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_20479208

I used the Zoom b9.1ut for about 18 months until I moved onto single pedals. Great pedal once you get around the settings. (my Zoom is currently on sale on eBay)

Played at the Iron Road Rock Bar in Evesham as part of a battle of the bands. The stage was so damn hot I ended up jumping off the stage to stand under a ceiling fan! Sadly we didn't get thru to the next stage but we played a killer set (considering our lead guitarist was using a guitar he hasn't used before thru an amp he'd never used before..thanks to some theiving C**TS). The owner of the bar really enjoyed our set and wants us to come back as soon as our gear situation is all sorted.

Bump... Thanks again guys

Yeah we've done the fb thing. Even went into Brum to check the shops there. Any help sharing the better. Really does mean a lot

My bands guitarist had his flat broke into on Friday while he was on holiday. They took everything (including their food). Here's a list of the music stuff that was nicked. Please post around/keep an eye out. 1x PRS 25th Anniversary SE electric guitar (in red) 1x PRS Tremonti SE electric guitar (in charcoal black) 1x Ibanez SX320 electric guitar (in red) 1x Blackstar HT-Stage 100 guitar head 1x Tremonti wah pedal 1x TC Electronic Polytune II Thanks Mike

My new set up. I have the fuzz and chorus going into the Zoom and then the Wah and the Nux going via the FXloop on the Ashdown. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YLH7vsq.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mAuj7l9.jpg[/IMG]

My beautiful Schecter Diamond series Custom 5 Stiletto

My current bans don't do any real covers (unless you count a short metal version of Larger than Life by the Backstreet Boys) but in a previous band we would just send links to YouTube

Played our home town last night with three other local bands. Was a pretty decent turn out. I had the choice of cabs to use (either an 8x10 Ashdown or a full Trace Elliot stack). I went with the trace as I've used it before and my god it sounds great with my current set up. I did have one slight cock up. During a break between songs I was adjusting the eq on my Zoom B9.1ut and without realising turned the whole eq off. Started the next song and I sounded dreadful. Luckily I managed to turn it back on before the end of the song.

I spoke to soon. Not working in any position on the board now so I'm running it thru the fx loop on my Ashdown. Works fine and if anything sounds better this way No idea why it's playing up but meh it works this way

I use an old Ashdown EB 180 head and I love it. Nice clean tone and more than loud enough. If it broke/was stolen I would definitely buy another (if I could find one) Great list of artists using Ashdown. Would love to be added to that list one day

Ok so this is us last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzAZQOSgI2o and this is the 1st gig (phone cam so it's not the best quality) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv2BcL0Ajok

Was pretty bored and decided to watch some old footage of the band. I found a video taken during our 1st ever gig and WOW!!...Just terrible! Did not like the tone I had, playing was crap, songs were slow....just terrible. But then I watched a live show taken last year and everything is so much better. Videos can be provided if people really want to see how bad we were lol

I went out and bought a load of new patch cables and a dc power supply and now I have the nux after my wah / fuzz / chorus and it's all working fine. And sounding really nice. Highly recommended pedal
