Well, nothing back from Robot Factory :-( In the meantime, I found The Broadcast, by CoPilot pedals, and I like it! It's got the following features: - Expression pedal plugs into The Broadcast, and Broadcast plugs into the LPF - In manual mode, the EP sweeps the LPF as normal - Footswitch to LFO mode, and LFO sweeps the LPF - EP can control LFO rate, or ratio (1, 2, 3, 4 or 0.5), selectable with toggle switch - Other footswitch is tap tempo - Range knob sets upper limit of sweep - Wave knob goes from even sweep to wobble to random craziness Can't wait!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1409830535' post='2543693'] So far I've bought Mrs Zero two ocarinas, a stylophone, and (for one Valentine's Day) a didgeridoo. There's plenty of instruments out there... [/quote] You can never have too many ocaniras ;-)

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1409674987' post='2542128'] Three other words.... Ugly As f***. [/quote] :-D I don't agree, but great post anyway :-D

Wow, lovely!

Tom at Cog has politely pointed me towards Robot Factory as the most suitable place to get one. I've emailed them asking whether they can build a custom LFO where you can switch from fast to slow wobble with your foot.

Ah ok, I do the same with my preamp, in a Peli case. Do ordinary racks have cushioning?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1409743929' post='2542829'] My Th500's are protected in their foam filled aluminium cases. [/quote] I think that answers my question. I didn't realise that they had cushioning built in

Probably a silly question, but how much shock protection do racks provide? If the amp is bolted directly onto the rigid box with no cushioning, how does it protect against impacts?

They headlined Reading in 1990. I'm pretty sure that today's Health and Safety people would have a fit if they had seen what he was doing :-D

This video shows pretty much what I'm after. http://youtu.be/whvNhkC4Skg I like the way you can alter the wobble rate with footswitches

Thanks. I've also shot a message to Tom at Cog to see what he can do

I'd like to get a wobble on by controlling my Xerograph with a LFO pedal. I'm using an expression pedal to do this at the moment, but like the thought of an automatic preset wobble. Are there any simple LFO pedals out there, ideally able to be powered with a standard 9v centre negative power supply?

I've used Brian Bond (Camden) in the past and he was great - he came on recommendation from the Gallery.

Fortunate Son is a great protest song, and was on the Forrest Gump soundtrack. Also covered by U2 IIRC. Great band and great voice, although I could never 'get' why their cover of Heard it through the Grapevine is so universally admired. Also, years of playing Have You Ever Seen The Rain has spoiled any subsequent enjoyment of that one :-( It's been a while - I reckon a CCR session at work is long overdue.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1409437754' post='2539790'] I always compose my pieces like that, fishing for the 'ladies' vote. I even titled it, this month, 'The Climax'..! Hasn't worked so far, though; my track's a flop. [/quote] Haha, ironically, yours is the one I voted for as I have a very unusual frame of reference :-D

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1409437319' post='2539782'] Same as all of us: you decide. [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size] [/quote] Fair enough - In the end I went for the one whose Soundcloud track's shape most resembled a penis

[quote name='Stompbox' timestamp='1409395789' post='2539282'] I did try to leave comments on the Soundcloud page but it didn't go on - do you have to be a member/sign in to leave a comment??? [/quote] Yes you do. Bit like Youtube in that respect. Well done everybody. I have one that I like best, and one that I think represents the picture best - what to do?.....

She's playing at quite an intimate venue in Nottingham in September - it would be rude not to attend

I'm pretty certain that that is mahogany, not beech

I'm not quite sure about this artist, but one thing is for sure, she oozes talent and passion. It's quite mesmerising. Have a look at some soul with a difference: http://youtu.be/FcabnhkjYHE
