I do a thing with my whammy on octave up, quite a bit of distortion and EQ etc, all inside a feedback loop, going into a delay pedal. If I play very lightly, there's almost no attack to the sound which then swells out with increasingly high notes. Depending on what you're playing it does a very good church organ.

I would love to get the RME but I doubt i'll be in that sort of market for the next 10 years. Maybe by then there'll be some real 2nd hand bargains!

Heh, we're not all as fussy as 5imon I don't mind a tiny bit of latency, every audio interface i've tried has been fine for me. As long as you're not trying to use on-board sound or one of those cheap USB-Jack Cable things you should be OK. I used to have a dodgy copy of the ampeg SVX which was quite cool, but honestly I never liked the bass sounds as much as those you can get by adding your own EQ, compression, dirt etc. So maybe just invest in an interface and start playing about with free VST plug-ins.

I don't really have a clue when it comes to amp modelling or effects from the PC, but it does seem to me the B9.1Ut could be fixed easily, which would be my preference.

you should be cutting not boosting!! I have the 18V EMG system in my schecter and I never clipped my B2.1U but maybe that has a different input section

a choice of duration would be good, so you could set 10 seconds, or 2 minutes or infinite etc.

Just downloaded and it works really well! Could we have an audio click/bleep as well which can be muted? I'll try and do a quick icon but design is not my forte! EDIT: Here you go, it's crap, probably no better than nothing to be honest [url="http://creepjoint.co.uk/livebpm.jpg"]http://creepjoint.co.uk/livebpm.jpg[/url]

[url="http://www.ollapp.com/app/clockwork-metronome-click-track/android"]http://www.ollapp.co...k-track/android[/url] [/quote] Not available yet? that "Metronome: Tempo" app looks like it'll do the job. it's 65p though and i've not yet added a payment method to my phone so can't try it at the moment.

I have metronome apps and one of them allows tap tempo. All you need to add is a "save as..." button. the program would then save the tempo, you type in a name, it stores it as name.tempo and then you can open these files from within the metronome app. I've done some programming in the past but I have no idea how to do android apps

Good idea. If you could have an audio click for the drummer to play along to as well, this would be the perfect app for me.

yep, sorted. If you like the sound then long term you might be better off with just a power amp, rather than the shuttle

why do you want your rack in the loop? Does it have a blend control? If so, I don't think it's possible. If you just want them in the loop for some other practical reason, then plug your ampeg pre into the rack, and then rack into the FX return as usual

ahhh well. I actually love an expression pedal on multi-effects. Being able to control the rate of a phaser for example, is something you can't do with regular "stomp boxes".

If you can get on one of the dance nights at The Old Brown Jug it'd suit you but it's probably too small a venue. Fat Cats in Hanley would be good but again you'd struggle to get people there. I'll have to make the effort and get to a gig in Nottingham.

if you assigned the expression pedal input to input gain (and you didn't need it for something else) you could have a pot wired to that jack, or even just a resistor to fix it at a certain value.

Sorry, no, I couldn't face it after visiting at hospital. I regret it this morning but hey ho that's what I get for being a moody w***er! It's really difficult to get people in there on a week night. Sometimes even at the weekend. Stoke is very much stuck in a rut of hair metal and indie bands, which is why I was so looking forward to seeing you.

I'll be the one staring at your pedalboard with a cushion in my lap

I can't get anyone to come with me but will be attending on my lonesome, all things being well.

Could you not just put that pot inside the B3 then? Maybe if they release the software update for it that will contain an input gain control.

would you not just turn down the output on your bass? I'm not sure of your signal chain but it would be the obvious solution

did you manage to stop it clipping Dood?

weird, I kind of do the opposite. I listen to the song as normal, but play the bass an octave higher until I've worked out the bassline.

Just bought a pedal from Paul, it arrived within a day or two of payment - couldn't have been quicker. It was well packed etc. An all round thouroughly pleasant experience. experience.

well, deffinitely trust your ears on this It will alter the gain level going into your effects chain, so your comp will deffinitely behave differently unless you change the input gain or threshold setting. You should also notice the effect of the different gain level on the other pedals too - overdrive will have more "drive" with more gain, envelope follower will have more or less "range" and/or "sensitivity" I'm being a bit vague as I don't know whether the input gain will have gone up or down, but either way, if you're happy with the sound, stick, with it!

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1351611792' post='1853250'] What about the heavy bass fuzz on the Beatles' 'Think For Yourself' in 1965? [/quote] just checked out his diary, I didn't realise most of his stuff was from the 70s onwards. I should have known I didn't have the knowledge for a topic like this! I just thought it was the one area where the comparison works.
