Aye, it's a fantastic piece of kit. The sounds are first class and something Zoom never gets enough credit for is how simple and intuitive their multi effects are to adjust on the unit itself. 

Absolutely vital for live work.

Where did you get it?

eBay 

Is this collection only? Or is postage included?

The DFX pedals performing well then?

Outstanding.

My regular working board for my main gigging band.

Other more lighthearted projects get the more fun pedals 

Anyone have one of these? My singer wants to try one. Looking to set up a loan?

What an absolute steal.

Do not be fooled by the label addicted nay sayers. These are brilliant amps.

Hi guys. Lots of stuff to consider. Appreciate everyone's input. 

I suspect that the second hand router I've been using has suffered a bit from being used outside of its comfort zone for so long. It's designed to sit on a shelf after all 

I'm looking at a travel router as it's more compact and more robust 

I have been wondering if the router might be on the way out, but hard wiring or using the internal router in a pinch is definitely the way to go.

Thank you all. 

Any recommendations for an affordable router to replace the old one?

It looks like the Amazon link in the video is out of stock? But gives an idea to search for, if it’s of any use?

 

Thank you!

I did similar on a bunch of pedalboards for a project I was involved with.

 

You could replace the grub screw with equivalent threaded wing bolts for manual tightening and make it even easier!

Good idea!

Hi. I'm having the weirdest issues with my X Air.

I use an external router (always have) and I have the official app, and the Mixing Station app installed on android phones, on android tablets and on a laptop.

I never know which of these devices (if any) will actually find and connect to the desk.

Last week an ancient Hudl I keep as back up connected first time, this week it just stuck on 'searching' but the laptop connected so it was ok. None of the other phones or tablets found the desk this week. 

No rhyme or reason, I never know which device will work, if any. 

Any ideas?

I'm happy with all my rigs 🙂

I want the mantle!

How long does it take to set up compared to a normal mic stand?

Slot it in and tighten two grub screws. I keep the Allen key attached to the side of the board.

It's about the same as setting up a mic stand - quicker than some. 

I find it easier to put the board on a table (or on a cab) to get at the bracket without lying in the floor!

Road tested last night. Only drawback I could find? Accessing the underside of the board to fix a wiring problem.

Impressive - how is it bolted on and could it take the weight of an ipad (or for that matter, a drunk pub goer falling over it!)

I used this 

and it's very happy with a 10" tablet. The main advantage is no legs sticking out forcing my pedal board away and requiring a long boom which is more vulnerable to audience interference.

Fortunately I never seem to play in front of a crowd sufficiently enthusiastic to knock anything over.

The angle is perfect - 90° off the top of the pedal board and the rake of the board sends it a good foot out from the pedals 

My latest bit of Heath Robinsoning....

Had a little run of gigs this week and took the B6 for them all. The plan being to use it in the hotel room for a bit of headphone noodling. 

Of course I was way too busy with traditional rock star activities to do that, but on stage it performed admirably. 

The sounds really are first class. I use it in pedal board mode and I'm finding out more about adjusting effects on the fly, switching between boards and so on. 

It's wonderfully light to carry, way smaller than my traditional boards but not so cramped I can't hit the right switch at the right time, and that tuner! It's so stable, so big, so visible - a joy to use.

That's the thing with the filers, it's about finding the one that gives you the sound you hear, I don't ever want to sell any of mine (we'll see) bit one gets used more than all the others out together

 

There are two envelope pedals on sale in the classifieds (from the same seller), neither of which I had heard of but have GAS for now! 

Sounds like we have a very similar relationship with these effects

Right then, this appears to be the correct thread this time...

 

After having listened to the options listed so far on youtube via some headphones, the EBS is the front runner so far. Will need to speak to the wife as she is the one with paypal.

Thanks for all contributions so far 👍

I have bought so many over the years and the EBS is the best. In a live mix it does the sound I hear in my head when I think envelope filter 

First time out with a new band. Fair to say we were under rehearsed having suffered line up changes in the run up to the gig, but we got away with it.

The wheels fell off a couple of times but we muddled through, the punters loved it and we got paid. 

We played a surreal event at a golf club last night. German pop 'music', picnic benches indoors, bangers and mash, some people in fancy dress, oh, and us in a big empty room while the punters sat in an adjacent room watching rugby.
