Beautiful. Restrained, rhythmic bass line, perfectly complimenting a busy drum part.

Exactly. It's all fantasy and my fantasy gig is in Deutschland.

Harley Benton. Doesn't matter which one they all come out of the box in tune and set up.

Outdoor Bandeoke in a tiny village near Devizes. Well attended, well mannered punters, played a couple of tunes new to me which is always fun/hair raising (delete as applicable). Only real drawback was the mud shod members of the great unwashed tramping over my cables. Absolutely beshitted by the end of the night.

I did. In fact it was what pushed me over the edge, I ordered straight after watching.

Lizard Queen needs no introduction from me, any musician with internet access knows Josh Scott and his work. Great that EHX made one for the price of a cup of coffee - the JHS big box version was out of my range and sold out pretty darn quick. It's a great variable fuzz with a nice non warbly octave, which is actually quite subtle. Oh, and it's loud! It has a lovely glitchy old school sound when you dig in, is nicely responsive to both instrument volume and playing dynamics. I like it a lot. The Octo Nojs will take me longer to learn, but first impression suggests lots of sounds on tap. A fat, consistent low octave with a clean blend on one side of the pedal and a synthy modern fuzz on the other. Lots of tone shaping available and lots of fun ahead for me.

Bought from @Shepster8316 this week. I've been learning compression for a while now. It's been an uphill trudge but I'm getting somewhere at last. I quite like the Compressore from Markbass, also I have a few which seem to do very little to change any part of my sound, and some which are so extreme they hoover up a bunch of unwanted noise at anything beyond minimal settings. Having only played with the Clearcomp for a short time since the postie knocked this morning I can already tell a few positives. It's silent. It has a hugely flexible but very clearly labelled set of controls. It's beautifully made. It has a dry blend. I managed to dial in a pretty usable sound reasonably quickly, which augers well for the future. Oh and it has a multi coloured flashy light too!

Just bought a pedal from @Shepster8316 and the deal could not have been sweeter. Perfectly clear and prompt communication throughout, extremely well priced, fast delivery and excellent packaging. There is no way you could improve on this transaction.

Luckily guitar players are 10 a penny so you ought to find hundreds. It's finding the ones who want to work like you want to work. The best guitarist I've played with is like me, he'd rather chew through his own leg than waste time and money in band rehearsals. Imagine being expected to go to work , in your time, and paying to be there, because your coworkers needed you there so they can practice working. 🤦

Great thanks. Sounds wonderful

I know nothing about this pedal. Tell me more

Still waiting...

It's awful you would hate it

It's an interesting pedal. It kind of sounds like its name. It doesn't fit with much of what I play live but it's fun to add it here and there. I guess I use it something like a bubbly rhythmic auto wah. Ish.

Just ordered mine. Nate Navarro's video is a bit of all right.

Not heard of him. I have now though! Thank you.

The latest iteration of my basic bi-amp board. Some pedals seem to have found a 'permanent' home, others keep changing still but I'm definitely getting closer. The Ampero has three switchable effects and a tuner on the extension switch and is doing a lot of preamp, signal splitting, compression, noise gate type stuff in the background.

Actually that is what I've been doing. Odd.

That's the problem - ta!

I had a dalliance with the MM pick up but in the end as I didn't know many of the songs we played I just stuck it on the P pup and left it - lots of sight reading and concentration!

I will pay for the information!
