I like the Captain East one. I don't seem to have an edit option for it though because it isn't one of the TC templates. All I have in the app is a video icon and the star. Tried the Trapdoor, did not sound as good to my ears - way too aggressive. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Hi, I have a TC Electronic Spectracomp. I have just recently started to experiment with a fretless bass and I'm struggling to find a decent toneprint that works in that context. Does anybody have any experience with the Spectracomp in this situation? Failing that, does anybody just have any good generic compressor settings that would be good for fretless? I want the sustain to be pretty much infinite (jk, but you get the idea). Thanks.

Had a great session on Thursday night. Started writing 3 new songs about 6/7 weeks ago for a split 7 inch with our label mates. Recording them this coming Thursday so I’m well chuffed.

Had a great night with Crackhead Control. Blasted out some of our older stuff for an hour then worked on two new tracks for a split ep release coming out soon. A real cobweb-chaser of a night 😁

Here's my post-Christmas board. The Monomyth courtesy of my wife replaces an EHX Battalion that died on me and the Polytone Noir replaces a cheap Kliq tuner that started introducing distortion for some reason. Spectracomp I've had for a long time. Sounds absolutely killer. 

Discharge last night in Belfast, supported by Mortal Backlash. Outstanding gig.

The mighty Discharge on Saturday night! Can’t wait 😎

With all the discussion and arguments over the ethics of cloned pedals, I stumbled on this video. It's a very interesting take from the JHS mogul and I would be interested to hear your views.

Boots on the Table. DIY punk from Belfast and Canada.

Not me but a band I was in. Guitar player was more into rock, we were straight up punk. He was good, could play the songs well and wrote great parts. But his heart wasn’t in it and it was really flipping annoying because he would get on stage, play and run. Don’t think audiences noticed which was cool but, as a band mate, I hated it.  Long story short, play the music you love and put your heart and soul into it. The only possible exception to this is a well paying gig like a function band, but that’s my idea of hell anyway lol.

Thanks for the advice guys, I’ll maybe put this on the back burner for now.

It isn't something I would need to use much so I'm thinking more of the used market and I'd be looking for a cheap 15 to complement the 210. As I said, it's really the power handling I'm interested as I don't want to put an 8 ohm cab on if it can't handle the power from the amp.

As the title, I know I need 8 ohms but what wattage? The amp is rated as 300 watts so I’m thinking minimum 150 for the extension? I’m probably way off and there’s probably a simple calculation but I don’t know it and Ashdown doesn’t specify. TIA.  Pic for attention!

Was listening to Bauhaus there. They had some fantastic tunes.

This is me with my GSR200. She’s nothing special but she’s light and she punches way above her weight.

I haven't had it live yet so that's something to look forward to! That said, we record live in the room so it was more or less band conditions and I had no trouble being heard (we tend to play loud lol).

I recently replaced my old gear with one of these wee amps. Used it for a recording session yesterday and WOW! Absolutely blown away by the sound of this.

I wasn’t aware you could do that but I think I’d rather have the option to bypass. 

Thanks. I'll see if anybody I know has more experience at this than me, I'm scared of wrecking the thing. 

This is the switch here. I'm based in Bangor, Northern Ireland.

Hi. My Battalion has developed a faulty switch that needs replaced. Is this an easy job for a person with limited soldering skills? The pedal works fine in bypass but when the switch is pressed, nothing. Thanks in advance for any help. I've used switch cleaner and a air duster to try and knock out any dust but I've had no success.

I hadn’t actually set a budget but I don’t want to spend a fortune. Turning the 410 into two 210s is something that crossed my mind but I really wouldn’t know where to start. I’ll keep looking on the usual sites for a bargain. Thanks again for all the advice.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I have been looking at the used market but here in Northern Ireland there isn’t a great deal about. Loads of 410, very few 210. Probably safer to stick with the higher power rated cabs, I will keep looking!
