  1. Thanks, they look perfect, but how do you scroll through patches?
  2. Thanks. I've never used amp or can sims, I'm pretty happy with the tone of my amp and cab. Anything helix is going to be outside my budget, but the zoom pedals are on my radar.
  3. Hi everyone, It seems my Boss Gt1B has died (I haven't ruled out it being fixed, it could be simple, but - GAS . . .) and I'm considering what to replace it with. When I was in a Madonna cover band I needed lots of synth-type sounds that I could (almost) replicate on the Boss multi, but it did have limitations of effects blocks. I'm now playing in a rock-ish band that doesn't need much more than a bit of valve-like grit. I would like (but don't really need right now, but who knows into the future) octave, filter, some modulation, fuzz, and delays/reverbs - basically all multi effects' lists. I feel like I could get away right now with a valve pre/DI that wouldn't have to be actually valve based. Oh, and my budget is tiny to not really existent! My one big question is how do people manage single pedals when you need different sounds out of the pedal within or between songs? I built patches for each song on the Boss and then just flicked through them at will. How do players manage a complicated pedalboard with multiple sound changes live?
  4. The guitarist/songwriter/bandleader/brother in law never had a spare. So it was really, really funny when he broke a string at a 'festival' (shoddy gig in an old.man's pub) and borrowed on from another band. We were in the indie scene and his tele had to be replaced by a headless 80s cricket bat style guitar. Hilarious.
  5. I've got reaper running and can record OK, my main problem is midi. I can import a midi file, but I can't get it to make any noise. I also can't install any more apps on laptop as its for work and I'm not an admin (reaper is running off my hard drive). I had all christmas holidays to sort it and hit the 'non admin wall and gave up. It is indeed frustrating.
  6. A USB-C to 3.5mm adapter so I can play my phone through the aux in of my multi effects. All phones should have 3.5mm outputs.
  7. I did this for a one off gig. It was a blast. Drummer and both guitarists were in a band and I'd just returned from a long stint away. We rehearsed a couple of times and played our 'best of'. It went down well and was fun, but there was no suggestion it become any more than the one off.
  8. Thanks. I've looked at it (just re-watched a few reviews), but I keep coming back to a SA C4. I've built some synth patches in my Boss GT1-B which sound useable, but not spectacular. I've also started using the -1 Octave settings and messed around with that. I just don't really know which way to go. And my budget is tiny! Hence the Behringer interest. Although a TC Nether can be found cheaper.
  9. It's also very cheap, which sounds good to me! I'm trying to decide on a route to some synth-like tones and if I go the individual pedals route, I'll need an octave pedal. I haven't seen too many bass reviews (and I don't really know what I'm looking for in terms of an octave pedal for this outcome) so it's good to hear that it works.
  10. Very interested in this. How is it?
  11. Cheap multi effects into headphones?
  12. My first 5 string. Something cheap, humbucker(s) and a maple fretboard, only because that seems to be the opposite of what I do have. Some way of scratching the synth sound itch I can't seem to shake. Either a cheap series of pedals, a SA C4 or a quality multi unit that I could build some presets with. And a one cab solution. Even though I'm only playing in my house!
  13. I keep thinking about this as a 'better' solution than my Boss GT1 - B. The only thing I don't like about the Boss is having to choose from 2 groups for a lot of the effects and that limiting what you can put together. But if this does the same thing then it's no better.
  14. That's how it should be!
  15. I get that pop every now and again on my RM800. I can never tell what is causing it. Seems random.
