And if you enjoyed that @casapete, I can thoroughly recommend the Prom from last night (Saturday) featuring Cynthia Erivo and BBC Concert Orchestra. She has a superb voice, and the band nailed it as you'd expect. It's on iPlayer.

... but now you're an ex-tractor fan? That must come in very handy in this hot weather.

A used Yamaha BBNE2 should be possible within that budget.

Wonder if that was the inspiration for those horrible TB-10 things.

I've not come across anyone using EADG on a Tenor Banjo. I think they call DGBE 'Chicago tuning' and you can probably get string sets from Eagle music for it. GDAE is used by most Irish players. The Trad Jazz tuning is CGDA, they tend to use it for chords rather than single-line stuff.

Hope that she has got big hands. I don't think this is one of your better ideas Owen, better to just get her an octave pedal and a pickup for the Cello.

I think that if he is converting a garage into something that becomes part of his house, the work will need to meet current building regulations. Coud be wrong but worth getting this checked out.

+1 to this, I find the notch filter on my EDB-1 is an absolute godsend. I usually run it into a microthumpinator to take the low frequencies out too. I also have a Peavey feedback ferret in a rack somewhere, but havent got around to trying it on DB.

You don't need to install Schaller strap locks on the strap. Just put the strap on the button , then click the lock in place on top of it.

My mind is currently being boggled by this. Especially the bit at 2.15 when he picks up the bow, and the C7 (?) chord at 5.50.

Oops. Please make that AER, not sure what I was thinking there. Acoustic Image indeed.

Acoustic Image gear seems to be very popular amongst the 'nice' set. I have an aging Tecamp Puma which works well with upright and bass guitar, so I think something more recent from Eich would be worth a look. No issues with support here, I've had one or two problems which were swiftly resolved by Thomas Eich himself.

In this particular instance, if the OP is looking at a second-hand 410TVX, his budget is probably less than £100. Despite the theory, the 410TVX is a decent sounding cheap cab and would be a decent upgrade on a single BB115T.

Buy the 410 and ditch the single 15!

8. Venue sound engineer has had a huge argument with the promoter, locked up the control room, taken half the PA equipment and disappeared.

If this venue is run by Harrow Council, I can absolutely see why they are trying to think of every way possible to raise some more revenue, caught as they are between the rock of increasing costs for everything and the hard place of central government reductions in budgets and demands for savings. Would probably have been simpler to just put their charges up by 10% but hey.

I think I just managed to download a copy from the Internet Archive, a.k.a. Wayback Machine. https://web.archive.org/web/20171225103850/http://markbass.it/media/filer_public/3b/4a/3b4ae3af-b374-48ba-b7a0-6058c308c97f/install_markbass_pedal_controller_mac_131mpkg.zip Be warned though it's a pretty unfriendly interface.

The key to this is USB-C PD - the PD bit stands for Power Delivery, it's a fast-charging technology which requires a USB-C PD enabled device such as a recent iPhone, Pixel phone or Samsung S20. Fascinating stuff. https://www.belkin.com/uk/resource-center/power-delivery/ So can you get an effects pedal supply which supports USB-C PD, I hear you cry? Well apparently yes you can. https://www.thomann.de/gb/mission_engineering_529_m_usb_pd_converter.htm . If you can wait for it to come back into stock. Another option might be this powerbank https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank.htm which has 2 9V DC -ve outputs, 1.2A which should be good for a handful of low-current pedals. Think I might go for one of those myself. Just realised this is one of the banks listed in the original post. The Harley Benton Powerbank Plus is now discontinued so the OP's solutions using that are no longer viable.

Maybe if you had a digital octave down pedal that could happen. Not sure what other pedals might do that.

Seems unlikely - i think it's depending on the device being charged having enough smarts to know what charging voltage it requires. Plus you have the challenge of finding a USB C to 2.1mm centre neg daisy chain.

You might only need one channel, if you can daisy-chain the 2 passive monitors.

Guidance from Max at SFX Sound (who makes the Thumpinator) was to put the HPF first in the chain. I've been following that advice and it seems to work well. I'd put the compressor next, then any other effects. The only exception to this would be if I were using an envelope filter, which I'd put upstream of the compressor.
