    [quote name='woodster' timestamp='1359118033' post='1950114'] Another BIG +1 for the Diago Powerstation.... Great bit of kit and the compatability chart on their website is really useful!! [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/powerstation_compatibility.html"]http://www.diago.co....patibility.html[/url] [/quote] I've never noticed that before! That is extremely handy! Cheers, Paul

    Not sure what the reserve on this is but someone could end up gettting a real bargain. A guy is selling his whole pedal board complete with all of his pedals.

    The one I use is called a Diago Micropower. It's 9v and (I think) 1000mA so it would power your pedals no problem. It just has one plug and you use a daisy chain connector to the others. These particular ones are generally about £40 for both the power unit and daisy chain adaptor. I'm sure you could find cheaper options as well but I've found this one to be the best value. Paul

    [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1358859320' post='1946074'] Broke Dick Peanut Gallery. Best Overdrive I've ever used... And I've owned one or two! [/quote] Ah ok cool. I'm actually on the lookout for a good overdrive. Not sure I have the patience to wait for a Fuzzrocious though. Any other stand-outs for you? Cheers, Paul
  6. paulpirie8
    What is the other Fuzzrocious pedal you have? (Dark blue, finger paint)

    I would recommend Pistola by Incubus as one to learn. Might not be your thing but I find it very fun to play, the middle section in particular. Paul

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1357677796' post='1926682'] I'm really pissed off about it. The moulded sleeves on the minijack keep splitting and f***ing them up. They aren't cheap either. [/quote] I've had the same problem with every pair of earphones I've ever owned. Sennheisers have been the best so far but even still, I normally only get about 6-12 months use out of them. I suppose i'm not very careful with them, I usually have my iPod in my pocket so this must put a fair amount of strain on the jack. When you're paying £30+ on them though you would expect them to be a bit more durable. If you find a reasonably priced alternative, please do share. Paul

    Told myself about a year ago that I'd start trying out loads of different strings to find the perfect set. First set I tried out was a set of Rotosound flats and haven't bought anything else since. They feel and sound lurvley. I probably should try some others though. Paul

    [quote name='bremen' timestamp='1357564507' post='1924475'] I think Paul was wondering whether folk are less bothered about sound quality nowadays. [/quote] Yeah this was more my point. Wasn't trying to get into a Digital Vs. Analogue debate as such because I use MP3s as much as the next man when I'm out and about. And they're good for what they are. It's no doubt down to nostalgia more than anything else but it just seems to me that people had an appreciation and respect for sound quality that is becoming rare nowadays. Paul

    [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1357559422' post='1924346'] Whats the point of a nice stereo when you shove digital audio through it anyway? cd's also sound awful to my ears. Stone cold! [/quote] True. I suppose I should have mentioned formats as well. I was going with the assumption that a proper Hi-Fi would be used with either CDs or vinyl. Don't agree about CDs sounding terrible although vinyl (which I'm assuming is your medium of choice) definitely sounds better. Paul

    This came up in discussion the other day when one of my friends argued that my Hi-Fi took up too much space in my room. He claimed that all you need is a "Micro Hi-Fi" which you can pick up for pennies. I can remember even when I was a kid that every house would have (or seemed to have, IME) a big, proper Hi-Fi with seperates for CD, cassette and vinyl as well as a decent amp and speakers. Now though people seem to just have an All-in-one stereo with tiny speakers that sound pretty terrible. I could probably count the people I know with a proper Hi-Fi on both my hands. I'm no audiophile but I love having one place I can listen to music as it should sound; good. So I suppose my question is: Has the quality of sound become less important when buying a new stereo than size/cost etc? Cheers, Paul

    This should be interesting...

    Well this should be interesting.

    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1355225383' post='1895493'] Are these the same size as the standard Jazz 3's? If they are I might buy a few packs! (Read: About 10...) [/quote] Yeah, they're just the same size. Best picks I've used anyway! Cheers, Paul

    +1 for the Dunlop Jazz III picks. Used to use the tortex ones as well myself (purple ones, not sure of the thickness) and they were good but once I tried the Max Grip Jazz IIIs, I never looked back. It feels like you have so much more control and I haven't had one slip out of my hand yet.

    Matt bought my Ibanez PD7 completely hassle-free! Would definitely recommend! Paul
  19. paulpirie8
    Both pedals sold! Cheers!

    Ibanez PD7 on hold pending payment!
  21. paulpirie8
    Anywhere we can listen to some of your music? Cheers, Paul
  22. paulpirie8
    Yeah, it's definitely putting people off which is unfortunate. Hopefully though, someone who knows what they are doing will see it and get a bargain. Failing that, I'll have someone look at it and see if it's gonna be worth my while getting it fixed. Cheers, Paul

    Price drop to £150!!!
