Somebody I know is likely to need a 4 piece band to cover a function gig in the Aberdeen area on Saturday September 10th. Decent money on offer for this one. Are any of you guys in Scotland able to help out here? Cheers.

Stay away from Alaska Studios. As has already been said, the place stinks (I thought it was damp when I was there) and their gear is old & knackered. They are ridiculously expensive too.

Cmon then Andy, give us a review of it then

Octave alert!! Three new octave pedals about to be released from COG. The T-70 looks tasty..... http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-47-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-65-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-70-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b

I've found the space to add my Ginger to my small board, which has now become my main board, I love it. 4 Diago risers on the back have helped me squeeze 9 pedals onto this Metro 20. Happy days.

I sold a scratch plate to Jono. Nice guy with great comms.

When there isn't a DJ I use Spotify. It doesn't beat match or anything fancy like that, but there's an option to reduce the time gap between songs which means if it's set right as one song ends the next one starts pretty much straight away. Some songs with long fade outs don't work so well with this but I've ended up cutting those from my playlists.

I have two digital pedals on my board. A G30 which is first, and a Source Audio Gemini in last place. Absolutely no noise issues powering them with my 1 Spot.

My small board has 9 pedals crammed on it. I power that lot with a regular 1 Spot and I don't have any noise issues.

All sorted now. Thanks for the PMs.

For octave, my COG T-16 is stunning. My old DOD FX-35 Octoplus can sound very close to an OC-2, with the added benefit of a tone control to sweep between synthy and warm sounds.

No worries, thanks anyhow Tim.

I need to find a quality dep for a function gig in the High Wycombe area on August 27th. Material is the usual function stuff, but this band does put their own funky twist on some of the grooves. I can supply links to their videos so you can see what they're about, and I hope you'd be happy to do a bit of preparation for this gig. The pay is £150. Shout me if you're interested. Thanks.

Laptop needed?

For recording or FOH it'll always have a place. But my basses never sounded better once I turned my compressor off. I'm not saying you shouldn't use it, but use your ears and make your own mind up.

As already said, set up a patch with your 3 effects, and treat the B3 like 3 separate pedals. That's how I mainly use mine. If you then need some different effects for another tune just use another patch.

I knew somebody who had his own plates, they were his initials. I won't reveal the real letters but I'll use these as an example - ABC1. He then generously put personal plates on his wife's car. ABC2. Yes, he was a c**t. A big one, and in all respects.

I just bought a pedal from Harry. As ever, an easy sale. Thanks Harry.

[quote name='madame clapotis' timestamp='1469007354' post='3094978'] Out of curiosity, what is powering your board? [/quote] I'm using a Visual Sound 1Spot on this board. It's a 1700mA supply. And yes, the pedals are daisy chained.

I just bought a Pedaltrain Metro 20 to house a few spare pedals but I got distracted and started messing about with some of my favourites, I ended up with this and I'm really happy with it. I'll be taking this board out for Saturday's gig. The phaser pedal is programmed for flange & chorus. Line6 G30 > Polytune Mini > Catalinbread boost > COG Knightfall 66 > COG Grand Tarkin > 3 Leaf GR2 > COG T-16 octave > Source Audio Lunar phaser.

The app and the PC editor do exactly the same thing. You can change patches using the app, but you won't be doing seamless patch changes whilst still playing, it'd be inbetween songs - you need to tap 3 on-screen buttons to choose a new patch and send it to the pedal. Of course, you can save your 3 favourites to presets and recall them by flicking the toggle switch.

Same happened to me. I replied to this ad when it first appeared, got one response promising more info, then nothing since. Mildly annoying isn't it.
