  1. I bought some as a backup last time I was in there, I haven't tried them, but they're in a sealed foil packet like Ernie Balls so i'm sure they'll last.
  2. Sleep Token The Wonder Years The Menzingers Thrice Sincere Engineer I didn't think I'd listened to that much Sleep Token, their newest album isn't in my top songs, I think I just put the first two albums on a lot while I worked in Jan-March. I always made sure I listened to songs I was learning on YouTube instead so they stay out of my playlists!

    Great work on the board!
  4. An update to my board, a Digitech Drop was delivered today! This will cover the 4-5 songs we do in Eb, plus the one with an octave. I haven't stuck it down or tidied the cables yet... there's one plug left on my (battery powered) daisy chain. I'm thinking that probably needs to be used, right? Any suggestions for a nano pedal on the top row? Maybe a delay just so I can play Pneuma by Tool? 😁
  5. XLR only, which I guess makes sense if your DI is going to the PA and jack out is going to your amp, but it would have been nice to have the option, especially for the headphone out.
  6. My first pedalboard... It's taken me 23 years of playing, but I finally decided to make the jump. For the first 10 years I went straight into the amp, but since then I've had a Zoom B2.1, B9.1 and B3, the Headrush Gigboard plus a Boss ME-50B which I didn't really like. Most of which was used for a couple of core tones, plus the odd effect when needed, so a pedal board makes more sense. I was going to try the Laney Digbeth as my preamp until the Joyo Monomyth was available for half the price. That's at the end of the chain so I can use the DI, and has a Joyo Scylla and Korg Pitch-black before it. Powered by an Anker power bank and Li'l moXie 9v converter, which works very well and makes this board very portable - no more searching for sockets at the front of the stage! Ive used a Pedaltrain Metro 16. I was going to go for a Nano+, but they're similarly priced and this gives me an extra row if it's ever needed. I've left room for an octave pedal, and I might add a mini chorus to the top row. I'm very happy with it so far, and it's got it's first gig on Saturday!
  7. Ed sold me his Korg Pitchblack, arrived quickly and well packaged, thanks very much!
  8. The Monomyth and Scylla arrived quickly and I've had a good play with them. Very happy with the Scylla - when I've played with software compressors before I've struggled to tell what effect parameter changes are making, with this I can hear the difference. Maybe I should have tried compressor pedal earlier! The Monomyth is great, lots of EQ control and a nice usable driven sound to cut through the mix. Turn everything up and it's exactly what I hear in all those Darkglass demos! The only problem I have is noise from my daisy chained power supply. I've tried a Lil Moxie 5v to 9v converter today though my laptop and it's completely gone, so a new power bank is on order to go under my board (also on order!). So yes, I've surrendered to the habit 😆

    A mini chorus for £35 is tempting, I only really need one for one song
  10. I'll take this please - I'll send you a message
  11. I've toyed with selling this a few times but after buying a preamp pedal it's time to move it on. It sounds great, better than any other multi effects I've used, and has a really easy interface with the touch screen. I'm just not using 95% of it's capabilities so I'm going to build a small board instead. Comes boxed with power supply. Great condition, it still has the screen protector film on.
  12. I saw the Monomyth is on Amazon now, and it offered me 15% off, so I've got one arriving on Saturday. Then I noticed the Scylla compressor was also offering a 15% discount so I threw that in the basket too. Two decent looking pedals for £104.78, can't to wrong with that. Except these are the first two pedals going on my first board and it could be a slippery slope 🤣
  13. I haven't watched this yet but but looks interesting
  14. I'm near M5 jct 6 and I'm heading to York on Saturday 27th if that's any help if anyones coming up to the Midlands?
