Played a great gig at the weekend, probably our best yet. The Thunderstangbacker sounded ace, and I love my little Eich combo!

Tyler basses

Maybe standing behind an 8x10 in the future might help with stage fright

I do that at rehearsal where we don't PA the bass, and it works well. However on stage I've actually used it next to the drummer but pointing away from him and towards me, so that his monitor mix isn't muddied by my amp. Given that I'm off to the side with nobody else next to me, I think it gives the rest of the band less bass bleed and a cleaner stage sound.

We played a really great gig yesterday at Oundle music festival. Once again I used my Eich 112XS combo which tilts back so I can hear myself really well on stage and the DI sound is perfect. When I position the amp on stage, I naturally put it behind me because that’s what I’ve always done. But at sound check I tried it in front of me like a monitor, and had the FOH out keys and vocals in my actual monitor. It worked really well and I could feel the bass and hear it even batter. I moved it though for the gig because it was in the way to be honest for everyone else coming on and off stage but I wondered if anyone else does this regularly? I think next time I might do it from the start and move other things around to make room. I think having it facing away from the audience probably helps reduce the on stage sound, too - I think I could have it even louder without affecting the PA sound out front.

Handles on the side make this a pedltray

I like the Valco KGB. I found my tall font Muff got a bit lost in the mix - the Valco does exactly the same sound but allows far more control, including phase, blend, impedance and tone. Plus three voices with varying mids and gate. If you can’t get what you want out of the KGB, it’s probably not a fuzz!

Given the lack of functional difference between the two I’d go with the Halon, as he’s replied

I rather like your red IEC cable

From memory, the former. I think you press the button to power on, and hold for pairing etc.

Agree on the Bassballs vibe - it's a twin envelope follower which therefore creates a sort of phase cancellation effect depending on how you adjust the filters. But it doesn't seem to be triggering very dynamically, as suggested.

IEMs can be substantially enhanced by using a tactile feedback device such as a bassboard or backbeat. I still prefer an amplifier if I’m honest

I bet someone sent him a telegram at the time slagging him off

Always makes me wonder, when it says 'designed in collaboration with' - when it comes to a FSO, surely the input is 'this pickup, these knobs, that colour, make the pickguard extra ugly'. Hardly 'design', is it?

DO NOT ASK lol - well, list it somewhere populated by mostly twats and you have to deal with the consequences mate!
