  1. I'm not super sure how you make money off youtube but she has over 44,000 subscribers... https://www.youtube.com/user/hurricanenita/videos You can definitely make a living at that level!
  2. Well, its a long and slightly boring story... The response i got was from a guitar guy and a singing lady.. After a load of emails and a missed meeting we ended up in our local rehearsal space. They were nice enough... and the singing lady didn't sing all the wrong notes, just most of them. The guitaring was kind of shimmery and totally unheavy. If anything if they toned down the 'ALL the effects on at the same time' guitar and the singing lady learned some notes (her tone was quite nice, sort of Lana del-ray meets Kirstie McColl?) they could be quite enjoyable. But not what i'm looking for so i sent a polite 'thank you no' message. I'll probably not bother again...
  3. Replacement Zoomer arrived!

    I feel like it sounds better than the other one, might just be me justifying it to myself though.. :D

      Newer software?

      Or just less dusty? ;)

      It still had the V1 software on but i did the firmware update.

      The dusty thing is quite possible!

  4. I find this guy quite annoying, but i followed some of his hints about EQ and making spaces for other sounds on a recent recording and it sounded really good! I also rolled quite a lot of bass off the guitar sound - by itself it sounded sort of shrill and nasal at the same time, but with the bass and guitar together it really sat nicely!
  5. Hi! Thought i'd say hi again. Hi! Just cos i wandered off a bit - you know the drill. Brain wobbles, work, relationships, band-mate/BFF keeling over with kidney failure, sudden interest in acrylic nails, that sort of thing. Basically i lost myself for a bit. And yes, you can play bass with acrylic nails! Although they're coming off at the weekend because i miss being able to use my thumbs...
  6. Only metal is silly and overblown enough to think 'hey, lets write a song about how cool Carl Sagan is!' I think thats why i love it... (Nightwish - Sagan) Make me wonder Make me understand Spark the light of doubt and a newborn mind Bring the vast unthinkable down to earth Always wary of a captive thought Beware the very first unkind word See who you are, where from, what of Entering the unknown Sending all the poets to the stars Daring to see beyond the manmade Woe to you who evade the horizon Listening to Sagan Dreaming Carl Sagan Unseen streams With understanding no poet is trapped Woe to all who stop at the horizon What kind of world would we call home Our own Oasis of love, humility and hope Eradicating all that`s not for life What kind of aim would we call high What kind of life would bathe in the brightest white A limitless world will rise Son of man, dare to let go of the cowardice
  7. Ok yeah, so i'm replacing my B3n.. with a B3n! Oh well, at least the resale price seems about what i sold mine for so i'm not losing anything!

      Basically! Its not perfect but the things i thought 'well i never use these' like the drum machine and the looper, i suddenly found myself wanting to use...! And while i can faff about with a laptop and do that, its too much faffing about.. :D

      I have never used any effects other than those onboard my combo such as compression, overdrive and sub-harmonic.  If I owned a B3n, would I still need to carry a DI box?

      I don't use one when go into an audio interface.  Its got jack outputs, no XLR, so, i guess, probably? I've noticed any difference using it with and without a DI box though...

  8. Best, definitely 'money ' by the flying lizards. Worse: same song by the Beatles....
  9. Well what else can you do under the circumstances?
  10. SOLD and in the post tomorrow!
  11. Standard stompboxes that i've aleady got.. plus maybe a bonkers filter of some kind! I find i rarely use most of the crazy stuff on the zoom, except for the times i do use them..!
  12. Its still for sale but i'm using it while it awaits its fate... So probably quite a lot like being on death row! 🍆
  13. I've actually got a patch on my B3n that goes Octave up, Fuzz, Octave down, auto-wah, SVT, whammy. It sounds like Satan's fairground organ... ;D
  14. Plus, didn't this question come up when they invented synths? and we're still here...
  15. Bumped! Also will throw in M-audio expression pedal, which works with the Zoom very happily...
  16. Haha! I wish.. I was basically that shape in about 2000ish though.. Plus or minus the odd lump or bump here and there...
  17. Melissa Auf Der Maur, obvs.. #iwish! (profile photo is a bit out of date, i'm not blonde anymore...)
  18. Zoom B3n, does all the things a B3n does - latest firmware updated, will reset patches to factory. No box but i have a neoprene zip cover (originally for small laptops) that i'll pack it in. Very good condition, will post to UK. Pics below!
  19. Hmm weird! No i have a B3n - i think most of the effects are the same though!
  20. No.. ;D If you look, you'll probably find it.. I've also been quite specific as i fancy doing something properly gothy (Nephilim/Cure, gothy, not Manson/Evanensence metalgoth) so i've pitched it that way. If i found something more randomly i'd be for doing lots of other different types of stuff though. I have to admit i am still slightly scarred by my one previous JMB experience with Mr 'I don't like modern music' when asked 'so what about grunge?' 😨
  21. Ok, well i've taken the plunge and posted an ad on JMB... Waiting for the abuse to roll in..!
