I don't think my Hi-Q is high enough..

If i'm using all 'normal' pedals then the ZGP goes between the wall power supply and the daisy chain. If i'm using it for pedals and Zoom B3n then it goes on the daisy chain plug that goes to the Zoom. It usually takes a bit of jiggling plugs around to find which bit of the chain doesn't interfere with other bits..!

Heehee! Oops! Its amazing what triggers of an argument.. . I suppose i'm thinking of it as a software thing, where instructions run in the order you put them - you're right, i shall twiddle knobs and see what comes out the other end... ;D

Silly question probably, but what order do Eqs eq stuff in? Because... I have a guitar eq pedal that i like to use to cut 400 hz and boost 1khz. I also have a zoom b3n that has a bass equaliser it, which doesn't have a 400hz 'slider'. So if i was to set say 2 parametric Eqs as 'pedals' one after the other, boosting the 1khz and cutting the 400 hz, is that the same? Or is my whole signal going to be 1khz-ed and then 400hz-ed? I know i could just use the EQ pedal in front of the zoom, but the point of it (for me) is to only have one box to carry about, not a pedal board...

See also pretty much everything 'sportsy' being called 'the Emirates' something something... People keep telling me 'ooh, go on hols to Dubai! You'd love it!' Um, if they let me in at all i'd be arrested at the airport for just existing! Ironically i have enough jewish ancestry that i'm allowed to go live in Israel if i wanted to...!

Double thumbing sounds like something unsuitable for discussion on a family website..

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/that_time_metallica_used_slap_bass_5_things_you_never_noticed_in_tallica_songs.html Still not cool though.. Although that Larry Graham video is very cool...

Hahaha that thumbnail is just every reason you shouldn't slap... you'll look like that guy... :D I've actually seen some of his videos and hes knowledgeable and a good instructor but oh gods that strap! Gurl! Are you trying to hide that shirt cos I can see why, but seriously you're making George formby's ghost wonder about trademark infringement..!!

6 string fan-fret active bass, with carbon fibre neck. Free to anyone who wants it as i've realised they're forking stupid!

To be fair, i have literally just got to grips with mine after a year and a half - its been up for sale about 3 times..! I think part of it is there are just so many options! I deleted a load of the presets because they were just distractingly weird - and went on youtube watching lots or 'rig rundowns' and those things where they get the master tape of a song and then show you how they do each bit: "Oh, that's what an SVT really sounds like? Ok, note to self, never buy one..." A big difference i found between modellers and other types of effects is that because they're modelling an actual thing, like a "UREI 1176LN" compressor, you have to actually learn how to properly do compression or it sounds pants...!

It was completely ruined for me by this...

Top tenuous connection.. I know the tromboner in the support band (The Skapones)...

eek.... Think i'll stick with the Manson stuff.. Again, not to derail and with care for the 'no religion' clause, Hillsong are not known for being down with the gayage! Which is kind of ironic because they all sound like Eurovision entries (aka the LGBTQWhateverWeAreThisWeekIForget olympics).. ;D

My school choir (damn my descant was awesome..!) once spontaneously dropped the bassline to 'Hit the road jack' into 'God rest ye merry Gentlemen', going 'Joy, joy joy joy' after 'tidings of comfort and joy' bit. It became the official version.. Ok, here's a dare - drop in something by Marilyn Manson (rules: none of the covers or stuff off of Mechanical Animals that's blatantly ripping off Bowie) and i will donate a tenner to the charity of your choice. Video evidence needed, obvs...

We could get into a thread derail here that would get us told off on the 'no religion' rule, so i won't... Christian metal makes no sense to me either, however..! TBH any kind of music where the lyrical content is restricted to one subject confuses me a bit! Yes i am looking at you Pete 'how do you write a pop song without the word 'love' in it?' Waterman..!

As a totally non-religiony person it totally throws me when i see some complex pedalboard setup on instagram tagged with #worshipchurch or something...! When did churches go metal?!

Hahaha! :D Probably.. :D

Blatant self-plug (ooer): We did spoof the whole 'react/watch me playing a video game/deliberate clickbaity title' thing on our 100th video craptacular: which so far has had 27 views.. Oh well.. We had fun making it! I think the best bit is the song at the end actually...

This rectum: Also, yeah, clickbaity titles... One of my subscription channels posted a video a while back explaining how youtube had changed their algorithms so basically if you didn't have "NUCLEAR EXPLOSION FAIL LOL" urls, the chances of you getting views is like, none...

Yay! Yeah, its a super useful thing - also if you're powering other pedals with a daisy chain, it stops them picking up the 'dial-up' noise from the B3n..

Also re the 'keeping it simple' comments above - all the effects on this are actually an old Zoom 505. Still got mine and one of the things i do like about it is lack of tweakability.. Compression knee, attack ratio? No idea what that is but i've got Comp1-9 and one of them will probably do..

Noodling around last night, does the B1-four have the Squeak Rock patch? I've stuck a small reverb, put the blend to about 40% on the 'Squeak' and boosted the bottom on the speaker cab and it sounds brutal... Gives me a nice 'thrum' feeling in my upper belly..

Some weird noises courtesy of my reprieved Zoom attached..:D First one, a Krafterky idea for an upcoming song. Second one, i just call it 'Dr Funkenstein. And a nutter bar steward fairground organ from hell sound i found while trying to make Royal Blood type noises! synths.mp3

Where is your band playing? This sounds right up my alley... or have you anything on YouTube? Also: personally I like a wildly inappropriate cover version, so anything girls aloud or kylie stuck through a p-funk metal blender would be my suggestion... probably not helpful if your singer is all 'popular = crap'..

I do this with my b3n when I'm away for work (another reason not to sell it!). Laptop into zoom via the aux and out to headphones, it works well! I have played around with audio interfaces and then vst amps but unless your computer is bonkersly fast theres always latency. Plus somehow faffing with vst plugins is less fun than actual musical kit somehow...!
