Mine doesn't drop the signal, and it isn't touch sensitive or anything, it is just very noisy, If I connect the receiver to a normal 5M+ guitar lead via an adapter, it is absolutely fine, but that really isn't the point! Its fine for at home though, so now it is my home device. It was actually ok if you didn't use overdrive or something gigging, as the noise was below the guitarists noise, but put any drive on it and it got very bad.

The quickest way to do it is to go to Support at the top and send a support request, saying you want to change your email, what your email is and what you want it to be, and then it can be done.

I have two longer than that that have been up for years. And my walls are made of that grey compressed powder they used after the war because presumably they had thrown all the bricks at the enemy.

Used it tonight in anger, and the warble is not so much of an issue in a band setting. But I used it on battery, and it cut out after about 2 hours! Remember, don't use it on battery! In contrast the ME-90B runs on 4AA batteries for days.

I got the MS-1 and still use them, in place of my xvives. they are flimsy but they have worked really well well.

I am too - I now did a practice with the setup where the lekato would have been noisy and needed a workaround, and the XVive was as quiet as a cable, so very happy with it.

Its 48 hours - the button shows the countdown timer before you can press it

Well mine turned up today, and it is certainly the best pitch shift pedal I have used but obviously not perfect. It is really good from just above low E, but my use case is doing Drop D and lowering it down to either drop B or drop C. The D has a slight delay, where it starts a little higher and comes down - its really subtle but you can tell the difference between playing a real B and a D dropped to a B, because of this initial drop. Maybe it is the bass I am using, I will try another one later, that one has a little knackered string. Actually i have a practice tomorrow with the group that I do the drop B/C songs with, so I will see how it goes then

I think the OLPs are great for experimenting on, cheap and loads of space to work with.

Well, when I was young we saw the bigger groups at the Portsmouth Guildhall, but they were very cheap and affordable compared to how much we had, so it was actualy the same price as going to the pub, which obviously we did quite often, because that was cheap. There would often be a band in the pub, or one of the smaller venues. None of those things are that cheap any more. But then, it was the status of those groups, you see iron maiden / scorpions / Dio etc, they weren't mega legacy groups at hte time, they were just the normal groups

When I was first out of school there was a works canteen, but since that job I have never worked anywhere big enough to have a works canteen. Since 1983 I haven't worked at anywhere with over 20 employees - oh hang on, not true, I worked at westlands but that was mostly from home too, and when we were in contractors didn;t go to the canteen (in fact I am not sure where it was)

Well, yes, when I said I WFH all the time, we actually go in every other tuesday, where we have a couple of meetings, then go down the pub at lunchtime (when we were full time there we never went down the pub), then chat - so it is more a sociable time. It is nominally a work day but we go home earlier and nothing really gets done, even indivual sessions where you need to help someone discuss something don't tend to be as productive as on teams as its generally just too noisy with too much going on.

Yes, the knob location isn't standard for the OLP so I assumed there was something else in there.

I have an OLP and use it quite a lot, they are really good for cheap things. Mine isn't any hotter than any other bass I have, but it has a stinger preamp on it so maybe the original wasn't good.

Agreed - speaking as a full time working from home guy, when I was working from work I took my lunch with me, and work was about 15 minutes, so expenses wise, apart from burning more fossil fuel it wasnt adding anything. Maybe 'normal' depends on the area. and I get more done, isn't that the idea of productivity, rather than everyone going out and buying sandwhiches and making things dirty?

Portsmouth PMT I would have a long history with, as it was originally Telecoms, then Nevada. I bought all my first musical equipment there, my first new guitar (a westone concorde), electric piano, pretty well every effect boss did in the 80s, used to practically live there in the early 80s!

Absolutely wouldn't be something I used (3 up or down), I guess they just put it there as they could

they did - thats what i mean, they used to have that (and wasn't there a PMT in plymouth?), but no longer.

The gigs are still good, I think the rehearsals with my main group that might end up pushing me out of the game!

Good clips, if nothing else, it does tell you to avoid the 3 octave up mode!

Yeh, PMT used to be quite good for bass stuff until they moved, only went in a few times after they moved and they weren't as good. But there were others down your way, such as dawsons, in exeter, but they didn't have that much.

Point of order, there aren't any half decent outlets with any choice in Bristol!

Well, some good scavenging there then! Will keep facebook fullerton marketplace busy for a while!

What was skipped? (for those of us that can't get more than 2 seconds through a Sapko youtube!)

Hope it goes better than it appears and all is well soon Greg.
