I am kind of interested in this now, its probably more than I wanted to spend on a pedal but I do have a specific issue at the moment - I have joined a metal group and where the main group can all be played with a standard tuned 5 string, quite a few of the metal ones require a variety of drop tunes, so I have to use more than one bass (because it is a pain constantly tuning your E on a 5 string!). However, then there are a few songs that are other wierd tunings like drop B. Most you can just rework out for a 5 string, but some would be easier of I could use a drop D b string tuned down to B - so if you dropped a low D down 3 semitones to a B, does it sound reasonably natural, or at least workable? I am currently just using my Boss ME90B but the drop tuning on that is pretty poor. Sorry, I had missed that, I certainly can if the OP doesn't want to / cant.

what else is connected? The noble produces 800ma which isn't much more than than the Mxr needs, so if you are powering other stuff unless it is very light it isn't going to work

I have two acoustics, they are odly both active! -
Vocal Microphones, what are you using?
Woodinblack replied to Phil Starr's topic in PA set up and use
I had a TcHelicon MP85, which I thought went with my voice better than anything, but watching videos, I move my head slightly and it goes completely, so now I just use a behringer copy of something. -

All active apart from the rics and the jabba mini bass. Well, also the chapman stick, although that is active or passive, depending on if you give it phantom power. -

TIL (actually last night), rickenbacker actually did do some active electronics in a guitar. I never knew that. No basses though. -
I think they realised a massive gaping error in their system and fixed it by the fact their servers fell over!

On the group buy thing it specifically states "Important note: This product does not qualify for the IK Multimedia Group Buy. You will not be eligible for further free plugins upon purchase." - is that what it said before?

Well, here in yeovil it is mostly fenders, but there is a Jabba telecaster bass and a 1960s Vox Symphonic. There is also a Kay bass at a comedy price and a Peavey milestone 3 with a 'custom handmade walnut body." - that sounds a lot better than it looks.

Please recommend a wireless adaptor for stage mic
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
Actually no idea, I assume the companies are basicly buying stuff from the same factories - I just bought the first one I saw as I think it was just over £50 at the time and I thought it woudl be handy, and it really has been. -

Now I look its actually the Lekato set, but looking at them they are identical apart from the logo, so I assume they are the same thing https://lekatodeal.com/en-uk/products/wireless-5-8ghz-microphone-system-plug-on-xlr-transmitter-receiver They are available cheaper than that. Also found out that if you leave them on so they run out (they don't auto switch off) and forget to plug them in before a gig, 25 minutes being plugged in (they have one of those 2 way charging leads so you can do both together) onto a USB power bank is enough to get you through 1hr and 20 minutes of the first set, without them getting to the flashing stage (not sure how much longer, we plugged them in during the 20 minute break and lasted the next hour and a bit). I would say that the only downside that we have noticed is that they are slightly wider than most microphones, so if you want to take them out of a microphone stand while you are singing, you need to pull the mic out, rather than slide the mic up. -

The singer in my band uses my Joyo 5.8GHz wireless adapters and has for the last 40 or so gigs indoor / outdoor in a variety of environments - he walks around, dances on tables and goes outside of pubs still singing and hasn't had any issues, we did work out how far he could get at a big outdoor gig once though, but when they did cut out it was clean and came back as soon as he was in range, we also have a lot of other wireless stuff (at the outdoor thing, wireless guitar / bass / IEM / Mixer). Also hasn't gone low on batteries on 3 hour gig Bought once, haven't cried at all. -
Well, who is to say there were any - just what some bloke liked Well, the original 4030 had 4002 wings, as apparently they were around spare - but I see why the 4002 was canned - it isn't the prettiest thing, like a 4001 but with the pickups of a 4004 in a different place and a lot of pickguard.

And maybe they would have sounded better! -
My mum is a terrible driver. She once hit someone unparking after I had said to her not to hit that person. She also hit her neighbours car unparking as 'he wasn't there when she turned up'. She went through a few years of having a ton of minor accidents. Strangely she seems to have no had any issues in a while now.

Not sure why you would need to compromise on power - there are high quality opamps that take nA current now, more down to price than anything. But I always liked the idea, just to stop the loading of one element with another, goes all the way back to hearing the distortion channel on the original Roland GR300 -

Eventually I will do the individual buffers for each string. -
Because it was a custom build made for a specific person (Jesse F. Keeler) who requested it that way and rick built it for him. He was happy for it and they made a few other ones for people. Then people requested a reissue, that is what this is. This is what some people wanted, and they will all sell just fine - it is the rickenbacker way!.

Not even switching the active off if you want that treble cut passive thing?
