  1. Yeah, using just one earbud isn't good for your hearing. It's potentially more dangerous than not using IEMs or earplugs at all. All you end up doing is turning up the volume to compensate for the loud surrounding noise around you, and you don't always realise how loud the single IEM is. Common wisdom says, if you're going to use just one IEM, then stick a decent nusicians earplug in the other ear to balance them out.
  2. I'm sorry to hear you're going through a tough financial patch, and met with a bad FB marketplace experience. As others have said, FB Marketplace can be a hive of scum and villainy. But if you're not in a rush to sell, it's worth wading through the chaff and persevering with. I've sold a number of music and non-music items via FB marketplace, generally all at or close to the price I advertised for, and more than I would have got via eBay. I tend to slightly inflate the asking price knowing someone will make an offer, and I lead my adverts with something along the lines of "first come first served, no silly offers, cash on collection only". It doesn't weed all the scammers and twits out, but it helps. If they do ask, I tell them to read the advert again. FWIW. The questions from prospective buyers annoy me more than anything... "What's your best price?". Have people forgotten how to negotiate? Make me a sensible offer and you'll find out, don't just ask me to offer you a lowball price. "Can you lower the price by £XX as I have to get a train/bus to collect it from you?" Absolutely not. I'm not covering your travel expenses, what do I get out of that? Usually when I've had multiple offers I get: "I can collect it today if you take £XX". As if they're doing me a favour by giving me a lot less than I'm asking for just to take it off my hands quickly. I tell them I have better offers lined up and I'm in no rush to sell.
  3. There's also the new Mvave Tank B, mentioned in this thread, which looks quite useful. It even has an XLR so you can use it live, straight to FOH. I'm tempted to pick one up for that price (about £70 via Temu) to use as a backup. FWIW, I've just bought the Katana:Go, and I'm impressed with it so far. I've had a few headphone practice tools over the years (Pandora, Mooer P1, Nux Mighty Plug, Pocket GT) and this beats them all.
  4. I had a feeling they would sell like hotcakes! I wonder if your Katana Amp presets will be compatible with the Katana Go?
  5. Same here. Mine frequently transitions to an 'outer dialogue' when I'm alone... or I think I am. I frequently have conversations with myself when I'm riding my bike to and from work - sometimes I wind myself up and get cross, but it's cathartic and helps me process things. My wife has caught me muttering whilst showering several times and thinks it is weird as she never talks to herself. But then she's told me she listens to whole songs in her head via her 'internal radio'.
  6. Back at Birchanger Social Club last night. First gig for us since just before Xmas, and first gig with new Allen & Heath CQ18T mixer and my new Sennheiser IE 400 Pro IEMs. It's a regular venue for us, but unfortunately it was rather on the quiet side, not to mention we had to wait for the rugby to finish before we could start. But that meant we could take advantage of the excellent food and cheap beer before we started. Every cloud... We played well enough, but as I say, it was a quiet night, so only a few dancers. But they seemed to enjoy it. And even though we've had a few rehearsals since Xmas and I've practiced at home, we were clearly out of physical "gig shape". All of us, apart from young Sophie, were broken by the end of the night. Hopefully, another couple of gigs should do us good. Really happy with the new mixer. I'm glad we had a technical rehearsal a few weeks ago to set it up but it's going to take a few gigs to properly dial it in and get the in ear mix just right (we're sharing a single mix for the time being). Talking of which, I'm very happy with the new IE 400 Pro IEMs, none of the irritating harshness of my previous ZS10 Pro X set, with a lovely full range and deep sound. And the sound from the new mixer seemed to be much clearer compared to the old Yamaha desk. Next gig in 3 weeks time back at the Cow and Telescope. Looking forward to that one.
  7. I ordered one yesterday after posting this. It's at work with me as we speak. Looking forward to trying it out later. I was very tempted by the new Pod Express, but was on the fence, partly due to the price. No fence to sit on with the Katana:Go - it ticks almost every, single box.
  8. First gig of the year, then a busy few weeks.
  9. To be fair, I meant a bassist or guitarist.
  10. Just had a look at the pdf manual and parameter guides. There's a lot to like with this. A veritable Katana in your pocket. A ton of effects and parameters to keep you entertained for hours, plus a "stage feel" function, similar to the Waza Air headphones that lets you choose where the Bluetooth audio and amp sits in 3D space (such as amp in front of you and Bluetooth behind - no head tracking, mind you). £120 on GAK. Sounds like a bargain. I think my Pocket GT will be up for sale very soon. PS, with mini TRS cable and passive DI box, it could make for a potent backup device for gigs.
  11. That would be most helpful if you could. FWIW, I tend to use the octaver down to around the open A string mixed with the unaffected tone. Or I use a 100% mix to simulate BEAD tuning, so needs to track the open E string.
  12. BOSS - KATANA:GO | Personal Headphone Guitar Amplifier Looks like a cross between the Nux Mighty Plug/Fender Mustang Micro, and a revamp of the Pocket GT. As I said elsewhere, it's a good time to be a bassist/guitarist.
  13. Holy moly, and now we have the Boss Katana:Go. It's a great time to be a bassist/guitarist.
  14. Hey - I noticed in the manual that this device also has a pitch-shift effect. How well does this work, sound and track? For instance as an octave effect or to simulate BEAD tuning? I haven't had much luck with pitch shifting on cheaper devices as it's quite a processor-intensive effect.
