King Tut

Ha ha I'll try to remember. I'm using a patch called Red Headed Bastard that I beamed in via my phone!

I'm using the spectracomp at the moment. Mostly because I occasionally use different basses with differing outputs. I only have to adjust one pedal rather than all my patches. Also I sometimes use an amp with a built in comp that I might use.

The official name of the band we're touring with is 'Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs'. Ken was the original drummer. They're a great band and lovely fellas. Couldn't have asked for a better opening night - packed house, seamless changeover and nice performances all round. Chislehirst tomorrow (Wednesday)!

I've got about five or six patches set up - a standard patch with just volume pedal and noise reduction, then the same with a chorus and High Pass Filter. I've got another patch set up using a muff for fuzz, then one for the intro for 'all in your mind'. That was an awkward one because I have to keep switching between clean, intro and fuzz throughout the song so I've set up a chain of patches with some duplicated so I can just shift up sequentially thru the chain. I use the unibass in a couple of places dependent on which songs we're playing and the chorus on one or two songs set up on a fairly extreme setting. Comp is always on unless there's a comp on the amp. See you at The Garage!! Just on our way to Sutton for the first date!

This'll be my pedalboard set up. Black Ric 4003, an old Trace AH300 GP7 SM and an Eden Nemesis 4 x 10.

Yeah the Eden is coming with me. I prefer a taller rig - 2 12" cabs stacked vertically but it's gonna spend a lot of its time in a van so vulnerable to theft. I'd sooner leave the Eden in the van than a Barefaced for that reason.

I finished my shift today to greet five weeks off work - that's four weeks on tour with STRAY and a week Rest and Recuperation. This will be by far my most consuming musical exploit so far - we'll be playing 16 dates over four weeks travelling the length and breadth of England and Wales co-headlining with Ken Pustelnik 's Groundhogs. If you live along the road we'll be taking it would be fab to see you on the way. Feeling very lucky to have been given the opportunity to do this stuff with Del and the other Stray fellas - came a bit late in my musical career - but better late than never and I'm loving every minute of it!

Del (Bromham) who owns it is well known for his use of Firebirds - that's what the case foam was cut for. Not had a chance to try it yet - it's still with Del. We start a tour on Tuesday so there's a good chance I'll be trying it soon!

Zombie thread resurrection - our guitarist is moving house and just found this that he'd forgotten about!

Following!

I've been looking for some caps for the graphic on my old Trace head for a while. @Deedee turned me on to some but they were a bit pricey. I found the same component at RS Components much cheaper. They need a slight trim but cut easily with a craft knife - and cheap as chips! Fill ya boots! https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/toggle-switch-caps/1253514/ Fitted -

Recommending what I'm currently using - Bugera Veyron 1001T. Nice and warm, powerful, built in compressor (more of a limited but nice) and cheap as chips.

Thanks fellas - sorted now from RS components. Hopefully got some cheap slider caps too bit won't know for sure until they arrive!

Thanks - them knobs are a bit pricey eh?!

If you could please bud that'd be awesome. I'll get some eq caps ordered!

I've not looked inside. I've tried googling the Bisonic number but it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere. Thanks @TheGreek I'll Surrey Amps a try!
