And makes me want to buy one now (well, not really, but yeah, if i could). I have to say how much im enjoying my Beocs, and mainly for the visual feedback from the meter. Ive had Comps before with meters but never really understood them. This one seems to make getting the effect i want so much easier. I could well be looking at moving up one notch soon and get the Stella 😉

Even Chris at Smooth hound said there shouldn't be any real issues, even with the SH PSU

im not very technically minded, but is that different from using an isolated supply like my Cioks?

Thanks. All i wanted was a small wireless system that doesn't need anything special to work with it, just like my Line 6 G30. Ive not read of any others having this issue when using it on a pedal board, although maybe they are using a separate PSU just for that one device.

Looks like there might be a fault with the SH, as there is a fainter, but audible high pitch whine even with my Cioks DC-5.

Cheers guys. I've got the reverse adapter. The SH works fine on its own with the 1 Spot, as it does with any of my power supplies. It’s when I try and split the power with other pedals that I’m having an issue. A very loud hum. Becos works with other pedals using the same PSU, inc my Line6 G30.

I’m looking to power just a Smothhound wireless and Becos comp. I was hoping i could do this with my 1 Spot wall wart. It works as far as powering but i get a huge ground loop. Was thinking of the Palmer PWT-04, which is just under £50 on Amazon. Will this work?, anything smaller?. Cheers.

Although if a venue cancels its out of our control, we (i) have never cancelled a gig due to a virus. And I’m saying this after just finishing our usual Sunday night takeaway.

Is there a setting for the Expression pedal (in the Helix) that allows you to change the type of cable you use for it? I know there is for the amp control pedal. You can tell the Helix its either ring or tip positive (or something like that).

Ah, so the first is the stipulation and the second is the process if you dont like it, based on the first. I was reading them as separate things.

Im a bit confused over what this means 'If you have not been in touch before ordering, we will ask you a few questions to make sure it's the right cab for you. If you choose to buy a cab which we state is not the best fit for you, then the trial period is no longer applicable and cabs cannot be returned (unless faulty).' 'Should you find your purchase unsatisfactory in any way you have the right to return your cab within the first month, undamaged, for a full refund of both your purchase price and the outbound postage and packing charge. Please retain all the original packaging and do your best when repacking to ensure the cab will survive the return journey - if the cab is damaged due to inadequate protection you will be liable' I get the first bit, although its a bit restringing IMO, but doesn't the second cancel it out? Does the first mean that it doesn't matter (within reason) what the condition of the cab is in?

Fair enough, as i said, i could be wrong. I do know a few shops offer 30 day money back guarantee (Thomanns/G4M/Andertons/GAK spring to mind) so i buy from those places. i wasn't really knocking BF, just pointing out that trying in a band environment for 30 days is also possible from other companies, albeit if not ordered direct. Not sure how many of us order direct from the manufactures these days unless its high end, more bespoke gear.

I would have thought, but I’m no expert, that anyone selling on line has to, other than custom made gear.

One of the big selling points foe me is how easy the FX is to set up without using the software. I know visually it’s easier to use a computer but 1, i dont have one in the room where i play, and 2, i want to be sure i know where everything is when I’m at a gig etc. You can copy and paste blocks across different patches etc. It does take longer though so i can understand doing this sort of thing using the software. Really wish there was a iOS app to do this. Then life would be complete.

I gigged a LMII and SA450 for a good few years, never felt the need, or needed to cover it in a bulletproof vest. Also never had an issue seeing where the knobs are set. Surely you set and forget at sound check? I also find light behind me distracting. Just not my thing i guess.

And that’s why we can buy on line and return the item to most online shops. BF have to work within the distance selling regulations, they just make a ‘feature’ of it.

And so easy to move that to anywhere in the signal chain, or change which switch you use to implement it all.

its funny but i got the FX as a simpler version of the Stomp, i dont need the amps etc, but found it will do so much more in a live situation.

As much as i love my Stomp, im always amazed at what the FX can do (although in this case the Stomp can also do this).

Yes you can.

Back when i posted the above post i was told they were on their way to him. Seems like they weren't available until yesterday. He does now have them and says they are very impressive, other than the spatial effect, which is a gimmick (his words). He is a big fan of the Boss Katana stuff and says he can get a lot fo that vibe with these. Ill be trying them out asap.

I got a pack of these a couple of years ago. Never used them, i dont think Ive even opened the packet. Im happy to post them to you if you want them https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0026WZB7W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got a Rumble LT 25 for Christmas as very impressed with it, especially the digital side. Quite fancy a Rumble Stage 800. That would save me needing any pedals or Helix.

They seem to be picking up a lot of good rep. I got the 800watt head from Thomanns for £450, and its become my fav head. I love it through my Berg CN212, but cant help feel i need to try one of the higher powered combos. I believe they are very light which would be great for rehearsals.
