To be fair I wasn’t expecting them to fix it, it was a long time ago, but the attitude of asking me to prove it was like that 4 years pervious was a bit off IMO. Could have been handled better. So it’s this reason I won’t use them. As for the reference to TV’s and Washing machines etc, I believe the wording says something like ‘for what they are designed for’. I read that as a piece of professional gigging equipment should be up to what goes with the job.

You are of course welcome to your opinion. Are you saying that the amp won’t be covered? For what it’s worth, they said if I could have proven it never worked they would indeed sort it out.

I use G4M a lot and never had issues, and ive returned a few things over the years. Also used DV247. These days they seem to only send out European models so I always get a shaver adapter. For this reason i tend to avoid them for pedals etc. I have had a couple from G4M as well but ive got in touch and they have always sent out a proper UK PSU, meaning i get to keep the first one as well. The place i will never use it Guitarguitar. I brought a GK head from them that was great until about 4 years down the line and I realised (in the studio) the XLR was dead. I had never used it before so never noticed. They said i had to get it sorted at my expense. When i mentioned about it not beeping that old (thought we were covered for 5-6 years over here) i was told i had to prove it was faulty at the time of purchase. I can appreciate things could have broken during the time, i had it, but as it was never used i doubt it.

Haha, i must have been stoned when i wrote that 😂

Yeah, ive seen the Acoustic piano hack. Apparently it’s slightly lower quality compared to the others, but very useful. Even just a CP Piano is fine. Ive found i just sit with the Reface and work out songs etc. And a piano seems to be the cleanest tone to use. The DX piano is ok i guess, does the job, but sounds a bit too artificial Even worth the MODX i tend to chop and change piano sounds. Too much choice sometimes, so the CP will be ideal. Ill never use it live.

Decided to well the DX. Its just not getting used much. Might get a CP once its sold. I really like the from factor, but the only thing i use the DX for is piano and the DX isnt that good at doing them.

.....‘Weller will only have this much respect by 2020’....

Well you might not hear it under certain conditions, you may hear it under others. Who knows. I know of a few people that have reported interference from pub’s WiFi routers etc, so the better systems are (or should) be more robust. I agree though, for small pub type gigs these are fine, its just that you didnt state the type of gig in your post where you commented on why spend more.

I was going to put ‘this is a pick, you wont get anywhere unless you use one......’ 😬

Anyone use these? I want a small pair of robust headphones for using with my Synth at gigs and rehearsals etc. These look cool and i have had a go one them a while ago and though they sounded good with music. Not looking for Audiophile or anything to keep the sound out, just something to help me hear myself better. Just wondered if anyone was using them and what they feel about them.

How can it be dodgy if its working? You just aren’t noticing the difference. Thats all that counts isnt it? Even different leads/length can make a difference, but it doesn’t mean you will always hear it.

When I started using my Xvive, I had a few issues, as my guitarist was using them as well. Only at rehearsals though, we never seemed to get issues at the 2 gigs I did with them. When I swapped over to the Boss all those issues went away. Same room etc.

Very cool shot and story.

That’s very good advice. I’ll also add know the songs inside out if possible. That way you dont have to think too hard and don’t rely on hearing everyone clearly all the time.

Did a pub gig years ago where a strippergram turned up for a birthday night (our backing singer was a strippergram but not in this league). It was quite a blue 30 mins. The funny part was she asked to borrow our singers mic. Did a few novel things with it over the 30 mins....then handed it back to our singer for the second set. Should have seen the look on her face. Us backing vocalists put a tight hand on our mic’s and wouldn’t let her change mic’s. We had to up the gain of her mic as she wouldn’t put it too close to her mouth 😬

I spent a lot of time going back and forth with mine, and like you i felt the BDDI was just a bit more ‘me’. As much as i love the older versions of the BDDI, for me the proper v2 is noticeably better than it seems to be on paper.

Saw this on Reddit as well.

Perfect!!!!. If I i had known about these I would have gone for that over the white one i still have and love (from 2009).

I thought it was a chorus pedal lol. I really didn’t know much about the Jam or Bruce back then.

Nah, all gimmicks to bump the price up 😂

And build quality. The pro units seem to be more rugged. Those bug types are quite easy to get knocked or jolted on a small or busy stage IME.

And not plugged in or on a strap. Maybe it was the other guys. Same here. Had so much fun learning those bass lines and playing those songs. At that town i wasnt a Jam/Weller fan so most of them were very new to me. I love the bass line to Ghosts, never noticed it was fretless.

Yeah, there is a difference, but one that you may or not notice. For home use I’m happy to use my Xvive, even though i hear the difference. Its more the tail end of the notes rather just overal quality. My comment was more aimed at gig use. I also see a much better connection between the Boss compared to the Xvive at home. I get a lot more drop outs with the Xvive, even though I’m less than 3ft from the receiver. With the Boss it seems to be rock solid most of the time. I like the Xvive as it has a proper on/off switch, meaning i can leave it plugged in to my (passive) bass and Stomp. With the boss I have dot unplug after use other wise the battery drains. Ive never used the really cheap systems though.
