[quote name='Phaedrus' post='718098' date='Jan 19 2010, 05:22 PM']So make sure one of them is a channel that has a polarity switch? Thanks, Mark[/quote] You should be able to do this on the desk.... depending on how sophisticated it is... if not you could phase reverse the cable into the desk... pain in the arse really.

Sounds fine to me, just make sure you have no phasing issues with the effected channel

Make sure that you fit them properly using the instructions that came with them.... I deal with so many people that have the same issue and it's down to not inserting them into the ear correctly. Instructions for the foam type below - Step 1 Roll the earplug into a tight cylinder. In order for earplugs to fit into your ear canal, you must roll the foam so that it forms a tight cylinder. This makes it easy to slide earplugs into your ear so that you get a proper fit. Step 2 Lift the top of your ear to open the canal. It’s impossible to insert earplugs correctly without pulling on the top of your ear. Otherwise, the canal is too closed off to reach. You will need to grab the top part of your ear and lift slowly. If opened properly, you will feel air coming into the canal. Ste 3 Insert earplug into the open canal. If you opened the ear canal properly, you should be able to slide the earplug in easily. If the canal isn’t open enough, you will find yourself trying to squish the earplug into place. Step 4 Hold earplug in place until the form expands. The foam will take a bit of time to expand. If you simply insert the earplug and then pull your hand away, the earplug will pop out. Instead, you need to gently hold the plug in place until the foam fully expands. This ensures that the earplug blocks out as much noise as possible. Step 5 Repeat Steps 1 – 4. It’s important to insert one earplug at a time. Otherwise, the foam will expand before you can begin work on the second ear. Step 6 Use wax earplugs for swimming. Foam earplugs are best suited for sleeping, but if you need earplugs that are waterproof, wax is your best bet. To insert wax earplugs, roll the wax into a fat cylinder. Press the wax into your ear canal so that a flat disc forms on the outside of the canal. This will help keep water from entering the ear canal.

I'll 2nd Bilbo's offer.... I can transfer to CD, Mp3/4 or DAT if required or AIFF or any other lossless format. Cheers Jay

Missed that one

TC Electronic has just revolutionized guitar tuning at a stroke – or strum – with PolyTune™, the world's first polyphonic guitar tuner. This cutting-edge tuning technology revolutionizes tuning and accomplishes what has been deemed 'impossible' until now: tuning all strings simultaneously! Simply strum – PolyTune™ will tell you which strings need tuning – tune up and you're ready to rock! PolyTune™ obviously has a chromatic tuner as well, rivaling the best current tuning technology out there, with an amazing +/- 0.5 cent accuracy. MonoPoly, another unique new TC Electronic technology, recognizes whether you play one or more strings and seamlessly switches between the polyphonic or the chromatic tuner on the fly. PolyTune™ offers unprecedented visibility using an ambient light sensor, which automatically matches the intensity of the super bright LEDs to its surroundings. This ensures that the PolyTune™ display can be seen in any lighting conditions. So whatever the gig, whatever the light, whatever the situation, guitarists can now strum, tune and rock in an instant. True Bypass makes sure that PolyTune™ preserves the integrity of your precious tone. It allows for the signal to flow unaffected when the pedal is bypassed and for silent tuning once engaged. The PolyTune™ pedal chassis features a diecast aluminum box, heavy duty footswitch and 100 LED display, all built to endure life on the road. Quite simply, PolyTune™ is the greatest innovation in guitar tuners for over 30 years. Tuning could not be easier or quicker. Price: €85 Available: February 2010

The JamMan Stereo also features a balanced, professional grade, low impedance XLR mic input with a dedicated gain control.

I personally thought that the review was absolutely shoddy.... whoever that guy was didn't explain anything about the set up he used.... very amateur in my opinion

[quote name='alhbass' post='712069' date='Jan 13 2010, 11:12 PM']I've seen Zoot cabs on ebay, and for some indefinable reason I find myself quite drawn to them. But I've never heard one live, and can't even find a demonstration on Youtube... Got in touch with the maker/seller - I'll visit anytime I can get down there, but I don't have the time to make the journey right now. So, can anyone advise me from personal experience? I'm particularly interested in the 2x12, but am tempted by the 2x15 (can't really pretend I often need a cab that big though...). I'd just be interested to hear your opinions... I have a Markbass LMK amp. Thanks.[/quote] I'm soon taking delivery of the new zoot cabs under the new name of [url="http://purple-chili.com/"]Purple Chili[/url]....

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='711844' date='Jan 13 2010, 07:56 PM']Once Upon A Time, in a far-off & strange land (Taunton) I had an ancient WEM 2 x 15" that once spat a 1/4" plug out of its socket (mind you, I think that cab was Cursed - it would pick up Norwegian radio stations as well). Speakons also make it nigh-on impossible to confuse a speaker lead with a patch lead. My only (minor) gripe is that the bodies snap together & the internal connections are secured by screws - I'd prefer it if they were solder connections. Pete.[/quote] you can solder them too. When you buy them you get copper sleeves with the connector to do this with
