Thanks - I'd intended to have a bit of a session over the weekend with it, but a work job overran into the weekend plus my son's car needs a bit of TLC, so it looks like it's being deferred to next weekend instead.

I checked - all set to Instrument.

Ah - the old "I won't be buying anything though" ploy! 🙂

I'll check that out - thanks for the idea.

My latest iteration. The HX Stomp replaces four discrete pedals. The two footswitch unit is preset up/down for the HX Stomp; it's temporarily housed in a 3-button case, but I have a blank one I need to drill the holes in and shift the innards across. The MC6 is due to connect to the C4, when I get the MIDI interface box and re-program it, but in the interim the DMC micro is filling in. The Signal Blender merges multiple inputs from a GigRig CincoCinco. I'm now only using 4 of the QM 6's loops, so I may downsize to a 4; however, that would then potentially free up space for another pedal, so I'd need to go back to the 6!

Cheers for the clarification - I definitely misunderstood!

I tried googling this, which was enlightening: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-lm&q=smartass

What’s a no-load pot?

Well, there's always the HX Stomp... 🙂

I like the no-pots option there! 🙂

Why the higher value pots? Ah - the old A/Log vs B/Linear question; some say Log for Vol and Linear for Tone.

So, I've had a bit more of a play with it and my impression is that the effects are pretty good for accentuating parts of a song (eg. a solo with a spot of chorus) and the tracking for the octave effects is spot-on. However, the overall sound with no effects on loses something; I'm connecting it via a GigRig Quartermaster looper switch and switching it in is noticeable. Based on that, I wouldn't use it as a single fly-rig preamp unit. I also made a separate two-switch box and configured that; I spent a while wondering why only switch FS5 would work, but then I found that I'd set the option to say FS4 is patch up, but I also had to set another option to configure it as a switch rather than an expression pedal.

I'd guess 250k.

Linn Isobariks are one of the most regarded Hi-Fi speakers; they're not small, so the isobaric principle wasn't used to save space. If I had a warehouse full of kit, there'd be a pair of those Orange ones in there, next to pairs of Ampeg 8x10 and Acoustic bass bins, but I haven't, so I haven't!

Well, going for the vintage P reduces your mod options. But at £99 (inc VAT, + £8 shipping), you're not going to lose sleep over it! As for simplicity, the J is about 0.05% more complicated than a P - it's just got a 2nd Vol pot attached to what is otherwise the same circuit.

That's pretty much my thinking. I hadn't realised Planet Waves parts were worth that much, but on the flipside it has a builtin tuner (but on the flipside of that it has a battery compartment cut into the body too).

I think the seller is a bit optimistic in their pricing... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224845497917

Looking on another site, it seems that there are a number of regional guitar shows lined up for this year; almost one a month, dotted around the country.

I think that almost all will, because the ones on a Fender are different sizes.

Looks like it's disappeared.

Yep - a Schaller 3D (that's what they put on the 4004 and on the 4003s/5).
