  1. I have the same OFD pedal, and it uses 140mA, so many power supply unit won't work well with it as they have outputs of max 100mA. I use the Caline 5 which is dirty cheap on Amazon and has one output at 500mA. I only had it for a few months but it's been working great. Go for it.

    About a year ago, my old band played the St Moritz on Wardour Street, Landaan.  Our singer said it would look good on our CV.  Hmm.

    Journey up was fine, got parked north of Oxford Street, half-mile walk to the venue (locked on arrival), easyish load in.  The venue is a basement (a warren of rooms) under a cheese/fondue restaurant.  It reeked of cheese, old beer, old sweat, old smoke and god knows whatever else.  It was like an oven in there.  Stage was maybe eight feet square - barely wide enough for a small drum kit, our amps were set up angled as there was no space and seven feet high (of course our singer insisted on standing on the stage).  There was an air conditioner (off, I mean why would it be on?) attached to the ceiling in the middle of the stage (cue head bumpage).  The venue didn't promote it, we didn't get paid (nor even offered a beer) but they asked us back.  Err, no.

    I remember me and the drummer stopped at a McDonalds on the way home and for some reason I sniffed the upper arm of the shirt that I was wearing and it stank of cheese. 

    Lol, we played there two weeks ago. I can quote exactly every single word. It wasn't advertised anywhere and their website is shite. Furthermore they were showing the world cup quarter final, so there were more people in front of the tiny TV rather than in front of the tiny stage. My singer though went out in the street and managed to convince a group of 6 American girls to pay £6 and come see us. We were the band of the four with the biggest and best audience :D

    The sound guy insisted that Lemmy was a regular there back in the day, and that Deep Purple and AC-DC played there in the 70s.

  3. Played the first gig with my new band tonight,my first gig in 10 years!

    We only played for 20 minutes opening a charity boxe event, in front of about 200 people. During our second song my bass strap fell off and somehow I managed not to let the bass fall. Apart for that and too many mistakes, I guess it went well.

    Looking forward to the next.
