If you cover the labels with masking tape before applying the velcro you protect the labels. Also use some alcohol to degrease the pedals before sticking the velcro on.

This should fit OK unless you have some very high pedals... Stagg UPC-500 500x255x90mm ABS Guitar Effect Pedal Flight Case Int. dim. (HxWxD): 255 x 500 x 90 mm https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/pedalboards/stagg-upc-500-effect-pedal-case

Stick a walnut truss rod plug in there too... -
Same here... MS Edge can't connect to their website as it gives ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR - there appears a problem with negotiating an https connection. It does work with Firefox browser.

Me too... I had nothing decent to compare it to so I was happy in my ignorance.

Limited signal from an instrument cable.

Yes, this. Be sure to remove any conductive plastic (thin black layer) around the central conductor. -

Most likely the jack socket is faulty and not switching off when jack is unplugged. -
HPF/LPF - Clean low end bump- and other ideas . .
Bigguy2017 replied to Stofferson's topic in Effects
The VONG filter kits are really good. I've got a mini LPF on a guitar pedalboard as a 'fizz killer' and the VONG Filterung (sweepable HP/LP filter) is very useful on guitar and bass. -

What's with the four holes between the bridge and PuP? Has it had mutes removed?

Changing Impedence like Audere does in their onboard preamp
Bigguy2017 replied to Owen's topic in Repairs and Technical
You can use a tapped audio transformer like the Cassidy bass does. -
Make sure you are recording to an AUDIO track and not an instrument (MIDI) track

Have you armed Rec on the track? Is there a record button as well as a play button that needs pushed?

The room being square is the main problem as the H and V room nodes are the same frequency. Something like these will be required...
-
Not easy. Not easy at all... 3m x 3m (square) means same standing waves across and along the room. You'll have a very pronounced ring around 114Hz and 228Hz. If the ceiling is also at 3m ish thing will be even worse. Dealing with these low frequencies needs thick absorbers - 75mm spaced 75mm off the walls. Any irregular surfaces for dispersion will help with the mids and highs but a large low frequency peak like you have is difficult to stop. 2m x 1m x 75mm hard fibreglass panels or Rockwool filled frames (cheaper option) covering most of the walls with corner bass traps are called for but they would take 300mm off the room dimensions. https://www.studiospares.com/acoustics/acoustic-panels/primacoustic-broadband-panel-beveled-24-x-48-x-3-grey_464772.htm or similar Tuned membrane absorbers matched to the room node(s) can also work. Use Audacity to generate pink noise and put this through your speakers. A decent LDC mic at the listening position and Spectralissime Spectrum Analyzer will show where the big peaks and dips are and their amplitude.

Vintage 70's bass guitar - worth getting it fixed?
Bigguy2017 replied to dajaphonics's topic in Repairs and Technical
Saddles are high and action is low, so a neck shim is most likely needed. First check neck straightness and relief. -
Les Paul. For bass? Hard to say...

If it comes and goes as you move the bass around it is some external interference being picked up by the bass' wiring. As rmorris asks, is the bass screened? If not, screen the pickup and control cavities with copper tape/foil and connect it to the basses ground. It is 'normal' with unscreened instruments to pick up interference. The other approach is to find the source of the buzz, in the house, and if possible eliminate it. This can be any electrical kit - mains transformer in the amp, wireless routers, networking over mains units, mobiles and chargers, HVAC, light dimmers and even ring mains wiring. As it's a constant buzz it's probably the mains wiring - if it's the amp getting closer makes the buzz worse and most of the other sources are intermittent or pulsed. Best approach is to screen the bass - it will then be good wherever you take it... 😉 https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/shielding-copper-tape-1-inch-x-5-feet-25mm-x-1-5m or similar
