  1. I can only answer for the Helix, but no, you can't store loops for recall. It has a looper for the usual playing in and replaying/overlaying thing, but it won't store them on the device once you change patches or turn off. I suspect the Headrush is the same but I've not tried one.
  2. I've been using that AKG system for about 8 or 9 years I think and have only had a problem once, which I very much suspect was caused by the silent disco in the marquee next to the stage. You could both use the same system, but if the guitarist is using the one linked (ISM-1) then you would need the ISM-2 which uses a slightly different frequency. The bonus is that the ISM-2 appears to be a whole 46p cheaper on gear4music website! If you go this route double check which one the guitarist has so you know which you need.
  3. I think I also went to the output and panned them L & R too when I did something similar, but don't know if that was necessary. I was sending a direct signal to amp and synthy sounds to PA, but whatever it was I used it for has long gone from the set, and therefore the Stomp too. If you temporarily put some sort of wacky effect on the IR path and stick some headphones in, it should be clear if the right sounds are going to the correct ears.
  4. The simplest way is to have 2 mono paths, one with your fx, one dry, and then in the output pan them left and right and use left and right outs.
  5. Correct, Geddy Jazz it is. Fender Deluxe Precision Special is just behind it and is sometimes used for some of the evening (from what I can remember of pre-covid gigs), but the Geddy was just sounding so good I used it all night. And yes, a drummer I can turn down!
  6. First gig since pre-covid on Saturday, at a local social club. Band a bit rusty after only three rehearsals spaced out over about 6 weeks, but nothing any non-musicians would notice. And we have revamped the set a bit during the downtime so some stuff was first performance. Went down well, in the way that always seems to be the routine for cover bands at these social club gigs - audience sitting at tables drinking, with polite applause after each number for the first set and half the second, and then up dancing and cheering for the last 5 or 6 songs. Then wanting more! Punters, staff and band all ended the evening happy though, so successful comeback gig. No pictures of band surfaced yet, but this was the gear after setup.
  7. It's not going to go away anytime soon. I reckon Bryan Adams is pretty well travelled, and everywhere he goes, the kids wanna rock.
  8. These are mine, all bought from new in the years below. Had convinced myself that I had all I required (6 stringers only used for home playing and recording), but having put the pictures together I realised that I should really have a tele. Oh, and something with P90s. And some sort of semi-acoustic..... Electrics: 1978 Westbury Standard Guitar (Black) 1996 Gibson Les Paul Standard Guitar (Cherry Sunburst) 2008 Jackson Pro Series DK2 Dinky Guitar (Eerie Dess Swirl) 2017 Strat Copy - Put together by me from parts (Cherry Sunburst) Acoustics: 1998 Fender DG22S Acoustic Guitar (Natural) 2010 Ibanez G200EC-NT Classical Guitar (Natural)
  9. I've never actually had to audition for a band, they've all been formed with mates, or I've been asked to join through friends/contacts. We have recently had to audition for a guitarist though, the first time we haven't got someone in that we already knew. The most useful thing we did was meet up with the candidates before we formally auditioned them - I don't know if this is usual, but our thinking was that we really wanted someone we could get on with first and foremost (the previous guy was a great player, but unfortunately a complete pain in the derrière). Worked out really well - first guy we just didn't gel with and the second didn't turn up at the prearranged pub (his local!). The third was absolutely perfect. We all got on well, chatted about our musical backgrounds, had a laugh and sorted out six songs to try out with. He turned up for the audition 3 weeks later having learned about 20 and we gigged after 4 more rehearsals. All working out really well so far.
  10. I installed these in my Harkte cabs last year, and have been dazzling anyone who's seen us since!
