  1. I'm a big fan of Joyo. The XVI poly octaver is outstanding.
  2. I concur, a set of glass weighing scales gently tapped against the base of the loo as I slid it between loo and wash basin. It instantly transformed into granules, no injury.
  3. While I wouldn't judge sound or playability from a photo, I think it's fair to criticise appearance on the basis of, well, appearance...
  4. You can play two notes into a non-polyphonic octaver and two notes come out but that doesn't make it polyphonic...
  5. That's how I understand it!
  6. If it did that I would send it back with the comment that it isn't polyphonic... Yes, but tracking and latency aren't the same thing. As I said it avoids latency by using original signal, but it still has to track and process each note separately.
  7. But it isn't. If you play one note, then another overlapping it applies a separate effect to each note. I know it blends the unprocessed signal in to reduce perception of latency, but it is truly polyphonic, applying different processing to each note so it must be splitting the signal? If they are not synthesising each signal from scratch but actually splitting and processing each not individually is actually more demanding as they have to determine pitch AND capture a waveform for each note.
  8. How does the polyphonic bit work if it doesn't track?
  9. There's a Richard Thompson concert on tomorrow, we're invited: https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2020/royal-albert-home-richard-thompson/
  10. Problem is they cut your fingertips off...
  11. Tokai SG Ibanez AS53 semi-acoustic pimped with getsch/DiMarzio pups in gold covers, scratchplate (and ex-gibson small knob Kluson tuners and Gibson knobs added after this pic). Squire Tele, with dimarzio stacked bridge pup, Gotoh-like tuners soon to get new pickguard, 3-bar bridge and through-body stringing. Kay 2-T,my first electric. Strange thing made with a neck out of a skip, cheap Floyd rose copy bridge, generic humbuckers and now a heap strat type body.
  12. They ain't loud but I love the sound of my Flea Jazz with vintage '64 pups... Even through y little Orange Crus 20W combo I can get some lovely sounds, recently discovered 'We Care a Lot' 🙂
  13. To be fair I think they are just screw holes. I notice its has 'plate was lost' written on what I thought was the end of the neck, but looking closely the grain shows it's a through neck.
  14. My daughter went through the Andy Ballsack thing at about the same age ...
  15. It nibbles away at efficiency, its good practice to plug leaks.
  16. ...I'd Do It All Over You 🙂 You can tell it's Caravan the moment the keys come in.
  17. How on earth is the neck attached. It seems longer underneath as if there's no tongue under it and the body is recessed? What a car crash.
  18. Here you go, worth its weight in, err, high impact polethylene? https://www.toolstation.com/dowelling-jig/p22284
  19. Well compared to my traces it does like like you have a lot of high frequency noise but I think that could be the mic/computer. On the other hand the middle traces look a bit 'flat topped' on the higher peaks which would sound like the mild distortion/odd harmonics effect you are getting. So this could be the issue. As only on half a cycle, this could be an offset bias, a failing power supply capacitor or another component on the way out. Next step get someone to take a proper look. Ah well at least we've had some fun....
  20. Probably getting clipped, mine does that I had to move the mic back. When you go to the page a popup should appear asking for permission to access the mic, if you miss it and don't click yess it won't work.
  21. Won't stretch my workshop's facilities much, but i'm happy to do it if you post them to me, drop me a PM and I'll reply with my address 🙂
