Sorry to hear this .

7 different type of Mooer synth tones . Individual arpeggiator for each tone . 7 slots for storing users presets, Firmware upgradeable via usb.All this in the size of two fingers . No fighting cat sounds in this unit 🐈⬛🐈 Price includes postage . Not sure about trades . I used it for bass . Not used much, hence the condition. Boxed with all the candy.These go for about £90 new. As I have synths , I'm not using as much as I should . I may keep it . . It deserves to have Mooer use. Prefer ordinary PayPal payment .

Not much different from their earlier budget effects units imho . The looper is a nice touch . The synth sounds like fighting cats 🐈🐈⬛ . ,which is fairly common in budget effects units. Not for me but after seeing the vids , I may get out my toneport ux1 with the line 6 monkey🐒. Cost of living crisis etc.so cash saved ..for now . What would imho be a wimner for line6, is if they could sell an effects box with all the settings from the Variax Bass .

Can somebody explain DI Recording to a dummy?
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE replied to MikeTheMisfit's topic in General Discussion
Someone will probably explain it better ; DI ( Direct input ) is where you have a cable going from your amp ( if it has a DI socket) into an audio mixer. Some multi effects units have a DI socket , which means that in theory you could plug the cable from your multi effects unit into the audio mixer directly without bringing your amp to gigs / rehearsals . Also, if you did use the multi effects unit , there is a button on the unit giving you the option of ' straight bass ' without effects if you prefer. DAW , is digital audio workstation . This is a device where you plug your instrument into it which allows you to record onto your computer -
I assume you'll get the refund at some stage . Fingers crossed for you , that you haven't too long to wait . life and the cost of living crisis , does have a tendency to affect and annoy us at the wrong times unfortunately . Having said that , it's a temporary blip for now and you'll carry on your synth journey before you know it . Keep us updated .

Just wondering ; which is better out of the Minitaur ,and the Toro ? Is there much in it ? 🤔 I'd guess that the Toro would be better in a band situation . I have the Minitaur, and don't really think I need another Moog type bass synth . The Toro does look good though . I decided not to purchase the Moog Marianne app , as I think too much Moog bass is a bit overkill .

I purchased that Hank Mizell single back in the '70s Along with spinning rocjk boogie by Hank C Burnett . ( Bernett?) I don't know the story of those . I thought they were just retro singles , or whatever the term would be . 🙂

Which companies are dead to you?

Wow! I thought that Nad would be a little more upmarket for curry's . That's a surprise . -
I used to go to Alaska studios a lot , back in the '90s . Used to like it there . The pub next door was handy . We used to take trays of drinks into the rehearsals .🙂

Myself and mr drums , decided to keep the covers band we had alive and audition for guitarist and vocalist . We ended up with 2 guitarists . All good . Things going well . We then had a few people lined up for auditions for vocalist . Warning ; possible cultural misrepresentation .. First ' vocalist ' arrives . Mmm.... not our age group. A lot younger . He was Asian . No problem . However, he was trying too hard to assert himself on us at the earliest opportunity. He wasn't relaxed at all, and was saying 'I'm gonna make it ' among other things in his broken English . He named 2 songs from the list we gave him in advance . Obvious he didn't learn any of them . He was very hyper , while treating our band like X factor or the equivalent . so, we asked him to accompany us on ' American idiot ' and 'Teenage Kicks '. That's where the fun started . I say fun , but it was like having Benny Hills mr. Chow mein character with us . We were having great difficulty restraining ourselves with bloated faces about to collapse at any minute . We did turn around at various stages to cackle / cry with laughter hoping not to be seen . Amerrrrican irrriot , and heenage kiss never sounded so bad . Thankfully the last person we saw on that day was our new front man .

With my 40th birthday gig approaching , tragedy struck as our drummer had to unfortunately pull out ,with very little time to get replacement before the gig in question . Invites sent out etc. At the same period in time , I was leaving my place of employment . A very large organisation , spread over many floors . A sales person who vaguely knew of me , heard about my predicament and volunteeered to come to the audition. . The audition was one of the strangest I've ever encountered . I have a lot of respect for drummers obviously , and good ones are hard to find in my experience . Anyaway , the guy was a miserable , arrogant and untalented tool ! He was calling all the shots as to the way he plays . He put on his gloves . ( yes really ) . He then said ,"I only play standing up!" He p@ssed everyone off with his miserable attitude . Of course my mates / band members were asking where I got him from , who is that tw@t etc. When I phoned the ' drummer' to break the news that the original drummer could make it after all , ( my excuse) the 'drummer' was shouting and snapping at me knowing I was lying . That was painful . The other guy we auditioned was a great laugh, a nice guy ...but obsesssed with sex and Thailand . He had a big house in a desirable area, a nice wife and children, big salary etc . However, he had sex with someone in Thailand and wasn't sure if he caught something . Eventually , the wife was told . Game over ! His dad used to run a brothel in the midlands . He eventually married a Thai bride , and imported family members . He played a gig for the guitarists birthday( same lineup) , which he decided to get drunk before we took to the stage . Playing Black Sabbaths Paranoind faster than the stormtroopers of death , wasn't ideal . Shouting at him to slow down fell on deaf ears. He messed up ufo Rock bottom , which is the fist time I attempted it . I was nervous about doing that , but the guitarist insisted we do it as we both love schenker / ufo etc. He was upset . Bizarrely we got approached for wedding gigs , abd others . I may mention the audition for a vocalist , later in the thread 🙂

When THAT person steps into your band!
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE replied to warwickhunt's topic in General Discussion
I've just been thinking about when I first saw them . It was in 2001 . They did a show a night playing each album in order. ( Monday , 1st album , Tuesday 2nd album etc) . I cannot remember if the last time I saw them was at the Shepherd's Bush empire, or Royal Albert Hall. That was from approx 2022 onwards . The only song that seemed to be a bit 'moody', was when Tom Peterson sung on one song . It'll probably work for you if you do it . Anyway, good luck with it . On a slight relevant tangent , one of my mates from that bunch found slayer too much . However after begging/ persuading him to see them , he saw them twice and thinks they're a great live band . 🙂
