People who are scared/confused about menus, don't understand the concept of one knob being able to have several functions, have a tendency to option paralysis, and think physical controls somehow magically will make it sound more analog. Such people does actually exist. Or simply people who just likes the concept of/needs having physical controls for all parameters, and prioritize that over having access to additional tweakable parameters, flexibility of routing/the signal path, and number of effects available. Again I am certain such a user segment does exist. For instance I would say this wins as a live impro multi effect over a traditional "modern" menu diving multi effect pedal, like for instance as a live noise and experimental electronic music effect processor that can actually be tweaked live on the fly, or whatever context elsewhat where effects are treated more so as musical instruments in their own regard, rather than just simply, well, effects (I do realize that with a midi controlled multi effect and a midi controller the same and even more would be possible, but that would also be much more circumstantial and require a lot of extra work to get going, less convenient and immediate). In any case it is definitely a niche product. But I am pretty sure also an actual exiting niche, with not a lot of other competitors on the market filling it out already, other than older used units that doesn't feature quite the same modeling quality (whether that then is desired or not). I'd say this is a wise move from Boss, who (unlike Zoom) rarely mess around.

So stereo rigs and effects is a lie?

Really cool.

Great point! Does indeed sound like the drummers work. That is at least if such is involved in the musical project in question.

Genuinely groundbreaking work is measured in $ now? In that case I wonder how come Einstein wasn't the riches man in the world... Or why more scientists aren't rich, and how come some inventors of pretty genius stuff even died poor... Or how a lot of truly groundbreaking musicians in most cases did... Also Microsoft got a habit of buying up smaller competitors and stealing their hard work, in other words they are basically the business equivalent to scavengers, or even worse parasites. Of course this is pretty common practice for all big companies with enough capital to do so, but Microsoft is not exception in that. And sure parasites are a very successful family of animals, but normally not that well seen.

Sounds awesome!

I removed the somewhat failed paint splatter figure on the lower horn of my 5 string just 28.6" scale 5 string Ibanez Mikro Bass (it did scratch the finish, and I temporarily fixed it with black permanent marker, but plan to fix it poperly with black paint and clear coat at a later point), and applied red insulating tape (also known as electrical tape) to the pickups. Before and after pictures :

Although I use a vide variety of finger "plucking" techniques, including 3 finger technique, I do sometimes just use 1 finger, depending on the pieces I play, however not exactly the hook, which is pretty far from how I relatively gently stroke or flick the strings, depending, with the outmost tip of my fingers/quite specifically trimmed nails.

Everything Mike Suggerbarf and El Ron Muff touch. Mircosoft and Gill Baits ought to be dead too, but can't be assed to go through the inconvenience of Linux. And can't live without Gööggels, but that ought to die as well. Politics Inc. for most parts too. Most big corporate business is a parasitic scam really, and sadly that includes politicians for most parts as well. Heck, the whole so called "Civilization" is a scam, as far as I am concerned. No wonder Trump and his associated conspiracist got such a hold on people, though they are a scam too, just lucrating on the fact that people have been lied to for basically thousands of years.

Also, which mainly studio musician did that at that time, let alone studio bass player?

I aim to make the audience cry at every single gig!

Anyone know what the average expected lifespan of a 12AX7 preamp tube is in approximate hours of operation? Also does this change depending on the kind of plate voltage they run at, like is there a notable difference in lifespan of a tube that runs at proper 300V plate voltage, and then a starved 70V plate voltage? Also does it shorten a tubes life significantly if it is turned on and then off for shorter periods of time frequently compared to instead less frequently being turned on for longer periods of time (but as in same average operating time)? Also does it shorten the life of a tube if is left turned on for several hours?

Cool! Well, it worked/works for Höfner. This!

I was just trying to be funny, but I see not very successfully, perhaps it would have made it funnier if I had indicated my jokes with emotes.

Yes, that was the joke.
