I'm going to need you to have a stern word with yourself regarding your alignment of pedals, it's upsetting me significantly!

Do you mean Huskys near London Bridge? It's still going if so, though more geared to dance groups. There is one 'band room' though. The one in Deptford is likely the Music Complex? It's good. There's also a Pirate studios at Greenwich and a few just north of the river - the Engine Rooms and the Vatican are decent.

Yeah we regularly use three U4s with our XR18 mixer, plus one of the guitarists uses an XVive wireless bug for his guitar too, never have any issues. We use an external router for the mixer though as Woodinblack says.

I received mine at the end of Feb and wanted to wait until I'd done a few gigs with it before posting a review to try and avoid that 'new toy' bias. I've now done 7 or 8 gigs with both it and an incredible jazz bass that Dan @d_g built for me and I've just been blown away by the tone from this combination, it's easily the best sound I've ever had. I'm going straight to the desk via the Capo and using in ears with RCF935s as FoH and it sounds equally amazing to me through both. I have the A side set to have just a bit of saturation with the B side then giving a bit of a boost to both volume and hair when needed. Below is some raw audio straight from the desk from a gig last night, majority are just Capo A side but the 5th clip (Somebody Told Me) I think I kicked in B Side about halfway through the clip. The last one (TIRO) starts with Capo A side plus C4, then goes into Capo A side plus Aftershock, then Capo B side plus Aftershock. In short, I absolutely love it! Capo.mp3

That's a good shout, thanks. Wonder how resistant that would be to repeated use though?

I'm using RCF 935s as PA mains with these stands https://www.ultimatesupport.com/collections/telelock-series-speaker-stands Despite the pole and socket both being stated as 35mm diameter (although separately also listed as 1.375" and 1.38"), there's a slight size difference and resulting wobble. I've been looking for a sleeve for the pole but can't find anything that looks suitable, I guess because the sleeve would probably need to be less than a mm thick. Does anyone have any suggestions for stabilising them please? The RCFs don't have a tightening screw on the bottom like some tops I've seen, and I'd rather not screw anything into them. Does anyone have any experience with these Hercules adaptors? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hercules-Stands-SS100B-Speaker-Adapter/dp/B00521KBTC

I'm using the 935s and haven't found any need for a sub. I'd recommend upgrading the speakers and switching to in ears so you can ditch the monitors too. Probably get it all in one car then.

We're looking for a lead guitarist to dep for a gig in Cheltenham on 1st April. It's indie/rock covers - Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Foos, RHCP, Muse, etc. We're based across South London and are also looking for someone who's also happy to dep semi regularly as the guitarist is away with work a lot if anyone's interested. Can send over audio files of all the parts.
-
Haha I've succumbed and ordered one - I was desperately trying to hold out but lasted about two weeks.. 😂 That's pretty much what my board will be - I think it will replace my current pre and my Aftershock so I'll likely be running mini Polytune, Capo, C4 and Atlas. Can't wait!
-
Fantastic thanks - will check it out.
-
I'm after suggestions for suitable places to film a live promo video for a covers band in London (ideally south east) if anyone has any ideas please? Either a rehearsal studio with a live stage we can setup with a backdrop etc, or a decent good looking smallish pub/venue with a stage we could hire. Grateful for any suggestions!

Stick up a load of photos here and I'm sure there'll be someone who can tell you immediately what model it is.

I had a pair of 935s arrive yesterday - only used them individually at low volume with the bass direct into them last night to try and stay on the neighbour's good side! They sounded fantastic though, I plugged in direct initially to see how they were, expecting them to be a bit harsh on the top end maybe but they sounded great. I then put my normal pedal board in between which has a NUX NBP-5 preamp/cab SIM and it sounded fantastic - very punchy with a ton of low end available. I had them on the linear mode, will try the stage and boost settings when I can run them at a decent volume. Will use them in anger at a gig on Friday night - we stick everything through the PA and have a silent stage so it'll be a good test for them, I can't wait to hear them.

Have a look at the John East J Retro, I have the Uni Pre in one of my basses which includes a push/pull passive/active pot, but the passive tone knob works even when in active mode. Thoroughly confused me when I first got it but Is actually really useful. Having a quick look at the J Retro I don't think the same will apply, but it sounds likeone of the knobs acts as a passive tone control in passive mode. They're pricey though so there may be a cheaper option that does what you need.

Yeah there's not really many videos around that demonstrate what the filters and the eq can do, I've recorded a quick video to try and show some of the range of tones available - please ignore the shoddy playing! You can get a huge range of tones from just the 'Enchance' and 'Timbre' controls alone, or together, or you can just ignore them and use the semi-parametric eq to tune exactly the frequencies you want. The video is recorded with a Warwick Streamer straight into the amp and then out of the 'post eq' DI into my PC. No editing or tone shaping on the DAW. https://youtu.be/FgaWmeUh0NQ

Aguilar OBP-3 for sale - at the moment it's wired up to 4 pots - stacked bass/treble, mid, blend and volume with a mini-switch for mid freq selection, but can be easily connected to whatever number of pots/holes you have by switching in/out stacked pots. I used to leave the mini switch within the control cavity as I found it very useful as a 'set and forget' option rather than something I wanted to switch mid gig. Currently wired up with all the pots and the switch plus two battery clips for 18V operation so is ready to go, it can be run at either 9 or 18V. Happy to sell as is, or can snip everything off and ship it 'as new'. Now £80 shipped within the UK

Accugroove Tri112 for sale, amazing hifi sound from a single cab that contains a 12" and a 6" driver plus two tweeters, uniquely constructed and ported - just an amazing 'one box' solution. Handmade in the USA. Its 400RMS at 8 ohms so can be used alone or daisychained, has two Speakon/jack connectors and recessed handles. One of the best things about this cab is it's ridiculously lightweight - I haven't got any scales but I think it comes in at about 31 or 32 pounds. Dimensions are 21" x 16.5" x 17" deep. This has served me amazingly well for many years - I used to have a pair which sounded incredible but to be honest it was ridiculous overkill! It's carried some decent sized venues and outdoor gigs without PA support. It's in great used condition, only selling as all my gigs these days are silent stage - DI to the board with in ears. They retailed for about £1200 - am looking for £450. Happy to ship this or meet up within a reasonable distance of Dartford, give me a shout if you're interested and I'll get some shipping quotes.

Thunderfunk TFB550 for sale - Dave Funk's classic head. Has a ridiculous amount of tone-shaping options - a 6 band semi-parametric eq section featuring bass and treble knobs plus then 4 sweepable eq points offering virtually unlimited tweaking between 30Hz and 4kHz. In addition to that there are two controls labelled 'Enhance' and 'Timbre' - these have been a revelation to me in live use. From the manual: "Enhance: As you advance the knob, the sound tightens up, boosting the very low, upper middle and, high frequencies, while adding a dip in the lower middle frequencies. This brings out the fundamental notes by reducing frequencies that mask them, and it enhances the high-end transients, similar to techniques often used for recording bass in the studio." "Timbre: Like the Enhance control, it is a complex adjustment of both treble and bass on one knob. Use it to range from a full to a punchy bass tone. Turned down you get a deep, full-bass tone, and turned up you get a tight, punchy-bass tone." The 6-band eq is amazing but I generally got every sound I needed out of this amp by using those two controls alone. Any additional eqing I did was then generally for the specific room. Also has the solid state/tube emulation switch. Has 2 DIs - pre and post eq, each with a ground lift and an output level for the post eq. 500 watts into 4 ohms - not sure what it would give into 8, but the same as usual I guess! In fantastic condition - it's lived in a rack for all of my gigs, I think I have the rack ears too for it which I'll include. £550, would prefer collection from Dartford ideally, but open to meeting within a reasonable distance or can discuss shipping at the buyers risk/expense.

Limited edition Source Audio Ultrawave for sale - this is 20/100 of the pre release special order batch with bespoke graphics and a powder coat finish, probably only one or two of these in the country. Able to load both the bass and guitar presets as all are (the only difference between the standard 'bass' and 'guitar' versions is the colour of the font!) These things are insane - it's a multiband processor that allows you to split your signal into 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 10 frequency bands, and then apply any of the band splitting options to a load of overdrive types, including Tube, Diode, Foldback Octave Up, Negative Flip Diode, and more. It's basically a dirt/fuzz/synth pedal on steroids and with the Neuro app and all of the community presets you can do as much or as little knob tweaking and pc editing as you like. If the idea of programming your own patches fills you with dread there'll undoubtedly be a community preset to simply download that will do just what you want, but if you love having minute control over every aspect of your sound, boy are you in for a treat. Oh and it also has a studio quality dual-channel compressor/expander built in with virtually unlimited options for tweaking via the Neuro app. There are tons of videos on it, but there's a great Nate Navarro one here Never gigged so in immaculate condition with the box and all the goodies. £190 delivered within the UK.

The 3Leaf Enabler - these have been sadly discontinued for a while now but are just an incredible eq/preamp/DI pedal/headphone amp, some of Spencer's finest work! The preamp section has a three band eq plus a 'deep' switch for a very musical low end bump, and also has switchable mid frequencies. The preamp is powerful enough to run a powered cab/power amp and sounds top. There's a post/pre eq option plus ground lift for the DI. The DI on this thing is great, I've used it extensively both life and for recording and never needed to try anything else. There's also an incredible headphone amp built in - if you go direct to the desk and run in ears, or like practicing at home with headphones this thing is amazing. It's proper quarter inch jacks for the aux in and headphones out too, plus the aux in has it's own volume control which is great. Condition is like new, I can't see a mark on it. There's 3M Dual Lock on the underneath. £220 delivered within the UK.
