    I think you mean to say it is engaged as soon as power is turned on.

     

    That is strange to me as most pedals have a latching on off stomp to engage and disengage the effect.

     

    I guess yours is a momentary electronic switch and the unit defaults as engaged when powered up. Did you RTFM? Maybe there's an internal toggle for it to default the other way.

     

     

    RTFM? Strange, but it only happens with Boss pedals. Other brand pedals stay calm.

    Hi. Currently i have 4 pedals in my pedal board- 2 Boss pedals - BC-1X compressor and CEB-3 chorus. Both automatically switches on when the pedal board is connected to electricity. For compressor it is ok because use it all the time, but chorus? Why? Is this for all Boss pedals? Is it possible to be changed?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the ideas.

     

    I'm definitely going to look at a nice strap,some locks, a tuner and a pedal.

     

    I'm pondering if I just get him involved so he can get exactly what he wants rather than me trying to second guess.

     

    I like the idea of him having a strap that he'll have for a few years.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Yeah, a strap made from alligator skin !

    Ooooh this is nice! Mike Long at ATB Guitars has just posted this on Facebook. '64 Jazz, Olympic White with matching headstock. My dream Jazz right there.

     

    For anyone interested (I'm not, it's waaaaay out of my price range) Mike is great to deal with. I bought my '73 P Bass from him.

     

    Drool.....

    HOW hard is it to find a decent band to play in these days?

    I had a bleak time after I left a signed band when I was 28. I couldn't understand why bands wanted a more simple feel. I really was actually quite angry and disappointed about it. 

     

    Then after a bit of a venty post, Chris B said "maybe you're not going for the right bands?" Something immediately clicked and I realised that was the case. 

     

    Since then, I've been very picky about the projects and people I work with. I'm very lucky to be in 2 originals bands with people who are not only great players, but also lovely people.

     

    I guess being in the sticks is much more difficult. I'd probably be doing some form of online collaboration if that was an issue. Certainly, where I'm from in Scotland I'd be stuffed as I'd have to drive everywhere and I've never owned a car.

     

    I think as many have said, be very sure of what you want and eventually it'll make itself known. Although one of the bands I'm in is mine, the other, I was referred to the guitarist by a friend, so that has been borne out in my experience at least. 

     

    Yes, I had to wait for a while to get started with both of these and the gap between them and my previous projects was actually about 3 years. There was only a few attempts at things during that gap which didnt work out, but I will say I was lucky.

    Best regards!!!
