Which compressor pedal do you use?

This post took me to Google and Google took me back here to a thread from 2017 in which you were singing its praises once again 🤣 Unfortunately, it appears to be discontinued and seems hard to come by at a decent second hand price. It has pointed me in the direction of the EBS Metaldrive though which looks like it might have some potential ... possibly?

Hello grunt. Thank you for efficiently packing my orders, your accuracy is appreciated. Can you tell me, there was something on social media a while back, about how Amazon floor employees get x amount of break time on their shift but it takes ten minutes walk to get off to the floor and to the breakroom. What was all that about then?

Err well yeah good point. 😁

This. I do not want to live in a world where there is one super retailer and no individuality on the high street.

I boycotted Amazon this year too. No big anti-corporate reason, just they f__ked me over with a transaction, and decided my custom for the entire last decade wasn't enough to reimburse the small cost of their fault. I waited until my Prime expired a couple of months later and then stopped using them. I shop online ALOT. There are very very few things that I actually need to be delivered next day and I don't particularly miss watching trash on Prime in the evenings.

I'd hazard a guess that your working knowledge of Wham's back catalogue is way more comprehensive than mine...

@MacDaddy I see you and I raise you! This one's even better (and not just because Tom Araya looks abit like Father Christmas there).

Posting again due to complete awesomeness:

Oh god, my world is ruined.

@Al Krow you said it much better than me 👍

You'll have to ask the main man @Al Krow, he was harping on about it for months before I bought it off him but I wasn't really listening. (I am a busy woman). All I have really done with it so far is use the custom effects but only because I have other software, and have no desire to use a drum machine. I would recommend it as a good starter pedal though, just to get some flavours. It has certainly helped me begin to discern what's what.

Crunchy isn't the word I'd have used but anyway 👍 I didn't get the rest of the stuff you guys were saying a couple of pages back. I really do like the Rat effect on the b14 though, so I'm glad you went from Darkglass to Rat when you were talking to @Al Krow, I am obviously getting something right somewhere in my own little world of not a clue ...

I definitely want to explore it some more, yes. It sounds good but it doesn't sound quite 'right'.

I hope no bunnies were harmed during the creation of that effect.

I was speaking generally! Some of those effects don't half remind me of the slappy stuff you like to play 😆 (and why wouldn't they, it was yours first) That Darkglass patch is alright but it's not quite perfect to my ear ... I think I require more ....

Love this video

YES. I saw PT in 2008 which was the first gig I have ever been to where the audience remained seated throughout. It didn't stop loads of people shouting "I love you Steve!!!" all the way through, mind (not me).

My best purchase of 2021 was a second hand Zoom B14 pedal off @Al Krow which has provided lots of fun messing around with stupid effects that do not match the music I'm trying to play in any way, shape or form. There is not a contender for most boring purchase although there was a vaguely entertaining period during the summer which kept me on my toes, as I bought and returned several cables to Planet Waves which were faulty/suspected faulty/not faulty at all just me being a wally really. Thankfully, @bassfanhad the good sense to step in and recommend a Van Damme cable which is dead slinky and I love it.

Aaaaaand I'm in the next one up.

Bas has sorted me out with a gig bag I urgently need. Great price, item in good condition. Thanks again, Bas.

Last year, electric guitar sales spiked like crazy after the pandemic began. I read an interview somewhere - can't remember who or where - reporting that their guitar company was having the best year of sales in decades. Fender also began doing free online classes for beginners. What a great marketing idea - an upturn in guitar sales, so let's get free classes out there for people to develop their skills and become longterm customers.

How so?

Excellent.
