  1. Yeah, those M1 Airs are outrageous. Had I not needed the 16” screen, I’m sure I’d have been happy with one of those.
  2. Here's a clip from my debut run out with the WB-100 last night. It's not a great example for a few reasons: The camera is pointing right at my cab so there's not much context I'm using flats for this one which won't appeal to most The stage volume was pretty low, and there's no noisy guitars to fight against, so the WB didn't get a chance to work up any sort of sweat With the benefit of hindsight, I'd have driven the input gain a little harder to get more glow - as a result, it's pretty much clean... which isn't a bad thing! What I hope does come across is the huge amount of detail. There's no tweeter in my cab, but it's all so clear. What probably doesn't come across is the low end, which seems to even bigger and immediate than the Mk1. The DI seems to be the same as the MK1, albeit slightly hotter. I'll post a rounds-with-louder-band clip soon.
  3. He’s using GH2s so wouldn’t have thought he’d have any problems..?
  4. ...I was about to say an M1 MacBook Air, but thinking about it it's probably overkill for what you need.
  5. Could you stretch to a I never do. Is this a Vegas thing?
  6. Hi gang Just part-way through Trevor Horn's new autobiog, and it's blummin' marvellous. He's a humble, likeable bloke, and his journey from the pit villages of County Durham to the global pinnacle of polished pop via dancehall bands and Yes is remarkable. There's a reasonable amount of bass content in there too. Well recommended.
  7. OK, so some observations & comments: Leszek certainly knows how to pack an amp. I can only think Dave dmccombe7's first parcel must have fallen of a cliff during transit 😞 Feel the quality... it's beautiful & solid. The fit & finish is outstanding. Nothing feels cheap. It's gorgeous. Just look at it. Only one handle compared to previous iterations... I don't mind this at all, 'cos it's a one-hand lift and it means you can set it down on its end if you need to (for short periods under supervision!) Mid knobs! 240kHz & 600kHz - I've always ran these preamps flat, and never felt the need to tweak. But I guess they're there if you need them... both EQ points feel sensibly chosen. I haven't had a chance to break it into a sweat yet... I have a gig this weekend (if it's not cancelled) so I'll give it a run out then. Can't wait...
  8. Quick DI test!
  9. Quick try-out! (Crappy mic alert)
  10. Well, it was kinda inevitable, but it's finally happened. Unboxing vid!
  11. I'd like to meet whoever mixed the audio for this clip, and shake them by the lapels.
  12. You do realise it answers your question, though.?
  13. Did you miss my post above?
  14. The answer lies in the 'Make offer' button.
  15. I can almost forgive him for playing polite parpy J tones throughout the electric era. Almost. But not quite.
  16. LOL @ Fender
  17. Return to Zender.
  18. I believe the guy they wanted back in the day (local legend Frankie Gibbon) couldn’t join due to contract / management issues. He’s still alive btw 😄
  19. Ha ha. Poor Gazza. He tried. Kind-of.
  20. Put me in the 'It's hideous' pile. They've basically curled one out onto it. Dreadful overblown nonsense.
  21. Too dense? What the heck?? That’s a new one! Who was the courier? Glad you’ve got a new one, though. Keep us posted (if you excuse the pun).
  22. Nowt, other than it gives me hope that there's a few miles left in me too 😄
  23. More like last weekend than last night, but anyway... a reunion of sorts. One of the bands wot I'm in used to be fronted by three brothers, but they haven't performed together for seven years. They got back together for a one-off. The venue is a 250-seater, and I'm happy to say it sold out in a few days. Drummer is used a percussion kit thing to keep the stage volume down, but it sounded great. I used my '71P, flats, HandBox R-400 and TKS 2x12 with a mic on it. Hopefully we'll do it again sometime. Here's a song from it.. bear in mind these front three are all knocking around 70. They've still got it.
