He actually got on stage and played a few songs with a band I’m filling in for next month so I’ve got a little extra bias. Just seems like a top chap.

I think the thing I like about Danny is beyond the brash Yorkshire humour is a genuine love for music. I do enjoy his deep dives into some of the ridiculous stuff that’s happening in the music industry, glad someone’s talking about it and not dancing around the subject.

Diversity is good, it’d be sad if all entertainment was middle of the road enough to appeal to everyone. There’s an insane amount of content and entertainment out there which is immediately accessible thanks to the internet. The overwhelming majority has no interest for me either, if I don’t like stuff I just move on, there’s plenty for everyone.

I love the 434, just wish it had the 734 style inlays. Tbf if I pick one up I’ll just probably add them my self. Crazy value!

Did people get signature instruments and gear in the past because of their musical prowess or was it more of a commercial decision based of how much units they’d shift. I’m not sure that anything’s changed in that respect.

He seems really down to earth and I regularly see him out and about at local gigs supporting bands which I respect a lot. I don’t like everything he puts out, he’s brash and loud but it’s a refreshing change from most of the bass content out there. I struggled with it at first but warmed to it a lot. As for clickbait, unfortunately that’s just how it is now for small content creators, without it you’re sadly not gonna get much traction.

Yeah, Rockboard should be easier as it’s only a single layer. I do have the dremel to tidy it up a bit though. Just can’t decide if I should mount the Mod 1 patchboy or individual IEC, XLR and 1/4 jack sockets. At least the individual ones can go on the sides and should leave more space for my Sansamp and Cioks underneath.

I was thinking of doing some similar mods to my Rockboard duo to fit their patch bay. Thankfully it doesn’t have to be too neat as the patch bay mounting plate will hide the mess. Did you use a hacksaw?

that’s how I set my capo up with the GT1000core, very fun setup!

I gotta say, I never noticed any noticeable addition to the latency for more complex signal chains with the MOD Dwarf, that’s not to say it wasn’t there but certainly wasn’t apparent. Using the channel routing as an FX loop or utilising their “Portal” blocks which allowed parallel processing to lower CPU usage at the expense of latency however had a huge impact. Was pretty essential though for using the AIDA-X captures.

Yeah I did play around with a lot of stacking and parallel routing, the Rude premium drive ended up being the closest I found for my personal taste. A clean blend with some EQ and careful compression got me close but I’m just really picky with drives. I ended up selling it on a while back, just wasn’t getting much use vs my actual pedalboard.

I loved the dwarf for the level of potential nerdiness, got some great bass tones out of it although it was the drives that I struggled with a little. Crazy ambitious project, glad to see that quite a bit of that lives on in the Anagram.

Just grabbed this Sansamp Bass DI from @tayste_2000, one of the OG ones with internal trim pots. I’ve played with Sansamps at gigs and used them in the studio on occasion but never owned one. This thing is great, it’s got a lot more clank compared to other newer models I’ve tried, while I loved the OPUS, I wanted something which didn’t add as much colour. Doesn’t disappoint!

Yeah totally get that, especially with big screens and air vents but there’s some great protectors you can get to minimise risk. I remember when the cat knocked a guitar neck off a shelf and it landed headstock down about an inch from my QC, nearly needed to change my trousers. Our guitarist uses a nano cortex for his new metal cover band into the return on his JCM800, he was comparing the capture with the amp at practice and aside from slight level differences it was practically perfect. I still think they dropped the ball by missing out an FX loop, makes the pitch stuff pretty useless if you want a drive pedal on your board. The anagram is a hell of a lot more power though if you need it. And the I/O is incredible.
