Does the wee vox thing not got a speaker too?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1334675728' post='1619553'] Actually no... but it will help. Main reason for the Xero is as amazing as the Moog sounds, it's noise floor is not brill. In my old set up it was fine but at the end of my extreme set up its a a bit too noisy for my liking... My fault for having a million pedals before it! I won't take the beat to bit. just surgically remove a few units from it. All cabling and powering will stay in place and I'll look to have separate powering etc on the little board (eventually!) and I'll just move a few units back and forth as needed. Looking at sizes online the Diago Showman looks to be the most sensible one for me. I think I'll start planning the layout around those dimensions and see how I get on... [/quote] Will you use pedals which are hidden under your shelf (mastotron for example) - or you thinking of getting another fuzz unit for the smaller board? You could of course just get new pedals and make an even bigger board. I'm pretty sure you going to a smaller setup is a sign of the apocalypse

Was that why you were looking into the Xenograph?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1334674791' post='1619530'] I've been set a summer challenge - to create a smaller pedalboard, using the effects I have, but that will easily go in the back of a car/on a seat/be carried etc with the aim of doing a few shows on the fly (turn up with a mini kit, bass and board and use other folks gear)... Slimming down the pedals will be HARD given the diversity I am used to but I think I have a good idea of which pedals would make up this mini board. Question is - which board to get? Needs to be tough still so softcase/gig bags ones are out... The Diago Showman is an option but I recall it not being as tall as the Tourman and struggling with some expression pedals etc? (Maybe the owner of one can clarify?) This will only be for a few shows, open mics and backing MC's, rather than performing out regular shows... Shep [/quote] The horror!

Maybe get something from max at SFX?

I only currently have download so far! anyone there is welcome to meet for a drink.

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1334231817' post='1612892'] Boo That's a shame mate, but it has to be done right. Hope it's in your grubby mitts soon Eude [/quote] Me too! But i'd rather it was perfect. And I know Rich is the same.

I just had a look as I read this at Orange dealers and saw Red Dog music! Will have to arrange a wander down in the next few weeks...

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1334230910' post='1612862'] Any news?... [/quote] Well yeah - it's not good news though... The paint wouldn't cure to the wood so we decided to the most horrible thing ever Stripped it back completely for it to be resprayed. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1334231311' post='1612875'] I hear it's being remodelled into a rickenfaker [/quote] Hahah never! I have some taste [size=2]Sorry to the ric fans [/size]

Hi guys, This might be a REALLY long shot - but I'm looking to try out the OTB (not fussed about the 1000 or 500). Does anyone have one I could try. I would off course pay shipping both ways or if you're near by I'm happy to have a drive down. Alternatively, does anyone know anywhere in Scotland which has in stock? Any assistance would be amazing Dave

[quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1334133261' post='1611214'] In my opinion there are a LOT of idiots out there in music and you tend to come across them in auditions and I could go into the problems I've had but I'll save that for another day . The one thing that I'm curious about is as the band gets more professional does their attitude improve ? For example I'm pretty much at the botttom of the food chain, my gear isn't great and my playing isn't in any way special so the bands I try out for are the ones who will play a gig in a local pub on a Tuesday night in front of 5 people and consider it a big deal. Unfortunatley the people I meet for audtions are generally not that nice and seem to have an inflated view of their own importance Do the bands that are higher up ,make money out of it and are better musicians behave more professionally ? [/quote] I would say no... I went for a function band audition a few weeks ago (£500-1000 per night), asked which songs they'd like me to learn - so they sent me the set list of about 90 songs. I asked if they had a selection they'd like to do and was told "Nah just anything mate". Hmm fair enough.... Went to the audition after learning about 10 songs of their set only to be told each time "Oh we havent done that one in ages - dunno if I can remember it." Had to pretty much learn other songs they'd been doing on the spot, Managed to do them to an alright level and finished up feeling slightly confident about blagging it. "Yeah mate - we're totally impressed - we've got another couple of guys to try out but we'll let you know by next week regardless." They said a few days before the audition that they had very little interest and hadn't played together in months... Yet they somehow had other folk auditioning? Huh - strange... I've yet to hear back from them.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1333650672' post='1604913'] I'm only 40 miles north of you give or take, Welcome! [/quote] What he said! And yes - you WILL buy lots of toys here.

Oil Sykes is a douche of the highest order. I still want to know if the jäger/piss incident was true. Also detest Liam Gallagher, that razor light dude and any singer who tries to sound/look like John lennon.

[quote name='Josiah 'Goldfish'' timestamp='1333531141' post='1602842'] I don't suppose the ministar's for sale is it? [/quote] It wasnt - but I'm not using it. Aren't they worth about 200 new?

Will swing past if i can get down

Your signal chain is mental! That must be scary if something doesn't work at a gig! Any idea how much cable you have?

That switching units pretty cool.

The thought of carrying that would be horrible!

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1333117098' post='1597716'] Cheers dude - We'll be in Bolton on June 4th... Nothing in the diary for Manchester yet... soon hopefully! I think that happens for every gig doesn't it!! What time are you guys playing? [/quote] Waiting for the announcement of a full UK tour!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1332799953' post='1593441'] I've just bought that type of adaptor for my Jacques chorus pedal from here: [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/mini-jack-plug-adaptor-12-p.asp[/url] Great to deal with - very impressed with them. Also bought a power supply from them which is really good. [/quote] Effectspowersupplies are great.

Why do people bid on this stuff?! It just looks bad used!

Post your thoughts mate once you get it! I'm tempted by going for a gig bag instead of hardcase.

I think Wayne said they sounded good? But are absolute monsters to move?
