  5. Here's a tip from your Uncle Rich. When you're beta-testing a design package and you think the auto-save is set, make sure it is. That way, you won't lose the last 5 hours' hard graft when it crashes. >:(>:(

      The swearing. Oh my word, the swearing. I'd have made a docker blush.

      Couldn't quite hear you from here...

      Enough to void the warranty though, I reckon.

  7. This beautiful Sei Flamboyant 5. All I needed to do was replace the very meh Barts and get it properly set up. Instead, I sold it. What was I thinking?

      Bit more than a bumper, alas. :(  The bollard was alongside.

      I was thinking about making a gag out of that but it's past time I showed some sympathy.

      I've been caught with coloured matched bollards that look to be part of the fence two feet behind.  Got no sympathy from the establishment that had them painted that way.  Daft.

      Feeling for you.

  18. It's my trusty old Korg DT-7 tuner. Best one I've ever had, accurate and clear without having to squint. The Zoom has a tuner but peering at that tiny window would have done my head in
  19. My stone-age gear the way I see it, I may as well use it if it still works!

    That's far too handsome to tread on
  23. That sobbing sound you can hear is my new tiny pedalboard distraught at the idea that it might be 'pretentious'. A day old and it's labelled already. No wonder it's upset. But seriously... My tone isn't perfect by a long chalk, but this board gives me everything I need at the moment and I don't give a fffff what anyone thinks it looks like.

  25. My new dinky pedalboard - hopefully a replacement for my Line 6 XT Live. I'd thought about it and come to the conclusion that everything I wanted could be done by just these, so I've gone minimal. Overall dimensions are 320mm W x 230mm D. The wee box under the tuner is the power distribution. 9v will come in from the PSU mounted in my rack case and gets distributed out to the pedals from here. I could have used a daisy chain but I think this is more elegant, plus it raises the tuner and makes it more accessible. I also could have mounted the PSU itself here but I didn't want a mains lead in my cable snake. In an ideal world I'd have gone rechargeable and hidden it underneath, but my pockets aren't deep enough. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out... well, mostly. My one regret is that I painted the board with household gloss paint in an attempt to get a nice shiny surface for the velcro to stick to, and it's taking aaaaaages to dry. It's been over a week and I'm still getting wrinkles and fingerprints and it's really peeing me off. It's got another week, and if it's still soft I'll junk the woodwork and re-do it. I have plenty of timber and velcro left. EDIT: sod it, I'm just going to re-do the timber anyway. I can't live with those paint imperfections.
