i did quite a bit of research into compressors when I was buying a new one. Famously Ovnilab (Bongomania) has a very mixed review, with an apparent flaw/fault in stomp mode preventing him putting it near the top of his list. He knows what he is talking about and does not seem to identify the issue the Amazon review does. [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/tcnovadyn.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/tcnovadyn.shtml[/url] no talk of missing "mojo" or issues generally with digital compressors, indeed Bongo makes the point that while maybe not as quirky as some analog units, it doesn't sound digital at all. I dont know why TC discontinued. Haven't heard whether this is because of an issue. Also I note that the reviewer is using it for guitar, maybe a different impact? I am interested in picking up a 2nd hand one.

what's his bass?

[quote name='andy67' timestamp='1347063590' post='1796726'] I saw them at Edinburgh Corn Exchange a few years back and they were awesome! Would dearly love to see them again! [/quote] It's Bill's tone and physicality that i love. He's a great musician but he has a way of playing that I love. i saw them at the Venue in Edinburgh in 87-88 Introduce Yourself tour with Chuck, and then Network (Tollcross) in 1990 on Real Thing tour (I am sure Sepultura supported??). I saw them many times again including some of the best gigs ever at the Barrowlands. It was great to see them again at the Corn Exchange in 2009.

one of the great moments - when i first tried my tecamp puma with my midget t compact stack, i literally cried. It sounded like what basses sound like in my head, but i could carry the whole lot in a oner from the car!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1346063286' post='1784614'] What's the problem? Get one of your kids to buy you an early Christmas present. [/quote] I can imagine the look on Mark's face when a 5 year old wee Scottish lassie comes in looking for a Take it Away deal on a Wood and Tronics 5.

cream covers, nice.

Thank Jesus I am 5 hours away

Similar things happening in academia. We have industrialised learning, producing great technicians who fill up conference after conference and journal after journal but there's very little original thought or wisdom. I ain't too worried cause I am not sure this is sufficient to suppress true genius. I am not a pro musician (or an academic) so I don't know whether all these technical experts adversely affect the system but I still buy the music I buy and don't seem to see any direct impact on the output.

cool, good job

that's a real nice live recording mate. Good sound. What's that bass? looks like a cross between a stingray and a reverend? good stuff, not been to the WRB for a while.

lovely lovely

i really really like them - i have a corvette $$5 - but think they're neither cool nor indeed fashionable. What they have is a really fantastic tone that cuts through. Suppose that means they should be cool? To my mind they look 90's.

takes all sorts and some dont change their strings ever. I like sparkle and since I like Legacy's at only £7.99 a set I do every month or two whatever (less than 100 hours?), more frequent when recording and gigging regularly (sweaty fingers!).

[quote name='rubis' timestamp='1345276790' post='1775728'] Could it be fitted into a pedal? Then you could use it on all of them, or anything else for that matter Harry [/quote] John East does a retro in a pedal which would resolve the problem. Not sure that pedal gets as much love as it should. However not as good a solution when someone already has it in internal pre form.

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1345245726' post='1775649']Arhh, to be 15/16 again. [/quote] i am sure its 5/4

nice, real nice

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1345229527' post='1775393'] Only to tell us it's too loud! [/quote] well I'd be happy to swap him for an Ashdown or a Peavey TNT

i would love it if he came back to tell us he's bought an £5K Hellborg rig.
