this is true of music from any time period though - if you go back to a top 40 from the 70s, 80s, or whenever then there's only going to be a few songs that are still popular. this is where the likes of Rick Beato fall down when they try to compare a current chart - which is almost always mostly dross, from whatever period - with the canon of enduringly popular songs from the last 60+ years. I seem to remember that "12tone" did a good video about this phenomenon on YT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODG4Xt45bU

maybe some electronics guru can correct me, but instrument signals are a few hundred mV at peak, so I would have thought that 9V would have been ample as a supply. I've always thought the whole 18V supply thing was "more is betterer" marketing guff, or maybe pedal companies just like selling more units after customers fry their 9V pedals with an 18V supply. 🤣

I'll keep it simple & just say "a bass" as the best thing. I actually ended up buying two - a Squier Affinity P & a CV Jag - but I like them both for different reasons. I've been an off-&-on (mostly off) guitarist for 30+ years (not that you'd know it to hear me play) & I bought the P for the occasional bit of bedroom recording. but now I find myself picking up a bass more than I pick up a guitar & it's really re-awoken my interest in playing music. worst: BOSS CEB-3 Bass Chorus, not terrible, just sounds a bit synthetic to my ear

welcome EB - I think Spinal Tap wrote a song about you.

say yes, but only if you can play the drums.

as Henry Ford said, “any color so long as it is black”.

same, the drive is too mid-scooped for me. I'm just using it as an EQ on the clean channel for now.

I went to see them in about '94 & they were pretty good as I recall (yikes - 29 years ago 😲). haven't tried the other type, although it would probably be cheaper.

greetings muscular-stumped bass (wo)men. I am a moderately-bad guitarist from Surrey who bought a Squier Affinity P bass for some bedroom recording, because fewer stings, how hard can it be, right? 😉 I now find myself picking up the bass more than the guitar, getting interested in theory, learning where the notes are on the fretboard & also owning a nice 32" scale CV Jag. 😁
