Well... watch this space. This weekend has been quite a revolution.

Can tell you from all my experimentations, the backbeat has it's transducer in the wrong place.

If this board comes to realisation... it'll knock your socks off. 😜

No worries man! Here starteth the revolution! (can't believe you aren't a woojer fan!)

The world doesn’t work like that though. Complaints drive change, particularly if it’s a common complaint. If nobody ever complained, improvement and innovation would stagnate. So again, I have to politely disagree with you. Im not sure why you appear to have so much butt hurt here, the forum is rife with complaints about Rickenbacker, Ashdown, Ampeg - I’ve even seen a fair few complaints about Shuker (another homegrown) - but it’s how they are dealt with that makes all the difference.

That looks nice! The only thing I don’t like is the plastic nut on the jack socket. Looks cheap - WoT - go tell him!

Side loaded is so unconventional it just seems wrong. How easily can the encoder knob be unsoldered and put onto a flying cable... because at the end of the day, it is that which is the real problem.

If a brand is being publicly shredded on a forum, you should stop and ask yourself why. There’s usually some sort of justification behind it all! imho of course!

I don't believe that at all. I'm sure the sniping helped - because I'm sure Alex's posting was more about damage limitation and publicly being seen to do the right thing... when clearly the customer's issues were not high enough up his order of importance when the customer was going through the "proper" channels... So well done for Alex to finally addressing the issues - although I do question his choice of words in response. If I was the customer, I would be livid with the response as all it tells me is that I'm well, well, well down in the pecking order despite having paid top money for a cab. Why should BF be immune to criticism on this board? If any cab from <insert manufacturer here> was having peeling tolex issues, I would more than expect a similar posting complaining about it. I'm all for supporting British and all that - but only if the product is up to the competition, especially when other manufacturers don't seem to have the problems that Barefaced have. Additionally, I don't think I've ever experienced that sort of response as witnessed above when I have had issue to talk to manufacturers.

I can't believe what I've just read. But hey ho.

Have you considered mounting two jack sockets to the box instead of switches? Then you can have a separate box that is used just for the switches? This means the FI could be tucked anywhere in a pedal board and doesn’t have to be accessible with a foot. The only important thing then is just the screen?

Feet...

Remember, prerecorded tracks have been through limiters and been mastered so haven't got the transients that are present in live music (yes, compressors on your aux can tame things a little but it's not comparative to a recording) - As a consequence, I would say take tracks that have obscene amounts of bass because thats whats going to give up first. My go to IEM bass unfriendly tracks - Free - Rudimental, Can't Stop Playing (Makes Me High) - Dr. Kucho! and Gregor Salto (0:45 onwards - it's this track (I think Ive posted it in the thead before...) And for detail and sound stage, Hell Freezes Over version of Hotel California - The Eagles As a rule, I would always take headroom - so extra drivers in the low are going to be your friend, especially if your primary concern is live use. You may prefer a lower driver count in isolation... but in a band situation, that extra headroom is going be appreciated.

i've been working on my own haptic feedback platform (mentioned in to @Gunsfreddy2003 not too long ago) that has a more uniform feel that the Eich and P&D boards that I've tried. Also, they are a lot more smaller (60x60) than other boards, so more friendly for the smaller venues. I'm working on getting my drawings CNCed now that I've completed them. The prototype is pretty mean and I'm proper happy with the results that I've got. I'm getting some machined for my band - and the cool thing is, they should come in substantially cheaper than the competition. Operational noise wise, they are near silent - which is great - as the design has eliminated anything that could potentially cause noise. Sound interesting? Once I've got the first built, I'll share the details here... so if anybody is interested, I may be able to negotiate some volume discounts for everybody. I was going to wait to post the pics... but meh. Threads been quiet for a while!

Has anybody got a quality alternative to the following - https://www.adj.com/light-bridge-system Theres lots of knock offs but the ADJ one was actually pretty good...

Looking great. I love a good project, I do.

Indeed. Why are there so many salty comments about posting up covers? I got a barrage of it on Facebook today... by a bloke who’s band plays... covers.

...presumably he doesn’t slum it in the bus though. He will be in the private jet.

He may have worn through his gigging strides by now.

Aye - well, they have been at it quite some time. A guitarist I worked with had their original Power Engine - just looks like they've put a decent speaker in it now though (to handle bass) and uprated the amp somewhat.

Nice! Great project. I suspect you'll get a few people wanting one!

Kemper editor!

What feels like a life time ago now. Some fun times doing these gigs... Jerry Scheff taught me a thing or two about bass lines!

EBS now seen that the writing is on the wall and want to help kill of rock n roll. This into a FRFR would be pretty cool... it's basically Fafner 2 yeah? And their onboard compressor. Sweet. OK - so we don't know about speaker sim... but am I right in thinking that a lot of people are running without a speaker sim on their FRFR setup? I know I am!
