madshadows Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Mine arrived this morning, useful little item, the sound is excellent with no hiss/hum, well worth £9.99 John 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordep Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Mine just arrived. Still trying to convice my bandmates to buy their own to replace our lost jamhub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great advantage over my other options is the volume controls to quickly and easily mix instrument and track. But is that worth 16 quid Could be worse! I asked for a quote to ship to Dublin - £16, came to £27 total = GAS cured😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My old Vox headphone amp broke a couple of years ago, so just ordered one of these as a replacement. Well spotted!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 There’s no provision for mains power right? Just battery? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I’ve found it good for transcribing this morning, once I got the volume of the bass and YouTube balanced , you can hear every note clearly to play over the top of , I also plugged my old Tascam BT1 into it which also runs on battery , so I can play over CD’s 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone from Yahama Sales (I think he goes by the name of krispn) will be along shortly with your induction pack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I thought the BT-1 could already allow you to play along with CD’s. Isn’t that the point of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered👍 will be nice to play in the garden during summer evenings I have the blue one (edit: I mean the blue SC ), I can't imagine the battery life (edit: on the red SC ) would be any different. I can't say how long batteries last as I haven't really used mine (edit: my SC )in anger... but they seem to last long enough or I would have noticed. Probably similar to my Zoom H2 recorder (around 6-8 hours?), but I can't say for sure and I never found online any indications as to how long it's supposed to last. edit: they're great these SC units, eh?

casapete Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Got my YSC yesterday, and just given it a try out now. Really impressed! As with all Yamaha stuff, well designed unit with a good solid feel to it. Sounds great too, plenty of level using my P-Lyte and a pair of Sennheiser over-ear phones. Run full tilt I think I can detect a touch of compression which sounds great as well. Going to be a useful tool for keeping me practising during the current situation, so really pleased with my purchase. Thanks again for the heads up, cheers!

PatrickJ Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Another happy YSC user. I received mine a couple of days ago but I didn't have any AA batteries to hand (the kids had used them all in the xbox controllers) so I didn't get to actually use it until last night. I've previously had the VOX amplug and an EHX headphone amp. The VOX had some great features with built in drum loops and Aux in but the sound and build quality were pants. The EHX was a better built but lacked an Aux In which really limited it's usefulness for me. At 1/2 the price of either of the aforementioned items the Session Cake is far far superior. The sound quality is very good, no hiss even with treble maxed. I like you have a level control for the Aux in which made tweaking volumes quick and easy when playing along to different apps on my phone. Since my guitars are all active lack of EQ like you'd get on Ashdown's tone pocket wasn't an issue. Very grateful to the OP for sharing this!

But you don't know you don't need it until you've bought it, used it for a couple of days, raved about your purchase, tucked it safely in the back of a cupboard, forgotten about it, found it again at a later date and wondered why you bought it in the first place. Then you know you don't need it. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 After much pondering, I pulled the trigger yesterday. I'm always needing a small warm up / practice tool. 🤞 this’ll do the job cheers for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
