Noisy Towns

Recommended Posts

Band practice last night in Trowbridge. Or Trowvegas as it's known locally.

Same rig as I have been using at home without any issues. Same bass, cables, pedals - everything. Never had any issues with it 

Plug in at the rehearsal room and it's buzzing like a chainsaw. Horrible.

Now the last time I gigged in Trowbridge I had exactly the same problem, but with a totally different rig. And the time before in a different venue with, yep, you guessed it, a different rig.

So, logically it must be the town itself to blame. 

Anyone else know any towns to be avoided because of dirty electric?

Do you have isolated power supplies for each pedal through a separate power supply unit, or are they daisy-chained and just plugged straight into the mains?

Yeah all my power is clean, isolated, filtered etc etc 

I swear it's the bloody town itself.

Ofc if you want to hide electricity where no one will find it, stick it in Devizes...

 

(I have lived in Trowbridge, Corsham, Market Lavington and Larkhill) 

 

I have worked in Trowbridge, Calne, Devizes and Melksham. I'd never want to live in any of them. I don't really like the people's socialist democratic republic of Frome much either

Which rehearsal room do you use?

..., they're really good at using the natural reverb of the old concrete building 

 

...yea, i heard these new-fangled 19" RAAC Reverb units are rubble rubbish by comparison
