Re: Zoom MS70CDR+

Most of the M effects have an output parameter though, no? Not the rotaries. 20240322_092506.jpg 20240322_092516.jpg DRIVE has surprisingly little effect on volume to my ears. If you turn MIX up full and DEPTH (and HRN DEPTH) to zero you get no sound. I don't notice a significant drop in volume exc...

Re: Zoom MS70CDR+

The specs say it can run for 5-6 hours on a pair of AA rechargeables. Interesting about the problem with proximity to a PSU; this may be because of a poorly screened/filtered switch-mode PSU. One reason why most of my pedal board PSUs are heavy linear lumps.

Re: NGD - LTD Viper 256P

Back in 1981 my late friend, recording engineer and producer Martin Rex , was sent by 3M to the USA to be trained on maintaining their new digital studio recorders. He brought back an SG; the neck snapped in transit. He had it fixed and it snapped again when knocked off a floor stand. He had it fixe...

Re: Sans drummer help

Given how good digital is these days, a big analogue amp is getting harder to justify, and guitarists probably would benefit from just having a "make loud box" like you say. But we won't go for that, because we're all children. So I reckon you're going to see more things that are basicall...

Fender prices in the UK are anecdotally in pounds whatever they are in dollars in the US.

Re: Pedalboard modellers: Whats your pick?

Getting a bit off topic here, but for Bacchus... I hooked up my M13 MIDI Out to my M9 MIDI In. Tap tempo is sent - but so are any selections made using 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B on the M13. I suppose that could be useful if you could work out how to use those combinations. ISTR that expression pedal...

Re: Pedalboard modellers: Whats your pick?

For the soul band I have a Roland GR-55 and I have a GK-3 pickup on a Squier Stratocaster. As a pedalboard the GR-55 is limited in the number of effects you can apply and control in any one patch but you can change patches. It's fairly old tech now but still sold. For the other (rockier) project I'm...
