The fashionista in me wants to attack that line 6 module with a can of white spraypaint.

the purista in me wants to attack it with another one taped to a sledgehammer handle.

Chainsaws work too..

I've been slippin' and a slidin', and wondering which way to go - Line 6 (good, tap tempo, expensive-ish) or Behringer again (almost as good, annoying 2-sec delay in changing mode, cheap). What's the best deal you found on the Line 6?

i got that one i'd seen local for £40 new. been in the shop ages, so the rubber has discoloured a little. the speed change is great, though i'd like to be able to mix the dry signal in with it. there's quite a change in tone with it on, which is the whole idea, but when you turn it off you can tell it's off.

You got a great deal. They seem to have gone unavailable, Dolphin/DV247/Rocking Rooster are all saying they're no longer available.

i was speaking to some of those suppliers on your list about a few other things and there were saying that they are waiting for a huge shipment of stuff from China from a number of manufacturers at the end of this month (Behringer was one of them).

do you have any of those line 6 pedals, nick. i could send you the module to try out. less on postage then.

Stop taunting me by offering to send me something I can't buy! Yes, I have the Space Chorus (though I find the Boss chorus easier to gig). I'm just looking at the Roto-machines on eBay now...

i'm happy for you to borrow it. i'm not gigging at the mo and it's not mega integral for practice.

after show

I've been gassing for reverb recently. It's probably the one think I miss from my old amp. Since i've been running my amp clean and using the OCD for all drive duties, I may pick a verb pedal up cheap. I'd prefer reverb over delay, delay is more for effect to me, whilst verb adds a nice bit of ambience to everything.

Are you still not into the idea of an M9 or 13?

Probably wait for the m5. I use a room reverb from my m13 when recording to liven things up.

That's what I'm thinking. M5 would be just the thing for use as a reverb and "wildcard" effects unit. Probably works out cheaper than buy said effect new individually.

I used to hate reverb, particularly reverb pedals and people that use them all the time on everything they do. Then I got the Dano Spring King and now I love it. Such a great pedal.

Considering how much you like rotary speaker effects, chorus and whatever else I think you'd be much better off with an M9 and just leaving them off if you only want to use one.

There's so much on there that you'd love to have and they're really not that big or expensive.

I got some new pedals and a new amp recently. Oh, the guitar's new-to-me too. (Old Global SG copy.) But this isn't the thread for guitars.

Loving the Ampeg Jet II I got. Reverb and cleans.




New pedals are from Fuzzhugger.

I love those ampegs, just out of curiosity how loud can you get it without breaking up and how heavy is it? I'm looking for a smaller amp to match my Vox

so due to the fact that i play bass in Serf X i figured it was time i picked up a bass rig.

we had a spare head sitting in the jam space that i was told "you can borrow it indefinitely, but if you bring it back you gotta give me $100"
so i snaked it while we were tearing our jam space apart to turn it into a recording studio.
it's a Peavey Max 450 Bass Amplifier
we used it a few years ago when i was still playing bass in Zero Cool, and as a back up when Phil's Traynor head blew up.




so i was looking at getting a 2x10 cab to go with it, as its much louder then i can really rock in my apartment, but works for the Serf X jam space, as well as for gigs.
and i wandered into L&M and was chatting with some of the guys there, found a Traynor cab i liked 2x10 for $540 + tax..
then it was pointed out they had a 4x10 in the rentals that i could buy used.. for $525 tax in.. with a 90 day warranty/return/exchange.

so.. i ended up with an 8 Ohm 800 Watt Traynor 4x10 cab (TC410), it came with casters, that is really what sold me.




i've no idea where my camcorder is at the moment, so no demos (with that gibson i bought from pat.. i put an eb-0 pickup in it for now until the eb-4L pickup is rewound)
