Guitar amp/FX volume issue

[Skub]

Very Bossy

I have an early 90s DS-1 but I've never really liked it so it's one of mine that's up for sale currently.

Boss = very tough as old boot!

I seem to recall most of the Boss are Keeley modded,certainly the TR2 for the volume drop. I don't think he does mods now,just makes pedals.

Yeah, I have a Keeley Top Boost but never really got on with that either. Might sell that too.

I should do a clearout too,I seldom use anything outside of plugins in Logic Pro X. I have two boards and allsorts all lying in the roofspace. I keep a swell pedal and the TR2 in the back of my amp for 'very' occasional use. But. I'm a lazy bastrid.

HB are a pretty good company though if you can find a power supply with the right specs with some good reviews.

There's obviously a lot of snobbery about an 'own brand' for equipment, and they used to just make cheap mic stands and shitty acoustics etc, but it seems they make pretty good stuff these days at ridiculous prices. Even their valve amps are supposed to be decent.

I've heard really good things about their amp cabs. I can't look at their site for too long though... I have enough stuff already

I've found from today's testing that when connected to the power supply they actually make a lot less noise, ie none. When using battery there always seems to be a bit. Mind you, at least it works reliably with batteries.

It seems odd though - surely any power supply is inherently more noisy? I probably don't know enough about these things ...

The decent (usually expensive) ones with isolated outputs etc are usually super quiet. Nothing's perfect of course,if you have 20 pedals on a board,chances are there'll be some noise/signal loss. All the stuff that bothers you at home gets lost in the racket of a band anyway.

Cool drummer's rug.

I was literally just watching a video of an interview with Robin Trower where he discusses his setup and guess what? He has an identical rug! How cool is that?

The shoes and socks - my eyes! - is this effing Liberace's bedroom or something?

He's 77 and a rock legend. Cut him some slack

I thought it was Slenver.

Just occurred to me that this thread is slightly unresolved. I mean, I doubt anyone cares, but here's what the new board ended up like.

Compact, simple, tidy
