  1. @tubularcorporation that makes perfect sense, I might try that actually. Cheers
  2. The switch on the Black fly is a momentary kill switch - press to cut the sound. It is a noisy switch which in itself is a problem since the unit is basically a conductive box. You can tap it, drum on it etc. You get feedback through the springs same way you would with a guitar near an amp. So swapping this out for a silent switch would be nice.
  3. Hah this makes sense now. The inbuilt Black fly switch is loud. I will do this, thanks for the inspiration. Oh wait, the mod is for the freeze. I'm confused. Oh well.
  4. Goodbye is an OK album but very shoegazey - lots of guitar. Stars / Shine / Goodbye are good tracks. Those first 2 albums are stone cold classics though. Also keen to hear the remasters.
  5. I have been making drones. It is fun and productive. From right to left: Modified Electro Faustus Blackfly with plates and wire for creating sounds Valeton Distortion for amplification and crunch Electro Harmonix Freeze for holding specific sounds to add a drone layer Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat for feedback / looping / EQ /. granulation DOD Stereo Flanger to give me stereo output and control
  6. My good pal Ags released an album of covers of traditional cowboy songs. Great stuff
  7. Will post here whenever I upload gear. Sold a few things on here already, got my Volca Kick currently there for grabs. Whilst I really like it, I need to clear out stuff for cash as moving next year. https://reverb.com/uk/shop/andrews-gear-garage-508
  8. Ahh sorry I only just saw this. Yeah I was purposefully trying to get everything in synch, which I managed to do with the Hosa Knucklebone, so very useful. In the photo you have: Kick going into the Neutron with a generative "Krell" patch feeding into the Boss Super Octave then the Pladask Eletrisk Fabrikat (algorithmic granuliser) Bottom left chain is a weird spring machine I made, with a pickup attached to a piece of slate that I can scrape with a nail. Into a distortion, fuzz and a obne black fountain delay pedal chain. Sounds hideous right? Can make some pretty wicked drones with this. Right of the mixer is a clarinot clone pedal (lo-fi loop / scrapes / weird percussion) going into the Moody Sounds baby box which is a weird delay / feedback / noise / dunno unit that I love / loathe in equal measures. Fairly unpredictable and HOT but a fun hands on box of tricks to play with. Finally, top left box is a Blackstar Tube Reverb - nice warm reverb sounds. I have this going through the aux loop of the mixer Basically, a big fucking noise. Sometimes it sounds great, sometimes its all too chaotic but I have a good time trying to keep control of it all.
  9. Thanks for the new morning alarm clock ring tone!
  10. Friday night is always a bugger for me to get into London, but travelling over to Amsterdam the Saturday before looks like a winner!
  11. Give the fans what they want
  12. Green's have stood down from my constituency, and i'm not voting Lib Dem. Choice's choices
  13. Dug up this old thread as it seemed apt to my current situation. Been suffering with depression and such over the past few years, have sought help and am making changes to my lifestyle as well as my work... so I've handed my notice in and looking to move in 2020. New job, new location, new whatever comes my way. Not sure if totally a midlife crisis but seems that way - although I appear to be digging my way out of the mire. Currently looking at buying some woodland where I can build a log cabin, set up some solar panels and use it as a recording studio / makeshift home. Hahahahaaaaa
  14. I thought it was €1500, which is £1300 ish... Not that this makes it any more accessible for me. I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket
  15. I got 7/10 on this Nirvana quiz, and I wouldn't even call myself a massive fan. The Unplugged was fairly awesome though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/bring-the-noise/nirvana-unplugged-in-new-york-25-quiz/z7d3scw
  16. the frame around the user avatars / names is now white. I use the after dark theme - so its kinda killing the vibe tbqh Edit: Now its gone meta ?
  17. The SOMA Pulsar-23, as patched by Richard Devine. Looking damn sexy. Not sure how to imbed insta-G videos https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yR2gbHPJm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
  18. Weirdly, this almost came true. Friends Movie: The Reunion. Oh, wait...
  19. Enjoyable listen, glad I went for just the .wavs though and didn't shell out for the double vinylz
  20. Woah, yes. Saw him DJ a couple of years back in a now closed basement club in Oxford, it completely floored me.
