Picked up a One Control Gecko MIDI controller. Not as cool as I was hoping but should do the trick for some simple MIDI switching.

Nice! There stuff looks great. I've been looking at potentially getting their Crocodile Tail loop switcher later in the year. I'd love to get my pedalboard, which is great, even smaller. Potentially thinking a two tier like the back row of my current one, but single pedal depth. H9 for all the Mod sounds. Got it drawn up, measured and should work perfectly. Just have to get 40 million Spotify streams to pay for the $1000 controller, ha!
I might pick your brain on the midi side of things sometime if that's ok Ben?

Pick away, but I'm no expert, just understand the raw basics!

You could have a look at the Boss ES-5 or 8. I run an ES-5 as a switcher and have one bank page set as midi control buttons for my H9 - buttons: 1 preset up, 2 present down, 3 on/off, 4 hotswitch, 5 tap tempo and mute button for tuner. Works well.

Still a bit ahead of me then haha! I've still never used any midi stuff at all.

Arrived on time. F'k me, Fastway. Wonders will never cease.

Have painted the door frame that's needed doing for a while, put some sealant in a crack that's needed filling for some time, put out / brought in the washing, and just broke my sugar-free thing with jam on toast. I now feel ready and able to waste away the afternoon idly noodlin'.

If you want me, I'm in the garage.

Here I am wondering whether any time in the future will I have a lunch break where I sit down and eat, uninterrupted, for more than 7.2 minutes.

sounds good, I've just had the boner cranked for the first time in quite awhile, my team of columbian ladies are here doing their bits around the house, they love to listen to rock music while they work I'm happy to oblige

You have children I take it? I'm lucky if I can finish a sentence without the kids asking for something.

Nah. It would just make you fat.
