yes pc and mac, yes two pc's and two different mac pro laptops. and three different usb cables etc. I also made sure RS staff tested properly too.
and yes turning off and back on again just made Moss a bit antsy
The annoying thing is, they have by far the best interface of any multi I've ever used. So fucking easy!!!
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I think I have tentatively decided on a GT-1, can't afford to step up to a GT-1000 just yet. Amp wise, not 100% sure yet but really just want a nice clean platform that I can plug into.

If NZRS has a Black Friday sale then I could well be tempted to buy both and who knows, I might even have a few coins left over to buy some nice craft beer to celebrate my wee foray into the black hole that we know as 'digital' 8)

I'd say that the Headrush FRFR speaker is cheap enough to go the whole digital, but then with BG's reliability issues with the pedal, you'd be worried about the speaker as well!

If that particular amp is your favourite profile then Nothing Else Matters.
either no one picked up on this or it was shit ... not sure really :rofl:

Does the DJW not have masses of headroom?

Yep, but just feeling like riding the wind of change.

Is it wind or wings? :crazy:

It's just a rebranded Alto with a few mods, cheap and cheerful, but reliable :)

Dave said that they’re doing something, just wasn’t sure what.
