ooh, this looks good. I remember the old weirdly shaped one from long ago
I reckon these sound ace.
I bought one upon your recommendation :D
Years ago now, the model that came after the toilet styled one
That’s the correct choice. The toilet style ones are stupid

Duct tape, dear boy, duct tape. Or remove the knob altogether and mark the shaft.
The second thing is what I’ve been doing.
Of course. You're an intelligent man. I've always said this. :D
Not intelligent enough to make a hotcake work for me…

Take it off, replace it with a smaller knob?
Yep- that’s a good fix

Re: Show us your pedalboard

IMG_2117.jpeg I keep coming back to this combo for my gigging board. The Silverpistol fuzz and boost are perfect, and the cheap xvive delay does the job nicely for the odd bit of slap echo (only complaint is that the time knob is super easy to bump off the optimum setting so I have to reset it ever...

Re: Cable recommendations

Thanks folks. My EB cables have been OK, but the braided outer on one of them melted in a few places at an outdoor gig. I had a couple of EWI cables from Music Planet for a while that were fine- but one of them failed completely last night. The jack housing is pretty rubbish- the jack itself wiggles...

Cable recommendations

This is an old and boring subject, but what are the good cable options these days? I used to buy Freedom and Lava cables from Ryan, but the virtually all the cables I’ve bought since have been disappointingly flimsy.

What are good, solid options these days, that aren’t super expensive?

I had a Bandmaster for a while (transitional model- BF circuit with SF panel). It was surprisingly brash in the midrange- especially upper mids.

I have an old pickguard that you can have if shipping JB’s is a pain.

Re: Synth Chat

Interesting, the S-1 is 3.5mm but I ended up buying a Type A 3.5mm to 5 pin din cable for that, everything else I have so far is 5 pin din thankfully... Yeah, I made a few minijack to DIN cables so I didn’t have to have an adapterfest It wouldn't kill the manufacturers to just include a mini to 5 p...
