Pedalboards

I'm not offended, it's fine. Everbody has different viewpoints dependant on what donomination they are, and what their background is.

In this day, and age, yes St Paul is correct, all you need to do to honour God is pray, belive, and worship.

However everybody prays in different ways, personally I prefer not to pray out loud, and if you think about the three points of prayer (Thankyou, Sorry, and Please) then worship is a big part of that, and then there are a million ways people worship. I've encountered singing, dancing, praying, clapping, and watercolour painting, among others.

I believe St Paul was quite clear that all you need to honor god is to believe and pray and that all you need to make a congregation is a pair of devout Christians

Pretty much sums up most basic Christian beliefs today.

But then you need to make sure you don't go over the top. Down South there's a church a friend of mine went to once, called Christchurch Bristol, and as much as they put their heart, and soul into worship, having a full set pf brass, strings, and all sorts, as well as the ususal Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drums, is a bit mad Ted. If you're spending more time orchestrating, and working on the music than the worship you need to rethink what's going on.

Understandable. Around our parts, most Christian musicians are either rockstars with no sense of worship, people who do worship but spend no time practising, and people who do both and enjoy playing well and still worship.

our area has a lot of rockstars... no idea why. That's what i've been hearing a lot.

watercolour painting

Apparently this is actually a thing. The more you know, eh?

I don't follow any religion to tell you the truth but I do respect those who follow religion and though I don't follow a religion I do believe in a creator in some way, I don't feel that we just came out of a few molecules by chance, I think its much more complex than that. I do read the bible, well various religious books and texts actually, I want to make sense of all this, I believe in Evolution but I don't believe thats how any of this got here. It just seems highly unlikely. It is actually funny as I'm a very science orientated guy got A's in science and did triple science at school, so 3 GCSEs. I want to become a doctor eventually or maybe even something in Biotechnology. But yea, I don't know, life is a complex thing, far more complex than humans could ever understand in our life time, evolution is real, we know that and can prove that but we may never know how we got here and for all we know there is life somewhere out there, I hope that we are alive long enough to find out too

This guy pisses me off. He knows so much, and can impart so much gear knowledge, but he often wastes it on flaming others. We get it, your running gags on stupid bassists and drummers was funny, but it gets old. We get it, you hate Christians because the few you've met haven't been very nice. We get it, some people can wear their arse as a hat, but seriously, I like you better when you get serious and tell us something worthwhile. I especially liked his series on getting your band ready for a love show, even if he ripped a few bands, but it made sense.

people who 'know so much' typically have great research skills and excellent memories ... i.e. they are pretty bright... most people are not so bright, they do and say foolish things, ask for advice they plan to disregard, and generally misunderstand everything while pigheadedly insisting they are constantly right even in matters that have no right or wrong answers... putting up with them can make some relatively intelligent people who one would expect to be extremely tolerant and open-minded VERY cranky after 20 or 30 years and when those people find a forum to vent their spleen? they are going to do so to avoid going crazy

so back to pedalboards, what about a little pedaltain jr with your DS1, small clone, maybe a reverb or delay and maybe a light, transparent OD to start... maybe try powering it daisy chained off your tuner if possible....

or maybe dump the small clone and invest in a fancy, modern multi effects unit to cover modulation and time based effects like an eventide H9

eventide H9

$699

I just felt and heard my wallet cry out in agony.

it doesn't have to be an H9 max... and used the regular H9 and H9 core are only like 250 to 300 in US dollars... for all the crap it can do and the ability to store tons of presets it feels like a bargain... the proprietary Eventide AD and DA converters alone make it worth more than other multis

used the regular H9 and H9 core are only like 250 to 300 in US dollars...

My wallet is sobbing, it's never heard of a $300 pedal. I personally have, but that little thing just seems so unlikely. How do you even change presets? There's no stomp on it!

there's a preset select/tap switch opposite the bypass switch

but I was thinking of running it in the loop of my HC30 and getting a cheap midi board to access presets...

I keep hedging between buying the H9 regular or something else like a nova system

AHHHH! necropost, but thanks for confirming everyone's love o the pedaltrain.
