I found Fearful plans on the Speaker Hardware website, where you can purchase a DIY build kit if you're interested. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I built a Jack 10 and a Fearful 12/6 some years ago. The Fearful was a more straightforward build. It's been a long time since I put them head...

There's something different about John but I can't quite put my fingers on it. I'm listening to the Utopia live stuff from 2019. Unreal. Kasim and, I think, Willy. It needs some EQ, but, wow!

Happy to hear those cabs are still going strong!

This may be a bonus for those using Linux, too.

Well, perhaps "standard" is not the right word- maybe "relatively common" or "known". Anyway, it was the thing where the drivers in your cab would be moving slowly even though there was no signal being sent to them. I can't recall if there was one more issue that was fairly common, too. (with...

I sent an inquiry to Carvin this morning regarding my BX1500 which suffers from the "standard" issues - more than just the corroded ribbon cables. I was hoping for a miracle like, "Our former service guy, Dan, is now fixing those. Give him a call." No such luck. This might be old news to...

You don't need the software editor at all but it's a lot easier to work with than the hardware interface. (I don't think it actually gives you any more options.) Also, I noticed that I never up-dated my experience with trying to clean my XLR outputs. I gave them a good working over with...

You CAN do all the stuff you're hoping to but it takes some time to figure it all out. Well, it did for me... I was hoping you had the Gumboard running because I haven't done any patch work without it for years so it will be pretty hard for me to give you any guidance. :confused: I had a...

Daft pillock? I like that one... The GT is a complex unit and, as I recall, the manual is pretty useless so don't feel bad. Are you using Gumtown's floorboard software (highly recommended) or trying to program on the unit itself? And, when you use the term "saving", are you writing the patch...

Hmm..... Well that's a head scratcher. Anyway, good to know it does work.

FWIW, I was unable to get the Windows 10 driver to work. According to the Roland/Boss site, it was supposed to download automatically when I hooked up my GT to the computer. Didn't happen for me. (Irrelevant for me now as I went back to Win 7.)

Ouch! I'm in a similar boat. Didn't have any extra cash until recently and have been thinking about sending my BX1500 for repair. Most disappointing.

This is long overdue...... I FINALLY got around to applying some contact cleaner to the XLR outputs in an attempt to address the intermittent BAD hiss that those ouputs produce (as reported by other users, too). I sprayed some stuff in there and then worked a cable on and off several times and...

AND... I must give other accolades. SWEET recording of well played drums. I'm envious.

Where's the first gig?
