    A couple of questions for pedal BOARD builders

    It's only 7mm ply so it's not that heavy, and it's gone through 4 tours without a problem so at least you know your gear is protected. But maybe some sort of ABS case is what you're looking for.

    A couple of questions for pedal BOARD builders

    A custom flightcase is exactly what you want, and they're a lot easier to make than you think. Here are step-by-step instructions on the case I built for my pedals: http://www.instructables.com/id/Flightcase-pedalboard-for-a-multifx-guitar-process/

    Anyone left-handed also learnt to play right-handed?

    If you did learn to play right handed, it would probably be amazing for your playing, as both hands would be equally talented and much more in sync.

    gt-10b vs pod x3 live

    That's exactly how I run my setup. Setting up all my amps on the pedal also means I just take an XLR from the pedal straight to the front of house system. I use FX Floorboard, which is an amazing bit of free software, made by a guy on the Boss GT forums. Link Removed And yep, they both work...

    gt-10b vs pod x3 live

    The 10 definitely has better amps than the 6. I have got some great guitar tones out of it as well. The X3 is definitely easier to use, you could give it to anyone, and they'd be dialling up amazing tones in minutes. It is also mind-blowing on guitar, like aural sex. The 10 is much simpler...

    gt-10b vs pod x3 live

    It's 40 seconds, and while that's nowhere near as good as a dedicated looper, you get it for free and it's better than no looper at all like on the X3. Plus as I mentioned, it makes setting up your tones really easy. I couldn't comment on the guitar version of the pedal, but for bass, the...

    gt-10b vs pod x3 live

    I have owned all three. The 6B was awesome, no doubt about it, but if you've got the lust for the bigger and better then hell yeah, it's time to upgrade. POD X3 Pros - Great amp sounds, no doubt about it. - Much better guitar amp sounds than the guitar amps included on the 10B. Not...

    I just run virtualbox on my Ubuntu machine, and then run FXFloorboard from there. Works like a dream.

    so why do YOU play bass?

    I love rhythm, and I love being able to change the emotion of an entire crowd with a few right notes at the right place. Bass controls the tone of the whole song. :D

    To Thumb Or Not To Thumb

    It is "kind of" working, but damn that looks pretty stupid and uncomfortable.

    bass cables!!!

    This thread has been very interesting indeed! However there is only one point that needs to be stated about audio cables: Unless you have done a fully blind A/B then you have absolutely no ground to claim $1000 cables are better than $50 cables. The human mind is incredibly good at fooling...

    Amp Modelers; any suggestions?

    I have both the POD X3 Live and the Boss GT-10B. Both are incredible, the amp sounds are flawless. I'd recommend the POD for ease of use and the fact it has more amp models, but I'd recommend the GT for its insane amount of configurability. I much much prefer the GT, it's also a lot more...

    Calling out computer geeks, help?

    Sounds like your sndvol32.exe got deleted for some reason. From your screenshot it looks like you have Vista, so I uploaded the file from my Vista machine for you. Remove the .mp3 extension and save it in your c:\windows\system32 directory. That should fix the problem.
