The way I learned was a bit slow and methodical, but really clicked, and helped me learn the cycle of 4ths/5ths too, I forget where I picked it up though: 1. Write/print the notes from the circle of 4ths out (C, F, Bb, Eb, etc.) 2. Set a metronome at some super slow speed (like 40-60 BPM) 3. Go...

I've got a couple, and no complaints at all. Some things which have stopped me from ordering from some other respected builders though: 1. Too much choice. I'd rather have a solid foundation with a bit of customisation, and not have to choose between 6 different bridge configurations, 12 types...

Very nice! A bit similar to the board I'm running at the moment (I'm using a Capo, More, Lusithand comp, and HX Stomp). I'm curious though - what order is you signal chain on that board? I'm forever swapping things round to try out the More/compressor in different places, etc., so interested to...

I have similar issues, but changed my mindset to treat everything as temporary, rather than seeing excess basses as a burden. E.g. rather than stressing about buying a bass then selling it for say a $100 loss, I see it as spending $100 to rent a bass, try it out for unlimited time, to learn...

Makes sense to me, I think it would have been received quite differently if the blurb was: "For this batch, owing to huge demand (and the practice of some people immediately reselling my pedals), I've taken the difficult decision to increase the price to $550. While I appreciate that this is a...

I think I'd just prefer a waiting list to be honest - I've missed out on all the 3leaf drops and 2/3 of the Broughton drops I was after. It gets a bit tiring keeping up with dates/times of drops and waking up crazy early (since I'm not US-based) only to be disappointed. But...it is what it is...

When I was ordering my Arkham Oracle (a few weeks ago), I asked Micah about a new version, and whether I'd be better off holding out for that. He said it was in the early prototype stages, no timeline or release plans for it yet.

Really appreciate the review. I've been on the fence about getting one of these for headphone practice at home, but you might just have sold me on it :)

BC1 Bass Compressor | Master Comp. Monster Tone. Looks pretty serious (and quite a big form factor), but might be interesting. It's only open for pre-orders at the moment, so guessing it'll be a while before we see any sound demos/reviews.

She's an incredible musician, I remember reading her bio: She was immediately immersed in the music world by her parents, who enrolled her in music lessons at age 2. She found great ease in playing music, studying classical music and jazz. These two styles allowed her to develop strong...

I came to exactly the same conclusion. I did some tests side by side with an OC-2, OC-5, MXR VBO, and HX Stomp's boctaver. I tried a couple of basses (active/passive, p/j), and a few different pedal setups (e.g. compressor on/off before octaver). Biggest difference was in feel, the OC-2...

Apologies if it's been answered already, but is there any info on the cab sim in Venus X? E.g. is it analog/digital, what cab it's based on, etc.? I don't know much about cab sims and the like (I just use the ones in my HX Stomp), just trying to figure out a rough idea of what it might sound...

I honestly don't see how it's possible to buy without a bot or Apple pay. Both drops sold out in 30s, and I can't type my details, and confirm the text code that PayPal sends me in that time (I don't want to disable that, it's saved me from scammers before). I guess I can ask a friend with...

Missed one also. I wish it held it for you for a few mins when it was added to the basket. I literally can't type my address fast enough for them not to be sold out before I finish (plus I've got paypal configured to require me to enter a code phone my phone before payment for security, so...

Not to defend overuse of mobile phones while out, but I think it's worth bearing a few things in mind. In terms of people being addicted to them, it's a bit unfair to put so much blame on individuals for this. Big internet companies spend billions on maximising the amount of time spend using...
