Morning all, I was farting around with computer based effects last night, Mando + phaser + resonant filter is very nice.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 09:27 (nineteen years ago)

Even if I were a less established band, I wouldn't get out of bed for only 20 minutes. It's shitty enough to put on "less established bands" at 5 in the afternoon, don't want to penalise them any more.

Anyway, this is not the thread for this. It's all bringing back horrible Ladyfest tour memories of bands getting all diva-ish and refusing to go on during their previously agreed time slot because "someone from the NME is coming down!!!" and crap. And that makes it not fun.

Blah.

Effects, hurrah! Phaser and resonant filter sounds good. Worship ye the STEP DELAY, though. I was mucking around with analogue delay and stereo tremolo last night and oh the yumminess.

Oh, also I heard from my sisX0r today - where is a good hotel (which will put up with rock stars) in Clerkenwell? the Rookery?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:40 (nineteen years ago)

The Rookery or The Zetter. They should eat at St John and Medcalf.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

I was just suggesting a possible solution that's all. Based on someone's suggestion that some of the bands may not want to do 30 mins. Whatever.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

Sticking a tremolo between the the phaser and filter was pretty sweet too.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'd get into bed for 20 minutes though.

(I'll get me coat)

― Mark G, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, logistics makes me cranky. I'm sure none of the bands here are going to pull a G0$$1p.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh! A tale?

― Mark G, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

A very old and tedious and boring tale told already.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

OK.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

Bass love:

When we go guitar shopping, maybe we can do phaser shopping as well.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

I need to get a chorus - and a sampler delay (different texture from analogue delay) but I think I'm just going to get little Boss pedals.

Do you want to borrow my Smallstone, see how that is? I love MXR phasers, too.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

The Simulator was simulating an MXR Phaser 90 and that was a nice sound. I'd love to borrow some more of your stuff.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:09 (nineteen years ago)

MXR phase 90 is the DREAMBOAT of phaser pedals - if they weren't so expensive I'd probably have one of those instead of the Smallstone. But a Smallstone is more adjustable. Try out the Electric Mistress, too, but I've got to find a power supply for it.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

The Orange plus 1 big knob appeals to me. (although there is the multi patterned EVH edition too). There are some on eBay but I'm not going to be buying anything this month.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:22 (nineteen years ago)

does anyone want a haprsichord? I know someone who wants to get rid of one. The legs are a bit damaged apparently but otherwise its in full working order.

― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

I really do not want to say no to that, how big is it?

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

OK, I'm confused. The Early Years said they were playing "a rave in a car park" this Saturday but their MySpace is all f*cked up:

The Early Years

25 Mar 2007, 04:00
Hearn Street Car Park, Shoreditch, London,

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

Harpsichord?!?!??! God, yes! Oh we will have to fight over that, Ed.

Oh wait, the rave is expensive, never mind. £10 advance, I don't think so.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:27 (nineteen years ago)

there is one person in Oxford I know who might be interested but if he says no then Ed vs Kate FITE! will be on.

― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

I will be bumbling around that neck of the woods about that time, having just seen roll deep, I may go.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

We can have joint custardy of a harpsichord, I would need to clear out some stuff to fit it in, probabkly under my bed

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

I have far more space for it - I could fit it in my living room by the chimneypiece that the recently vacated LEAD left room for.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:32 (nineteen years ago)

TBH you would probably be better able to play it straight off.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

However you must gig with it with a candlestick, liberace style.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:34 (nineteen years ago)

An excuse to use The Ladies!!! (my art nouveau candlesticks) Hurrah! However, gigging with a harpsichord would be problematic. Trust me, I've lugged a Vox Continental all around England twice. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

I think RA will be into the Rookery in a big way

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

Uhhh... yeah. So long as they let him smoke cigars in his room. That's on the banks of the River Fleet, isn't it? the Iguana wouldn't like it so much as there aren't enough old ladies to shock.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

OK Mis KStC, you have now got me into gear freakery, I purchased an eSub to SoS and I want one of:

MWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

The iguana can shock market porters at 5 in the morning.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, I cannot believe that my mother has run out of Roibos tea already! She only took about FOUR crates home with her on the plane. So I have to buy some and mail them to her. Sigh.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Surely they must sell it in the US?

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

They don't! It comes from South Africa therefore you can only get it in Canada.

Or they sell it vastly overpriced in health food shops with stupid flavours (vanilla?) added.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm? I get Roibos at Avanti every so often -- no more expensive than the other teas there.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

My mum lives in rural Vermont, not LA.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, FUCK LENT, I want me some coffee!

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

Drift over to IMM

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

My mum lives in rural Vermont, not LA.

Granted, but LA isn't Canada either. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

Canada is a lot closer to Vermont than LA! My mum actually goes to Canada occasionally - especially if she's working in Burlington.

I have me some coffee. Plus, I ran into my boss in the loo, and we had a right snarkfest about the idiots who commissioned the report I've just done.

I'm slightly worried because we've just had to kind of punch a hole in the security of one of the dbs we use in order to get everyone access to this report - but my boss and the head of IT are convinced that everyone in this company are such flaming idiots that they wouldn't actually know how to use it, even if they were aware of its existence. Though that said, I'm worried about their breaking things through SHEER IDIOCY.

Sometimes, in your professional capacity you come over as Alice in Dilbert, mind you everyone in any kind of tech job has dilbert moments.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

Which one is Alice in Dilbert? I don't know it well enough to know the characters' names.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

I 'wrote' a Dilbert column, you know. There! There's a "only ILXor to have" surely?

― Mark G, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

The only woman with an name, and therefore a techy.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

All techies are frustrated by their users. It is the way of thing - I mean, look at the ILX technical threads - the coders make this beautiful fast efficient machine of a new database, and everyone goes WAH, WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE DOUBLE DASHES BEFORE THE NAMES, WAAAAHHHH!! which is how I often feel in my job.

I'd love to have a no email Friday, because it would mean no one bugging me and I could spend ALL my day on ILX.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

I am liking Grails.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:27 (nineteen years ago)

I am liking coffee. How does it make everything better so quickly?
