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.

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:

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?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

I submit yesterday's band #2 pedal board for your persual, Kate.

(Tele and Jazzy) + Boss compressor/sustainer + Behringer Ultra Phase + Danelectro TunaMelt + Digitech Bad Monkey Tube Overdrive + Boss Blues Driver. Delay on a separate footswitch to the amp.

Nothing particularly fancy there, but all sounded surprisingly good. The Ultra-Phase belongs to my son - it's surprisingly good for a cheapie! The Bad Monkey is astounding - it's one of those pedals that you try at 'playing-at-home' volumes and it apparently doesn't do much at all. Use it at high vol and it's amazing. Fantastic for light crunch for the Tele (Keef Richards style) and the Jazzy, and great at pushing the Blues Driver for fuzzy solos. I left off my OS-2, which I normally use for feedback and tinny 'bee-in-a-jar' distortion, because I don't use it much and I can get feedback using the compressor and the two overdrive pedals.

OMG MY FUTURE IS BEING DECIDED AS I TYPE

― emsk, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

Are you talking about the Budget or something at the Lovely Job?

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Fingers crossed.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

They sell Roibos in our canteen! I drink it most days.

― Grandpont Genie, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! MY FUTURE IS GO!

― emsk, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah! Excellent! Congrats to Emsk!

(What is your future?)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:41 (nineteen years ago)

(My mum is trying to argue maths with me, telling me that she took 3 boxes of 60 bags each, and drinks one tea a day, and this should last her 3 months. UM, no! You ain't gonna get that past a mathematician.)

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

hurrah, hurrah hurrah, want a celebratory drink this eve?

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

yay! my job is one for 6mths + handover period, april-oct + possibly more...

― emsk, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

You have 6 months to make yourself indispensable.

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

i have been working on that for 4 months already!

― emsk, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

That is awesome, Emsk! Calls for celebratory drinks, definitely. You are obviously already indispensible.

― Masonic Boom, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

Kate,

This would be way cheaper than sending from the UK.
