Re: Rack screws for 19" rack

Whereabouts in the UK are you?

I have a bag of cage nuts, some bolts & some plastic washers lying around here somewhere (M6 I think) - which are redundant 'cos I no longer have any racks to fit them in.

I'm in Nottingham

Re: ART DTI Box not as roadworthy as I'd like...

I have a DTI you could borrow if you like? (I'm in Nottingham).

It's currently sitting on the aux input to our hifi, think it's fully working (and wobble-free) - but I'll check it thoroughly if you want to borrow.

Re: What Is Your Favourite Looper?

I'm increasingly drawn to buying myself a Looper, having watched the YouTube videos about the seemingly fabulous Digitech TRIO+ . It looks a superb device for helping me get ideas going from scratch, when I have a melody line or guitar riff in gestation period. Love to know what Looper members use ...

Re: New monitors time: front or rear port?

I have Adam T5V in a very similar layout to what you describe - on isopads, with the rear ports pointed towards heavy curtains about 18-20" away either side of a window. I don't hear any particular problems myself (but I am old!), and my other comparison (in a different room) is a pair of Spendor ...

Re: Onboard preamp for K&K

The former I reckon, cheers for that. How well does it do what it says it does? Works & sounds fine to me, nothing to make me think there's a problem - other acoustic guitars I have to compare are a 1960's Yamaha FG180 with a Fishman Rare Earth pickup, & a 2016 Taylor K24CE with Taylor's ES2 system ...

Don't know if this will be useful info, or just more background noise :) I have Martin a LX1 to which I wanted to fit a pickup & preamp of some sort.

Re: MM Electronics 16 x 4 rare (and old) mixer

No, there were some other versions... I bought a 4 output group version brand new, pretty sure it was an 8:4 but might have been 12:4. Don't recall any tape returns back into channels, but it did have limiter on each of the 4 outputs (= the reason I bought it). Unfortunately the limiters were either ...

The PCB says "B-CONTROL SERIES" ...so I'm wondering if your BCF2000 has the same supply board inside it?

If so, and the BCF works, maybe try swapping them?

...or, as in my case, you use a single tap-tempo pedal (micro.clock) to update 2 (or more) pedals to the same tempo at the same time. I've not explored its MIDI functions, but the jack outs on the micro.clock only send around 6 or 7 pulses and then stop. If the receiving pedals drift over time a ...
