There shouldn't be any problems as long your extension is properly wired.

You should never overload the socket or the cable, but a 40W amp and a pedal board wouldn't be anywhere nearing that.

Martin beat me to it!

No restriction on effects. Going back in the mists of time, the original premise was to learn what you could achieve with a single instrument and hopefully learn a bit more about it. Effects would be for production/polishing.

Ah, let's not get tool rule bound, this is supposed to fun after all.

The percussion thing was Dave B's idea when he used to do it because he didn't like synth percussion. If I could change the rules now, I'd make it _everything_ in one synth

Usual rules - pick one synth, analogue, digital or software, construct a piece of music using only that synth, drums from a separate instrument are allowed. If we set a d...

I don't even consider backing tracks cheating if you're open about what you're doing. I always used to arrange mine such that the live parts would be a challenge (although to be fair, my keyboard skills mean that Three Blind Mice is a challenge )

That one I absolutely detest. If I hear it start I immediately switch off!
