Drew's been lookin' in the mirror again.

If ewe looked in my mirror, you'd want a drink too. 

My mirror must really be a one way mirror. Some gnarly dude is always looking at me.

Got some amp sim testing yesterday, and so far S-Gear is clearly in front.
Will demo some IKM amps today.
It was hard demoing a couple of them, as they bypassed the amp often enough during tweaking to not get a feel of it.

S-Gear is my favorite!!! I compared the real amps to S-gear and wow. S-Gear is way less trouble and gets it right

This is my experience as well

Free lifetime updates with S-Gear.

Something to put on my X-mas wishing list, though
Better be nais from now on

Dang it - I just discovered this and I think I neeeeeeeeeed it:

It's basically an expression pedal, but wait there's more:
It has three separate expression outputs that can be set with DIP switches to accommodate whatever TRS/TS plug arrangement a given device needs.
 
But wait, there's more:
They can also each be set to send a 0-5 volt CV signal for stuff with CV inputs. 
 
But wait, there's more:
You can set the range, response and direction for each of the three, or disable that output altogether.
 
But wait, there's more:
Each output can instead send an LFO signal, with the pedal position controlling speed or depth of the LFO sent.
 
But wait, there's more:
It also has MIDI (and class compliant USB MIDI), and it can also send 3 separate additional expression/LFO signals via MIDI.
 
But wait, there's more:
It has a 7th additional output for controlling other Source Audio pedals.
 
But wait, there's more:
128 user presets, with all 7 output configurations saved for each.
 
 
This has my name written all over it.

Yes, Indeed...

How are things over in Britain?
Has winter arrived yet?
It did today, where I live
 

Sunny and blue skies in Scotland, but bitter cold North wind. I think it's got cold earlier this year. I'd certainly prefer a dry, cold Winter to the usual wind and rain though...

Been playing around with some screen capture & video software today, was going to post this over at Songs but thought I'd just plonk it here for you chaps. Nice and relaxing for a Sunday.
 

 
It's a tune I did with Larry Hansen waaaay back in 2009, and I nicked the animation off YouTube

We often get the cold, windy and wet winters here as well
Don't like'em either

Yes, been a bit nips today...
 
I had to work outside for an hour or so.
 
Me and the eldest took my VW Scirocco to a track day at Oulton Park on Wednesday. It was a great day out, thrashing the bollocks out of my motor. Bit of a risk but, WTF!
 
At one point, my lad brought it back in and smoke was pouring out of the front offside wheel due to the brake pads and disks being too hot. We lifted the bonnet and the engine was steaming hot too... Must have really been going for it during that session. When we come to start it again, half an hour later, it just wouldn't go. Had to wait another 15 minutes or so and eventually got it running again. It appeared that our mistake was stopping the engine as soon as he parked up... Should have left it running just to keep the radiator circuit open. The petrol in the fuel lines up to the injectors simply evaporated and was why it wouldn't start.
 
Somehow we managed to keep it on track... Just... And we made it home all intact.
 
Then on Thursday I could here a bit of a strange knocking coming from the front of the car. Couldn't weigh it up... Friday, the same, if not slightly worse. Same again on Saturday... Didn't have to go far... Just across town.
 
So, today, while it was bright (but nips) I removed the front wheels, had a poke around... checked any linkages and drive shafts and everything seemed okay, to the best of my knowledge (I know less about cars than I do about music).
 
Put the wheels back on and took it out for another drive. My lad was at his younger brothers, doing some work on one of his bangers, so I was going to as him, again, for his opinion.
 
No noise now, other than the normal creaks and groans and road noise... Weird, I thought... And then realisation dawned. At least I think it did...
 
I had had the wheels off... Put them back... Wheel bolts nice and tight... "That's it," I thought... a bloody wheel must have been coming lose, maybe because of the extreme stress and heat of the track day. When I removed the front offside wheel I thought it was a bit easier than I thought to remove them bolts, but I thought it was because I had used a three foot long piece of pipe over the wheel wrench. So, if they were a bit loose, I didn't notice, so, the theory stands, for the moment at least...
 
TL;DR Take your car to a track and rag the arse off it, it's effing awesome!

Wot?

Half of the FSF army is MIA?

After today 4 more twerk days and the off until the 27th.
 
This Saturday night we see The Fab Faux. They're doing Sgt. Pepper for the first half and then an assorted array in the second half. In that array they typically do a rollicking While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Very nice mate, on all counts. Will you be on this side of town or doing a vacay?

Speaking of which, did little Opie Ronnie make it over this weekend?
 
 

Staying close to this side of town. Of course I may go the other side of town if I need supplies for the HunnyDew list.

Nope. He had some medical issues (sux getting old). I can't do it this weekend. Maybe the following. That will ghive Daryk time to get home and diddle with his organ (or Pie Annie).

Hope he feels better.
On the plus side, it's quite liberating to be NagBap free.......
