    New Amp Day -- Boss Katana 100 Gen 3

    I have the 1st Gen and it's working BUT it's with an Android tablet. The iOS version is not working with USB (I have a usb-c iPhone 15), only bluetooth. Wait before spending money on an adaptor for your iPhone.

    Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

    M-Wave midi bluetooth controller. I just built an headphones/practice rig based on Macbook and free Audio Unit plugins. This controller is doing a very good job for $40. Without thinking too much, I programmed clean/crunch/lead patches (switches 1-3 short press) + solo for each one (switch 1-3...

    Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

    My newest pedalboard. No wires (bluetooth), no power supply (battery powered) and ... no board (not needed). Switches can send midi PC, CC and notes on short/long press, so it's really an 8-switch controller. Not in the picture but I sometime connect an expression pedal for wah.

    Solderless is such a nice thing

    I have a set of EMG Fat 55 in my Ibanez SZ520 (a PRS copy). I really like them but I find the bridge pickups a little too vintage for my taste. I ordered the EMG Super 77 and received it yesterday. Using EMG solderless connectors, it took me less than 5 minutes to replace the pickup and test...

    Looking Audio Unit standalone player with midi PC/CC controls

    Ok, I figured it out using Element. So I only need one Graph which is composed of all the plugins I want to used. You can control using Global midi programs or have midi programs for each plugins, using channel and program change number. The Midi Set List plugin is used just in case my midi...

    Looking Audio Unit standalone player with midi PC/CC controls

    I'm having real fun with the NaLex Crunchman Audio Unit plugin. I use it in Garageband with Pulse IR loader. I'm looking for a simple standalone AU plugins player that I can control with my midi foot pedal (connected to my Axe IO One), like calling a preset on a multi effects. Element...

    Pedals on bass pedalboard?

    I'm also in the HX Effects camp. I have a patch with the BDDI model and an Ampeg Classic preamp in the fx loop where I can toggle between one or the other. Timmy (2x), compressor, octaver and eq on demand.

    I think I figured out my live rig

    Wouah !!!! We are leaving on 2 different planets, I even think your pedalboard will be bigger than my entire rig (Temple Audio Solo 18): But your are a PRO and deserve it

    No place to put a battery?

    I'm using Lithium-ion 9v rechargeable batteries with this adapter now instead of opening the pedal to put a battery in:

    Cordoba Stage classical guitar

    I tried a Cordoba Stage "Fusion" model (48mm nut, 16" radius neck and 14 frets to the body) and a Traditional model (52mm nut, flat fingerboard and 12 frets to the body) this morning, both unplugged. I know nothing about classical guitars and I want to trade an electric or a bass for one of...

    Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

    The spot is filled :) Like it for some phaser sound (Phase 90 script) but I like it also to simulate a 12-string (Phase 45 block). I might switch the tuner and the phaser pedals for an HX One later. But I really dig the simplicity of this setup.
