Why the fuck do you people want shit to be small?

[Mongillo19]

I'm 40, actually.

ACTUALLY 30+ INCLUDES YOUR OLD AGE OF 40

ACTUALLY 30+ INCLUDES YOUR OLD AGE OF 40

I’m 30+ x 2

 

[sleewell]

we play very small stages, some times not even stages lol, people pile on our vocalist and get rowdy up front so a smaller footprint would be nice.

That would mean you could be anything from 62 to 78

And you're all still wondering why there are so few women in this scene?

Greta

Greta is a Gremlin spawned as part of the new batch in 1990. She was also the sole surviving Gremlin after all of her fellow Gremlins were killed. She appeared harmless, but her affinity for some men was quite troublesome. Greta was a bright green gremlin with a yellow underbelly, small yellow...

Nebcoromponcon, Chapter 3, Paragraph 2:

"Small guitar gear is made in the 7th fire pit of hell to indocrinate mortal souls to eternal pain while still living."

No headless guitars, no odd bodies...

I bet the large majority of people who want their floor modelers to be small are those who want them permanently installed on their desktops.

I was thinking about the Dimehead NAM thing. It’s not too big, it just has shit I don’t need. I wanna load a profile, I want a three band EQ like the plugin, I want input and output trims like the plugin and I want a few presets (preferably selectable via midi). I don’t even need it to load IRs. It’s not too much to ask, and it shouldn’t need to be bigger than an HX One. Thanks Father Christmas, amen.

Because the older I get the less I want to stand up and play. And ow lord if I ever have to bend to twist some knobs.
Nowadays I much prefer something that sits on my desk while not taking up too much desk space.

As someone here mentioned, HX Stomp to QC is the perfect size.

I'd just like to say your use of "Hear! Hear!" rather than "hurr durr Here, here durr" warms my pedantic heart. Thank you.

I am actually constantly wondering about these things. Plenty of native speakers seem to use "here, here" - which I never understood at all.
Similar with "it's a bit to late" or whatever.

More to the opposite. It's way too small. At least for a unit featuring 4 switches (see Drew's comment about peripheral viewing/stepping).

It's "hear, hear", actually, I think....

Lots of "harrumph" out there, too....

Yes, exactly. Someone is saying something great and you're calling people's attention to it, "Hear! Hear!" instead of "Listen! Listen!" "Here, here" doesn't make any sense in that context.

Not to be confused with „there, there“.

As you know, I agree with your size assessment for gigging. The only thing I would consider using a small 3 button device for would be as a backup since it would be easier to carry (something that would fit in the other throw bags I use for cables would be nice).

I can't stand 3 button for live gigs though. I got enough going on without trying to tap dance while I do it (no one wants to see me do ANY kind of dancing live I assure you :) ).

Yeah totally! I don't think I could live with just 3 buttons.

The other day I did a rehearsal and I had:
Lehle volume pedal
Cry baby wah pedal
Boss SD-1waza
Meris LVX
Meris MercuryX
Dual Recto foot controller.

Loads of switches!!

I think more in terms of weight than buttons.

I could easily do a gig with my Darkglass Microtubes 900 bass amp, which comes with just a one-button foot switch to turn on or off the distortion section.

For guitar as well, I could easily do with just a two button controller that switches between channels and turns the FX loop on or off.

For a modeller, the smallest I've gone is a Zoom 505II (can't figure out what preset I'm on), while the biggest I've used is a Fractal Audio FC-12 (too heavy, I'm resigned to the fact I will never gig with this).

I think the QC is the goldilocks size, where I have enough real estate to do everything I need to. I'd still only use about three or maybe four buttons though.

As I said, I used to get along with a 2 channel tube amp and an EQ pedal for both sound shape and boost for lead. 2 buttons :).

Now, I can't use anything less that what comes with the Kemper Foot controller.
