Title: Modern pedal technology
Post by: Pilgrim on May 25, 2016, 11:36:53 AM

I saw this on TB and thought quite amusing. Thought I'd share. There must be a LOT of these in use today....

This was a real limited edition boost pedal.

this kind of thing does the rounds regularly on crewspace and other roadie FB groups, my personal favourite was the DJ mixer with the words, Good DJ next to the green lights and Shit DJ next to the red light on the overload display

That reminds me of the time a much younger and more naive me was running sound for this clandestine indie show, and the openning DJ was chewing me out for how horrible and distorted everything was.  This went on for half an hour.  Turned everything down and then went to go check what the DJ had going on cause I had already pulled my hair out checking everything else and ruled it out (aside from amp failure)....took one look at the DJ mixer and just got so mad.   Everything. Maxed. Out.  All EQs, all channel faders and the master.  Meter was pegged the whole time (0 dynamic range).  I managed to contain myself by counting to 20 as I turned everything down to nominal levels.  The conversation that followed was mind-blowing.

I can see it, don't know what the problem is. Here's one from another source.
