Dillon, all your pics say "content not viewable in your region", probably Imgur. Can you repost as attachments?

Re: Dual Expression Pedal

The Mooer is smaller but not an ordinary passive expression pedal, apparently.
The EXP LINE does require power to operate as it doesn’t use a traditional potentiometer but instead it uses a digital circuit

Re: Line 6 M9 scenes and MIDI

As they say: "The disadvantage is, you can’t tweak or bypass any of the individual FX. You can only bypass the entire Scene."

On the M13 you can give scenes meaningful names and access 12 scenes without using the Model Select knob so I guess I could set it up with no need for MIDI.

On the M9 you ...

Line 6 M9 scenes and MIDI

I have a terrible habit of buying stuff that's a bargain, usually because it's end-of-sale and very soon thereafter no longer supported, which is why I currently have a Line 6 M9 and an M13

It's only recently that I found that the "scenes" on the Line 6 M9 (and M13, come to that) can be swapped ...

Re: Line 6 Variax (and others) jack socket re-fixing trick

Couldn't find a gold-plated/gold flashed one without ridiculous shipping so just got a Cliff one from CDC Farnell that cured the noise problem for now.

Re: Strangz (strings for the g'itar)

I generally use D'Addario or Rotosound 9s. I have very dry hands and my strings don't normally tarnish from playing. My son Matt does have problems with tarnish so he uses Elixir Nanoweb coated strings.

Line 6 Variax (and others) jack socket re-fixing trick

My Line 6 Variax 300 has been having some noise issues relating to the jack socket so I decided to strip it down and use some deoxidising spray to try to clean up the contacts. The jack socket is soldered to a PCB and fitted to a curved plate. It has a plastic body and an externally threaded chromed ...

Re: Things to do with Chocolate

Slightly refined to stop source voltage leaking back into the other MIDI controller - without the additional diodes, switching one on produced enough power to partly power up the other controller through the TRS interface. I used BAT43 Schottky diodes that have a low forward voltage drop of about ...
