JohnH's Tayda pedals

Don't think anything of it... Pick one with the sounds you like and post it, and be damned to those who want to criticize...

I first picked up the guitar in the late '70's... learnt to play the entire Beatles song book and quite well at that... put the axe down for near on 30 years and do you think I can play any Beatles now?? I can barely get through 'Back in the USSR'...

And, a huge big YEAH to that rabbit hole... I just found another one for myself... DMX stage lighting gear.. setting up to fix those buggers is way worse than fixing tube amps, PA's and mixing desks combined...

Ha ha, well, that is entirely true. You're right of course - I'll have another crack!

What is it about the lighting that's so complex?

What is it about the lighting that's so complex?

Driving the DMX light things is pretty easy although being creative is a matter of opinion... The hard part is when things don't go as planned and then finding out what is misbehaving, and with some fixtures that can be quite an ordeal...

I'm working on a $2.5k 150W LED moving head DMX spot with selectable gels/gobo's at the moment and it's proving to be quite the challenge (and with the covers off is often blinding) to fix. Lets just say the onboard controller is giving me an attitude problem with the fixtures errant mechanical and electrical behaviour...Things like focus, gobo alignment, gel selection, X & Y trim, motor & LED temp & current settings, and cleanliness are just some of the things to be examined... The 55W little brother I worked on just prior was a walk in the park by comparison...
