Bass Pedals

[Sticks]

Hi Ed (if you see this!)

Firstly kudos to you all for the stunning music.

I noted you used bass pedals and I'm sure I hear them
on Blink (Under Fire to name one)

Being a big fan of Genesis and their Moog Taurus pedals,
I just wondered what you used?

Do you tour with them?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Sticks

Thanks for the kudos first off!

Funny you should ask

We usually just use a board on the recordings for obvious reasons? Better sounds etc?

Live I have been using some Fast Forward Midi Steps for some time now. Like from the first shows in 91. I simply run them through a OB 1000 module. Although I am thinking of changing some things up maybe even running them through a keyboard now. We shall see? I have not used the Taurus Pedals only becasue they are so tempermental. Not reliable? Although I do have a line on some at the moment? And they sound great so I am tempted?

Unfortuanatly upon opening the case for my Pedals at Nearfest the circuit board was cracked and I had to grab some Roland pedals backstage last minute with no hold button So I had to stand on the damn pedals in amny parts which pretty much sucked! Needless to say I left some parts out!

Actually I am having both mine and Dougs repaired at the moment and we plan to have a duel attack in the future?

I am a huge fan of any Pedal use especially when they shake stadiums! You do hear them on Under Fire and many other Enchant songs! I think the loudest ones I ever heard were Chris Squires? when I saw three or four people next to me and there was only one really? Vibration!

Hey thanks Sticks

They look pretty cool.

Problem is when it gets hot or cold?

Thankfully I will have mine back soon!
