just about everything...

hello all it seems the snow has kept you all busy - it's rather mild here in the uk at the moment, though in the event of it tipping down with snow - i do live annoyingly close to work, so i can just walk in... anyway i have several halfpennys worth of comments to chuck in so here we go: Ken's comment of wanting more 1u modules - i agree totally having opted for the second hand neve metalwork system of 3 rows of 11u - it's about time i made another multiple i fear... which brings me onto multiples - i just drilled a bit of 1u panel and installed 4 x 4 way multiples in a rough MOTM pattern - the holes aren't straight, but then again neither is the transfer lettering, and i couldn't be bothered to spray the panel black either - it adds character. with regard to normalling i would venture to suggest that normalisation leads to patch laziness - or it would for me anyway (prepares stooge salute for any forthcoming double eye pokes) i prefer the wandering patch cable / i wonder what happens if approach - which i suppose is why i got into modular stuff in the first place power distro - i keep all power disto on panels at the back of my cabinet (well actually it's just a chassis at the moment) Line Six Delay Modeller - i'm talking with line six at the moment about being able to plumb a control voltage into the expression pedal port - the lexicon vortex regulates a cv input down to it's 0-5v operating range, the line six might not - i'll post any info i get, but it looks like a small interface might be needed (small price to pay for the possibilities of voltage controlled delay modeller) that's all ta-ra paul b
