00:00Rex board this is a this is this is a little setup I've got here

00:05um here we are

00:10this is a whole little box specific made

00:18yeah all it's got the lid on it this all comes up everything goes up and shuts

00:24the only one in existence um my br80 goes in the top of there

00:34goes in this shelf leads go in and out of there and um you know um

00:45input output and then it's coming through here I've always got my super over drive but I bought

00:50I bought my this lane six pod express and it's it actually it's it's turned out to be really good

00:57like and um I also got the my digital delay here um the idea was to have these two

01:07together but you know I've actually rigged this up as well so the batteries go in the back of here

01:13rather than faffing about getting them in there so they just plug into the back on these little

01:18air leads these are stag so I got these stags so they'll be all right like because I always use

01:24stag microphone leads stags good like and but you know I thought that would happen like the the

01:31batteries didn't last five minutes in you know in the delay like and you know I've got a battery

01:38charger as well for the delay pedal but it's like um god it takes about 10 hours to charge two batteries

01:46up so and the good thing about this little fella is why I bought these two together now I bought the

01:53the reason for that was because I knew it had delay on everything and it takes the three take three

01:59double a batteries and I'm keeping fingers crossed but I think the three double a batteries are lasting

02:04as long as long as they do in the br80 and the amp you know so that's now that solves it so basically

02:14this would be so that's not getting used for me busking so this would be just a delay pedal so I mean

02:23there's 140 quid so but that's even if I didn't use any of these it's still worth 150 quid for a delay pedal

02:29because it's using three double three double a batteries you know and um so I've just got to

02:35use my rechargeable um nine volt batteries for the the overdrive you know and uh so that's not and

02:45and that the overdrive doesn't doesn't like it doesn't go down too fast like you know so um

02:50um um but this this is great you know the digital delay is brilliant but just he took a battery so

03:01that's just going to be careful recording like you know um also I got that as well which is I was

03:09gonna I was gonna have the three of them on you know the eq as well but I found that um

03:16um you know I've gotten me I've gotten my new guitar there and it's turned out to be pretty good

03:24like you know the the angelico so all the all the tone pots and everything and the volume pots are

03:32really good so I mean I think I got the eq for really to be using with me hardwood you know because

03:38it was a bit bassy on the bass on the neck pickup I couldn't be asked to fast around you know adjusting

03:47the am pickup so but the the eq comes still comes in handy because that would be

03:56I'm actually using a guitar to bass so it's just nice little tweak as I'm putting down bass tracks

04:02and just really just helps you know my bass sounds getting really good now like when on me recording

04:07I have slagged the br8 not the br8 I've slagged the br800 off in the past um I didn't really slag it

04:17off I did and I didn't but I did see that the br800 is good for live recording which it is

04:23but you know you can record I mean I'm recording with it because it's just because it's like it's

04:27just it's just easy there's no space you know it's just I mean it's just you know that's all it is

04:33isn't it just there isn't it so uh it doesn't take on any space and um but you know I'm not using

04:42I'm only you yeah everything's getting plugged into it I'm even putting guitar effects into it now

04:46although the guitar effects are all right on that um it's I you know it's it's I was just comparing it

04:54next to the br80 you know which you know it doesn't compare to the br80 it you know in general

05:01but the br800 does do good it has got some good things but it's uh or else I wouldn't be using it

05:07you know so that's just uh so that's the thing about uh I'm quite happy with this like I'm quite

05:13happy with me this this you know this comes down and the whole idea of when it starts raining zip out

05:19zip out and that guns up that guns down all all sorted and I'm just adding a bit of space and a

05:28bit of a bit of wide screen when I do some of my guitar solos and with the sound of the

05:37De Angelico as well it's sounding really sweet with me backing tracks as well so

05:40the whole thing's gone up gone up a level like um and that's what it's about basically just the

05:50obsession about trying to improve sound and keep lifelong obsession about trying to

05:58do the best I can in the music
