Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

This is a good deal, £35-40 in UK, most guitarists would be very happy to receive this from Santa even if you already have loads of gear. I have the Lekato branded version and love it as up in running in 5secs...

I was listening to a review of that earlier, sounded good, but I never know if the reviewers of such things have been given free gear to make them sound as awesome as possible using other much more expensive gear. Thanks for confirming it aint a waste of money. Might buy one, but I'm mostly on the keys - for guitar I have the Line 6 Amplifi TT (and other stuff), the app for which against all odds continues to function all these years later - it cannot last tho.

OK so their website can fck off, I cannot get the price you get and have given up, then I tried on gaming PC next to me and I get £4.78 welcome deal...like I said they can fck off.... The reason I've only ever previously ordered 3d printer spares, after this I won't be back until need more printer spares...

Thanks for the help anyway!

The welcome deals appear when you haven't created an account and signed in. Their search engine is designed to be inaccurate and keep you tempted using cheap stuff you never requested or ever wanted, and it sends you results loosely based on what you're previously looked at and searched for. Fiendishly evil. Amazon did the same about 12 years ago. It stopped after I emailed jeff@amazon.com a long complaint. True story.

Nope, but this reverb sounds nice for the money. I haven't listened closely for noise yet - I bet that will happen via the power supply, if one is supplied.

Sounds pretty good to me, much better proposition than a mini pedal reverb for only few quid more. M-WAVE do a lot of FX stuff, I linked to the multi FX above from them and this reverb look like another OEM product rebranded by few sellers.

Most of these pedals are around 50% cheaper from AliE than in UK so fill yer boots I suppose...

It seems to be a TC Hall Of Fame wannabe, doesn't sound nearly as good, but it's so damned cheap... NO! I refuse to be drawn into the game of constantly hunting for gear when I should be dreaming up tunes, when it's time. The latter is much harder.

I was signed in to the website in Chrome on both PCs so they 'know' ;-)

I found a link to that multi FX pedal on google for less than £2 on AliE, when I clicked through the 'product' page had actually three completely different products on that one product page? A £2 cable (the jailbait link), the FX unit was £25 and some other shite for whatever it was? Cntos! Never again!

Know what you want, order then leave!

Get one. for £40 in UK it was a great buy, for under £25....buy one for everyone you know for Christmas...

EDIT: you can also use it as a digital interface via USB but not sue what latency is like, also you can use the free software to edit the presets on laptop.

I have the Chibson, small amp and that FX pedal at side of my desk, playing in around 10secs when urge takes me! Usually record on phone too just in case....!

Not recorded with it mainly cos it's much easier to use Cubase and Amplitude for FX (full control) and just use a (cheap Rowin) noise gate on way in (and another in Amplitude).

It's nuts these days, the kids have it so good....you can buy an amazing guitar for around £140 with padded case and quality lead, chuck in a small practice amp and that multi FX pedal and you golden for under £200 with kit that will last you for a good while.

Why would I want headlights which light up the road hundreds of feet ahead?

Who mentioned anything about "hundreds of feet" They illuminate 50/60 feet at best. and you need a bit of a spread, as pot holes arent always in your immediate path. Then theres speed of course, for example going down a hill.

Last thing I want is to be suddenly surprised by a hole or obstacle because I didnt see it in time.

Yep, got that using four easily replaceable inexpensive headlights soldered to a big ebike battery. If I want to repair: cheap new Pulse Width Modulator and/or buck converter - or component(s) thereof, or replacement LED bulb/panel. I hope you have the lighting solution you need.
